emphatically static
For the first time ever in my life, I decided to do something waaay before the deadline. I have no idea what came over me. I saw this bill sitting on the table this morning, and fully realizing it wasn’t due till more than ten days later, I wrote out the check. I put it in its little pre-addressed envelope and dropped it off in the nearest post box.
Without stamps.
God damnit.
I spent all my day shopping, for other people. Bought a lot of little (and not so little) and cute (and not so cute) stuff. It felt awesome, for the most part. I wish I were a kid or had one. And there were somethings which I kept leaning over to pick up, but I had to step back when I realized I didn’t have anyone to give those sorts of things to anymore.
I don’t like tearing up this often.
(I wonder why a scarily informative program on intersexuals I saw last night keeps popping up in my head. Arggh.)
Bittersweet symphony is life.
Remind me the next time. Just because there’s a channel with a South Park marathon running all night doesn’t mean I have to watch it.

Update: Orkut annoys me with its predictive capabilities every time that I login – “You will be fortunate in everything.”
Yeah, riiight.
There are a bunch of books on people’s experiences with autistic children in my aunt’s home. I’ve been reading one by this mother of an autistic child who handles advanced calculus classes at M.I.T, but at the same time cannot tie his shoe laces or speak a sentence. It was called, hmm, “From a mother’s heart” or something like that. I got into it almost wanting to be deeply moved and end up bawling.
No such thing. I know this woman has been through a lot, but she didn’t seem very nice and made it more about her than I expected it to be. Not.. motherly enough. Speaking of which, there is another woman I have a problem with. The one who gave up her baby on 20/20 yesterday. I will detail my issues with that scheme of events some other time.
And unrelated, I’ve been going through recent pictures to pick (yet another) one for my orkut profile. Social networking things are rather eventless (at least for relatively asocial people like myself), and this is the only sort of thing I really do on them. Anyway, I had this policy against posting (easy to access, not heavily filtered) full facial photos here. You know, for weird privacy concerns. But I figured I’ve put them up in places like orkut anyway, how much more damage could I be doing?
Here’s one of them that didn’t make the cut for the dumbest reason. Anyway, I’ve got this soft focus thing down to a fishing science.
Yes, I think this was taken around the time I took this, too.
