• I had a wacky sleep schedule today, so I've been a bit out of sorts.
• Had to get up early to meet a Building Inspector, who I thought was going to conduct an examination but only wound up setting an appointment for next week.
• Did some laundry today. Which I sometimes enjoy, but found it somewhat annoying today. Must've been the whole sleep thing.
• Thank the maker! The next few days are expected to be a respite of sorts from this horrible Summer heat. Today was actually enjoyable! :D
• I got into a little tussle with a couple of folks in a blog comment thread. Which isn't at all like me. But given my whole "community experiment" I thought I'd try my best to experience the most of that world. They were assholes, and I called them on their asshole-ity. One of them told me to die. All in all, a positive experience. ;)
• I met this really cool Swiss guy over the last few days, and again I was truck by the enormity of our digital revolution. I've been a seriously active member on the Net since I was 16, and nine years later I'm still in awe of the ease in which we can communicate with people the world over. And it's not as though the concept is so foreign to me. I've grown up in L.A. my entire life, so the new and the modern is nothing unusual... but even still, I get struck now and again by the... mysticism of technology. It's amazing stuff. And they're amazing people out there using it to connect with one another. Amazing! ;)
• I fully seeded Tori's Paris, France show from June 2nd, which means I finally got down to converting the files to mp3 and adding them to my iTunes library. I'm listening to the show right now as a matter of fact, and it's just as amazing as the Florence, Italy show. I'm in looove with this new live version of "Garlands". It's one of the most beautiful songs of all-time. *swoon* :P
• Speaking of great tunes, I bought a few track from the iTunes Store the other day. Most of them... uh, well... actually all of 'em were recommendations of sorts from "The Howard Stern Show". Never let it be said that that man doesn't have great musical taste. So I got Joan Baez's cover of "Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You"... so heart wrenching. Amy Winehouse's "Rehab" is such a slick take on the Motown sound. I also picked up the acoustic version of The Plain White T's "Hey There Delilah". And finally two tracks from Tommy James And The Shondells: "Hanky Panky" and "Crimson And Clover". :D
• I finally got around to filling out more of my profile at Last.fm, and I've even begun making a concerted effort to participate in their forums and such. ;)
• I shaved my head yesterday... which by the way probably sounds more extreme than it should. I'm not bald per se, I forget what number cut it is... but I've got a tiny bit of length. Anyway, it's kinda frustrating that I've a few stray hairs that sorta dodged the razor's edge. :P I hate when that happens. ;)
• I wore a shirt sans undershirt today. I hate when that happens as well. :P Luckily it wasn't very noticeable. Actually, not noticeable at all. But still, the fact that I know what's going on is enough to make it "unacceptable". :P
• I'm so excited about seeing the remake of Rob Zombie's Halloween. It comes out next Friday!!! :D
• Nothing makes me quite as happy as seeing new blog posts via Google Reader. I get so excited when I see that little number enclosed in parantheses in my FireFox tab. :D
• Listening to "Garlands 06/02/07" - Tori Amos (American Doll Posse World Tour 2007)
• The other day I met this guy at the bus stop whose faith in humanity and civility was reaffirmed when he found the bag he left there unharmed. I felt quite happy about that. :)
• I found $6 on the street the other day, but walked right past it. I wonder if its owner ever came back for it, or even found out that it was missing. Whoever wound up taking it... I wonder how it was used?
• My back's kinda hurtin'... maybe I should call it a night.
• Goodnight all you little Net Critters. ;)

DS333, pondering.
