As I float between worlds of sleep and half-awake like some damaged satellite, banging off everything in the way, I make my way to the journal.
I was going to change some things in my profile, but the site won't let me, so I guess it stays the same for now. Damn.
Weather here sucks. It's only in the mid-80s during the day, and gets down to the low-70s at night, but it's so fucking humid that the weather is a shade of unbearable that you can't even understand unless you've been through an Iowa summer...complete with deadly West Nile mosquitoes.
Everybody welcome Meph back to life as it ought to be. Let's keep him in this time, eh?
I had planned to transcribe in here about 5 pages from the notebook I keep at work, but as I read over it again, Bill's Capsule Review - it's a piece of shit. So I'll summarize.
I watched the Godfather set, the Robin Williams Live on Broadway, Blade Runner, and American Beauty DVDs at work over the last couple of nights. I miss Thora Birch looking that hot. She's all trendy and ultra-hip Kate Moss anorexic now. I miss Kevin Spacey acting that well. The new Austin Powers is on Starz now and his cameo in that just about made me cry. "Why Kevin? Why?". The Godfather gave me a hankering for some good cannoli. Unfortunately, I'm pretty well sure there is no cannoli in the entire goddamn state of Iowa. I wish I could afford a nostalgia trip to Chicago, but I'll just have to wait until I get to PDX.
Someone outbid me on Ebay again for my joker cards. Fuckers.
I finally found exactly the blade I'm looking for, the only problem is I think I've gotta get it shipped from Italy. Which makes the shipping a full 1/3 of the blade's value. And it might get seized by customs. But if it came, it'd be worth it.
So much stuff I need and so little money: need to get insurance (health and car), some decent clothes, a new coat before they get all expensive again when the weather gets cold (I think I found a nice one for like $40! Woo hoo!), and then there's just the shit I'd like to get if I had the money. This new switchblade, a nice black titanium watch I saw, the joker cards. Etc. Sigh. I'm broke.
Anyway, that's all for now. I'm getting tired again. I hope all is well with all of you- I'm going to be happier when work is finally over and as I get into my brief vacation period here before I move.

The humidity out here is rather bad too. Yesterday there was something akin to a fog at around two in the afternoon. Very, very strange.
Is it just me or it did Thora's nudity kinda undermine what they were trying to do with the scene. Jane didn't believe she was attractive and that she needed larger breasts to be attractive. Ricky saw that her beauty was elsewhere. When he's filming her disrobing he focuses on her face. Had we merely gotten that, I think the scene would've worked better. That we also get a shot of Thora's rather nice...ahem...assets seems to work against the idea that they don't matter. Perhaps I'm reading too much into the scene.
I actually thought that the Spacey cameo was one of the few enjoyable parts of that film. I'm in the minority on that one.
now that meph has found a place for you two, he can come down here and find ME a place to live...
