simply being loved

today has truly been a gold star day (as long as this dbench runs successfully).

first, i had a couple of interesting dreams. one was me at a campus, about to leave for some reason. i can't quite remember why, unfortunately. i was walking in various buildings, thinking how this was the last time i would walk through these halls, where great thinkers and artists had once been (i think i was naming some, but i don't know that they were real people). it was pretty sad.

the other one, which may be the same dream only later on, i think was set in canada. i was in a room with some other people, including a 15 year old JFK, who was about to undergo his first womanizing experience. well, i think he would have if he had a clever pick up line, or something.

i got some laundry done, and picked up the new bt album. so far it's ho-hum for me, which is disappointing as i was blown away the first time i heard ima, and i liked MISL quite a lot too. but i'll give it some time to grow on me. i'm not saying that it's bad, that it trails the radiohead and zwan releases in my album of the year category.

lately, my phone has been acting up. the earpiece would be all static, and the charger was very flaky - i had to angle it just right to get it to charge. today i went to the at&t store to see if they'd fix it. i couldn't find the receipt, so i did not have high expectations. it turned out the guy there just gave me a new earpiece and charger, pretty much no questions asked. he did, however, put my earpiece and charger into the packages of the ones he gave me. i hope those didn't go right back on the store shelves.

work is going well... i successfully read the matrix for the first time today, and my code actually looks like it's working.

also, mc hammer was on a simpsons that TiVo caught this week. weird.

tomorrow is probably going to be one disaster after another.
