Category: really old

Thursday:

Today, we got a new computer desk for this iMac I’ve been using for the past week while I’ve been
in Seattle. This marks an end of an era for iDallas.com (though, a short era) as I no longer have
to do these updates (and spend the rest of my computer time) in uncomfortable positions on the floor.
My knees will thank me over and over again, I’m sure, as will my aching backside. Join me today
in praising the good old computer desk. If you don’t have one for yourself, I suggest getting one.
There’s lots of different models to pick from, matching any budget or decor.

Wednesday:

I like the way sunlight shines through the trees just outside and comes in through the window
making patterns on the couch. I also like the way the clouds pass in front of the sun and then
continue on past, periodically weakening and strengthening its rays. It’s the little things
that happen again and again, day after day, that remind you that you are indeed alive.

The few days or week or so when it starts getting cold enough to mandate the use of the heater,
but still warm enough that it might get warm again at any moment is sort of frustrating. You sit
around, cold all the time, wanting it to be a little warmer, but not putting on the heat so you
can save that extra little bit of energy before the winter starts to kick in for real.
I don’t know if that little bit of extra energy is worth having cold hands all day, though.
Oh well. Maybe I’ll figure it out this year, so I don’t have to have cold hands next year.

Why don’t people just get over this whole Bill Clinton thing? Impeach him already! Or, don’t impeach
him already! There’s no need to drag it out for so long. I guess we do tend to drag everything out,
though. It’s so irritating to be a human sometimes. urgh.

Tuesday:

I sure am glad for the mad abundance of people in the world. There’s so many people that anything you can possibly
think of can have an audience. Even silly, useless web pages.

Sunday/Monday:
List Day:

eggplant, stirfry, heuvos rancheros, portabello mushrooms, sunshine with a light breeze,
young people with an agenda of their own, revolutionary thought, inspirational music, a
fiery moment alone between two lovers, an icy moment with a group of friends, an explosive idea that
tears your previous thought structures apart.

List Day:

ground beef, animal entrails, hotdogs, cow hormones, sunshine with a thick layer of smog,
apathetic young people, painful memories, regrettable actions, a tense moment with an opposing
force, a tense moment with an ally, an agonizing defeat that continues to destroy new thoughts
for weeks to come.

I went running yesterday. I used to be an ok runner just like 1 and a half years ago, and we
were only going to run 2.8 miles or so… piece of cake, right? Nope. It sorta sucked. I
don’t regret it now, but it was quite a run for my aging self. One interesting plus was
how my hearing was sort of fading in and out for awhile as walked back to the house. It
had a neat effect on the sounds of the cars going by in the street. I would have been better able to
enjoy it had I not had a sharp pain in my temples at the same time. Oh well, we can’t have
everything.

Hey. Look at this: idallas vs The Purple Monkey.

Saturday:

I saw Your Friends and Neighbors last night. It’s from a controversial director an it’s
all about sex and sexual relationships. It uses some interesting cinema devices that you
college film class fans will be able to analyze for hours. It’s also really good. The
director is known for first doing a movie called In the Company of Men, which was disturbing
in a bad way (in my opinion). I think Your Friends and Neighbors is leaps and bounds better
than his previous film. Don’t be swayed away from this one…

I was woken up by a police car that was hanging out on the street in front of the house.
It seemed to be conversing with another police person about the happenings in the area. It had
it’s lighs on, and the conversation was loud enough so that it could me made out through the closed
windows. Sorta weird. It went on for about 20 or 30 minutes, I think. That, along
with the Black Panthers for Beginners book I’m reading has really got me irked against the
police. fuckers
