houston calling

2003.11.24 19.42

I'm sitting at my old wooden desk typing on my fourth choice PC. My first, second and third choice machines are in Philly. The fourth choice machine is fairly old, although it does have XP Professional on it. I'm not suffering terribly. I just came back from doing a little exploratory surgery on the garage wiring. The guys who sided the house managed to somehow lose the ''black'' wire that gave juice to all my cool garage lights. The white wires were there, but no sign of Mr. Black. Upsetting. I think I'm going to visit Home Depot after I finish this entry and pick up some wiring and lighting goodies. I have a bag of returns I need to drop off. I briefly toyed with the idea of replacing all my outlets with grey hardware and stainless steel plates. This looked great in the kitchen. Horrible everything else. I probably already mentioned this 6 weeks ago in a previous blog entry, so please pardon the black cat.

I went to Number's on Friday night and really had a great time. I bought three of the Mix CD's from DJ Wes Wallace. He's really good. It's like having Number's in your car. I drove there in my mediocre Chevy Malibu rental. It's god awful ugly and has well over 13,000 miles. I miss my hot purple Kia rental from two weeks ago. Aside from the Number's visit, my roommate is also on vacation so I've managed to go out and do non-solo stuff. We saw ''Mystic River'' last night and I liked everything except 1) the incidental music (it was completely inappropriate whenever they used it, as if someone had accidentally cut the music in from another theater) and 2) the last three minutes where everything was wrapped up suddenly in a confusing whirlwind of resolve. That sucked, actually. I also saw a little bit of what I thought was either bad directing or bad acting on the part of Sean Penn and Tim Robbins. They gave double-takes every once in a while that were so fake that I felt I was watching myself act. I definitely recommend the film as the story is very interesting and engaging. B.

Okay, I'll post another entry after midnight and detail my Home Depot experience. I know. You're counting the minutes, right?
