File Under: Neuroses, Michael's

I like receiving compliments, but at the same time I'm horribly uncomfortable with them. I'm trying to train myself to just thank the person who gives it and be done with it, but the embarrasment is still there.

I almost forgot!

devafall, genre-crack peddler that he is, showed us a preview for a movie coming September 19th, Underworld.

Oh. Dear. Gods. I must see this. I WILL see this. Wow. As Deva put it, it's a Tim Bradstreet illustration come to life. Very cool-looking.

Of course, like all things, it'll either be superb or craptastic . . . but it will be fun.

Mike's gaga over a new guy, one much more suited to him. Yay for him!

I need a bath. Not the kind where you get clean, but the kind where you say "Fuck the world" and just soak.

My habit is to fill the tub by candlelight, with some herbs and/or oils dropped into it at the right time. The bath is drawn hot, hotter than any of my friends would like, hotter than anyone I know has ever been able to handle. Incense is lit as the tub fills; the Japanese kind I love and can never recall the name of.

When the bath is ready, then and only then do I step into it, and sink into the wonder of cleansing heat. I'm as equally likely to blow the candle out and steep myself in darkness as I am to meditate on the candle, remembering the ( lesson of the flame. )

At any rate . . . I need one. Pity all my bathstuff is packed.

I seem to be having this terrible difficulty with my lifestyle . . .

Every time I boot Winamp up while running something else, the desktop crashes, necessitating reboot.

I do not like this. And it's a new issue, to boot. I used to be able to run all sorts of stuff while WinAmp played.
