Tainted potato chips

I know I just posted one yesterday but today an event happen that could only be expressed through a blog.

As a college student without a job to speak of, I have very limited funds and in fact made my last purchase of entertainment last week when I bought Jane Eyre. However, hunger overcame me today so I decided that I would go down to the bookstore at my school and by something to eat as long as it was under three dollars total. So, I bought me a mediocre ice cream bar and a bag of my favorite chips, sour cream and oninion. I was extremely excited to actually eat something so I hiked up to the sixth floor to enjoy my food while reading, none other but "Jane Eyre." I ate the less than average ice cream looking forward to my chips. Let me tell you why sour cream and oninion are the best chips, it's because they are full of flavor and salty goodness.When you bite into them it's as if you are taking a bit of pure happiness and you know that God loves you. Fully expecting this ecstasy as I took my first bite I paused in my reading. What did I find? The entire bag was void of flavor, there was no salty to greet my tongue, no ringing bells, nothing. Someone forgot to flavor my chips! There wasn't even salt. They were tainted, and my mouth was now tainted from the tainted chips.

Do you know what it's like to have heaven taken away from you when you had already paid the price? Just eat a plain chip when you were expecting chips so chalk full of flavor they give your mouth cankers. Bleh! oh well life goes on.

Jane Eyre

My life was not complete until I saw Jane Eyre and even still until I complete reading it. I have just purchased this heaven sent movie. It is four hours long, but I still find that I have to put restrictions on myself so I don't watch it everyday. I have now come to only watching it once a week and the second disk again on the weekend. This should do quite nicely especailly since I am now reading the book.

Why do I love Jane Eyre so much? Well, I'll tell you, I am in love with Mr.Edward Rochester. There I admit it I have now reduced myself so much that the only way for me to find true happiness is to marry a fictional character with a sinful past. Alas I have become a full blown hopeless romantic.Of course I must explain that it is not so much Mr. Rochester himself but rather the love between him and Jane Eyre. Fictional yes, but no less inviting.

Another thing what the freak is up with the name Edward being tainted with vampirism? It was most definately taken in classics such as this one discussed long before being in love with a man who wanted to such your blood was thought to be attractive. But oh well, life goes on.

Waiting for chicken to boil

My goodness. My body feels like someone strecthed it across pointed rocks and beat me with a two by four. What really happened was indoor soccer which is debatably more painful. That game last night really showed me that although I may not look like that fat kid in the corner, I definately am one. Not to mention I'm the loser who misses the ball when it's right in front of you. The game was in Ogden and I'm grateful I didn't get too lost, of which I'm very prone to do. This trip I only turned into two wrong places and had to turn around once, but I still manged to get there on time so no complaining here.

But I do have one complaint. What the heck is up with those billboards for Jim Bridger? Am I the only one who has noticed those? I mean come on really. It's great that Jim Bridger discovered the great salt lake and all but I'm pretty sure that was something covered in fourth grade along with those other mountain men. Why is it necessary for there to be a bill board about it and then to have a website on the bottom that is solely about Jim Brigder. What about Peter Schen Ogden or Jeddiah Smith? The only way that website would be romotely helpful besides to the fourth grade population of Utah would be if some woman had an unnaturaly lust for rustic dead mountain men. And if that's the case she has got some serious issues, but I guess life goes on.
