The Oscars happened? Whoops.

It was great to see and the other night, even if we almost did get killed by a minivan.

Not what it seems.

I COULD be in a coffee shop. Or I COULD be in a landromat. Not quite sure at this point.

It’s got free internet access (wired), gourmet coffee, and little lamps for non-flourescent light. It’s got ample electrical outlets for charging your laptop, too.

Not only that, but the laundromat side is all digital. No quarters. You purchase a re-usable little plastic “key” with a money chip on it, just like you get in a Kinko’s card or in some library cards. I’m pretty sure the LCC StarCard uses that system, as well. Unfortunately, the machine that takes your money and gives you your key doesn’t give change. It looks like they charge $1.50 for the key, so that people won’t just come in and keep getting them.

Horoscope

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): How long do you want to live? Before you answer, remember that thousands of scientists are engaged in research to crack the code of the aging process.

In the meantime, the astrological omens suggest this is a perfect moment to meditate on what you can personally do to promote your own longevity. What habits of mind and body can you cultivate that will keep you forever fresh? And now I drink a toast to your coffin, Taurus. May it be fashioned of lumber obtained from a hundred-year-old cypress tree whose seed will be planted this week.

It really shouldn’t be a landmark that I’ve just caught up on my friends’ page. I really shouldn’t have gotten used to being 500 entries behind. I’m certain that it’s contributed to my lack of posting.

I submitted my City Pulse article on Saturday, and haven’t really heard anything back. I’m wondering if I’ll see myself in the paper tomorrow. Heh.

Hunter S. Thompson has killed himself. In entirely unrelated news, I had no idea had an LJ. Maybe he should post in every once in a while. Heh.

So… very… much… StarGate…

When my brain has been cleared to produce intellitent and/or creative output, I’ll post again.
