i cant help it

valentine's day and birthdays are always disappointments.
because no matter how much i don't want to have expectations for a really romantic day, i still do because society forces it upon me!
diego asked me what i wanted to do for valentine's day and i said: work.

i'm trying to memorize all these wines for work so that i can sell a lot and make a lot of money. but i just can't understand how something could taste like mixed berries, SMOKE, EARTH, violets, and MINERALS and still be appealing.

rut-a-tut-tut

sometimes when i write a blog, i write it just for a certain person. i will think, oh right "carlos" reads my blog. i think "carlos" would really like my blog if i wrote something like "this." i do it a lot. and then i want to go and delete those blogs because do i really care what "carlos" thinks? but then i don't delete them because of course i really care what "carlos" thinks.

i used the name of my car as a general name referring to everyone whom i have tried to impress with my blog.

i also just tried to impress everyone with my usage of "whom." but re-reading it, i think its incorrect. impressed?

dietribe

i only eat under two conditions:
1. diego calls me and tells me what i want to eat or,
2. i go out to eat with diego and he tells me what i want to eat.

being indecisive is turning out to be a pretty good diet plan.

ooh look. DIEgo, DIEt.

borders upon borders

today, i ordered five books. i didn't mean to order five. i meant to order three. the first three i picked out, cost $35.69 and i meant to pay $25 with the gift card that danny got me for christmas and put the other $10.69 on my card. but i'm retarded and somehow didn't understand how to use a gift card. SO, then i still had a $25 gift card and even though i was devastated at having bought $35 worth of books when i had 25 FREE dollars, i decided the FREE 25 dollars should not go to waste. so then i bought $25 dollars worth of other books.
overall, a good day.
here's what i got:


the virgin suicides by jeffrey euginides






everything is illuminated by jonathon safran foer







diary by chuck palahniuk







the mysteries of pittsburgh by michael chabon







such a pretty girl by laura wiess

obrigada

in brazil they have a dish similar to egg salad but they call it mayo or mayonnaise.
so today when daniel was making it, i said, "are you going to put mayonnaise in that?" and he said "what is mayonnaise?" so then i explained it to him by saying, "its the same as mayo." and he said, "what is mayo?" so then i did the only thing i could think to do to explain it and pulled it out of the fridge to show him. and then he said, "i know that's mayonnaise or mayo. but this is mayonnaise AND mayo." and pointed to the unfinished dish.
i have a hard time communicating with these brazilians sometimes.
but mayo/mayonnaise is delicious.

wii queremos jugar

turns out that the wii is actually a very valid form of exercise.
ever since diego got it, i have been playing all day every day.
and now i am so sore i can barely walk.
now i don't have to pay for a gym membership which is convenient because i still don't have a job.

don't judge me if i end up working at wendy's.
