Well. I don't generally get much feedback about this page. I hear occassionally from people I chat with things, which tells me some people do read it. But generally I don't really get any input. But boy, as soon as I posted about how I am not going to turn on my messengers any more because I want to be more productive, well I heard all about that. Several people joked around at the thought of me being productive, as if it were so terribly out of character and unimaginable as to be very comical. Well I have something to say to those people. Because I don't think they really understand what I'm about.
I spend a lot of time on my computer. I would say at least 70% of my free time. I work on my webpages, this one, other ones, other peopls webpages, new designs, scripts, writing, homework, and a very small percentage of that time is spent doing bullshit. Let's classify bullshit. Bullshit is that time you spend reading the Onion... or "surfing the web" looking for wacky shit... or talking to your friends about nothing... playing games... this is computer bullshitting. Personal life bullshitting is watching tv... watching movies (to a lesser extent)... drinking... hanging out with your friends doing nothing... playing games... etc. Two different settings, same old bullshit. Time not wasted, per se, but time not spent pursuing a useful goal, not producing anything, and not accomplishing anything outside the social realm.
I think most people spend the time they are at their computer doing bullshit. Forwarding jokes... sending people links... chatting... propagating web nonsense, the whole thing. I think these people make up the majority of people with computers. However there are still the rest of us. The rest of us are people that sit at a computer for a reason, to do something we find worthwhile. Of the 70-ish% of free time I spend on my computer, I spend about 70% of that time doing what I consider worthwhile, productive things. I work on stuff, I learn stuff, I create stuff, I revise stuff, I write things, I edit things, some things I keep, some things I toss, but my time is never wasted. I am willing to bet that by comparison, yours is. Because I haven't met very many people that do as much as I do.
So my question to those that would mock me for wanting to actually get shit done is, what the fuck have you done? I CAN'T not be productive. I can't just watch tv. I can't just sit around and bullshit all the time. That actually really bothers me. I hate doing nothing. If I'm not accomplishing something, I get annoyed. It's why I've pissed off so many of my boyfriends. I don't want to just hang out and do nothing every single day just so I can be with you. I have better shit to do, without a doubt. This is the way I'm wired. That is the kind of person that I am. If you feel in your own life that noone is productive, I challenge you to be someone that is. If you are so skeptical about ME being productive, it is probably because you don't do jack shit. I encourage each and every single reader I have to actually accomplish something important to you. What I accomplish might not be important at all, like all the designs I do here. But they're important to me, and that's all I give a damn about. You can mock me all you like and think that I don't do anything, but I will guarantee you that if we compared the things I've accomplished in my free time to what you've accomplished in yours, I will win. So you can pretty much fuck right off. Maybe you can't understand a need to be active and do things... that's fine for you. But don't judge me by your fucking pathetic standards, nor expect me to conform to your little ideas of how people are according to how you are. Because I will beat you every fucking time. Yep :)

I've realized another something my page is lacking is any kind of musical references. I guess music makes people seem real. So if I show you what I listen to, you will know me better, and I in turn will feel like I am better understood. That sounds maybe a bit silly, but I like Bright Eyes enough to copy all of his lyrics to a page and call it a music section. And so that's what I'm going to do. Tomorrow. Ranting and raving really takes it out of a person.

Boy, sometimes life just surprises the hell out of me. I had a really great day today. Didn't have to wake up early, didn't have anywhere to be till one. Had 3 classes... all of which were great. I really like every single one of my teachers that I have, I've sized up my classmates and they seem pretty alright, I'm interested in all of my classes, and altogether, I'm incredibly optimistic about this semester. Optimism... I guess it's kind of refreshing to feel like things are going to work out okay every once in a while. Of course I'm slightly hesitant because it all seems a little "too good", so I imagine my job will get really shitty to compensate for all the happiness I feel about school. BUT, I'm not doing that newsletter at my job any more, which was the crappy thing that pissed me off every day, so I think that's going to be alright too. "Write" now I have to "right" a script that I've already written that will do my work for me at work. I'm actually kind of excited about math because now that I've done a wee bit of scripting I've realized this algebra shit is actually going to help me be able to think about this stuff. So in my mind my algebra class has turned slightly into a computer class... and a computer class, I can pass. So I say bring that shit.
Mark this day... for on this day... I am happy. Here's a happy little picture to go with my happy little day wrapped up in my happy little life.

