Monochromatic Outlook

It is pos­si­ble to show­er, shave, do laun­dry, write a cou­ple pages long­hand, get dressed, and make it to the oth­er side of town in two hours, if prop­er­ly motivated.

Hang­ing out at the Cat Club was fun. Did a lit­tle bit of danc­ing, enough to momen­tar­i­ly break the spell of dance­floora­pho­bia. Then went with K. to Union Square to see the lights and rode the Cable­car up to Fish­er­man’s Wharf just for the heck of it. I have my … Read the rest

What is it about Decem­ber that makes me want to dec­o­rate my apart­ment with Tiki God par­ty lights?

ALL AROUND THE APARTMENT.

Just to make it unchristmassy.

Maybe it’s a latent unre­solved resent­ment for years of that Jesus guy over­shad­ow­ing my birthday.

You know, at my first Christ­mas mass, I set my Mom’s hair on fire? Sur­prised that they did­n’t have me drowned right then.

I think it’s time for me to buy a ficus.… Read the rest

Got some new CDs yesterday:

Shango—Juno Reac­tor
Erotica—Madonna
Defend­ers of the Faith—Judas Priest

For me, get­ting music can be a lit­tle like some peo­ple describe buy­ing porn or con­doms. It’s OK if I have a few oth­er items, but even then I’m a lit­tle ner­vous about peo­ple see­ing what I have. Maybe it’s because I pride myself on my eclec­tic tastes, it just seems like if I go and buy some Madon­na or Judas Priest (hell, even Juno Reactor—his stuff … Read the rest

More stuff guar­an­teed not to make sense to many.

I have a resent­ment though: There’s that damn three-dig­it user num­ber. That only hap­pened because Rat Head­’s userlist was lost while I was on the East Coast and when I went through the whole signup pro­ce­dure again every­one else had already signed back up.

STILL pissed off that I end­ed up with a three-dig­it user number. =^)… Read the rest

I think I’ll ride my bike to the gym this morn­ing, despite the fact that it rained overnight and the roads are all wet. Kin­da wish­ing I had raingear for this, but maybe I can com­pro­mise and take an express bus or something.

Inter­est­ing­ly, I’m not sure that even an express bus or BART will actu­al­ly save me any time get­ting to the oth­er side of town. But it will keep my butt a lit­tle drier/less muddy.… Read the rest

I just sent this off to SGI via the web form. We’ll see if any­one gets back to me. I know I get more with hon­ey than vine­gar, but I’m a lit­tle angry that they can’t be both­ered to sell me some soft­ware or return my emails or phone calls.

With my RS/6000, all it took was one phone call to IBM. $50 and a fax to them declar­ing that I had legal­ly pur­chased my machine lat­er I … Read the rest

Atti­tude is everything.

I went to the kitchen not know­ing what to have for din­ner. Through my mind was run­ning the same old litany: “there’s noth­ing to eat in the house. What am I gonna have?” So I opened up the refrig­er­a­tor to rifle through and scrounge up some sort of meal. The litany went some­thing like this:

“Dar­nit, there’s noth­ing in here except some pre­made sal­ad in a bag, sev­er­al cups of rice left over from din­ner, some diet coke, … Read the rest
