I watched Jerry Seinfeld's 'I'm Telling You For The Last TIme' taped comedy routine last night. He does his usual, Did you ever notice? What's the deal with this...? Who ARE these people? And you kind of giggle along. He did one bit that really got me. He talked about how he went to the track not long ago with some of his friends, how he doesn't know what he's doing at the horse races, he just places a bet on something and sits down and cheers while he watches. Then he starts in on how it would be a very different race if the horses knew that if they fell and injured themselves they would get their brains blown out. Seinfeld pretends he's a horse running down the track, looking around, making sure no other horses come too close to him, going, 'Take it easy! Take it easy! You place. I'll show. Whatever! Nothing's more important than your health.' For some reason that set me off laughing my ass off.
The woman whose phone number I found while cleaning my apartment is in fact a Japanese national. She is in Vancouver on the premise of studying English at one of the Visa factories that operate around this gorgeous town. She unfortunately can't put four words of English together in a row. I no longer have it in me to be able to sit through that unless I'm getting paid for it.