The second Lord of the Rings comes out on DVD tomorrow... Two Towers or whatever it's called. I have to go buy it because I forgot to see it in the theater. Right on.

Stamped out another little 00k-design for my thoughts section.
Here's a teaser (I like making teasers). I also like making logos that have my face in them. Self-absorbed much, 00k? Yep. Can you blame me? You would be self absorbed too if you were as cool as me. Yeah... go check out my thoughts section once you're done gagging.

Well luckily I didn't get enough sleep because my body is so poorly programmable. I swear... who the hell is in charge here? I have to wake up at 8:15 when I work. I've been working since May. My body thinks every day is work day. Luckily it doesn't wake me up at 8:15 all the time, because it knows that I know that that is too early. So it does know I don't have to work. But it also seems to think while I am not working, I should still be getting up fairly early, after not getting enough sleep. And so, every day I don't work, I wake up right around 9:30. I can usually get back to sleep. But if I get to thinking about anything I have to do at all... then I can't get back to sleep.
I think my body is punishing me for treating it so poorly. I mean... I never take it outside... I rarely give it vitamins or food that is good for it. I don't give it any exercise at all. I think it is probably just bitter... and trying to ruin everything for me. Well that's just wonderful. When the technology becomes available (and it will be soon I'm sure), I'm going to swap my brains memory out for some really hardcore flash memory. Then I'm going to program it to whenever the hell I want to wake up... and it can go straight to hell if it doesn't like that. Then to make sure it doesn't try anything funny... I'm going to knock myself out with a brick over the head. Take that, body! Shut up brain! Then all I will have to worry about will be this damn cold I have. Why do they call it a cold if you can get one in the summer? :( Yeah... whine... bitch... whine... bitch... sniffle.
At least I don't have to work tomorrow. I do have to go to school... but not until one. So I'm okay with that. Guess I should update my school section.
Oh yeah... my hair is all maroon again. It's about the same color it was last time... even though the color should've been pretty different. I may highlight it a bit to "mix things up".

I think I have the mind of a mediocre inventor tied with the impracticality of a Liberal Arts major. What a shame. Oh well... for my next invention:
I want a recorder that will accompany me everywhere I go, including into the shower. I want to be able to talk, and have it record whatever I say. I want it to also accept voice commands from me. So I will be chatting away, theorizing, brainstorming, making up bad jokes, doing whatever it is I do when I talk to myself, and then I want to say "Command Mode:" and give it a command like, "Read back last line", or "Delete last paragraph". It will do this by digitizing everything... recording it all then using one of those speech recognition programs to put it all down to a file it'd put to flash memory or something. Then every night I want to hook it up to my computer and see a log of everything I thought aloud for the day.
Basically I want a secretary I don't have to pay that will take perfect notes and accept all my commands without question. I don't really know if there's anything like this out there... but if there was I would use it. I would also have a lot more to say in my blog. All my really good thoughts and ideas come to me either while I'm in the shower, or while I'm in my car driving somewhere, but then I can never write them down. Those would be the times I would want to use this device.
I guess ideally I could implant something in my head so it could always hear my voice really clearly, and ignore background noise. That sounds like the kind of surgery that leaves a scar though. But I guess sometimes I might want to record something other than myself, like someone else, or a tv news broadcast, or whatever. I guess if anyone wanted to talk to me they would always have to say "Off the record" hehe. What'd be really cool is if it could record visual as well on my command. Then to conserve it's own memory, it would broadcast the images via satellite back to my computer at home which would have something running that would just wait around to receive video, and then it would record to my harddrive whatever the device sent so it wouldn't have to use it's own memory. That'd be sweet. Of course it raises privacy concerns... but that's for the people of the future to worry about.
Maybe we don't have the technology to do something like that today... and make it affordable. But my only hope for the future is that my children, or my childrens children, or somebodies damn children, will live to see my dreams come into fruition. Because that'd be so cool.

