It was a very long, interminable day. Unfortunately, I've got another 2 ahead of me this week. Tomorrow should be awfully quiet, with Genevieve gone. Days seem to go by slower with no one else back here. I had such vicious thoughts throughout the day, though. Spite.

...

I have the new Regina Spektor album; I am of course listening to one song over and over, although I like a lot of it. She redid "Samson," which was kind of pointless, but "Fidelity" and "On the Radio" and "That Time" are especially wonderful. This is another musician who needs to make albums every couple of weeks. Although to be fair, "Songs" and "11:11" probably could have been one album, because they're both awfully inconsistent. She makes a damn good mix CD, though.

...

Unhappy weight issues. I'm going to have to go off Chinese again, work out more, drink even more fucking water, and be more conscious of my portions. Hell has come back to me, and for a while there, food was the one thing going for me during the day. That may've been the issue to lead to the ten pounds.

...

Sex is a beautiful, holy event. The drought is over, finally. If anyone heard chimes (or a hallelujah chorus) 'round about 1 am this morning, just congratulate me and move on.

...

Lil Attila: The Movie (as I'm recently calling the novel 'cause I can't think of a fucking title for it yet) is going very slowly; it's driving me very crazy. I'm trying, and I have ideas, but they aren't coming out... I'm just so angry at that... it's about 4 months past due (for my own personal deadline), and it's just not coming. I had such a beautiful start, and I'm on the 18th page and the ink is just taking forever.

Snark.

Last night, I hung out with MSU-Brian, and that's was swell. It was nice having more than maybe 10 words exchanged between the two of us. We'd been talking online for some time (him, and MSU-Mike), and last night was the first time of actual conversation.

We went to Applebee's, and he came back and we watched most of Four Rooms. It was good stuff; I look forward to (continue) getting to know him, and Mike. Mike, however, I've had even fewer non-online words. But by his own admission, that's just kinda how he is.

But, yes. Nifty. And "nimble," which was apparently the word of the day.

As a side note, I really need to get the Regina Spektor CD. I keep going to her website to play her video "Us" just so I can hear it.

As another side note, the power here in West Paterson sucks. Or, drains, or whatever. We've been massive brown-outs so my computer has occasionally turned off, and the battery back-ups keep beeping. Less fun.
