Day 45 (Fri., July 22)

Vote for Pedro!

Yes, today was another of those movie days. I saw so many movies. Yet, I was still very productive.

The photo above is what I have on the wall over my kitchen sink. It's a reminder to myself to be a little more organized and clean. The "WooHoo!" is a reversible sign that reads "Boooooooo" on the other side. Under the "WooHoo!" is the word "Dirty", so you get the idea. I want to have the "WooHoo!" tab up as often as possible. For the most part, it has worked all summer. I just wished I did that for other parts of my apartment. I have slacked off. But today everything changed. I woke up w/ the worst stomach ache in a long time. Something must have hit my stomach wrong. I think it was the colorful ice cream from a major, national-known ice cream store that I ate last nite at 10 p.m. I was dying for ice cream last nite, so I went and got my favorite: the ice cream w/ the pop rocks. I would love to say the name of the company and the name of the ice cream, but since I think it hit my stomach wrong, I don't want to be sued w/ libel (more on libel in a second). Let's just say it's my favorite ice cream store and, although they have a flavor for every day of most months, I would only eat the colorful one w/ the popping candy that's on the kid's section. I also had a different type of ice cream added to the mix. The cotton candy flavored ice cream was pretty good. I don't know what it was, but something upset my stomach and I feel awful today. Luckily, I am off and I don't have to worry about calling in sick.

If you're not familiar w/ journalism words, libel is the type of law suit you can be charged w/ in court. In order to be libel, there's got to be a few things that come into play. The name of subject must be clear, there has to be some sore of defamatory claim and/or statement in something that is published, and all of this has to have been done w/ the publisher and/or editor doing so while knowing the statement was false and fabricated. The key to all of this is that it must be published. Over the course of such a long journalism studying, I have learned all there is to know about libel. Well, I hope I did. Many things can be considered libel through loopholes and stuff.

So, anyways, today I cleaned house. God did I ever. My bathroom was beginning to look like that of a typical 26-year-old single male. Woops, did I just stereotyped? Well, you know what I meant, so I guess you're guilty of the stereotype, too. I left that room so spotless, I can practically eat off the floor. Ha! The kitchen needed some cleaning and I was able to sort through a bunch of newspapers that seemed to cover every piece of furniture from the front the living room, to my kitchen and bedroom to my bathroom. I guess you would know I am into newspapers if you were ever to come over and see my place. Cleaning was healthy, it kept me from thinking about my stomach ache. Tonight, I felt too sick and I figured it's because I have been eating so much junk and not exercising too much. So, today I did my first run in over three weeks. Man, I have let that go. Well, I am going to try run as much as I can for now on, we'll see.

Yesterday - Main - Tomorrow
