Only Some Regrets

June 25, 2005

As you can probably tell by the lack of updates, I'm pretty content with how everything is going. In order:

Living at home is more bearable every day. I dare say that I'm almost happy here. People are much nicer once you get to know them and I actually even fit in a little here and there. The only thing that I'm still a little bothered about is that I can't seem to do any work at home. I suppose it's just the atmosphere. I'd like to fix it but I'm unsure how at the moment. I think making my room more like *my* room would be a great start. I almost don't know where to start.

Work is awesome, as usual. I just picked up a G5 iMac so I can do my work on the platform that I actually enjoy using which should make everything more enjoyable. I'm trying to figure out if I should take the iMac home and use the mini at work. I think that idea might win. I had a while there where I was simply using the knowledge I already had and while that's great every so often, I'm back to learning by doing and that's what I really enjoy.

Netflix has given me the entire first season of Scrubs on DVD this weekend and I'm getting through it faster than is probably healthy. I'm usually really jealous of intelligently funny male actors (because I was/wanted to be one) but I love Zach Braff in this show. It's totally brilliant and although I've got no TV to watch the current episodes, I'll follow as they come out on DVD. While we're on the subject of Zach Braff, I wanted to get something off my chest. I saw Garden State with this girl when it came out and I loved it and she hated it and I didn't stick up for it afterwards when she was going on and on about all the things that were "wrong" in the movie. It's one of those things that just eats away at me. Why didn't I stand up for the movie when I enjoyed it? I *did* go in to the movie thinking that it would be somewhat lame and I was totally wrong. I suppose I can blame it on shock but somehow I don't think that will get rid of my regret. I think you would have liked it if you had given it a chance but you were stubborn, as always. I saw this great story of giving up everything you're comfortable with for love and I don't know if you were ever able to do that or even understand it. If there's one thing I would have really liked to say to you, that would have been it.

Well, now that I'm done with that... I went to the much-lauded Tartine bakery this morning for brunch and it was excellent. I'm so glad I don't live closer though because not only was it packed but the food was so incredibly sweet and filling. I'm probably heading downtown to see what stuff is pride weekend has going on tomorrow. Hopefully it'll be nicer than the crappy weather we had today.

Oh, and I'm dreaming a lot again. Every morning I can usually wake up and recall a good deal of some half-logical dream. Previously I was dreaming of that girl and then about halfway through remembering that I didn't want to be with her but now I'm pretty aware that I don't want to be with her in the begining but she persists and I always seem to forgive her before I wake up. Stubborn, as always. Funny how I haven't spoken to her in seven months and yet she still finds a way in to my life almost daily. And on to my blog.
