I lost a couple of friends, which is no big deal in itself (honestly, the people who deleted me are sweeties and all, but I've been finding their journals kind of inscrutable lately... maybe just my state of mind). However, the weeeeeird thing is that I know I lost one person that I can't put my finger on... someone who deleted. & I feel like maybe I haven't been paying enough attention! (this happens from time to time. & it usually takes me a while to figure out who the missing person is.)

I'm going to go... hook up computer peripherals that have been sitting around for a while? nah, probably not. clean my room? well, maybe a little.
watch a movie - almost famous, or wonder boys (which i've already seen twice - come on, y'all know i like Michael Chabon!) ?? hm, most likely. and some mint green tea. and a slice of cake! that should hit all the spots!

(edited: oh, the deleter was chrisbynum! that sucks. come back when you can, Chris!)

and books, too! i'm not a david foster wallace person particularly, just haven't gotten to him yet. but I used to buy Might magazine when it was around, and I own a couple of issues of McSweeney's (not the hardcover or the one with the cd, but the one that was a box of story booklets, and the one before that). and I read Chabon - he's a nice guy, or at least it seems from conferences I've gotten into online (I talked to him on the Salon boards a while back), but frighteningly precocious for a gen-x writer. & I have a deep affection for Coupland. & I notice that most people just a few years younger than me don't "get it" at all, while I'm usually pretty sympatico with people who are anywhere between about 22 and their late 30s, depending on their interests. I have a 40 yr old uncle who has more in common with me, as far as pop culture goes, than with his siblings who are five to fourteen years older than him.

i keep meaning to post something in here about how great your journal has been lately! keep it up, missy. :)

yes, you are SO RIGHT about being in 'synch' with older folks
rather than the youngin's.
i'm a graduating senior on campus and i just seem to have nothing in common
with the freshman here ... they are on their own planet it seems.
it's so bizarre how those subtle generational lines are made!
