01.99 - Run.Program<October>
Think what you may, no matter how boring your life is, no matter how mundane your everyday routine becomes, our solar system is screaming along a circular path in the Milky Way towards a future none of us has ever witnessed. And thats pretty exciting in a fucked up, you have no control of your destiny kind of way.
I Love the Unknown by Clem Snide. Great song. I heard that song for the first time at my university - Sarah came up to hang out and see Ben Folds on campus. And Clem Snide came up there, totally, well...unknown...to the entire crowd and I got home and downloaded some of his stuff immediately. Not because it was mind-blowingly great, but because it was totally original and honest.
New book by Chuck Palahniuk coming out. (I had to lean back to see some of his other book spines to spell his name correctly). I'm excited, but right now I count the book as one of many things I absolutely must buy right...fuckin'...now.
That list also includes a XBox 360, a flatscreen LCD television, a wireless router, a laptop, and a new desk.
My focus will remain on two much more important things.
T just turned on Grey's Anatomy for a fix. I pity her, but then I envy her that she isn't addicted to games like I am.
Today, a friend and coworker was inexplicably fired. She had worked at my company for a longer period of time than I have, and she was basically the breathing social center of the office. Its not even six hours after we found out and I already feel like a part of the office has died.
She sent an email this morning, trying to round up a bunch of people for happy hour tomorrow night. It may not be happy, but I hope she shows up and has one anyway.
October has arrived, and so far its too much like September to really make me appreciate it like I remember it. Maybe I like late October the best. I just want it to start getting just a bit on the chilly side...the sleeping is great in that kind of weather.
I came in second in fantasy baseball, which is a very big turn-around from last year's team. I benefitted from a lucky pickup of Prince Fielder at the bottom of the 1B pile during the draft. But the league was broken...much fixing to be done for next year. Things are not looking as good in the fantasy football league - I'm just a lonely duck in a flock of 2-2 teams.
That's about it.
