I had to get a TB test for my current temp job of night security at an old folks home. I will be working there for the next two weeks and then be working on getting a new job. Anyway the TB test meant I had to come back in 48-72 hours. I waited and then rode the bus to get there at night again. Fine. When I came out I found the buses had stopped running, so I got to walk 2.5 miles home at 11:45 at night. I’m glad I got neither shot nor mugged.
Well, I lent Brian my Mac so he could do color correction on my film. That also means I’m without my music as well for a month as my music is on the same removable hard drive as the movie. Well, being without my nice computer I dusted off the five year old machine that was with me since I came to Denver. I’m plugging away working on it. Mostly I’m still selling everything I can afford to live without on EBay and trying hard to get a new job, as the magazine job I’ve had for a few months was a temp position and might not come back. They are trying to work it out but I haven’t heard anything new yet. So that just leaves living quietly in Denver and trying not to spend money.
Also, my father and step-mother are visiting the states and they stopped by for three days. We went to a lot of places around Denver and had a good time.
Jenny and I are taking the train back from a nice walk around the park. These two overtly and flamboyantly gay teenagers are on the train
. Outside they were loud and cajoled each other. Inside the train we sat a little away from them and didn’t talk to them. I made brief eye contact with one of them as they were loud and I just noticed them sit down. I looked out the window. End of their ride they get up, from the other side of the train and walk past two nearby exit doors to pass out the ones by me and Jenny. Out of the blue one of them looks directly at me and say, “Nerdy ass white boy.” And hopes off the train. Jenny and I were just sort of stunned. Another group of people saw it happen as well. They laughed and we talked back and forth about how strange it was. Then the train banked a corner as it was leaving and the two guys were giving me the finger from the sidewalk.
I have gay relatives so if these knuckle heads were pinning me as a homophobic misanthrope, it’s ridiculous.
Okay, so I went back in time 10 years and discovered I am in love all over again with Master of Orion 2. I found a way to play it on my current computer and I love it. You can play it online against other people as well, so if anyone happens to read this and is interested, please let me know and we’ll setup a game.
Well, here I am 3:23 AM an still unable to fall asleep even though I am tired. I’ve had a real sleeping problem the last two weeks. I can’t seem to shake it and get back to normal. Close my eyes, yawning, whole deal, just can’t skip that fence to go to sleep.
