Reflections In A Flubber Room

What you perceive is what it is.

I'm bored

I'm also extremely unhip, and a bit sleepy. I gotta blog blog blog, if I am to keep up to date with the prevailing culture which has tipped decisively in favor of the 99% connected GenY kids who have made doddering GenXers like me irrelevant. I still do not have an iPod, an iPhone, or a Facebook account, and my Myspace account has been languishing all but unused forever. I'm not depressed really--a lot of that stuff seems like overhyped hooey anyway--but I do feel a bit...I dunno the word...insubstantial? Like a ghost? No, more like a neutrino, passing through the earth without making the slightest impact or effect on anything. Others will leave their footprint on the mass consciousness thanks to their hip techno-savviness, their insatiable need to be seen, and their media-bred talent for being seen; I doubt I ever will.

Damn, and I took both Pexeva and Budeprion this morning. WTF??

up my nose with a rubber hose

CPAP machine coming tomorrow.

Did you know that Dr. Cuddy on House is a certified scuba diver? I got to experience again the palpable thrill of Lisa Edelstein mentioning that she "has one of those [a C-card]" on tonight's encore presentation of a Season 3 episode due to the writer's strike. Ah, the mental pictures it conjures up. but that's nothing compared the same exact scenario with my girlfriend in the lead role...va-voom!

unhealth

My thumb's better; the only stingeyness is from skin pulling on sutures.

It's official: I need a CPAP machine because I have a heavy duty case of obstructive sleep apnea. (I shall have a hose for a nose thenceforth, blowing air into both nostrils and down my throat so as to keep said throat unblocked during my nightly repose.) This could be fun, making mouth-articulated wind noises and fake flatulence all night. When life throws you socks, make sock puppets, I always say.

Has it occurred to you...

...that a person with multiple personality disorder is a case of two things existing at the same exact position in time and space, thus violating the known laws of physics? It gives the term "freak of nature" a whole new meaning.

Canvas

I think I'm going to buy one a little later when we go out. Hopefully Dick Blick will still be open. I'll probably ruin it with my lack of finesse with paint (I use acrylics) but what the hell. I'll just tell people that it was intentional, or that I was making a statement or challenging their preconceived notions or some other intellectual-sounding crap. Brilliant, eh?

Barefoot In The Park is on TCM...

...and I got all teary-eyed again with desire to live in New York. Manhattan, I mean, Manhattan. Or maybe Brooklyn or Queens in a pinch. But not where I'll be surrounded by depression-slash-inferiority-complex-inducing hipsters. But I'm not rich enough to live where they live anyway.

My thumb's sore. Three stitches, remember.

I also saw most of Take The Money And Run last night, also on TCM. I not only want to see more Woody Allen movies now--I want to be Woody Allen. ie brilliant and from New York. Being neurotic and Jewish wouldn't be too bad either.