Saturday. Man do I love Saturdays. It's 10 in the morning. I got like 10 hours of sleep. I haven't taken a shower... my hair is a mess... I'm wearing a t-shirt, jean shorts that are about 3 sizes too big and go down to just above my knees, and black Scooby Doo christmas socks that go up to my knees. I'm drinking Code Red... my eyes are still blurry... and my life... well life doesn't get much better than this. Oh if only I could always dress as though noone was going to see me. I'd have so much more time... I'd probably write a book or something. I'd be enlightened. And probably some kind of hippie. I don't really support hippie-ism... but I do like the idea of shrugging off modern conventions of how a girl should look and act. I think chipped nailpolish should be considered classy. It's like saying "I'm a weary, weathered traveller, wise to the ways of the world.". But that's not what it says. Right now in this goddamn modern society with their microwaves and their drive thru windows and their popularity contest elections it says "I'm too damn lazy to give a shit what I look like". Man... why am I still talking about this?
I got my first credit card this week. That's right... 22 years old... 23 in a little over a month... and I just now got my first credit card. Being a student can actually be really damn cool. Credit card companies sure like students... I guess they want to start you off good and early on the road to eternal debt that you'll take right to the grave. Can't blame them. Cigarette companies would try to appeal to kids... knowing that they could get them hooked and have a customer for life. Credit card companies are the same. I'm just glad someone cares about me enough to notice me and try to take all my money.
I welcome debt though... I want to show everyone how well I can handle my finances after I'm in a big hole. My credit limit is $800... so I figure if I buy a really bigass tv I can spend that in a day and it'll make me really happy. Then every month I can set aside money from my paychecks to pay off the thing... because I know that's exactly what I'm going to want to do... keep paying for something I already have. Yeah... so that should be paid off in about 4 to 12 months. In the meantime, I can keep buying other things with money I don't have but PLAN on having, as I pay more money into the tv. This way we start the eternal cycle of spending. Hopefully my interest rate will get all ridiculous... I don't really understand how they do interest rates, I just know I hate interest. Maybe by the time I pay it off with the interest accumulated I will have been able to buy a boat or something. That'd be cool. I'm going to be so responsible it's going to HURT. Hell yeah. I mean not really. I'm going to buy my gas every month on credit and pay it off every month to build my credit. I am planning on buying a tv with a dvd player, but I already have the cash saved to back it up. And that's it. They're really going to wish they never took me in as a student... I'm perfectly unideal.
I guess I actually have things to do today... so I actually will have to get moving and get presentable and get some shit done. Ah, my dream, it could not last forever. Because we all must at some time wake up, whether we want to or not, to the harsh reality that is this existence. It is hard, but we will do it, and we will keep doing it, until the end of time. Because while we have troubles, and while we struggle, sometimes, with brief glimpses of our own insignificance patched with our own soaring sense of accomplishment upon tasks completed and obstacles conquered, we know what it is to be alive, and we live.
Oh I'm going to dye my hair again... this will be my relatively new color: Ruby Rush. Sounds yummy! Heh don't worry... I can punch myself for that one.

