So, my day of retail therapy did not proceed as planned. I went
to the Mall.
I went in with minimal expectations. I had a goal of picking up
some Lancome
and looking for shoes, purse, clothes. Pretty simple, right? Oh
mais non! The mall itself is decent looking. Its really bright and
clean inside. The stores, however are circa 1999 and half the size
- or less - of stores in the Atlanta malls. They had an Express,
which usually can be counted on for trendy clothes that pass for
cool. It was the old concept Express though. The kind with all the
french stuff and weird decor. I totally felt like I was back in
high school. Le Sigh.
Anyway, I sought solace at Macy's and scored the Lancome I needed,
and the counter chick was breath takingly gorgeous and extremely
helpful and friendly. I stopped by the Mac counter, Christian Dior
and Chanel. I didn't really see anything I wanted. Ugh. I ventured
to Victoria's Secret.
I can't even go into the sad state of affairs that were to be witnessed
at the venerable VS. They had nothing, just racks of boring blah-ness.
It became obvious very quickly that the retail establishments in
Reno are getting shafted by corporate. Another deduction emerged
as I perused what was to be my shop-a-holic heaven... I will be
doing a lot of shopping online. |

Just so busy. Busy,
busy... all around... Reno? I haven't done a proper update in
a while. I have this issue with an aesthetic text ratio. It has
to not only say the right thing, but look right as well. A lot of
people have asked about quoting my mini-rant on hollywood, and a
few other text pieces on the site. Feel free, just drop a link back
to me, please. Pictures are not allowed to be stolen, however.
I have a lot of things to say, just not much time to say them. I
met up with the kids last night. I like them all, they make me laugh.
Amber does DDR drunk. The fact that people I know actually do [play?]
DDR is disturbing, the fact that they do it well, also disturbing,
but the fact they do it well while drunk... oh my.
I'm going in for a bit of the retail therapy in a moment. I'll
return and tell you how it went. I've already done a bit of online
therapy. But really, you're never cured if this is your method
of self-medication. You know, give me a break. I don't do anything
bad, I live the life of a fricking saint. Its true!

Well, I can't hold my tongue any longer. I'm sorry.
I'm watching the Oscars on television. They always give awards to
huge blockbuster movies that I've never seen. The stars parade around
in a collective millions of dollars worth of clothes and jewelry.
They take their honors and use the time to make political statements.
Why do these people think they are qualified to make assessments
about the state of our country when their primary focus in life
is singing and acting? Most of them do not even have college educations,
much less hold high level degrees from respected schools in policy
studies, international affairs or political science. Cher dropped
out of high school in 9th grade, Martin Sheen couldn't pass the
entrance exam into the University of Dayton. They're extremely vocal
anti-Bush haters.
Its so easy to condem something that you're so far removed from.
They have huge mansions and personal body guards and watch television
in between shooting takes for their movie which will pay them $20
million.
Dear Hollywood,
You are far less qualified to make statements of opinion about
our current situation than even I am. Please shut the fuck up
and go back to dressing like whores, making billions of dollars
and being uneducated hypocrites. If you feel that you ARE in
fact qualified, and even, MORE qualified than our elected leaders
to make foreign policy decisions, then I urge you to get a staff
and start a campaign for next year's elections. Perhaps you
can follow in the footsteps of one of your own, the venerable
Ronald Reagan. He was a hollywood star and look at all the great
things HE did for us.
Regards,
Sherrod

My SF trip was super fun and totally a short little drive. Yea!
I didn't take many pictures, but I will post them soon. I went to
the dog park with Justin and Nixon and went to a party where I saw
Polymorfeth and met his friend Greg whom I totally <3 to the
max.
Now, pay attention:
GirlVinyl: I need a favor
Chicago: anything
GirlVinyl: Heh.
GirlVinyl: Wow.
GirlVinyl: good answer.
GirlVinyl: come fix my computer
Chicago: Do you want to talk about
why the openbsd diva thinks she needs a midwestern boy to help fix
her computer?
GirlVinyl: yes
Listen up gentlemen...
Please witness how he totally makes me swoon. This is good technique.
Its made even better by the fact that he has no clue how weak it
makes me. Sigh. It was foolish of me to even give the insinuation
of competition - there is none. |

