meh

i have had a slight but growing pain in my appendix area for about 29 hours now. it doesn’t feel good. if i pretend its not there, i function normally, but it being there alone is sucking my energy right out. i didn’t see fubar last night because of it.
i want it to go away.

autodeceptive

i developed a word this afternoon with Randy at The Secret Location.
autodeceptive: the ability to deceive ones self
do you know anyone that is exceptionally good at telling bad lies, and then actually believes them? that person is a good example of an autodeceptor!
oddly enough, it seems that this word is a hybrid of Autobots and Decepticons. that is not its origin, but that sure makes it gooder.
something not autodeceptive: girlrepair is back!

whoops

whoops!
i had a great night last night,
totally by accident!
i had dropped jim off at his place in james bay, and i had to drive through town again to get home. i decided to drop into hush for a few minutes to say hello to all and i’m not sure what else. what ended up happening was me sitting at a booth and having a conversation from around 11 pm – 2 am.
obviously, it was a good conversation, though interrupted a few times. it didn’t quite feel like the conversation was over when i decided to leave.. i guess that’s what it’s like when you’ve been waiting to meet that person for about 2 years.
and now i must work!
have a massive day!

So, it appears that a great deal of the responses have leaned toward a Canon G2 (which I heard is discontinued) or G3 (which I heard is pricey to the tune of $1300) and not really any responses towards the Fuji Finepix 3800. I think I have to check out what Canon carries in the G series. Uhh, G series sounds like a rap compilation, but that’s not what I meant.
In other news. . I’ve been working, battling a very boring and uneventful headcold, and sleeping plenty. Oh, and I watched Monsters Inc. last night. Very cute movie, awesome animation and rendering etc. Go watch it just for the geek factor, even.

woohoo!

we did our first night of chlorine tonight with Charles Paul aka Noma! He is such a good dj. Damn.
The coffee meet that was supposed to be at Cafe De La Lune was not. I arrived a bit early, but as it turns out, Cafe De La Lame is now closed on holidays. Whut?!?! Soooo lame! I waited in front with all the sketchy people for about 20 minutes. Then Quinten showed up, and we made a sign that said “rave.vic meet has gone to QV’s!” We bumped into Richard on the way to QV’s and we all had coffee.
i have 2 days off! What should I do with these days off, peoples?
Should I:
a) do nothing
b) make music
c) make graphics
d) go to vancouver
e) play it by ear
f) other?

Today I did something really odd. Well, what I did specifically is not that strange, but what it meant was really quite crazy, In The Grand Scheme Of Things.
I’ve been reading, fairly regularly, a blog of someone who has been writing about a new sphere of existence (for himself), a new environment .. in detail. I had been reading about it, being able to actually enter the environment in real life, but had not until today.
So, all of a sudden, there I was, in a world that he had described in many finely crafted words over the last month or so, since he started work there. It was a place I had been to many times before, but for some reason, it felt like somewhere I’d never been before. I guess I had been looking at the place through his eyes, through his words, for the last while. If there is a word to describe this oddness, please let me know. It was almost like being John Malcovitch (sp?). Except.. not.
And so I was asked what I wanted. I managed to spit out an answer after fumbling for words for a few seconds.
I ordered a Jones Cream Soda and an Earl Grey tea.
The writer, or as many know him, Jim, rung up the order and I paid. I hung out for a few minutes and chatted as the store encountered a brief calmness. I thanked him for his service and left.
In other news.. this evening, myself and about 20 of my co-workers from the Powersmart team had dinner at Darcy’s pub. The food was great and the conversation was excellent.. enjoyable stuff. 🙂
Afterwards I went to see Red Dragon. Worth seeing. Go see it. Okay?
Music: I’ve been listening to Dead Can Dance tonight. What an awesome duo they are. Today I picked up the new Conjure One album. Conjure One is half Delerium (Rhys Fulber) and half JunkyXL. Haven’t listened to it yet, aside from the bonus remix CD which features a new Hybrid remix that I hadn’t heard yet (could have something to do with me getting the double CD.) Also, I finally found the Heat soundtrack. Some great stuff on there, including Moby’s “God Moving Over The Face Of The Waters.” Sooo good.
But that’s all for me. Good night. 🙂
