Last time I was at the store I picked up one of my favorite films, The Talented Mr. Ripley. I am absolutely enamored with Ripley’s character and his interaction with Dickie’s character, partly because it reminds me of a pseudo-relationship I had in high school, mostly because I can identify SO much with Ripley and his desire to become the beautiful and affluent Dickie. And I love that it’s a period piece.
I watched the special feature with the interviews with the cast and director and such, and Patrick has definitely gained über coolness points, since he owns a Vespa.
I love my computer, I can blog and watch movies simultaneously. I’m trying to write a story, I don’t think it’s going to happen. Must stop watching his movie, but I simply love it. Oh crap, I have class Monday, I should read my creative writing chapter. Maybe that will get me in the mood.

I tried to install Linux on my machine and make it a dual-boot system. So I was bored. Well, I fucked up my partition table and had to re-install Windows and reinstall all my programs. But at least I finished that retarded Erewhon book before I was done. And at least it left all my other partitions alone, so I didn’t have to copy any music or anything on. But it was still a big waste of time and I lost all my e-mail that I got since the 19th. Oh well. I need to write a story tonight. That is my one mission. I should install OpenOffice and get to work.

I went jogging today and while I was looking for my mp3 player I found my digital camera and finally downloaded a bunch of pics from it. Here’s some pics from the night me and Joe and Casey hung out:

I just watched the trailer for the new movie to be based on the Philip K. Dick book A Scanner Darkly and it looks SO fucking cool. If you’re on broadband, here’s the link to the trailer:

It uses quicktime.
But yeah, I slept for seventeen hours last night. I know that isn’t in any way normal. Hmm. Oh well. I’m determined to finish Erewhon, Samantha’s favorite book. I just can’t help but think after reading this novel that she’s shallow, no matter how smart she is. I bet she really identified with the narrator with his Social Darwinist “Christianize the savages” bullshit. I am DROOLING to start Marshall McLuhan’s Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man, so I want to get rid of this Erewhon shitfest today.

I’ve been working a lot on my story. All the action is on my fiction blog. I somehow haven’t been on Trillian all night long, I might have missed Patrick. I really really really enjoy talking to him, I don’t know why. Probably because one of my best friends is moving away and I won’t have anyone cool to talk to in Del Norte County any more, so I’m desparately seeking cool people online.
Another reason I look forward to talking with him, I suppose, is that I have to have at least ersatz relationship possibilities. I get so depressed thinking that the only friend I’ll have until 2006 will be Josh. I’d comment on that, but I’m not sure whether he reads this.
We’re supposed to go to Ashland tomorrow, he has to go on some trip for work, and I suppose he doesn’t want to go alone. I don’t really feel like it. I think I’ll tell him no tomorrow. I have to read two chapters for creative writing. I guess I should start that instead of Marshall McLuhan. :( Fuck. I need to go to sleep.
