Thursday, Nov. 21, 2002 / 11:30 p.m. ~Thursday Night, Whilst Downloading "Loser"~ It's taking me about 3 hours to download one song from KaZaA. This is crazy. You want to know what song it is, don't you? Welllllll...... I've been enjoying "Odelay" a lot lately, I listened to it again today at work, so I really wanted to download "Jackass" off that album, but it wasn't available, or the 'peer' wasn't online, the one who had it for me to download. So, I went with "Loser", an oldie but goodie, Beck's first 'hit', but Jesus. FOREVER. Crap, now it's back to 'remote queueing'. I know I'm not spelling that right, and I don't care. I have 3906 out of 4603KB. Frustrating. The Thursday lineup was good. I think my favorite part was "CSI". Good, good, detective work. Fun stuff. Great music, great lighting, fun acting, campy dialogue - how did it go?, "What we have is murder...... In 16 millimeter." Dunnnnnn, dun dunnnnnnn, etc. I love it. Those opening guitar strains wherein you can just see in your mind's eye Pete Townshend's arm twisting out of its socket, Roger Daltrey swinging his mic around. And you know that after the commercial break you get to see evidence discovered, murderers caught, you'll know that crime does NOT pay, it never did, and no one gets away with murder. Good, good stuff. And of course tonight's episode had that prurient element, the snuff/porn film thing. Ooooooooo. I haven't called him yet. He's in town, but I didn't want to call during my shows. This is my one really good chock full TV night. Really. Two shows Tuesday, one Wednesday, and this, Thursday, three shows. That's it. No kidding. If I remember, I watch "A Cook's Tour" and "Dog Days", which are both on Fridays now. Otherwise, it's "Felicity" taking over the reins as my new soap, seeing as how the VCR won't let me watch "GL". So, right, I didn't call him, not yet. Tomorrow, I'm thinking. Brief interruption: Norm was scratching at something so I went to look, and she had that "LOOK, a BUG!!!!" thing going on, but I looked and there was nothing. I moved things aside, she looked some more, and when I tried to console her, tell her it's okay if she's hallucinating, she got all pissed off. Now she's climbing walls, running around, crazy-like. Whee. So here's my horoscope for tomorrow. Normally I don't pay much attention to Jonathan Cainer, but jeez, lately he is DEAD on target, it's almost scary: "Do you think you already know what your weekend holds in store? Then why are you reading this? You are not as sure as you would like to be. You can sense change in the air. This though, is nothing to fear. Your world is not about to be turned inside out or upside down. You are simply going to be shown a way to approach an old problem from a different angle. Things have been stuck in a rut for too long. You deserve more excitement, more adventure and more freedom. You also deserve a greater sense of financial solvency. All this, you are about to get." It sounds good, doesn't it? I mean, really appropriate. To me, and to my fellow Aries person, the one who shares my birthday, one Jessica. It fits us both, perfectly. I hope she gets what she wants, gets out of her rut, as much as I hope I do too. We're sharing our misery across the cosmos, or really just across waves of energy. It's almost the same, what she's feeling, what I'm feeling, what she described today about not talking to people, really talking, how she may go a whole weekend without it. We manifest our energies differently, but what we're going through is spooky in its similarity. Maybe Cainer is right. Al Gore is an Aries too. I wonder how he's doing? I think he's yanking himself from his rut. He's gearing up, isn't he? He'd better be getting his game plan together now. Criticizing Bush is a good start, speaking out is good, but he has to have his own agenda, a good one this time, a better one, one that Joe Blow can relate to. More protests are coming up too. This Anti-War "Movement" appears to be gathering steam, momentum. I hope it sticks, I hope it swells, I hope we match Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, in numbers of dissenters. It's our right. We've got to go public with our protests. Writing about it is good, sharing our feelings is good, but taking to the streets, no matter how futile it can seem at times, is probably the best way to make a statement. In my opinion. Even writing letters to those who make decisions in public office doesn't seem to have too much of an effect. I love Thursday night. The entertainment is good, knowing the next day is Friday, and Casual Day is the best. Sitting in my cubicle today, so cozy and quiet, listening to college radio on the Walkman, reading the free weekly, then my EW, I felt so incredibly at home, and for a moment, a brief moment, I doubted my intent to walk away. I've been sucked in so deep for so long it's really hard to contemplate this. I know it's what I need for own sanity, for my own survival, my own health, physical, mental, spiritual, but it's not easy. 4 years 9 months. It's not easy to change even what's horribly wrong. We grow accustomed. 4210 out of 4603KB now. Am I a "Loser" for going to so much trouble to be able to hear "Loser" through my PC's speakers? Insert a little chuckle right about there. I've been neglecting my LiveJournal. Cost of the War in Iraq
