The things that I find the funniest are generally quite absurd. or perhaps not absurd but just, I suppose they prod at the things that we take for granted as normal to expose how ridiculous they are.
I wonder if I could successfully write some sort of stand-up routine that poked fun at my own existence, because more and more it is seeming incredibly absurd. my adventure in the kitchen last night that included burning an entire pot of popcorn, shattering a wine glass and sobbing as I picked up the shards one by one (instead of using the nearby broom?!) off of the dirty kitchen floor, only to sulk back into my room and attempt to take a stab at my subtly Marxist thesis about the eating habits of lower-income women with diabetes. Yikes.
At this rate I’m going to end up with the disease myself, but I’m not stupid enough to complain about how my busy life as a student makes it difficult for me to find time to cook nutritious meals ahead of time. So instead…I’ll write about others peoples’ problems and other peoples’ solutions and continue eating one half of a giant pot of popcorn for dinner at 10:30 PM and the other for breakfast the next morning. Ridiculous. This is ridiculous, right? Right. What say you, Bill Bryson?
