• Feelin' pleased as punch today. Peachy keen. I'm the bees' knees. :D
• Guess what I got my grubby little paws on over the weekend? The new Apple Keyboard!!!
• I'm in love with my new keyboard, so much so that it definitely deserves its own post. :P
• Latest instance of synchronicity? WordPress... the blogging service. Of course it's been around for ages, so it's hardly a meme. But for some reason it's been hitting me on all fronts lately. What does that mean?
• Things I can't get out of my head? Tom Wilkinson's line from the "Michael Clayton" movie trailer starring George Clooney, "I am Shiva god of death." Beautiful delivery. Also a tiny lyric from Björk's "Vertebrae By Vertebrae" on the recent "Volta" album, "She came here to lose face."
• My sleep schedule is spiraling out of control, I believe I'm an actual victim of insomnia? Probably not. I don't consider it serious, and it's not a hindrance. I've always had a wacky sleep schedule... but there's something about this new one... I can't quite put my finger on it.
• I'm dying to own "Zodiac" on DVD, but I recently learned that they're going to release a 2-disc Director's Cut of the film on DVD in 2008. I don't plan on enjoying the wait. :P But I suppose it'll make the acquisition all the sweeter. ;)
• I'm finding the release of different DVD versions to be a real pain.
• I've been deciding whether to buy the recent 2-disc release of "Silence Of The Lambs", or get the Criterion version instead. I know where I can get a pristine copy of the Criterion, which includes audio commentary from Demme, Hopkins and Foster... but the visual digital transfer is horrid compared to the latest release. :( Decisions, decisions...
• I really wish Criterion would release more Wong Kar-Wai films...
• I'd fuckin' die if they ever released Criterion versions of "Days Of Being Wild" and "2046". OMG! Better yet, a set that included them along with "In The Mood For Love". *faints* *sigh* A guy can dream can't he? :P
• "Metroid Prime: Corruption" is going to be released at the end of the month for the Nintendo Wii, but I don't think I'm gonna swing it. I'm not sure. The replay value of the Primes seems minimal. I've had a hankering for some DVD purchases. Grrr! I wish I had unlimited funds. But don't we all? :P It'll all boil down to the reviews I suppose.
  
• I'm not all that hungry today... haven't been for the last few. Which I find very odd. I'm usually a glutton, but I've lost my appetite... I've only been eating because I know I should/have to. *shrug*
• I wonder when I'm going to look into sprucing up my Blogger page. My supposed tech-illiterate sister totally has her Blogger page pimped out. She's hyperlinking all over the place. She's got widgets, directories, etc. I'm so ashamed. :( ;)
• I'm wearing my oxfords today. Just thought I'd throw that out there. ;)
• I looove leather. And patent leather is a favorite... or at least one of 'em. :D
• I am Agni, god of fire! I am consumption. I am desire. I am want. I am need.
• I want those antique Corcoran Jump Boots, I need them!... now talk about sexy leather. ;)
• I think there are talks of putting an air-conditioner in my room. Despite my hatred for Summer and its whore heat, I much more hate the idea of consuming more power than I already do. I'm a power consumption conscious freak. Turn off your lights! :P
• I need to set up my website. If only to temporarily use it as a photo dump site. I don't feel right about using other online services like PhotoBucket or Flickr for this specific instance. Especially not Flickr 'cause I'm thinking of using the site more for miscellaneous images... Flickr needs to maintain a more coherent album feel. I have a domain and the space... I just need to get crack-a-lacking with my "HTML & XHMTL..." book.
• I need to pee.
• I had root beer today.
• Oh my god, I had the most amazing shake you will ever have. Well maybe that's a bit much, but it's definitely one of the best. I hightly suggest you order the Oreo Cookie Shake the next time you're at Applebees (by the way, I hate all those "types" of restaurants).. christ was that good! You know it's something special when you're still thinking about it days later. :P
• You know what I've had a craving for for the longest time now? Raw Brazil Nuts from Trader Joe's. *smacks lips* Mmmm... I can taste them now. I wish there was a Joe's close by. :(
• I feel no guilt whatsoever about making this such a long post. Why? 'Cause I love typing on my new keyboard, duh! :P
• I've a few movies in my possession that I need to watch. I rented "Pan's Labyrinth", "Little Children", "High And Low" and "Red Beard". Not a bad selection, huh? :D
• I peed. Not my pants, I went to the bathroom. ;)
• While I was in the bathroom, I was thinking about editing. As it pertains to my earlier posts... I have this vision of what my earlier posts should've been like and how, if I had the chance (which I do), would I remake them. Then I started thinking about the danger of Revision & The Artist. I'm not a fan of revision. I'm much more a proponent of pre-drafting, drafting and perfecting. An evolution instead of a complete erasure of earlier work.
• Listenin' to PJ Harvey... while I wouldn't consider her one of the greatest artists of our time, she's really fuckin' talented. Just read what I wrote, that sounds a bit harsh. I mean to say that her art isn't as grand, as "mythic" as the truly great. Still, she's a fuckin' awesome artist... one of the best around.
• I'm totally suffering from a lack of digital media. I've exhausted all of my feeds... text, audio and video. I don't want to add to them just yet... I suppose I should watch a movie but I don't want to force it. Well I suppose I wouldn't, I do feel in the mood. Maybe I will.
• I need to watch an online documentary, maybe I'll do that. Oh, I think I most definitely will... I just went to check out the link so I could get the title and the first few seconds just got me in the mood. :P I believe it's called "Guys And Dolls" (that could just be the title the poster chose) and you can find it on Google Video. It was mentioned on The Howard Stern Show and it explores the secret lives of men who collect, love and obsess over Real Dolls (expensive, realistic, full-sized, hand-made love dolls).
• I'm having one of those surreal online revelations. Just this idea of connectedness that strikes me now and again. I'm exchanging messages with this guy from Slovakia of all places... can you imagine? It's pretty wild when you think about it. For some reason, I always bring to mind the idea of my ancestors trying to accomplish the same task... and it's impossible. It's amazing how far we've come. How convenient things are. How advanced. And sadly, how it's all taken for granted. I frequently have these moments of revelation and often wonder if I'm alone in that respect.
• As usual, I could go on and on about what's going on in my head... but that's the province of the few and privileged, or tortured... depending on your perspective. ;) :P
• Goodnight you little fish.

DS333, happy.
