pineapple season

it's wedding season.  I love weddings because they always makes me feel idealistic and romantic about love, life, marriage, etc...  it's hard to be cynical at a wedding.

But I found a new cure for any post-wedding optimism. I learned in the two days since the wedding that the best cure for hope is to read "Gone Girl".  That book will very quickly quash any good will one may have for marriage and love relationships.

they used pineapples for centerpieces

Is this a big meal for one person? 

i don't know anymore. 

Even if I'm enlightened to the point where I no longer watch tv now, I would have stopped watching when all the TVs these days have that super weird hyper real soap opera look.  It is impossible to ignore. The image quality throws me off more than poor acting, worse writing or unbelievable plot. It looks so wrong!

update: did tv always have so many commercials? were the crawlers always so big and constant and distracting? Why does anyone suffer through this when they can get it for free or cheap streaming online with no commercials.

update 2: hash tags on the upper right corner of the screen is a thing now... is nothing sacred?!

every back ground  in every scene looks like a high school you tuber green screen made with windows movie maker.

And the product placements...god is dead...nothing is sacred.  

A dwarf at the gym talked to me while I was doing bicep curls. He encouraged me to continue lifting. Said he "used to be as skinny" as me. He actually weighed more than me according to his self-reported weight  (I kind of don't believe his reported weight). 

Anyway, long story short:  Tyrion called me skinny. Wtf.
