I went to the Games Developers Conference yesterday hoping to see the only title I care about, Tribes 2, but alas, Sierra Studios wasn't even there. I did get to sit through a 90-minute workshop on how to design a realistic-looking human head. It was like watching C-SPAN for geeks. I just didn't realize that much thought went into things like that. I must say, it made me feel a little guilty for not playing more games. The funny thing is, the process is exactly what I imagined for my screenplay, Gameboys. I really need to rewrite that script and start pitching it, espacially since I now have connections in the indie film world.

Speaking of geeky things, I may buy a new computer this weekend. The P III's with 128 M and built-in CD writer have finally fallen to under $1,000, so now's the time. I'll need a faster machine to play Tribes 2 anyway. Woo-hoo! I love new computers, as sad as that is.

Now the dilemma -- do I go to Santa Cruz or play with the new toy?

Unbelievable. Could the Republicans be any further in the pocket of big corporations? I don't know whether to be more angry at these brazenly greedy businesses, the willfully ignorant politicians or the cabbage-heads who voted for Ralph Nader.

My life has hit rock bottom; I actually laughed out loud watching 7th Heaven tonight.

Rolling blackouts are back, baby! This is not a good harbinger of summer. If I suddenly go offline this afternoon, you'll know why.

Does Ralph Nader still think there's no difference between Democrats and Republicans? How about now? Well what about this? God bless the GOP -- always looking out for the interests of the rich and powerful.

Today I made it to church on time for the first time ever since I moved. It's a spring miracle!
