The Youth of Today

When I was home for Christmas, I had my first exposure to the Twilight phenomenon.  I saw the third movie in the series of adaptations.  My review:

1)  Edward is a real creeper.  Not only that, but a super mopey creeper.  He needs to cheer up and laugh a little every once in a while.  It wouldn't kill him.

2)  Bella is torn between being in love with a vampire and a werewolf.  She really just needs to go to college and meet a nice, normal boy with a sense of humor and no supernatural tendencies.  Maybe a doctor, a lawyer, or, hell, even an engineer.

3)  My sister summarized the next book for me.  First of all, vampires don't go on honeymoons.  Second of all, "imprinting" on a toddler has child molester written all over it.

Terribly Behind

So I have quite a few updates.  In no particular order:

1)  I'm in Delaware now.  I'm afraid that my family has turned into hillbillies.  We pulled up to our house and my Dad's truck was parked on the front lawn.  It was parked there so he could unload energy efficient windows.  But still.

2)  My downstairs neighbor's name is Gusty and he drives a tugboat.

3)  I broke my phone.  Again.  We will see how long I can last with a prehistoric flip phone.  I'm guessing about 2 days.

4)  I'm addicted to trident.  I order it in bulk from Amazon.  I have a pack a day habit.  There, Nate, I admitted my problem.  But I have no intention of quitting.

5)  My second best friend Tim decided to move to Baltimore.  I cried at the Nut House and I am still crying.  The Buick keeps trying to bring him back to California, but Tim is very persistent.  

Alright, I think that about sums up everything that has happened since my last post.

Already Failing

My week has gotten hectic and I'm already falling behind on my blog entries, mostly because I have been busy having dinner with Jennifers.  No, not myself, other Jennifers.  The highlights of the past couple days:

1)  An aspiring graffiti artist on Mission Street asked me to marry him the other night.  I politely demurred, requesting that he ask me again once he had improved his spray-painting skills.

2)  My new computer is amazing.  Now that my laptop is not a neanderthal, I don't have to be too embarrassed to go and work in the coffee shops in my neighborhood.

Ten Years Behind the Curve

I am starting a blog.  My best friend told me that starting a blog was the best decision he ever made.  Those are strong words from a strong person.  If I make it to posts that number in the double digits, I will be impressed, as should you.

I have given nearly zero thought to the structure or future content of "Jen Says".  Most likely this blog will contain the random musings and inane events that populate the life of this newly-minted Mission-dwelling PhD.  And maybe a few hilarious (to me) youtube videos.

And today, for posterity, I would like to note the following things.
1)  A homeless man asked if he could take me out for a drink.  Aren't homeless men supposed to ask me to buy them a drink?

2)  They are selling crack on my corner.  Bacon Crack.  There is a food stand selling small plastic bags filled with chocolate-dipped bacon almond butter toffee.  I did not purchase any, as I am a pillar of restraint.

3)  It's cold.