So many days later, so many stories to tell. But not right now. I'm just making a little note to the public right now. I've been online very rarely lately, and I've taken quite a liking to it. So I've decided to stop turning on all my messengers for the most part except to check messages or bullshit for a little while when *I* actually feel like it. I don't like leaving them on, because then I'm at the whim of every random contact I have that just "feels like chatting". I never get anything done when I'm talking to people, so I figure it's better to instead restrict my access, then when people do talk to me it's because they're going out of their way so they really must have something to say. My PR rep warned me against this course of action, so I fired her. (She was actually just another little voice in my head I told to shut the hell up). This might not be the best for all my little conversational based online-ish friendships, but it will be the best for my own productivity, and I'm a real productivity nazi, so I figure it's the better option. I'm tired of not getting done with all the stuff I want to get done. It's also right in line with me pissing off everyone I know by insulting them all with one swift blow.
But don't worry, readers, I always have, and I think I always will, really enjoy getting emails and writing emails. I like email because 1) You have a nice neat little record of your conversation which can be pretty handy and 2) It's not so chatty so people are forced to get to the point because they are unsure of how long you'll take to get back to them - they say what they want quicker. I wish the whole world would run on email. I don't want to ever have to call anyone or bullshit around to get anything. The world would be a better place, I'm quite sure, if we could all just stop using phones, and rely instead, strictly on the lines. Of course for this to be practical people would really need to get better about checking their email more often and more regularly. Oh well.
By the way folks that email address is (cut)... even though I know noone will email me, at least I'm not going to give anyone any excuse not to.

Hey baby. Long time no update. I'm not really updating now, because I don't actually have anything to say. Terminal is in town (from the zombeef main section), so we've been hanging out, and my duties here are forgotten. Whee! I will have lots of pictures to add soon.

I have a lot of time to think here, since there's so very little else to do. With some of this time I've decided to make a new section of zombeef reserved for my more serious thoughts on things, of a slightly higher rank than the day to day drivel I spout here. You can check it out here. I will make a more interesting design for it and link it from all the other pages when I get home.

Ah, Missouri. Funny place, this. The food is great. We drove like 30 minutes today to eat at some restaurant that's been around since the 1800's or something ridiculous. Their food was actually really good. The town has a population of 15 or something... but people drive there from all the surrounding area to eat their food. Everyone there was over fifty. They really emphasize eating out here, which is why I think everyone on average seems to be generally fatter than people in Colorado. That might not be true. But. It's too hot and muggy to do anything, so you just sit around in your A/C all day and get fat, then at night you drive all far to eat and get fat some more. I couldn't live out here, no chance. No Best Buy for like 30 miles, no cable internet, I'd never survive. But it is cool to visit.
All old people talk about is the weather, who died, who's related to who, what happened to who's kids, who grew up with who - who's kids are now where, who owns which store, who's been sick, how they've been sick, what food disagrees with them, what tv shows they like to watch, and where they like to eat. It's like there isn't a world outside this area. But they do talk about the outside world sometimes... and everyone just says "The worlds gone crazy". Both my grandpa's said that today both on totally separate occassions. Then they talk about how foreiners are coming in, crime is going up, and "this place is changing". The news is all about how some firemen saved a horse from being stuck in the mud, like 10 minutes of this, and some breast cancer walk-a-thon. Someone died yesterday, drowned, and it's all the buzz here. Of course we drove and looked at the lake the guy drowned in. It was a lake alright. Small towns are so silly.
The drive out here was actually okay. I remember from when I was a kid we used to drive out, and it'd be like a 12 hour drive in this Dodge Caravan with no A/C (mom couldn't spare the gas, hmph). It'd be me, my mom, and my brother stuffed in this van for what, when you're a kid, seems like forever. I dreaded it. At some point I got to where I couldn't read in the car any more, cuz I'd get carsick. Then I was screwed. You can only sleep so much. But this trip out we had the brilliant idea of listening to books on cd. That made all the difference. We listened to The Millionaires ($.13 on amazon) read by the bad guy from Ghost. He did a great job reading, it was a good story, and 6 hours flew by. So right on I say. I split the driving duties with my mom, and together it was not an unpleasant experience, except for when she was listening to the Kingston Trio when I was trying to sleep. That was totally uncalled for.
Anyhow, we made it in about 9 hours, which isn't too bad. The cool thing about coming out here is that my mom knows how boring it is and how much it sucks to come out here for me, so she spoils me while we're out here, and my grandma does too. It's all in all not so bad. I'll still be glad when I get back to my computer though.

