I was ontime for work. Matt, Bobby & Bryan were there. The store was mostly dead, but we were having fun. There's this woman that comes in fairly often, and loves our Foreign, Classic, & Criterion sections. She's an older woman who's very opinionated...but horribly condescending about it. She rips into people without even trying. Well, I don't usually have a problem with her...but she was trying to tell us that a movie didn't belong in the Classics section, when it obviously did. And then when she learned that I don't love comedies, said that all young people like tragic films, but that when they get as old as her, they will grow to love the comic. I told her that I may very well learn to love comedy with age, but that I hoped I wouldn't learn to make grand generalizations about people based on their age. And then I had to walk away. The thing is, she does know a lot about film, but it's the way she chooses to express it that ruins it all.

They were going to send someone home early, and I was next in line, so off I went. I called Jeremy to let him know, as he mentioned he might have time to stop by, and I didn't want him to make the trip and then find that I wasn't there; I left him a voicemail. I went home, and started watching Basic Instinct 2, which will be released Tuesday. I stopped the movie about an hour in and took a nap. I can't sleep more than 3 or 4 hours at a time lately because of my acid reflux, so I catch sleep whenever I can.

I got up around 5:30 to go pick up Mark. I went to Meijer first to get some cranberry juice and some earplugs. I went to Mark's work, where we stayed for 40 minutes or so, because Mark was on the phone with an important client. I called Janice to find out if she had heard anything from dad. I had called our grandmother earlier in the week, and she told me dad got an apartment in Ypsi aobut a month ago, and he said he'd get in touch with her once he was settled, but he never did. I might try to tack him down tomorrow, and Mark wants to take me to Best Buy to look at my new monitor. I'm getting a new computer for my birthday, and it's got all kinds of things that I've really needed for YEARS. Mark drove us home, and I took another nap, before finished BI2, which wasn't horrible; it had some great moments, but most of it was sub par.

I ate. I set some more stuff up for Jeremy's cd. I talked to my friend Paul on the phone about recent events. He's got a lot of experience with mpd through our mutual friend Michelle, and says he has a great book for me, and will get info for me that could shed some light for me, or maybe a friend of mine, though it's too early to tell. That was really great to hear though; I knew he'd be able to hook me up.

I thought I might go out tonight, but I'm not sure now. I'll see if I can sleep first.
