Today is so cold. It’s 4:54 pm. I don’t know how the day goes by so fast. I feel like I haven’t done anything today. I woke up, read all morning, and then spent about 2 hours playing around with my monitor again. It’s so fucked. It’s still not working right. I thought I could just use it with this MacBook, but it does something else weird when I plug this Mac in. With the MacBook Pro it doesn’t work when I close the lid, but it works with the lid open, but I can’t leave it open because the screen is fucked and I don’t want it to fall apart more than it already is. With the MacBook Air it seems to only mirror the Mac? And then the blue tooth keyboard won’t work? It’s so fucked up. I’ve really come to appreciate things that work all the time, every time. Things that do exactly what they say they do. I’m so sick of products that are just shitty half the time.
I spent a little time getting rid of some more stuff from under the stairs. I’m trying to do about one box per day. I’d like to see if I can get everything I wanna keep packed into just one box which I can hopefully take to Mami’s. After that there’s plenty of other sections of the house to take care of, but that’s where most of the stuff is.
I went and walked Harry after that. It’s so cold out. I wanna leave this country so baddddd!!!
I’ve been putting stuff from hard drives onto iCloud and that really makes me feel good for some reason. Everything in my life is very slowly beginning to feel very organized and safe. There seems to be growing this wonderful system. It’s the kinda thing I’ve dreamed of for a while. I would just love to find a way to make money wherever I am in the world. I really want to be able to just survive of off like two suitcases. I love having everything in the cloud because everywhere I go I always know all my stuff is safe. After it’s all on iCloud I think I’ll put it all on Microsoft One Drive and maybe even Google Drive as well, just so that it’s all ultra safe. It’s really cool.
I worked at the Fox last night. We played the Oscars. There weren’t very many people who came, even though it’s a free event. People aren’t really that excited about the oscars anymore, but that all changed last night. I wasn’t really going into the theatre to watch any of it. Every time I’d take a peek I’d get pretty bored. I remember thinking that I wish they would just have comedians host it, to keep it funny. Well at one point I just happened to go out and see what was going on, because I heard everyone in the theatre laughing. Chris Rock was on stage. I came out at exactly the perfect spot. He was up there, telling some jokes. He made a joke about Chris Rock’s wife. I didn’t understand the joke at first, but then the people in the audience kinda made that sound they do when they think the joke is inappropriate. He kinda laughed it off, carried on, but then suddenly there was a man on stage. I didn’t know who the man was, because I could only see his back. All of a sudden he slaps Chris in the face! Then the sound completely cut off! I immediately thought that Thierry, our projectionist, had made a mistake upstairs. Then the camera showed Will Smith screaming from the audience. It looked like he was swearing. Someone in the Fox audience said that he just broke the mic when he slapped Chris Rock. Then the sound came back on. I was stunned. I couldn’t tell if it was all a skit. The way Will Smith was screaming made it look like he was serious, and then when Chris started talking you could tell that he was stunned too. I couldn’t believe it. It was the craziest thing I’d ever seen on live TV. I wasn’t old enough to have seen 9/11 happen live, so I think this takes the lead as the craziest thing I’ve seen. I felt pretty angry with Will Smith. I was even angrier after the speech he made when he won for Best Actor. I really didn’t like the way he explained that he did it out of love. I hated that he used love to justify violence. That’s when I totally thought he was a real loser. It was bad enough when he smacked Chris, but I was expecting that he’d get up and apologize and say that it was totally unjustified. But he didn’t do that. He tried using love to justify it. That was pathetic and fucking weird. I’m curious to see what’s gonna happen next. I really wanna see if he and Chris are gonna release public statements or something. By the end of the night I got scared that everyone would just forget about it and move on. Well I needn’t have worried, because when I woke up it was all over everywhere. There was a video released by the Guardian of the ‘slap’ that already had over 37 million views in like 10 hours.
I rolled out of bed only to find that the snow had once again fallen. I got real morose and rolled over in bed. I took out my phone and watched Will slap Chris a few times. I read some of the comments and looked at some of the memes.
I got out of bed and went upstairs. There was a crowd of people in my living room. They were all helping themselves to a big feast.
“What’s going on here?” I asked, feeling my tummy begin to grumble.
“We made some breakfast! Help yourself! There’s enough here for everyone!” Said the president of some country.
“Who’s food did you use?” I asked suspiciously.
“Well we juts grabbed what was in the fridge!” Said another world leader.
“That was my food,” I said quietly. “That was enough to last me a month.”
“Surely you don’t mind sharing! Grab yourself a plate and eat up!”
I did as I was told and placed some steaming treats onto a plate. I sat on the couch next to the Prime Minister of France as we all watched Will slap Chris on the TV. We watched the clip on repeat, all of us screaming with shock every single time.
