I've often said that if a body doesn't have anything immediately wrong with him or herself, that body'll get busy inventing something to trouble over.

I've been doing that today. It's somewhat fascinating to watch. My life has evened out pretty well, so I have decided to torture myself with somewhat petty material desires.

The gist of the matter is that I haven't had a...

Things are quiet lately. So quiet in fact that it's hard to come up with anything to talk about.

I'm still a little sick, but I'm on the mend. My job is frustrating, but I've learned to apply zen to it. Entertainment seems to be in a lull, so there's not much for me to get excited about. I'm trying to write, but there isn't...

I spent some time wondering why I never played the bass anymore this evening. Then, I decided to uncrate the poor thing. She was out of tune, and I don't remember shit. However, my fingers hurt now, and I'm oddly happy.

Upon noticing that my temporary medication had turned my pee a bright, day-glow, Hi-C orange, my first thought was, "Fucking sweet."

My second thought was, "I'm not flushing a public urinal again."

Chapter 10,813: In which our hero almost passes out in an airplane bathroom, pees in a cup, and has a doctor argue about the possibilities of STDs before admitting that our hero does indeed only have a urinary tract infection.

Yay for painkillers.

I completely forgot I had a Yahoo! email address. Well, that's not entirely true. I forgot that I'd ever had mail sent in that direction. Turns out that's where I had all the email from the anarchist/prankster collective sent.

Now I realize that by going on vacation, I'll be missing urban golf in Capitol Hill. Alas, poor mayhem, I enjoy you well. On the plus...

I neither interview nor mope well. The two are often hideously related, but I'm always glad of the latter fact when I'm reminded of the former.

Quite often my dreams are of blood and fire and grace. They resemble a Hong Kong shoot-em-up without even lip service being paid to plot. I find these refreshing.

Last night, I dreamed that Apple announced some really sweet computers that I couldn't buy because I'd just purchased a new Mac mini, and it was terrifying.

I wonder about myself most days.

Through the sort of diligent and pointless research that I do when I'm not especially motivated to do anything else, I found out that many of my favorite bands can be classified as either groove metal or anarcho punk. Beyond the "huh, people have too much time on their hands" response, there is the vague amusement that punk has a taxonomy and that one part...

I added a new Apple Cinema display to my desk to replace the venerable DiamondPro that had anchored my desk at a beautiful 1600x1200 for nearly eight years. I've got two monitors bigger than this one at work, and yet this one still pleases me.

I am a size queen, apparently.

Up early. Chores done. Breakfast consumed. Today will be a good day, or heads will roll, which would per force make it a better day.

Yesterday looked like it was going to be pretty rough, but somehow I scraped through. I got my new iPod case in the mail. It's made from a kimono obi by a little company in Australia. Globalization has its upsides...

Spent the afternoon planning on doing something...I suppose ridiculous is the best way to to describe it...with a Mac mini, my Newegg account, and a Merom processor. I was defeated by lack of retail Merom processors. Sadness.

This evening I find myself restless and vaguely sad. I'm trying every trick I have in my quiver, but I still end up a bit depressed most days....
