I recently came to the conclusion that psychiatry is not, by definition, suicide. I have an appointment on thursday to see if my primary Dr. will work with me or if I'm going to a specialist.

I haz a new monitor. It is shiny.
It's one of these. I didn't pay nearly MSRP for it. My old 17" trinatron is going out so I got the upgrade. Big upgrade. wow. I'm gunna go watch some heroes now.
Edit: Very shiny. I can actually see what's going on in the dark parts of the show now. Also, it takes some really bad speakers for me to be able to tell they're bad inside of 5 seconds. I have my old speakers hooked up again.

I nearly lost it today. I nearly started loving.
Point of philosophy: Does it matter where emotions come from? I think it must; nobody wants to love a lie.

I have nothing to die for.

Fun for those who don't keep up on failblog.
1) go to google
2) type in "I am extremely"
3) read what it suggests for completing the line.
4) laugh

To all concerned,

So... in return for helping me to look like I can match clothes, I agreed to take ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
graycub out to a nice dinner where we dress up (in some of the clothes she helped choose). Those of you who know me, and I assume that everyone who reads this does, know that I can't match colors to save my life. Therefore, this is a very valuable service which warrants some serious recompense. An actual Dinner Out.
Time passes. graycub reminded me of this agreement recently, and I reluctantly set about fulfilling my obligation. I decided that if I was going to have to dress up, then I'm damn well going to go where everybody else is too. So, I selected a nice restaurant. I'm keeping the plans under wraps, but let's just say that the name of this place starts with "The." So, I started to calculate exactly how long I'd have to be in my (god-forsaken) suit in order to fulfill my obligation and ensure that graycub didn't have a bad time. Then I went to check on final dates and times and I got an innocent question which set my head awhirl. "Are we just doing dinner, or are we doing dinner AND something?"
I hadn't thought this through. Dinner AND? Hmm... Well, if I was going to grace graycub with one of my very rare dressed-up times, I supposed it made sense to do it for a little longer. Maybe a movie or something? No, I still wanted to hold it to other people dressed up. So, I searched through the web, discarding one thing after another on the Denver Post events pages. One thing kept drawing me back, though, and ultimately I wound up changing the day and time, and now we're looking at a 5-hour event on the 24th. It makes sense. If I'm going to get dressed up, and graycub is going to spend god-knows-how-long getting herself put together for an evening out, then we should really make it a Night Out instead of just a Dinner Out. Besides, I figured that I wouldn't hate this.
Then, in the last 24 hours or so, something strange has started happening. I've started looking foreword to this. It's no longer something to be endured or gotten through, but something to be enjoyed. I'm actually thinking I may enjoy dressing up and going out for it's own sake. Very weird.
Could it be that I'm gaining more culture than what I imbibe as cheese? Is it a sign of maturity that I want to go out looking nice? Is it a sign of the apocalypse? I'm not sure, but I am certain that it's another sign of me changing.

I've been feeling very paternal lately. And other things besides. I'm not the same man I was 9 years ago.

Ok, I have no idea who MGK is, but he made me laugh by photoshopping book covers.

If you have a favorite book or author that you don't want to see poked with fun, you may not want to click.

If you value your Star Wars, you should NOT watch this:
Under no circumstances should you watch the entire thing including all three (3) competitors.
I laughed pretty hard.
Thanks to Shamus Young for posting this where I could see it.

I'm getting my own place again!
it's a one bedroom at St Moritz apartments. I'm giving up my waterbed and spending some of the rent savings on a new fabulous bed.
I'm applying tonight. giving them the fee tomorrow. Hopefully, I'll be putting down the deposit and signing papers next week. I could be moved in under two weeks. Kinda scary.

The article says that this was the first animal to successfully survive the vacuum. It makes a person wonder how many have failed...
