I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Got to the register and it was EIGHT DOLLARS. No side, no chips, no drink. 8 dollars for just a sandwich.

Oy vey! At my place, even on Wall Street, it's seven bucks with chips, pickle, bottle of soda.

I am SO happy about my friend Nancy, though!

It's very cool! Way cooler then when I saw my mother's friend's name scroll by on the Grammys -- he had won for best liner notes or something, but no one ever said his name out loud on TV.

I have leftovers, which today is pasta with white beans and kale. I'm not actually that thrilled about it, but I am hungry.

But yeah, the attitude of the people who run the place, and think they do kinda sucks.

Are they the kind of people who send me 3 e-mails within the span of 20 minutes asking when something will be completed? Because I've got 50+ of them all doing that to me right now.

I was pretty mellow when I got to work this morning, even though it was cold and snowing heavily. Stupid Dallas.

Well, the Oscar blitz should be fun this year. I'm actually excited about seeing a number of these.

I'm very happy that The Diving Bell and the Butterfly got a nomination after all, since I saw it this weekend and thought it was amazing.

And how could Persepolis not be nominated for best foreign-language film?

And no one noticed, until I got curious about something.

I do this all the time as a QA. Sometimes I think it would be better to pretend I didn't see it and let it be found out in the course of events (especially if it's something I got detoured by rather than what I was working on) but I just can't let things go.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I went to a place that had turkey loaf and two sides. I ordered it, and the lady gave me two giant slabs of turkey. I could barely eat half of it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I got sushi. And ginger snaps. And OKAY, FINE, a couple of Reese's peanut butter eggs.

I'm very happy that The Diving Bell and the Butterfly got a nomination after all, since I saw it this weekend and thought it was amazing.

I liked it a lot, but I had the most vicseral reaction to the eyelid sewing that I've ever had to any image in a film. I almost ran out of the theatre.

And how could Persepolis not be nominated for best foreign-language film?

Because they slotted it in as a animated film?

For lunch I had my own spicy lentil soup, which wasn't nearly spicy enough. Bah.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I had a can of Chicken Noodle-O's.
