Look with your eyes, not with your hands.


Such a minute fraction of this life do we live: so much is sleep, tooth-brushing, waiting for mail, for metamorphosis, for those sudden moments of incandescence: unexpected, but once one knows them, one can live life in the light of their past and the hope of their future.

you can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em.

It's a double edged sword you know, between wanting a day all to yourself to all too quickly lapsing into a sense of self-chosen solitary confinement. For the last five hours I've paced between the TV and the kitchen for more seltzer, or alternatively from the TV to the bathroom on account of aforementioned seltzer. I slept too late and I was too unproductive, lazy, and shut in today. Not to complain too much, but the interesting and motivated sectors of my brain are yearning to be tickled and sadly, not a michevious finger in sight.

For fun, you need to go to the Remote Lounge picture page and look at my friends and I on 8/16. We're featured on pages 6 thru 13. Yoshi has great expressions and you can watch John talk to some fat girls and talk them into giving him cigarettes. It's cool to see though and I need to go back there this week...

I am just a waste - couldn't wrap my mind around a book if I wanted to, and hell, I even have the Sunday Style page to read and I don't even feel like that. Nurse, bring a thermometer, this is serious.

Being truly idle is such a dangerous thing, I don't reccommend it, and even more so, I don't reccommend talking about it in a way that makes it impossible to think about anything else.

Meanwhile in the make believe world of Sex and the City - the office space guy as Carrie's new beau? Well, he seems a little too boring for her, and like Aiden, she'd probably screw this one up too. I am glad that Charlotte finally got her post-divorce fuck, but where did that come from? For three episodes her desperation was at the center and all of a sudden she has someone, those writers neglect and misinterpret her sometimes. I am glad that Miranda finally accepts her role as a mother too, it is one of those things and it was foolish to keep pretending otherwise. Another thing - last week (from what I hear, I missed it) but, seemed to focus on her weight problem and this week didn't address that. You wonder what the lag time between episodes is suppose to be. Look at me, arguing the reality of a show that is most certainly NOT reality TV. Oh Jesus, someone help me.
