Why Bother?

Earlier today, I’d composed a nice long rant about why I don’t want to live in San Francisco anymore (largely because it’s expensive, pretentious, and a big time pain in the ass), and I was trying to decide where to put it. Then I decided not to put it anywhere for now, because it didn’t cover any really new ground and almost sounded more whiny than ranty. But if anyone really wants to read it, let me know. I’ll send it to you, or maybe even post it, if enough people care. Which is doubtful. I’m not sure if I even care that much anymore…

I took a nice computer sabbatical tonight instead. I spent last week being really geeky, what with getting the last of the sites and domains moved, and trying to learn obscure Apache directives and all. It was a little rough on the eyes and the rest of the body (bad posture, extra nicotine comsumption, not enough sleep, etc.), so I’m not going to do it again this week. Tonight, I read the Sunday paper (yes, I know it’s Monday), listened to Steely Dan, and got reacquainted with the first Imperial Teen CD, which I found at Rasputin a week or two back…

But all the same, here I sit in front of the G4 at 10:00, remembering one bit of work I need to do tonight and also that I’d planned to flesh out yesterday’s journal entry. The former is almost complete; the latter will have to wait. But it was a great weekend. And Friday is only four days away…
