Hammering away at the Diesel again.

This morning I wasn't quite so ambitious: I couldn't drag myself up until about 7:30. But I still got up, resisted the urge to flop back into bed, tempting as it was, ate some breakfast, went to the bank and the post office, and now I'm here.

The problems, as I see them, are twofold:

1. I'm not awake until at least 10 anyway, so the hours between 7 and 10 are spent getting myself awake and not getting much done. That'll change, but it'll take time.

2. Salicom is evil.

Well, let me rephrase that. They're not evil; in fact, the guy I've talked to a bunch of times to help me with it is really sweet - and it's always the same guy! Small, these Salicom people are. (Yoda I speak like.) What they are is idiots. Every morning I've had to call them and fix one thing or another before I could have the privilege of logging on to the 'net at my favorite coffeeshop. And of course, T-mobile (provider of internet access for the Starbucks across the street and my cell phone carrier) are equal idiots, and for whatever reason don't give me reception inside the Diesel - in spite of the fact that I can usually pick up T-mobile internet access from inside the Diesel! Not sure if they're connected at all, but if they are, that shit just pisses me off.

Regardless. Enough bitching. Mostly I'm doing okay. It's good to get up early. I wonder if the regular use of the drops is helping with the allergy issue, and my grogginess and zombieness will pass by the end of the month...? It would be rather amazing.

This week has been a whirlwind thus far. Monday night, went out for drinks though imlad had taken a day to work at home, since he was feeling sick. Working at home drives him nuts, so we needed to get out of the house. The next day, he stayed home sick for real, and again, by the end of the night he was feeling mostly better, and we stepped out to check the action at the Diesel (none, by 9pm) and then to get desserts at Gargoyle's. Last night we saw the director's cut of Donnie Darko, and I have to tell you - if you've seen this movie, loved it, but still have questions, see the director's cut. If you haven't seen the movie, see the director's cut. If you don't know what I'm talking about, see the fragging director's cut. It's beautiful, and it explains so much.

Off to find out if The Philosophy of Time Travel is a real book.

I don't know that the problem is T-Mobile, specifically: Davis Square is notorious for having patchy phone reception. At least, that's what hear says: T-Mobile is my carrier too, so I can only *personally* attest to that part.

where did you guys see donnie darko? has the director's cut been released on video or *bounce* in the theatre?
that movie really blew me away when i first watched it (and not just because of the excessive Gyllenhotness), so much so that i watched it again immediately the next day. the first viewing left me feeling melancholy and sad, yet the second left me feeling hopeful and uplifted...weirdness.

good movie...love to see the director's cut, not because i feel that more things need to be explained, i don't really need everything in a narrative to be 'figured out', but mostly i'd like to see what the director's real vision for the film was

side note: i had the chance to see it again at the coolidge cinema awhile back, and for the previews they showed trailers of movies that were released in 1984...pretty sweet...

There is in fact a shocking amount of Gyllenhotness, isn't there?

The director's cut should be out at the Brattle very soon!

(Wanna go?)
