I still haven't finished that damn Umberto Eco book and I started it in December. Does Foucault's Pendulum have a point? Is Causabon going to save his friend from the Templars? I am so tempted to re-write the book in the present, because then it would cut out two-thirds of the book. "Hey, look at this link on Wikipedia! It explains when the English Templars missed the French ones!"

I keep forgetting to write this, but Mark and I saw Pursuit of Happyness a while back. This is the conversation we had afterwards:

Me: Did you like it?
Mark: Yeah, I thought it was good. What did you think?
Me: I liked it, but if I were in the girlfriend's place, I so would have left him and taken the kid, too.
Mark: Really? I thought she was kind of a bitch.

Then we had a discussion about why Chris Gardner couldn't just get a job at McDonald's or something until he could finish paying off his rent. Don't get me wrong - I really enjoyed the movie, but the setup kind of irked me. Maybe I am old-fashioned. I was also annoyed at the scene where he's bitching at the Asian janitor for not fixing the word "happyness" on the wall, and the janitor just keeps telling him in Cantonese that he doesn't speak English. I kept wanting to scream at the screen - the guy doesn't speak English! Stop talking to him! Talking to him like he's deaf won't make him understand you!  People do it often enough in real life; I don't need a movie reminding me.

I have been really hungry for the past few days, and that's mostly because of the wisdom teeth removal. I am so paranoid right now that I'm going to get something stuck up there and then my mouth will get infected. A co-worker told me a horror story about her wisdom teeth and she is still having trouble even though her wisdom teeth were removed over 8 years ago. I hope I'm keeping my mouth clean enough. I really miss crunchy food. I'm getting really sick of noodles and soup.
