“…writ in water”

I lied.  This next blog is not going to be much more interesting than my last one.  I’m sick.  I’m in one of those “I’m-in-a-crappy-mood-because-I-am-sick-so-I-am-going-to-whine-and-complain-to-my-heart’s-content-at-the-expense-of-peace-for-all-those-around-me.”  Yes, I guess I am selfish but I am only selfish when I am sick.  Let’s recap my crappy cold/flu or whatever it is.  I got a sore throat that hurt so much I couldn’t sleep. The sleeplessness has lasted the WHOLE week resulting in this dizzy/headache-y state that I am always in.  It was pouring rain yesterday- soaked my clothes, shoes, socks from the beginning of my day until I got home from work.  I can’t taste a thing.  I’m sniffly 24/7.  I’ve been coughing my lungs up.  There was a f*ckn HOLE in my umbrella yesterday while it was pouring.  I have a fever.  I have to go to work.  I’m stuck at work right now.  I hate being sick and therefore hate everything when I am sick.  Yes, hate- a strong word that I mean in every sense of the word that I can think of right now.  GRRRRR.

I think I just need a hug =(

I wonder how Wilde would feel if he found out that years later, the name Dorian Gray would precede his own?  Personally I think he would be quite amused.  The Picture of Dorian Gray is a book that I read and re-read without ever losing my admiration of its author, ideas and wit.  Currently I am re-obsessed with this book.  I can’t put it down even after I have finished it.  I think I am just addicted to that smug feeling of idolizing a book that celebrates the darker side of human nature.  It’s a great feeling and as Wilde would argue- there is no moral or immoral book, they are either well written or badly written.  It is in this light of art for art’s sake that I can truly appreciate The Picture of Dorian Gray.  It is a beautifully written book. 

So enough about my infatuation with Dorian Gray.  I become infatuated with books so often and repeatedly that I think there is something wrong with me.  So now, I have decided that the rest of today’s post is going to be about nothing.  In fact, it will be pointless. 

So where did all my friends go this weekend?  I’ve been trying to call you guys from back home- yes all you VANCOUVER people-  ALLLLLLLL weekend and not a single person picked up their phone!  WHERE ARE YOU?!  L MEH. 

What else can I talk about that is pointless?  I really want to watch Kingdom of Heaven and I really want to watch all 3 LOTR in a row.  But for some reason I think I am the only one I know who wants to do either.  Are epic movies out now?  Or am I just a really boring person? I’d hate to think that either answers could possibly be true- but now… I am not sure anymore. 

Okay one more pointless thing… hmmmm… pointless, pointless, pointless.  Is pointless even semantically correct in this context?  It just means that something is lacking a point.  But a physical point? Like a blunt arrow would be pointless- correct?  But what about point as an abstract noun?  Is that semantically correct?  A point = An idea/opinion?  Has my English gone through that much degradation since Taiwan that I am even pondering this question?  Or am I just lacking a good night’s rest? Or even, a few good nights’ rest?  Should I go to the gym tonight or should I just go home and sleep?  Questions, questions, questions.  Is my attempt at being pointless in this blog even possible?  Because if I am trying to be pointless- then it is my point to be pointless.  Therefore I am not being pointless but in fact, am making a point to be pointless.  But all this is a moot point if semantically, point isn’t an idea/opinion.  One easy way is to just look it up in the dictionary or on dictionary.com.  One sec…ahh… dictionary.com states that point can be an idea/argument/suggestion… etc.  I refuse to believe my English has gotten any worse, I think I just need more sleep.  Back to work now. 

P.S. I’ll write something much more interesting soon.  Sorry to have put you through that very pointless (but semantically correct,) blog J
