brain dump…

I have nothing in particular to write about, but that’s just as well. I figured I’d start writing and let the things fall in to place.

Firstly, I just picked up a book called House of Leaves and while I am not quite done with it, it is pretty damn awesome! I’ve heard it be described as “post-post-modern” fiction, which really tells me nothing, but alas, it is good, and complex, and I like that.

I leave for sunny California in a few days! I plan to bring my camera with me, and if luck holds out, I’ll be taking a ride up the Redwood Highway and perhaps will visit where my dad was born and raised. Aside from taking pictures of trees and maybe driving through a few of them, I also plan to take part of my trip through the coastal highway and get some good shots of Pacific Ocean. I hope the weather is good the weekend I plan to make my trip.

Oh yeah, I lost my iPod nano. I took that thing with me everywhere I went, so I guess it was bound to happen. Alas, I will miss thee, but I do have a third generation iPod that I can use in the meantime.

Speaking of iPods, and more specifically, music, I am currently on an indie rock kick. I’ve also supplemented my library with some odd Cocteau Twins, New Order, and the random Paul McCartney and Mary Prankster. Odd, I know, but ohh soo gooood.

In other news, my parents bought a new house today. It’s really sweet, and there is a slight chance I’ll be living there, in some fashion or another. We’ll have to see. It’s pretty sweet though.

I think I could take a moment to mention that there is a girl I’ve been hanging out with recently that I like, but… I don’t like talking about those things on a public forum. So yeah, blah.

Recently, there has been a flood of friend requests on MySpace from camgirls wanting to… be my “friend.” Of course, I deny the friend requests, but it’s really funny to see the guys who comment on these camgirls’ MySpace pages: “oh! thanks for the add! how are you?” Like these girls really care, it’s just advertising for them. Speaking of MySpace, my brother has set up a group to combat the plague that is BMPS (Bad MySpace Page Syndrome), I encourage anyone with a sense of style, or at least decency, to join us in our cause! =P

I still love me my pr0n!

Ok, I think with that final sentiment, my brain dump is pretty much over. =D

P.S. - at work, I go by the name “Thom”… just thought you’d all wanna know that.
