Sucky, Sucky SUCK

You know what sucks? Fundraising. Oh, I've mentioned that, have I? Well, that doesn't change the fact that it sucks. Here's an excerpt from a letter to a friend of mine:

"No one seems to give a rat’s ass about supporting the arts – much less a student filmmaker. And begging has been fantastic for my sense of humility ... It’s especially humbling when it comes down to them only giving you money when you tell them that their $15 contribution is tax deductible."

So you can get a sense of how enjoyable this experience has been. On a lighter note, I cleaned my desk today. Which of course meant that I went through about 100 receipts for things that eat up all my money - you know, I wondered where the money went until I found the receipts. $96 at BJ's for frozen taquitos, 36-can cases of Pepsi and Sierra Mist, 50-packs of muffins (just kidding). My taquitos only last about three days! They're both a meal and a snack.

Seriously, though ... you'd think I was stocking for a nuclear holocaust and yet we've managed to eat our way through most of what I bought just a week ago. And it's not like I can simply choose to not eat - I'm hungry; I eat. If I don't eat, I'll walk around the kitchen for twenty minutes trying to find something to tide me over until it's time for a full meal. Eventually, I settle on just having the meal - then about an hour later, I'm hungry again. I think they just need to make the portions bigger in those BJs bulk packs. I mean, if they sell taco sauce in packs of three and about a quarter of the jar is needed for an entire package of taquitos, don't you think they should sell taquitos in 12-box cases? I think I may simply be ranting about this because ... well, I'm hungry. Time for some taquitos.