I find myself saying something rather often. "It's a good thing I'm a good person, or...". I wonder, do good people really think of all the bad stuff they COULD do all the time? Or am I just semi-good, someone that realizes the bad they could do, but then chooses to do good? I wonder.
Comcast called the other day I guess, my ISP. I didn't call them back cuz I thought "what the hell important could they have to say that they haven't already mailed us?". Now I know what they wanted to say. They wanted to warn me how much they fucking suck. How their IPs aren't static, how your connection will go away regularly, and how there's nothing you can do about it because you know you're horribly addicted to cable internet. Mwahhaa. That's what their message SHOULD have said. Then I would've called them back.
I'm supposed to be packing for my trip right now. I'm putting it off though. Packing is so gay. I'd probably like it if I had a cool suitcase that had a bunch of compartments and stuff. Instead though I just have backpacks. Backpacks aren't fun to pack at all. You just shove all your shit in there and zip it up. There can be no organization. I'm tired. Maybe I will put off packing tonight so I can pack under pressure tomorrow and get it done faster. And forget a bunch of shit from hurrying. Tough call. It's a good thing I'm a good person, or...
The next time you hear from me I will be 615 miles misplaced. If I die on the motorway, I want my last blog words to be "Wow, I called that one!".

It's my last day of work before my little vacation off to see the grand-folk out in Missouri. I told all my friends I was going to be gone for a week, and they didn't say anything, because I don't have any friends. I have a lot to do. I should clean my room for when my brother rents it out for the week. I'm going to put snakes in my bed though... jokes on them!!! He's going to be in charge of my fish, so I think I'm going to take really good pictures of all of them before I go so I can compare when I get back and see if any of them are replacements. Who am I kidding, if any died he'd probably replace them with totally different looking fish. Oh let's be honest. I'm going to get home and I'm going to find all my fish just floating around at the top bumping off all the sides, and my brother is going to say that they didn't look hungry cuz they were just bumping around. Well, he has a dog, so their deaths need not go unavenged. Heh that was pretty bad. Joking about killing fish is funny... joking about killing dogs is psycho. And I love that dog. So okay... their deaths will go totally unavenged. Unless I can think of something else lousy to do to my brother. Which whaddaya know, I can!
Anywho, I'm taking a laptop on vacation, along with any other form of amusement I can think of, not to imply that Missouri is BORING AS HELL or anything. Nope. I'll still be doing zombeef updates... checking my email... more importantly I plan on doing a lot of scripting to write all the scripts I have thought of but haven't had time to do. So hopefully I'll be able to put them all into my scripts section... then people can come along and copy the code and steal it... but the jokes on them too because I suck at scripting.
We're going to be driving out to MO, (The Show Me State), which between me and my mother should take like 9 or 10 hours. The good news is she drives faster when she's pissed off so I have a few little topics I'm going to bring up to make us get better time. I'm going to tell her I got another tattoo, then I'm going to ask her to guess where. Then I'm going to tell her it's an upside down cross on my ass (but I won't say ass, she doesn't like cursing hehe). This should make her drive about 80 for a while. Then I'm going to tell her my theory about how Jesus smoked a lot of weed. I figure if she doesn't roll the car, we'll be making great time. I'm going to close by saying that in the future the only religion people will want will be from fortune cookies, and the only teachers we'll have will be robots that will be a lot better at teaching than any other teacher has ever been (she's a teacher). I figure that'll be enough to cover the time while she's driving. If not, maybe I'll say I got an abortion when I was 18 or something hehe. Anywho, once we actually get there, she'll probably hate me. Then I'm going to say "Don't worry mom, it was all a big joke to piss you off so much you drove faster!!", and we will both laugh... and laugh...
I had a dream I was wondering around this huge college looking for these four rooms I had classes in. I kept finding all these other class numbers but I couldn't find mine. So I was getting really frustrated. What a boring dream. Maybe I'm scared of getting lost come August 25th when I start school again. You'd have to be a real moron to get lost in my college.

