I don't think I've announced this publicly yet… but… my dad recently purchased a MacBook for me and I've now converted to a Mac user. No kidding. Maybe that's why I still can't get my head over that Gates/Seinfeld commercial… because, you know, Apple's own Mac vs. PC ads are actually funny, whereas that "New Family" fiasco left me feeling weirded out and personally embarrassed for Gates and Seinfeld. It didn't even have anything to do with computers…

I'm sick and tired. I hate food, I hate food…

And I mean I hate the food itself… rice, tofu, vegetables… these days I find myself despising whatever I put in my mouth… even that Nesquik strawberry milk, to a certain extent…

I watched The Fifth Element last night just for the thrill of it, even though it was 3:00 am and I was supposed to be doing homework. I remember seeing snippets of it when I was younger. A very visually striking film. It was, anyway, surprisingly good considering it's an older science-fiction film. My favorite part was the Diva's operatic performance… the sudden shift from classical to operatic pop as the concert became background music for the battle between Leeloo and those nasty aliens… lovely. Bruce Willis was an excellent futuristic cab driver turned government agent, and Milla Jovovich — I didn't even know she was in this movie — was quite different from what I remember in Ultraviolet. Did you know she's multilingual? Yes, she speaks English, French, Russian, and Serbian… all fluently. It makes me want to rush out and rent all of her other films to deposit on my shrine, and simultaneously kick myself in the face. Multilingual! I — need — to — learn — more — languages. Goddammit America is such a foreign language-phobe. I need to leave this place. Goddammit.

In TV Land: Season premiere of House tomorrow. The new episode of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles left more questions than answers today. It's a little dismaying to see new characters being introduced all of a sudden… I was quite happy with the "original" gang. Man, Derek Reese… is such a cool guy. I love the way he looks… and his suspicion and aversion to "machines"… ha ha.
