Brilliant

Something is wrong with me, definitely. Last week, after watching The Office Series 2, I bawled for, like, two hours.

Goodbyes suck

Today I had to say goodbye to some people at work who are moving to another location - people who I've seen every weekday for eight hours or more for two and a half years. We all swore we'd visit each other. One girl and I promised to do lunch some time but I know we probably never will. I'll miss them so much. Although we just exchange casual office banter most of the time, it'll feel really weird without them. I had to pack up my desk too, because we're moving to another floor. It's funny how when I first started working there I refused to put personal stuff in my desk. I always told myself it would be temporary. While packing my desk today, I found a sewing kit, toothpaste, about ten dollars worth of quarters and pennies and more stuff I've amassed over the years. I've settled in. On the train I read the part about Alex's dream about playing an instrument made of skin protruding from his belly about fifty times. I felt so bad that I went straight to the deli as soon as I got off. And now I'm eating Guacamole Doritos and a pint of Ben & Jerry's (none of that non-fat crap) and blogging. Best therapy there is.

Spinning your new 45's

It's time for my annual Hedwig obsession. I'm sort of in love with John Cameron Mitchell, a little bit. He does have some lovable qualities, only one of which is the fact that he directed an entire movie in three-inch heels. If you haven't seen the DVD yet, it's a must. Also, Wig in a Box The Songs from Hedwig and the Angry Inch was released last year. The Bens (Kweller, Lee and Folds) do Wicked Little Town and Cyndi Lauper does Midnight Radio plus many more (The Polyphonic Spree, The Breeders, Yoko Ono, Yo La Tengo, Sleater Kinney)!



In other news, HTML help needed. I can't get the damned scroll bar colors to change in frames. Help. Please.

Sounding it off in threes

1. Sunday night was fireworks night at Pleasantville. The fireworks show, the first in three years, was held in an enormous field right in front of a friend's house. Some people brought blankets or chairs. We sat on the bleachers and the fireworks were lit right in front of our faces. I had a blast.

2. Sometimes I feel like I let myself be carried with the tide too much. I've never made irrational decisions. All my big decisions have been carefully thought out in a logical process. I always put practicality above other factors. I don't think I've made a bad decision yet, at least in the point of view of, say, a board of directors managing a company. But sometimes, I feel like I'm missing out on something.

3. I think I'll listen to this song for the rest of the night
