magically, i seem to have more hours in my day. i think most of it is due to living in a town (techincally) the size of mechanicsville. im surrounded by suburbia and sprawl, but i barely have to move to get everywhere i need to be.

as a result, i seem to get more in a day. i dont spend all my time getting to where i want to be.

this is good.

kurt, r and i went and saw 'v for vendetta' this afternoon. its solid. kurt and r both liked it a lot. im on the fence. it impacted me on an emotional level; i found myself very invested in the movie. but i found the plot to be a little opaque; the production to be a little confused. it wasnt a comic book movie. but it also wasnt an action movie, a drama or anything else. (this reminds me, to a less extent here, of the problem with 'dark city' years and years ago. this time the division is not nearly as severe, but i would have liked to see it try to deliver its message with its feet firmly planted.

regardless, i left feeling drained. and tired. in a good way, a way that made me sure i had spent those hours well.

nonetheless, i have felt like crying for hours. not over anything in particular. i think just because i feel so drained. tripp must need alone time. living in a house with 3 other people and no real space of my own (or privacy) can do that after a bit. i cant imagine everyone here (r, kurt and jack) dont feel the same somewhat. though at least jack and kurt have their own rooms. i have a mattress and a room full of boxes that is shared with r.

ok, i need to find a way to escape. im going to go insane.

so hours later and i have had hot tea and dinner and edited a bunch of webpages. its nice to feel productive and have time again to code on the site.

my delicious code is in, tagging is almost set up now. i updated some of the static pages tonight and think i have finally squashed the stupid search bug that has allowed for spamming that last few months. we will see.

i still have a list of about 12 items to hit on here. most are style sheet tweaks, browser fixes and stuff like that.

its nice to think i might actually get through my list in another couple of weeks.

but for now, i stop listening to deep dish (essential mix 19-06-2005) and sleep. im still happy.