My commentless void. I have Asteroids in the game section over there. I play it almost every day, but not ever for REAL long. Anyways. My highest score is 4475, which I'm told is pretty lousy by the fact terminal almost doubled that on his first try. Life just isn't fair.
You know how you hear about someone getting bit by a spider, and then the bite grows and grows until one day all these spider babies just explode out of their arm or leg or whatever? I don't know if that's true or not, but that's going to happen to me. I got bit by something a few weeks ago. It doesn't itch, but it is a red mark. Anyways, I thought it went away. But then one day it was really bright red in this tiny little circle. Weird. Today there's a red space around it the size of a nickle and it's slightly bulging. I'm just going to assume that something is living in there because that would be the worst thing I could imagine. Worse than cancer. My arm has been impregnated. If it gets any bigger, I'm just going to slash the whole thing with an exacto or something. I can't handle the thought of spiders even walking across me when I sleep... I think if a bunch of baby spiders exloded out of my arm and went everywhere I would die. Or if I lived, I wouldn't be able to sleep ever again. So I figure I'm better off with a big nasty gash on my arm and a lot of tiny baby spider corpses everywhere than any of my other options. That way I'M in CONTROL OF MY DESTINY! I don't have insurance so I'm sure as hell not going to be seeing any doctors about it. Man... I'm getting sick thinking about it. I have to talk about something else now.
My friend has a friend that had a spider make a nest in his ear. He had been drinking a lot I guess and just went to bed and passed out. So then he woke up however many hours later, and he said it felt like he had water in his ear which was weird because he hadn't been swimming. So I guess he spent some time shaking his head and doing whatever people do to get water out of their ears. Then finally he gets a q-tip and sticks it in there and finds out there's a dead spider in there. Oh my god I really have to talk about something else now. I dunno how you can ever sleep again after that. That's so uncool. I think I'm going to throw up now.

Federal Injustice System
SHERMAN AUSTIN SENTENCED TO ONE YEAR IN FEDERAL PRISON
Sherman Austin, webmaster of RaisetheFist.com, was sentenced today,
August 4, 2003, to one year in federal prison, with three years of
probation. Judge Wilson shocked the courtroom when he went against the
recommendation of not only the prosecution, but the FBI and the Justice
Department, who had asked that Austin be sentenced to 4 months in
prison, and 4 months in a half-way house, with 3 years of probation.
Austin's probation stipulates, among other things, that (1) he cannot
possess or access a computer of any kind without prior approval of his
probation officer, (2) if his probation officer gives permission, the
equipment is subject to monitoring and is subject to search and seizure
at any time, without notice, (3) he cannot alter any of the software or
hardware on any computer he uses, (4) he must surrender his phone, DSL,
electric, and satellite bills, (5) he cannot associate with any person
or group that seeks to change the government in any way (be that
environmental, social justice, political, economic, etc.), and (6) he
must pay over $2,000 in fines and restitution. Austin must surrender
himself to the Federal Bureau of Prisons by September 3, 2003.

Oh god why me. Or rather... today was pretty uneventful. I registered for school. I paid $80 for some shitty geography book. Man... that's like all I remember. Oh, I set my work schedule for after school starts. Going from 30 hours a week down to seventeen. That'll be good... I don't like my job. Having money is cool... but working at my job sucks more than having money rules. Such is the eternal struggle of the inexperienced kicked-around halfway-thru-college student. I have to work harder than I'd work at a better paying job for less money doing a job I'm overqualified for but lack job experience with, until I can get a degree and get job experience and get a real job and make real money and not have to work as hard. I have it comparably incredibly easy, which I think is funny when I bitch about how I hate my job. It's like that saying, "I cried when I had no shoes, but then I met a man with no feet.". I always thought that was a funny saying. I mean... where'd his feet go? I gotta laugh... having no feet would suck so bad. That's really funny. And I'm really tired.

