So the story goes, I've got a couple new roomates. Nice people, but I think we are going to drive each other nuts for a while. Not because we don't get along. But due to far to much worry about stepping on each others toes.

They have fed me two days in a row, I really don't expect them to do this. Nor do I really want it. Good food, but still. I have nothing to return for the favor.

Mmm, coffee. My most favorite drink in the world. Nothing is finer! I don't need any of those fancy blends. Most any old coffee will do. As long as it's hot, and black. Yum.

I've picked up some real media files, Lain (every eposode), AMG (all), kiki... The list goes on. AMG is not as bad as I expected dubbed. Still, it's not the same. Hmm, lain isn't either. But it's not bad. Heh, real media is better than I expected. Hmm, very cheesy.

I could think of nothing better to write about today. My life is pretty pitifual, it must be. Day off today, so I spent it sleeping. Yes, sleeping. All day! Heh, one of the great joys in life. I'd sleep 18 hours a day if I didn't have a job. I just enjoy it. Heh, nobody bothers you when your asleap, or look like it.

Thier is a guy here who appears to know Macs. Asking things like "Do you have OS 9 on there?", cool. Doesn't look like the geeky type, but then who does? Geeks are pretty hard to profile by looks alone. It has far more to do with what's inside, how the brains are wierd.

Mine is wired wrong somehow, I'm sure of it. I can be working very hard on something, then switch to something else, and go back. As if I never stoped on the first project. Not that I'm complaining so much :)

Sometimes you think your going to get it, and then you don't. That's just the way it is. Life is just not fair, never will be, never was. Brings me up to another topic of intrest...

I got my first ticket!

Ohh this pisses me off to no end. Do these people have nothing better to do than bother me? Or, more to the point. Bother people who really arn't causing a problem. Yesh. I'm so offended. I'll pay it, but hell, it's not going to change my driving habbits.

Yep, and I'm going to go into the office, and pay in small bills. Make the person at the counter count them our, just to make sure. Fucking waste thier time, just as they have wasted mine. If asked about it, I'll just explain how it is. They are useless anyway. I'm amazed people still even bother. Maby I just shouldn't.

Just about anything I could ever want is avaliable to me now, why do I still bother? At this point in time virtualy everything can be turned into strings of ones, and zeroes. I can have it all, so what's the point of increasing my social position when it's a moot point? This is none. Just keep up at work, and keep burning CD's full of obscure material. A collection of sorts. virtualy anything I could every want, if it can't be turned into a digital format, then I probably don't have any intrest in it anyway. Heh, with the advent 3D printers, this will even come to be a moot point.

Except for one thing. Real, phsycial contact with someone else. That's yet to be reproduced in any form. Or, should I say in any meaningfull form. That's when everything is going to change. Once we have that, thier will be no reason at all to leave the house. When you can hold someone you love who happens to be on the other side of the planet, and never leave your chiar, that's the future.

Not to say it's going to be an easy road. Thier will be pruits who say it's not quite the same. Probably the same people who still think that a vinel record sounds better than a CD. Fuck that, truley digital music sounds better than anything real. It's got this special sound to it. It's so, mmm perfect. I don't even like going to live showes now. It's not good enough.

Everything I take in has been canned, by others, or myself. Do I enjoy a mediaded life? The answer to that question may suprize. Yes, but I have to have full control of the media. I've become addicted to the machine, thier is no way out. Everything else is far too fake. It's too real for me to deal with at this point.

Am I really that attached to my screen? I'd have to be, maby it's sick, maby not. Who knows.

Some ladies who seem to be quite drunk have walked in, and taken notice of me. They are in thier early 30's, and act as if they havn't left thier teens. The first question that pops up is "Are you in a chat room?". Hmm, how basic. But still, that the question was poped is funny. Are computers that common place? It seems that everybody knows a little, ususaly enough to get into trouble, but not much more than that.

These two are a riot to watch. Walking around slowly so they don't fall over, talking to themsleves. Not to mention fogitiong what they are talking about in mid conversation. That's the best part, oh my are they loony.

They don't think I can hear them. That is so much fun, hmm. If I where the type, I could get laid. But, no. That's not my style. Takeing advantage of someone who isn't all there.

They comment on how fast I'm typing, but it's not that. I'm not typing all that fast, not really. Only around 30 wpm. Slow for me. Hmm, oh well. It takes me time to think sometimes. This is one of them. So many things, so much to think about. It's amazing.

The wait gave me a huge basket full of sugar. Nice, she must have heard of how I like my sugar. A bit of coffee in it ;) Heh, and I wonder why I don't sleep nights. No, that's not right. More so why I don't sleep till I fall over from over exaustion. That's the ticket. Am I that crazy?

I abuse my body, torture my soul. Do I have any redeaming values left? Hmm, well I'm still around, so I must. If one of the gods decided I was a problem, I'd be out of the picture.

I had christmas music going through my head today, happy stuff. But with a twist. Bad Religion did some remakes of favorite non secular christmas music. Quite fun to listen too, but gets stuck in your head just about as bad as the origonals. Hmm, at least it's totaly secular ;)

I have to work tommorow, at 11:00. Hmm, it's 2:30 now. I somehow doubt I'll be getting much sleep. Heh, do I really need it? Takes about 2-3 days for me to get really strange from lack of sleep. No big deal. I slept far to much today anyway.

It would appear the drunken ladies have forgotten about me. Possibly my constant pushing of buttons is causing them to think I'm a waterfall? Heh, probably not.

Heard the best thing recently. It was suggested I looked like a landscape. Black boots, cammo pants, and a purple shirt. Heh, all I need is a yellow hat. That would sure top the outfit off. One of the guys at work said that would be good, I agree fully.

I need to buy soap, the smelly kind. The kind that makes lots and lots of bubbles in the bath. The fun kind :) I used the last in the house today during my bath. Hmm, what flavor do I want this time?

They decided to take a look at my computer. Hmm, full screen mpegs sure do work to impress people. Only problem, is that I'm more so looking for girls about ten years younger. More around my age. Though I'm begining to wonder why it matters at all.

Little matters in life. You live, you die and at some point you will wear a digital watch. If not several.

They have left.

Finaly, I'm alone again. Well, not quite alone. But almost. Just me, the wait, and some guy who works at walmart. He hasn't said a single word during his time here. Just sits and smokes his cigar. I don't even know what he looks like. Hmm, other than far larger than myself. Though I'm a small guy, so just about everyone is much larger than me.

Oh, I'd like to tell you about something else that happended at work. One of the new guys is named "Thomas Patrick Conrey", how's that for odd? Now I'm not the only tom :( Danmit, that's one of the main reasons I was hired! Oh well, he ususaly goes by the name Pat anyway. He's a cool guy. He's got a sexy little thinkpad. Not all that fast, or that powerfull, but still. At least it has an active matrix screen. That's about all that really matters for some things.

I keep finding out cool features of BBEdit. Wow, such a simple little program, and it does so much. It sure doesn't suck.

I've been thinking about getting netscape 6, just to see what all the hype is about. Hmm, that's a thing that will have to wait for tommorow. I am so not getting that over dialup if I can avoid it. Yesh, some days I wondery why I bother to use napster over dialup. When it comes down to it, it is fast enough for that sort of thing. But barely. Heh, just like windows is usable, but barely.

Just being good enough isn't enough. For me, it has to be better than that mostly. Like my computers. MacOS is danm good, near god like even. At least in interface. That's what really matters to me right now. For stablity, and security I'd go unix all the way. But quite frankly the interface on that sucks. Heh, but it is quite easy to change to one's own whims.

I'm off to do some toying with ResEdit, later!
