{ Thursday, May 29, 2008 }Paradox of the human condition #34,209 Something I've learned recently from internet discourse in general and creating multi-option polls in particular: People sometimes need to say, in the loudest voices possible, how much they don't care about something. A-apathy in action.
In retrospect, this isn't such a new thing. To admit to caring about something makes you slightly more vulnerable and exposed than usual, and proclaiming, "whatever, man, I am SO ABOVE THAT" gives you that additional bit of armor. Maybe it's an Internet thing, a hasty attempt to reclaim some cool. Until of course you remember that you're on the Internet. Which is a losing battle.
I have been spending too much time on the Internet recently, and yet also not enough time on the Internet. This is a bad combination. But maybe that'll change soon. Like in a month or so.Labels: in which our heroine, other people are nifty

- Continuing to work on this massive project, which is hard as I'm out of Justice League to watch. (It helps me focus!) #
- Batman: TAS is a decent substitute, though. #
- Things that amuse me: the pretense that the X-Files mythology actually makes any sort of sense. #
- Who else is going to be in NYC for the Webbys/Internet week? #
- Plane ticket for NYC bought! Now to plan out my stay. Who all will be around? #

- The click-click of heels outside, coming up the stairs to the apartment next door. I'm an aural witness to my neighbor's walk of shame. #
- Struggling with a nerd fit of awesome nerdity. This is not condusive towards my plans of a super-productive Saturday. #
- Baked brownies and cornbread this afternoon while exporting latest cut of short film for tomorrow's meeting. This is how I define domestic. #

- Such a sucker for white dudes rapping about the Internet? I need to stop watching online video and devote myself to Run DMC full-time. #

- Tonight's to-do: finish last two entries in spreadsheet, start tomorrow's piece, rerecord VO, running, blog entry.. and sleep before 3. #

- Off to donate blood. This should be funny. #
- Haha! My iron count was 1% below Red Cross requirements. Thus, get moral satisfaction of blood donation, w/o having to donate! Victory! #

- Great article about pairing wine selections with music: tinyurl.com/54v22s #
- Fun fact: My form of OCD means that I cannot have an odd number of messages in my inbox at any time. Unless it's a multiple of five. #
- I often use this fact to force myself into replying to emails I might otherwise ignore or postpone. #
- Liz, you are supposed to be REVIEWING "Epic-fu," not WATCHING "Epic-fu" and following their links to new web utilities. #
- FINALLY. Blue Shield approved my health insurance application! I will be the healthiest grown-up, so very soon! #
- Being fairly productive, which means I deserve a Conchords break: tinyurl.com/5mbz6a #

- Please help a girl out: vote in today's Variety poll. They really will make fun of me if no one does. #
- Breakfast for lunch, for the second day in a row. Really need to get to the grocery store. #

- Watching "Gladiator," drinking vodka tonics, updating spreadsheets. I am totally awesome. #
- Things that are younger than John McCain: tinyurl.com/6ywezy #
- Have finally mastered the art of making iced tea. This will be what keeps me from going on a killing spree, come summer. #
- First nice day we've had in a long time, and I spend it inside wearing pajamas and poking at spreadsheets. All for a good cause, though. #
- Why I was bitching about Kate Capshaw yesterday: tinyurl.com/6c7jbh #
- Hey, friends, do me a favor and vote on poll: www.variety.com/ (right side, just below fold). If you don't, co-workers will mock me. #

- Ohnoes. X-Files trailer is out. Time to watch. Ohnoes. #
- How do you know, X-Files, that the one thing I love on this earth is Mulder telling Scully "I need you on this"? HOW DO YOU KNOW?! #
- After last night's three hours of "Survivor" recapping, it is hard to sit down and write straight, non-snarky review prose #
- You know what I don't think gets a lot of notice? How hot some men can be in khaki. #
- Is there anyone on this earth who really thinks that Kate Capshaw is better than Karen Allen? Really? #

- It's been days since i properly blogged. This is because when I try to write more than 160 characters, it comes out "SLEEPY SLEEPY SLEEPY." #
- Tea! That's all I needed! Good cup of tea! Super-heated infusion of free-radicals and tannin, just the thing for healing the synapses. #
- Mention of 'Redbelt' has triggered full-on Mamet-off in office. You know it's on when the IMDB quotes pages get referenced. #
- Two hours until my little one-act premieres. That's the kinda revelation that'll wake you up. #
- "I wrote a hit play, so I'm not sweating it either." Actors are good at knowing lines. Better than me, anyway. Time for chocolate and sleep. #

- Tempted to create a formula for calculating how long it takes to transcribe interview vs. actual interview length. X = WAY TOO LONG, BUDDY. #
- Transcript done! With twenty minutes to spare. Last words recorded by dearly beloved college tape recorder: "And now, the next step..." #
- Cheers: Get to go to midnight screening of Speed Racer for work. Jeers: Already falling asleep at desk. #
- I really am just very tired right now. Lots more work ahead. And, starting to get some carpal twinges. BAD TIMING, ARM. #
- I'm not too tired to download this when I get home, though: tinyurl.com/6j9rbx #

- Went to bar last night with E. it really doesn't matter what night we go out, a night out with E. means tequila shots and strange men. #
- Which reminds me, I should probably make sure E. isn't dead in a gutter somewhere. Though the guy she ran off with was British. #
- Today's ensemble -- ripped-up baggy Target jeans, Webby Awards jacket, and this t-shirt: www.brandonbird.com/crimefighters.html #
- My college-era tape recorder crapped out on me during this afternoon's interview. Guess it's time to replace my iTalk Pro. #
- Calling Best Buy to make sure they have iTalks. Have now spoken to 5 different sales reps. They're making it hard for me to give them my $. #
- ...especially since they have none to sell me. #

- Now on Twitterific! A bold new experiment for me. #
- True fact: my work week is the exact opposite from everyone else. Monday is my favorite day. Fridays can sucks it. #
- Ugh. I forgot that my computer hates being asked to do things like run FCP and, well, any other application simultaneously. #

- Didn't finish post in time to go to yoga class. So downloading yoga podcast to flow with. Must play loud, b/c GTAIV #
- ...Because GTAIV is rocking out in my living room. Oh, the sirens of Liberty City, my roommate will be singing your song all weekend. #
- Damn it. Forgot about friend's comedy show tonight. 'Iron Man' rescheduled to tomorrow. Hey, maybe now I can catch up on Battlestar! #
- Sitting on my balcony, finishing up the last of the day's work. So easy to be productive when everyone else is out enjoying the nice day! #
