...let's at least only say true things.
i read that recently in a post talking about david foster wallace's death. i wonder how long it will be until there is a made for tv movie about his life/death? *shrug*
so while my software is churning through months of data, i've decided to post a few things that are on my mind. in no particular order:
sarah palin. first to get the guy stuff out of the way -- yes, i've seen photos of her that make me think -- woot, a hottie in the whitehouse. then some less flattering ones that... well, makes her more normal like the rest of us. i think mccain made a bold choice in selecting her and it improves his chances of winning. i don't agree with all of their politics, but i'm still struggling to find a good reason to vote for obama. his choice of biden makes me yawn. for a guy that says he wants "change", he sure did make an old-school pick. if he wanted change, maybe he should have picked palin. a dem with a republican running mate -- that is change.
it comes and goes --- i find myself late at night and sometimes for most of the day feeling nervous. you know... the sort of uneasiness you feel before taking a big test, starting a new job, .... but the problem is -- none of that is in play. it lasted for a couple weeks before just disappearing a month or so ago. it has returned recently. i chalked last night's episode to the uncertainty of purchasing a new vehicle. which we did. since the previous vehicle was given back, there is really no additional financial commitment aside from time. so logically i had nothing to be nervous about.
eastward bound. well, at least mentally. as i tell a friend of mine back east, i check the market periodically but there really doesn't seem to be much happening back east for a geek like me to do -- and remain paid a reasonable sum. while it is typically when i'm frustrated here, i find myself increasingly thinking about a move. it's not to get out of california -- i like it here. and a certain part of me finds it ironic that i'd consider moving back to the area my parents lived now that their gone. wouldn't a "good son" have been thinking about that while they were alive? does my mind think there is comfort to be found there? i do have a couple good friends back there with whom i could stand to spend more time with. or am i clinging to the past?
the new taco bell tacos are tasty!
so i'm watching the first episode of house last night... and the eff'ing dvr chopped off the last minute or so. gah! regardless, i think we've got another fine season of house in front of us. hugh laury rocks! hoping boston legal starts up. ooooo, and dexter.
i'm looking forward to david cooke's first album. hoping john mayer's latest will go on sale so my cheap ass will buy it. wanting to find gavin rossdale's new album. am in a bit of a music kick again, which is always dangerous.
too many things that could be done. no motivation to much of anything. to tired to even be frustrated. my mind could really use some downtime.
