Okay, can somebody answer me this question: how, on a notebook keyboard, can someone get to the very top or the very bottom of a document? I know on a regular keyboard it’s shift page up, or shift page down. *sigh* That’s my only complaint about this lil’ computer, and admittedly it’s a small one, a matter of re-learning the keys.

Last night I saw Water at one of the few theaters that show indie/foreign flicks. I hadn’t been to this particular theater in probably five years and I’d always been driven there by my former friend (she was the one who was so dominating and derisive that I had to cut her loose). Anyway, it’s located in a tricky place, hard to get to from the freeway, so yeah, I got lost. I imposed upon some security people who very kindly helped me out. Back to the movie, at the end I wasn’t so sure I was glad to have seen it. The print was crappy quality, which is irritating. I guess it was a bit depressing. I don’t know. I was the only one in the theater, which was very creepy.

Received Midas Touch Jac from a wonderful doll dealer, not the aforementioned one, whose issue is still unresolved, by the way. I always get that song in my head, the one from the 80’s, “Midas Touch” by Midnight Star. I’ve got it on MP3. Okay, I’m playing it now. Corny be-bop song, I know, but I used to dance like crazy back then. When I dance I’m truly happy, but I don’t do it now because I’m so out of shape that I can’t keep it up for long. Anyway, I wanted that Midas Touch Jac so I could keep her outfit and repaint and sell the doll. *Need money, need money, need money.* What else is new.

Know what I hate? Those character strings you have to type in order to send an email. I have no problem doing it and am pleased at any attempt to prevent spam, but make the characters legible, please! What’s the point if I can’t read them?

Something else that irritates me is when legitimate email gets shuffled to the bulk folder. I have to check it prior to emptying it, and thank gawd I did today, because I got an important reply from the doll company regarding the aforementioned issue. Jeez. The company seems to have come through, but I remain deeply dissatisfied with the lack of customer service from the retailer and will post my story publicly for everyone to read.

The adult son of a friend of mine is getting married to a woman who is really beneath him. Ugh. I feel sorry for my friend, because there’s nothing you can do in that case; any words to the negative will only spur conflict. It’s my impression that the son, who’s a bit shy and nerdy, was ensnared. The woman is considerably older, has three young kids, and a psychotic ex who stalks her. I’ve encountered her once and she didn’t leave much of an impression: her personality is nil, she’s skinny and attractive in an overplucked kind of way. Probably that guy’s first piece of ass. I hope I’m wrong. But I don’t think so. You just have to shake your head, y’know?
