Monday, November 22, 1982


I had a real nice weakend. [sic] I had a birthday party up in Dallas where my dad lives, it was fun! I got Atari, Risk game and some books. I was able to go to Dallas because my soccer game was canceled. Today in school, I got out early because of a doctors appointment. I was glad! After that I went to the library and then I came home. I wanted to come home and play Atari but my mom hadn't hooked it up yet. So we had stew for dinner. Then I read a book.

Teacher comment: Sounds like a wonderful birthday!

Listen to me: I did not play Atari. I ate stew instead. And went to the library. And the doctor. Do those things sound "wonderful" to you? Sometimes, I don't even know why I'm doing this. I'm baring my soul to you and you're totally missing the point, off daydreaming about some other fairy-tale world filled with people using words like "wonderful" and writing in red ink. Wake up!

Also, it's kind of funny that I was waiting for my mom to hook up the Atari. I think shortly after this, she stopped setting up anything electronic, including VCRs and microwave clocks.

Maybe your teacher was trying to encourage you. But it does smack of the Emperor's New Clothes, doesn't it?

I love the drawings. Do you still draw?

Reya: I don't draw very often. But when I do, they look exactly like what you see here. PS: You're right. I'm unfairly being snarky with the teacher's comments. But it's kinda fun.

i like how your atari wasn't hooked up SO you had stew for dinner. as if stew for dinner is the natural progression of a not-yet-hooked-up atari.

sparkle: I know! I love that, too. I had noticed that but forgot to mention it. Thanks for having the same sense of humor and pointing it out.
