It just occurred to me that BUY NOTHING DAY will be on Nov 23, 2001 this year. I'm leaving for Vegas in a couple of hours. I don't think I can possibly survive an entire day without buying anything - including food. I believe that it is more important, not so much to buy nothing, but to acknowledge that we buy way too many things. I am very guilty of that. Knowing and acknowledging the problem is half the battle. Changing a mindset accustomed to crass consumerism is much more difficult.

Okay, over the last week I've noticed a disturbing thing that's been happening a lot to me lately. While at work, I get instant messages from icq and shit where people say hi to me or ask me a question and then disppear or go offline. What the fuck? It's like people want answers to their questions without having to deal with a conversation. You ask them later about it and they're like my internet connection is unstable or I got disconnected. I know I'm bitching about nothing. I guess it could be worse with people not talking to me at all. Fuck I'm a nerd.

I was walking around outside my apartment complex yesterday and I was thinking what's the deal with people that decorate the exteriors of their apartments with flashing lights well over a month before Xmas actually begins? Are they being festive? Yeah, I know. Apparently, wasting electricity is cool again (now that the Blackout warnings in california are in hiding once again). Kind of reminds me of my old roommate in the winter term. One time I remarked to him that he left one of the lights on when we were about to head out. He simply shrugged and replied "So? We're not paying for it." Classic.

SF Auto show and Berkeley pics are up. Shockingly, I'm in none of them. Hope I didn't get your hopes up.
