I didn’t do anything today. I fretted about my computer problems, but actually did solve one. I bought an external enclosure for the hard drive that I’m going to keep from my computer. I will be able to access all of my files from the new machine via USB. Also, I had a video chat with my mom and a bunch of my relatives… that was kind of cool. I suppose today wasn’t a total waste, even though I did stay home from my biology class.

I watched Chinatown tonight. I liked it, but I like pretty much anything Roman Polanski is involved with. For once, Jack Nicholson didn’t annoy me. It was very strange.

I had an instant message conversation with Thomas today. For the first five minutes of the conversation I thought he was Ben, but a quick Google search made me realize who that screen name belonged to. Thomas told me this story about how Jordan came up behind him while he was in Fred Meyer and whispered something obscene into his ear. How revolting! Jordan needs to be put into an asylum.

I’m totally bored with my life. Tomorrow I have to write that essay for cinema. I’m not looking forward to it at all. It will just be more mindless drivel. He didn’t give us an opportunity to form views on the film before he pounded his in for 20 minutes.

Well, long story short, Thomas has a crush on me. I chose the most puerile word possible to describe it because I don’t want to confront reality. Sex with a new person is always such a performance. It’s like this terribly botched play where the audience arrives during a pre-rehearsal. There’s no time to prepare… to discover what things the other person likes so that it goes smoothly. I hate how… scientific sex has gotten. You need the perfect amount of lubricants and latex and you have to be perfectly in control of what’s going on or you can die. Personally, I have more fun masturbating because there is little to no risk of death involved.

I’m curious about the denouement of this Thomas situation. The opening acts haven’t exactly been riveting, so we will see. I’m still trying to decide whether to buy an iPod dock or to do this hack where you can install one in your desk. I would have to sort of destroy the USB cable that came with my iPod for the homemade dock though, and I’m not really willing to do that.

Waiting for my new computer infuriates me. I suppose I could be doing homework right now, but my current excuse is being sick. Christ. I’ve been up since 11 p.m. yesterday. I need to go to sleep, but I promised Thomas I would call him tonight. If I’m going to actually go through with meeting him, I guess I could at least call him. I’m doing that and then it’s off to bed.

Today I decided that my web site needed a breath of fresh air. Maybe it’s because I’m sick and have nothing better to do, but I redesigned the splash page. check it out. (If it looks the same, you need to clear your browser’s cache.) I might redesign the whole site to look like that. I was going for something Google and Web 2.0-esque. Something very clean, white, and Helvetica. I’m very scared about ditching the black background, but I feel I need to move forward. The black background was so 2004. And if I am to go jobhunting, I would like something that looks mildly professional.

Well, drop me a line if you like the redesign. Whoa. That rhymed. The sun is up now, so I think I’m going to take a shower. I still haven’t decided whether I’m going to my class. I know that I shouldn’t because I need to stay at home and rest up and not get any worse. *sniffle*
