Day: July 24, 2002

I’m really enjoying the process of writing for 600 seconds. Today, because for some reason that was the topic I picked, I wrote a little something about elephants. What I’d originally planned to write, though, started to take considerably longer than the ten-minute time limit. I’ll leave it to you to decide if it was worth continuing with here. I will say this much: it is extremely hard to find words that rhyme with elephant.

They say an elephant, if it’s relevant, just for the hell of it, will never forget. Because an elephant is intelligent, it’s a benefit to have one as a pet. Some elephants know all the elements and they can tell if it’s the one you want at a glance Some elephants are enveloped with a certain elegance and might ask you to dance. There are elephants who speak with eloquence on the developments within the herd. And there’s no need to yell-aphants if you can’t hear the elephants. It’s just as well-aphants. Most don’t say a word.

I think, without quite realizing it, this is what I had in the back of my mind as I was writing it.

I am indescribably bored. I would describe it for you, but…well, you know. When I’m at work, I feel like I should be at my apartment, packing for my move. When I’m there, all I want to do is sit on my couch, surrounded by cardboard boxes, and watch television. At least I managed to buy a new desk today and confirm with my rental office when I can pick up my key. But otherwise…man am I bored!

Coca-Cola is apparently having a contest. The inside of my bottlecap says “Sorry go to Coke.com for fun.” It’s that sorry that amuses me. I keep wanting to write them a note saying something like, “aw, don’t be like that. I’m sure Coke.com isn’t that bad.”
