for any of those wondering, indie-rock.net is a good resource and a fun board to post to. hopefully they'll be adding more content as time goes on.

i went out with allison to see ocean's 11 last night. i've been waiting for this movie since i caught word they were making it. about the best thing i can say about this movie is that it totally exudes "cool." pitt and clooney turn in great performances, with matt damon backing them up ably. you can tell everyone involved with this movie had a great time making it. andy garcia is at his creepy best. you have to love a movie where the "bad" guys win. i'm a sucker for a heist movie, anyway. it's definitely on the recommended list.

obligatory coffeeshop story: i walked in this morning and they called me by name. usually they just recognize me and start making my drink, but today i was addressed by my name and my coffee was made to perfection. i did not, however, get my coffee for free today. you have to take the small victories when they come, i guess. this all adds up to either (a) they really like me at the coffeeshop or (b) i'm in there way too much and should probably seek help for my coffee addiction. maybe it's (c) all of the above.

at my new desk, i sit next to the main walkway for the entire floor. this is a problem because "the singing guy" keeps walking by, singing songs i've never heard of in his faux soulful voice. it's grating. if you're that happy to be at work, you need some serious psychiatric help.

other than that…work sucks. girls suck. not winning free sprite sucks. not getting the promotions that you're overqualified for because they just happen to think it's funny to dick you over sucks (this is directly related to "work sucks"). not knowing where you stand with the girl that you were dating until fairly recently, but you still really like and she's stated that she likes you…sucks.

things that don't suck: the sultans, black widows, coffee, cute girls at the coffeeshop that chat you up and have lots of tattoos (good for the ego), sprite (even if you had to pay for it), ocean's 11, new roommates that don't suck, and blowing shit up in grand theft auto 3 (helps take the edge off the day). these things all come with the highest recommendation (unless you start distracting the previously mentioned "cute coffeeshop girl" and infringe upon my "chat time").

obligatory pop culture reference: i'm starting to think that i am the weakest link.
