la vida es una tombola

I'm in my 20s and live in Austin, TX. Ask me anything.

A few of us were teasing Daniel today because he met a girl a few weeks ago, hit it off quite well and then found out she is only 19 years old. I pointed out that she was born in 1994, and then started laughing until S. said “Yeah! 1994! I was in kindergarten then.” Kindergarten?? I was in the 6th grade. Things weren’t nearly as funny after that.

Consider this part 1 in what is sure to be an ongoing series for the next 6 months called “I’m turning 30 in November.”

Today, via someone’s gchat status, I discovered the game GeoGuessr. They show a picture from google streetview, and you have to guess where in the world it’s from. Besides confusing Poland for Mexico, I did alright on this round.

Paul was only 80km away on his first try at the game, I accused him of being a witch.

I noticed recently that our Netflix streaming has a ton of “recently watched” entries that Paul and I didn’t watch. I tried changing the password, and the entries still kept appearing. Oddly enough, even though I changed the password on the netflix account, I didn’t have to re-enter the password on our Wii, it just kept working as normal.

Today I figured it out: Our playstation was one of the things taken when we were burglarized 18 months ago, and someone has finally bought it/ started using it. There’s an option to “sign out of all devices” on netflix, so hopefully this will fix it.

The other day, Paul and I took a walk around the neighborhood and ended up at Whip In. There was a man with a large dog, I was guessing Husky and Malamute mix. The dog was sweet, it came over and asked me to pet it. Someone else asked him what kind of dog it was, and he said it had some wolf in it. People often ask if Moxie is a wolf, and I think that’s pretty silly. I was having a similar reaction to this man and his dog — until the dog growled. It wasn’t like any dog growl I’ve ever heard, a chill went up my spine and I felt some kind of different fear mixed with respect. The growl was very low and sustained. It quashed my pipe dream of one day hanging out with a bunch of wolves. I guess I realized that my life with wolves would be more Lumpy Space Princess with wolves and less The Journey of Natty Gann. wolfdogs: The blue of distance.

I don’t want to name names, but a certain someone just confessed to me that despite having seen this movie probably over a dozen times, she just now understood this joke after I asked her if she realized today was the perfect date.
