I wish you didn't do
so many drugs
but maybe
we can do drugs
together
I am distressed and forlorn about things. Luckily I am tired, so I can sleep tonight.
On Tuesday, I must work both my jobs. I will be at Sourcecorp from 9am until 3pm, whereupon I will go straight to the Art Mission and work until midnight or so. I went there yesterday to see a movie with Christina and Stephanie called "The Savages." It's about a middle-aged brother and sister who decide to put their elderly father into a nursing home. I thought it was going to suck, maybe because we use a trailer for it for screen tests and I'd watched it way too many times. Turns out it's great, very affecting and humorous. I love it when I think I'm going to hate a movie and it turns out to be awesome. The exhibition in the gallery is really cool; this guy makes paintings in a sort of traditional Indian style and then places plexiglass rods in front of them to distort the image. They seem like they would be a lot of fun for people with altered consciousnesses.
I've been trying to install Xubuntu Linux on this old Dell that Sam gave me, and from which I'm updating right now. The CD drive doesn't work, and the iso image refuses to be recognized by any install program I've thus far used. Nothing I've tried has worked; right now I'm downloading the desktop CD and will try to mount it on a fake CD drive I created using Daemon Tools. If this doesn't work I guess I'll just have to go to Red Barn and buy a CD drive; it's kind of unacceptable to have a computer with a non-working CD drive anyway. It's a funny little machine that has Windows XP running on it and really shouldn't; it takes about two minutes for Internet Explorer to load. It has a 448 Mhz Intel Pentium III processor, 160 MB of RAM, a floppy drive, a Zip drive--talk about a blast from the past--and an 8.5 GB HD. I bought a 160 GB HD from Red Barn but I can't seem to configure a bootable file structure on it. It can boot from the Zip drive but nobody sells Zip disks anymore. What a pain in the butt. Supposedly Xubuntu is designed for machines that are short on resources and has a reputation for reviving old computers. I've also heard that CompUSA is going out of business and is selling laptops for ten bucks. I've also heard that your mom smells like dog food. HA! Didn't see that one coming, did you?
The other day Christina told me that she feels as though she has everything and nothing at the same time. After a few questions, I decided that she has something missing in her life and that she needs more intellectual stimulation. She seems to have an active mind, so it would make sense for her to feel as she does. I think she needs to get a job, and live in some sort of routine. But who am I to diagnose?