I have to register for school tomorrow. Start back up again on the 25th of this month. Full time school. Back in the game I guess. I kind of screwed up a bit this summer, ended up dropping my English and Math classes, so I get to take those this next semester in addition to Geography and Web Scripting.
I guess I'm looking forward to it. I like school most of the time. I don't have anything against learning... I guess the only problem I've ever had with school is having to do shit that was easy. That really pisses me off. I hate wasting time learning stuff I already know about. Luckily I think all my classes should be relatively challenging. Intro classes really are a bitch. Sadly I still have more intro classes to do. I have to take Intro to the Internet, which is really going to suck. I don't imagine I'm going to get too much out of that one. Only one credit hour luckily. I also have to take Intro to Sociology. That'll be okay, because I don't know shit about sociology so it should be new stuff to me. Then I guess my last intro class is Programming Fundamentals... that has the potential to be pretty lame. But I hope not. I'm fairly optimistic about that one.
It's not that I KNOW so much, that I am just SO advanced or something. It's just that all the intro classes are SO introductory. In Intro to XP, the most complicated thing we learned about, that was at the very very end of the book, was how to customize Internet Explorer. That's just sad. I wish there were classes between intro and advanced for people that had experience but hadn't taken any classes. That'd be nice. I don't want to hear how the Windows registry is a mystical magical place that once you go into it, your computer can never return. Oh well I guess. Maybe in the future. When I'm far, far away from caring about school.

Well... I went back up to my aunt and uncles cabin today. The fort remains unbuilt. We did however find a good place to put it. I did some sawing... it turns out sawing little trees and branches is pretty fun. I like the idea of being able to just saw off the limbs of living organisms. Why does everyone look at me like I'm crazy when I say that?
Anyway, I've made us up a work schedule:
August 03' - July 04' : Build cool fort
July 04' : Add laser security system, guard towers with armed guards, more miscellaneous lasers because they're cool, and a pop machine
August 04' : Move in to fort, start cult, claim land in the name of Sarah, THOSE WHO DO NOT JOIN WILL DIE
August 04' : Add carpeting
It still needs some revising.
Estes Park is also too far away... so I'm working on a plan to bring either warping technology or transporting technology from the set of Star Trek to the set of Sarah Trek. But you know how things are... there will probably be loads of paperwork for me to fill out before any of that can happen. I swear, sometimes I don't even know why I do it. But then I think of all the poor children without tv... and somehow... I forage on.

Captains log... star date 87429866634004.457. I had a good day at work... not busy. A few troubles... it's hard to be reliable when other people you depend on aren't. A good life is one where you don't have to rely on anyone else for anything. And where you can just punch unreliable people in the head and then not have to deal with them any more. Traffic was standard bad. Approximately 10 minutes of wasted time. Went to the post office after work... got a haircut - just a trim. Watched a movie with my mom. Took the videos back to Blockbuster. Came home. Updated some webpages. I lead a simple life. I just might be the happiest person you'll ever know. But you wouldn't know that unless I told you. I think if everyone knew how little I cared about most things, and how funny I think most things are, they probably wouldn't ever talk to me again. That's a shame. For them I mean.
Great movie. Great movie. See it. See it. Great movie. Watch it. What the hell else are you so busy watching?
I don't know how to write positive reviews for things. I never have anything nice to say about anything. Just rent it. Watch it. Enjoy the story. Enjoy the timely controversy over rape, and the death penalty. Think about it... try to figure it out before the end. Be mislead, suspect who you're supposed to suspect, then suspect who you aren't. Watch it however you watch movies... and I hope you like it as I did.
