Fresh from Garageband: my aunt’s struggles with herself (and the pharmaceutical industry), Kelly and the move, Jeff and Strangers with Candy, a possible date, computer evangelism, and of course, my indomitable iSight webcam.

My grandmother who owns a house that is worth a half-mil at least has decided to get KFC. She always gets KFC….I just don’t understand it.

They’re signing the lease on Kelly and Lacey and Christen’s expensive duplex right now.

There’s more going on, but I’m too exhausted to elaborate. I think I’ll make a podcast later tonight.

I spent $160 on my iSight webcam.

It was so worth it.

There’s this site full of gay mac users and we’ve been iChat A/V ing it up all night!

EEK!

I just got done. It’s 5:17 a.m.

One of the things that competely astounds me about this area is how many gay people there are. I get seven pages of MySpace results if I search for gay 18-27 year olds. And there are a hundred times more on gay.com…I haven’t even checked OutPersonals. And yet, I haven’t even started cruising. Most of these sites are geared to finding someone to fuck, and I am SO not into that. I like to know the people I have sex with. I mean, I’m no prude…I’m beyond easy, but still. I don’t want some lame hookup…I had enough of those in Crescent City.

Me and Christen are supposed to go to Club 21 on Wednesday, it’s the second-rate gay bar. I’m not old enough (yet) to get into Faces, the haute club…but I will be in five months. I just…know that I’m going to go to that bar and see a whole bunch of people to laugh at, but I know that my “perfect guy” or a fuck buddy that I would actually admit to sleeping with will not be among those at Club 21 or Faces. He would be here, in the warm silicon womb of the Web.

I just don’t have the stamina to look through fifty pages of MySpace profiles to find one guy I like. I guess I just don’t believe he exists. I’ll take some graphic design courses at the college. Maybe I’ll find him there.

Well, I’m off. Must meet Kelly at the Birdcage.

I woke up this morning and my Internet service was dead. I called the hotline and set up a time for a tech to show up, and now the service is back up and running (obviously). I guess I’ll cancel the appointment with the tech. I get INCREDIBLE upload/download speeds down here, at least twice what I got in Crescent City. Right now my torrents are going at 50kb/s upload. I could barely get 10kb/s upload in Crescent City.

I spent a bit of time on DDRfreak.com and I found a few locations around here. I decided on the Century 16 theatres over on Garfield. There were some bowling alleys (ick) and “family fun centers” (read: a bunch of bratty kids and attendants who think you’re a child molester). And I always used to play at a theatre…so how bad could it be? My orientation at the college is tomorrow at 1 p.m., and I’m going to set up a counseling session right after that. I really hope I don’t have to have official transcripts for this crap. It’ll take another week for those losers at CR to send me another copy, and I don’t want to wait that long to register.

I went foraging around Sacramento today, ostensibly to find the post office. It was only a few blocks away, but I needed cash so I went to my bank, and then saw some stores so I stopped at Wal-Mart (irony of ironies, I’m in a place where there are a million stores and I go to Wal-Mart) to pick up some toiletries. I must locate a Target that’s closer than the Birdcage (area around the Sunrise mall). I have a feeling I’m going to stop clarifying where all these places are very quickly…I hope it doesn’t dilute what I’m trying to say.

Anyway, I must say that I LOVE the street names around here. I’m a little obsessed with signs and typography, and the streets around here just have such a beautiful ring to them: Fair Oaks, Arden Way, Manzanita, Fulton Avenue, Marconi Avenue, Sunrise Boulevard, the Capital City Freeway, I’m just in love with all the sans-serif glory of this area. So needless to say, I enjoyed my little jaunt today.

After I got back I lounged around in the hammock in the back yard, enjoying the sun and listening to music on my iPod. I was in such a good mood today, I was singing along to every song in the car. I still am in a good mood. I’m halfway done with my application for the camera store that Becky works at. It is SO much more detailed than I ever imagined. The ‘Net was out, so I couldn’t finish a few parts of it.

Well, I think I need to blow off some steam (and get back to an activity that reminds me of happier times), It’s off to the Century 16. I really hope this isn’t the one that Taggart and I went to see Big Fish at. Ick. Kelly says that I should message him. I really don’t see the point.

Man, I have SO much stuff to talk about I can’t even stand it. I have like three weeks of pent-up blog posts exploding from my neurons. I’d better stop now or my brain is just going to explode.
