the diary of antoine roquentin

I don’t know what’s going on today…I was going to take the bus home this morning (I slept over at Christen’s house), but it is raining like hell. Christen called in sick to work today…she’s sleeping in the loft bed above the computer.

I still feel really lost today. Someone’s selling a Palm TX on craigslist for only $150…if I had any spare money I’d pick it up, but I don’t. I had better buy an umbrella…it’s going to suck to walk to the bus stop in the rain on Monday.

I’ve been shopping around the web for 23-24″ displays, and they are all out of my price range ($800 or so). I’ve also been looking for another hosting company for my website. I only get 2GB of space on this host, and although they have been ultra-reliable, I am out of space and need more advanced features like PHP5 and WebDAV. The prospect I am most interested in is DreamHost, although they supposedly have a lot of downtime. I’ll switch for a month, and if I get any downtime, I’ll go right back to my old host.

Well, I guess I should go out into the living room and call my mom or something.

Me and Christen heard the fucking weirdest thing EVER on the AM radio at like 2:50 this morning. This guy was giving this list of all these weird coincidinces like twins feeling the other die, feeling like you’ve met someone before, etc…then he’s talking about being naked and the taboo about it…”they never feel like ‘whoa, I’m naked’…” and ends with “So these are some of the things to keep in mind if you ever see someone be abducted by a UFO.”

No freaking joke.

We went out to Lyon’s in East Sac and I had a Merlot and French toast…I wanted to invite Adrian but I had no way to get ahold of him. I kept trying to get ahold of him all day and it just didn’t work because his phone was dead.

I think he’s mad at me.

All the family left today and my grandma is leaving tomorrow at 3 a.m. for her week-long cruise to Panama…I’m going to have the whole place to myself.

I feel terribly lost lately…all I’ve been doing is transcoding my DVDs to MPEGs so that I can watch them on my computer. I’ve been ripping them and adding high-res cover art…I’m obsessed with cataloging things…maybe I should be a museum curator. Maybe I could work for archive.org or Wikipedia.

I’m at Christen’s right now…we’re talking. I should go. I wanted to go get tested tomorrow but that’s not going to happen.
