Saw a great movie tonight. "Fur" have you seen it? Definitely worth seeing. Loved it.

Just finished building shelving with glass doors and embedded cd racks into 1/3rd of my den/office. Looks great and I finally have room for all my books, cd's and doo dads in the office. It all looks so grown up! hehe...

Later.

Well, initially I was really intrigued by the concept...but, like your friend ladybird, I'm somewhat hesitant to see a broadly fictionalized interpretation of a real person's life -- especially a person that I greatly admire (as is the case with Diane Arbus).

How are you and Mr. Snuffy doing? Life treating you well?

smile miao!!

i know alot of real stories are fictionalized and fudged as to details, but this was a totally fictional portrayl of a real-life person. weird. i just didn't want to watch it. i may be missing a good movie, yes. but i'd rather know the artists real life

So I got really really lucky in the stock market over the last couple of months, making a bet on a stock that has gone up about 600% since August. Hey it is not all good... I lost a huge chunk of money on this same stock in 2001 but that money is gone to me now.

So, with my windfall I paid some bills,...

whoa your blog is alot of tech-talk, i have my dad for that stuff. i'm glad things went well for you this time. i'd love to invest some moeny for upcoming school costs, but i don't want to lose it, so for now it sits. doing nothing. sighs. because even safe stocks aren't doing the best right now, my dad says. i know nothing about money either. geeze i lead a sheltered life...

hehehe yeah. he was really pushing the envelope talking about his friend's girlfriend's boobs this one night. so when the friend said he wanted to see mine, i'm doing rob a huge favour by holing out so he can see mel's. fair trade, no? especially since i could be pissed off and jealous with all his talk of her chest. jeeze.

Okay so I play computer games. Yeah what of it? smile I have been playing online RPG (think Dungeons and Dragons) games for the last 6 years or so. I have also been playing RTS (real time strategy... think controlling manipulating armies and economies) for a few years.

But I am burnt out on them. Not excited to play anymore. I enjoy but I need a...

Re. the Sony PS3: Sounds like the mother of all "home entertainment" systems. I'm afraid that's about all I can say on the matter as I am a total putz when it comes to things of a technical/mechanical nature. smile

I've dabbled a bit in RPG stuff, which can be rather fun. As to the the first person shooter games? Fugettaboutit!
My hand-eye coordination BLOWS.

Good luck in your quest for multi-media nirvana!

Well... welll... well... now this is what I had been looking for. I wondered for so long ( pushing towards 7 years now) what kind of society we live in. Certainly not a democracy any longer when one of the major ways Republicans have held onto power over the last 8 years is via their best efforts at voter suppression.

And why they would love...

Yes, I would like to see everyone just move on. I hope I'm not perpetuating the drama.. just trying to end it all and move on.

A work of pure genius...

You know it is tough when you perform a masterful stroke of genius at work and you have nobody to share it with because fundamentally nobody around you really understands what it is that you do all day long. I need a club of messaging architects I can sit around with and shoot the breeze and share my successes with...

Goodbye Grandmother 1925 - 2007

Tonight my grandmother Braun passed away. She had been battling uterine cancer for about two years now. They were a good and solid two years with little reduction in her ability to live her life and share it with her family. She will be greatly and sorely missed.

She still had all her wits about her, and mobility and was...

Condolences, my friend. What a lovely, simple tribute. To have good life -- let alone a good death -- is kind of an unusual thing, really. Sounds as she was truly blessed...in so many ways. smile

I have one remaining grandparent, who I see only infrequently. I'm thinking perhaps I should give her a call this weekend.

Bought a new comp, been configuring it and transfering data from the old comp. Keeping me offline for a bit. Spent the weekend in Astoria at the Hotel Elliot.... whoa. That little town is undergoing some drastic changes. Had a great time though.

On my way to the grocery store. Starving so I better go get some real food before I start eating all the...

Life, Family, Work


I still seem to be battling bouts of anxiety and I am still sorting out the sources but I suspect they are mostly related to the stresses around taking care of my one remaining grandmother and my other grandmother having just passed away.

I think it is my own mortality I am struggling with.

Further on today I am headed over to...

Sorry been distant... I have not been feeling well. Trying to sort out why. I will be around. Reading but not always writing.
cybele:
Always acceptable to take a break. You are under no obligation to keep the rest of us entertained.

Curling up with an enjoyable book is good therapy. (Curling up with a sweet, purring kitty is excellent therapy, too!) miao!!

Take care, my friend. Feel better soon.
