When I was younger, I would tell friends having crises of confidence that if they couldn't believe in themselves, they could believe in me and we'd get through it together. I don't say that anymore. I'm not sure whether it's from growing up or growing tired.

In conversation, I realized today that I have nothing in my apartment that I'd be embarrassed for anyone to discover. No bongs or sex toys or pictures or porn. I feel oddly deficient.

What about you gentle reader? If you were to die tonight and your mom had to clean your home out, would you be embarrassed for her to find anything you own?

I...

Well, let's just say I hope Randy and I don't die together.

I don't think my mom would be too horrified, although my mother-in-law would be an entirely different story. I guess I have one of those "cool" moms. And by "cool" I mean "drinkin' buddy".

Sitting at my desk writing fitfully, I listen alternately to Pink Floyd and the tapping of cold November rain...life is ridiculously sublime when you accidentally quote Guns 'N' Roses lyrics.

I find that I'm still very good at my job, but I don't much care about it. I've always found the most amazing comfort in fatalism. I don't have any submission in my soul, so...

The subtitled version was pretty cool because they make the subtitles sort of interact with the dialogue and the action. It's hard to explain but it keeps the subtitles from taking away from what's going on.

I've been subject to that odd sensation that I get from time to time: the realization that despite my best efforts to the contrary I have a pretty good life.

Sitting on my couch with some decent tandoori takeout, I felt slightly out of body for a second. I thought about everything...well the everything of things that matter to me. I thought about the interesting...

I don't think I ever called you predictable. Just, you know, for the record. smile

And I know you're aware that it's only because your life is generally so comfortable that you're able to stress over dropping money (that you know you have) on something big and shiny.

We could all use that reminder from time to time. In my last comment I didn't thank you for bringing that thought to the forefront for me, but...yeah. Thank you.

(Oh, and you can thank this guy for the daily booty shots.)

YOUR personal time musings? I beg to differ, sir.

Sitting in my apartment, looking at the internet, and trying to forget the several thousand dollars of TV still in the box behind me, I finally caved and decided to attempt hooking the spare Mac mini to the new hotness. I rummaged around my apartment looking for a VGA cable, and for once, I didn't actually have the exact cable I needed. Anyone that's ever...

I suppose that's what I get for updating without really having anything new to say.

I spent a lot of money this weekend--say...50 times what I spend in a normal weekend. Now I'm sitting here listening to Echo and the Bunnymen and desperately hoping I'll sleep soon.

I've been on the edge of a panic attack for about five hours now. I really don't like spending money, and this isn't a necessity. That said, a very astute observer said that...

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...

It's about time. You've earned it. Now all you need is some hi-def amateur porn.

Ah, the joys of accessorizing.

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."

Ah, UTI meds. They do such amazing things to our daily excretions.
