• I've sent my wish and Amazon Claus has received it. Come March 9th, I will own Super Smash Bros. Brawl. :P :D I'm far too excited. ;)

• One of life's little pleasures? Forgetting and then remembering, at the most opportune moment, that you've an iced espresso chilling in the fridge. I love life. :D
• People are sick. Literally. I think I may have caught a bug while I was out yesterday. People are too diseased to associate with in person. :P I need an automaton of myself that I can control remotely. *dreamful sigh*
• I finished watching the 7-episode run of ABC's Cashmere Mafia. Oh how I wish the WGA strike never struck. I want my appointment television!
• *gasp* I forgot to record Survivor yesterday.
• The weather's been so fucking beautiful in L.A. Yesterday and today were days to die. A Californian dream. The Sun. The warmth. The breeze. It's all been so perfect.
• I need to do more sketches. I wanna bemoan that fact, but then I remember how much I love it. I need to sketch.

The One That Got Away

I'm making this post from Narcissus (my iPod touch) while I'm out and about so I don't have to do it when I get back to homebase. I've always wanted to do this, unfortunately I couldn't do it straight from Blogger. :(

So I'm at The Grove about to meet a friend of mine at the Apple Store so I could get my first look at the new MacBook Air. I was a little early and he's running a little late. Since I had the time I thought that I would spend some time at Banana Republic, which HAS to be my absolute favorite clothier in the world... at least when it comes to mass consumption retailers. Anyway I stopped in to browse, just browse. Of course that's not all that happened. I fell into the trap of trying something on. That's my Kryptonite. I was totally and utterly undone. The beauty of this jacket was too much to take in. We were made for eachother! It's perfect and fits like a glove. I'm in love. *swoon*

I'm back home now and I'm so tired that I can't go on with this post... but that's not much of a loss. I only wanted to lament on the passing of friends I'll never know. I've seen and tried on so many things that I've had to give up. I've never forgotten them. I can see them, can still feel them. Today I've added another to the list. Oh how I want that jacket.


DS333, longing.


p.s. The MacBook Air was beautiful... but ultimately too flawed. Very sleek, but not very functional. A eunuch with the body of an Adonis... Sexy as all hell and just as useless. :P

Geek Love, Automaton Hate

I love Geeks. I had this thought floating around my head the other day, this question... Why do I love geeks so much? What's the attraction? And like most questions I have, I think there are many answers. There's more than one facet to this love. But there's one that I think shines brighter than all the rest. I'm most attracted to passion. Geeks have a love of life. Granted, for the most part it's a focused love. There's one aspect of life, technology, that they're most consumed with. But that's at least something. Most people have nothing. Most people are boring. Most people aren't moved by the wonders of the world. Most people are zombies, they're not alive in the way that Geeks are. I don't know why life would be worth living if you didn't have something you were passionate about. Geeks are interesting people. There's a fire there, a spark there... an electricity. They're artists, visionaries. And so really, I'm not talking just about technologists. You needn't be into tech to be considered a Geek. You just need passion. An appreciation for those things that others can't see or tap into. You'd be hard-pressed to find a Geek who says their bored. If anything, there's too much for them to take in. Not enough time and more than enough love to go around. So I always find it funny when that word gets thrown around in a derogatory fashion. Consider the alternative. Being lifeless. Being boring. Being an automaton. I hate Automatons.
