Been playing PIrates!, the newst version. Quite fun, very EV Nova like. Most importantly, it helps keep me sane.

I've recently been thinking all kinds of strange stuff. Stuff like that I should just go jump into a relationship in order to mootify all this obnoxious internal drama bullshit. I have a really low tolerance for this sort of behavior, doubly so when I'm the...

So what's the deal with this Crush person? Do you fancy your chances, or is Crush just someone you're good mates with and you wish you had a chance with (this latter is generally the kind that I end up with)?

I spent the last 45 or so minutes listening to Jeff Buckley, drinking scotch, and throwing darts. I think this is a pretty good metaphor for my headspace right now.

Going to see Sideways today. Been a pretty sedate weekend so far. Spent a few hours on the phone Friday then stayed in. Went out for a couple hours last night then turned in early....

My new laptop has made me start going out more, which is a good thing. I've also been on an editing kick recently, which is also a good thing (Though not as good a being on a writing kick). I've revised (or completely rewritten) four of my stories in the past couple of weeks. I'm hoping to go through and revisit the rest of them,...

What sort of things do you write about?

How does having a laptop encourage you to go out more? Sorry if that seems like an impertinent question. I don't mean anything by it. I am just curious.

Sorry that your girl situation is messing with your head! I hope it all gets resolved soon.

A fantasy novel? Do you mean like swords and magic and stuff. I used to read fantasy when I was younger. I think that my favourite example of fantasy writing was probably Ursula LeGuin's Earthsea Trilogy.

So why do you write about dysfunctional family relaionships? Do you have a personal reason or do you simply find family dynamics to be interesting?

It figures that the one day I have a lot of time sensitive errands to run is the one day I get stuck at work waiting for shit to be delivered. Woe is me!

In good news, my iBook came in yesterday. I'm going to grab it today when all my running around is done. Course, I'm not going to have hardly any software for...

Hey, I have some advice about your iBook...be sure and manually turn your firewall on in your "security" preferences, or Network Prefs...can't remember which it is. Also, you should think about investing in Software: Tech Tools Pro. It is the best Utility software for the Mac. It is great for defragging the HD. Oh, and buy an external HD for backup, especially if you do photography or have a butt load of pics on your computer.
Cheers and Good luck...ENJOY!

Wraith isn't convinced yet about fully switching to MAC...poor guy. tongue

Lesson of the Buddha: all things are transent. Up to and including 60 gigs of MP3s. Quite sad.

Good news: Hotaru is back up and running, better than ever. (Except for the having no MP3s) OTher than hard drives, she's brand new. Also ordered my iBook yesterday. Sort of computer exhausted at this point, but now I get to spend all day installing and tweaking....

My observation hours report is due today. I thought about doing it last night, but watched deadwood instead. I just can't get excited about doing this pointless ass schoolwork anymore. (one more month, one more month)

Might be going camping with crush-person. Another excellent chance for me to be a pussy, but at least this time I can do it in the wilderness. Hopefully it...

Spending the weekend in Nashville. Went to a wine tasting party last night on an empty stomach. Feeling much better now, but I'm still sort of exausted and run down. Might take a nap later. Think I'm going to a house party full of people I don't know tonight. Luckily, I brought a bottle of makers to help me through it.

Going to see The...

Yes...Sitting in a dorm room all day really starts to drive you crazy, stuff like notes from random people really add a lot, as sad as it is.

Got a random call from the Apple computers financing place in regards to my application for financing I did weeks ago. Turns out they ok'ed it. How odd, but I decided I might as well go ahead and get an ibook. (woo!) Only $35 a month and all.

Currently, my computer situation is in chaos. Considering how much the computer dominates my life, this is...

I was absolutely despondant yesterday. Waking up and finding out I'm clearly living in a nation that is out of it's fucking mind put me in a funk. It sort of heightened all the other shit I was upset about : Annoying crush, Really Annoying Computer Issues, Super Annoying School Stuff.

It only went downhill. Went to Best Buy service center to pick up my...

Ah, fuck. Just spent a fuck ton of money, which I'm never a fan of. Thought my motherboard died, so I got a replacement. Turns out my old motherboard was fine, my proccessor was fried. So, just bought a new processor. In the end, I suppose it'll be worth it in that I'll have a MUCH better computer (Ath1700 improves to Ath3200, plus 512mb more...

<political bullshit>

I just read the transcript of Jon Stewart kicking the crossfire goons around like the fucking shitbags they are. As I was reading it, I noticed at the end 'On the right, I'm Tucker Carlson.' 'For the left, I'm Paul Begala' It's hard to argue with news as entertainment when they're basically say 'Tonight I'll be playing the part of someone who is...

Yeah, I have to agree. While I'm down with cocks in assholes generally, I'm not so much down with them in *my* asshole.



Not even for eternal salvation? wink

That's a great book. It was one of the first I read on the subject. Frankly, one of the best things about this site is handing people like SouthernLoyalty their assess.

Craptacular. Motherboard on my desktop is fried. Had to order a new one. Ugh. I had just downloaded a bunch of new music for the trip to Nashville this weekend.

Also, chapter twenty six was on the desktop. I had it in my head to write tonight, so I decided to just start on chapter twenty seven instead.

now, though, i'm mostly wasting time on...