Mmmmm, soda!
Re: work.
I love it. The people I work with are awesome geniuses. But they
are not just genius - they're funny too! Its great, and I'm quite
happy. Erin wanted me to write about him, check out his website.
Its funny. Anyway, the kids at work are totally awesome and I heart
them with all my <3++ to the max.
Re:reno
I went on a phone stroll around the grounds yesterday with Dr. Lecter.
This place is huge and has all kinds of strange little ponds and
fountains randomly placed throughout. I really do love it. Its so
beautiful. I need to get in the pool. I also saw the koi pond. I
wonder if Suede would jump in there and try to catch fish if she
lived here.
Re: clubbing
I had planned to go out tonight, but I just couldn't make it.
I went to RLUG
after work, which conveniently holds its meetings in the conference
room a mere 15 feet from my desk. Sam gave a stirring overview
of the OSI model! HA! He makes me laugh. He also tricks me a lot.
Re: SF
I don't feel so bad about not going out because I'm going to go
to San Francisco this weekend and visiting hep
and maybe pollymorfeth!
I want to see Chris too, maybe I can convince him to come save
me again. I fear getting in a car accident. I hope my Atlanta
guerilla driving tactics can help me out on the Earthquake-and-hippie-ridden
terrain.

Well, the Reno 2600 kids are supremely fabulous! I love them. One
of the guys from work was at the 2600 thing - so, about work, I
love it! The people I work with are awesome! Yea! I'm super lucky.
God, if only Atlanta and the se2600 could get this kind of connection
going, it would be a lot more productive and a lot less hostile.
The 404 group suffers from over aggression and severe egomania.
I believe it comes from being made fun of mercilessly in highschool.
Heh. Its true.
One of the guys from 2600 emailed me about the goth
night here in Reno. It looks decent. I'll go next week. I'm
dying for an 80s night. I need to rock so bad, its killing me. Is
that too much too ask? God, just give me a little Morrissey and
some Book of Love, a bit of Durran Durran and I'll be just fine,
promise. Speaking of goth crap, I got my plane tickets and registered
for Convergence9
today. I've got Heather and Andrew in the room with me at the Flamingo.
Our 4th roommate is still up in the air. I'm excited about seeing
them and creating Havoc in LV.
I'm playing with friendster.
I'm not completely sure how I feel about it yet. We'll see. I'm
sort of missing home and my friends. Its a Saturday night and I'm
in my huge, gorgeous apartment all alone. Sigh. I really miss my
doggie! My mom is keeping her in Atlanta, and giving me several
times daily reports by email and phone on how the little mongrel
is doing. Reno is awesome, so far. The weather is amazing. Its always
bright and sunny. Beautiful blue skies and puffy white clouds...
plus those big huge mountains everywhere you look. Crazy. I talk
to people everywhere I go, if I get the chance, just to see what
the locals say about things. I met this big huge Great
Pyrenees named Napoleon at the 2600 meeting. He was so lovely
and kept pushing into me with the side of his body so I'd pet him.
His owners were really nice and told me a lot about Tahoe and recommended
some places I should go.
I got mentioned on Instapundit
which rocks! From there I found the link to Ken
Layne's site. He has also recently moved to the Biggest Little
City. His site is hilarious and is a much better read for Reno funny
haha time than mine is.
Mmmm, the things I do for love. |

Reno 26oo meeting tomorrow. Its at some mall, in the food court.
I don't know what time. I guess I will just go there after work.
My first social event. Heh. I AM SO LAME!
Speaking of lame... if you search google for "I
hate Theo" and OpenBSD - my site is the only one that comes
up. |

My dad left at 5:00 this morning. That means I'm in a city where
I know no one but the people I work with, and my closest friend
is like a 4 hour drive away. Remember, flights
arriving daily. Scary. However, we all know my mantra "Everybody
loves a mystery."
I hate men. I'm going to SF next weekend. |

Went and saw LOTR: Two Towers today. I hadn't seen it yet, I'm not
so into the LOTR. The films are ok, but I've never read the books
or anything. I would like to mention however that Legolas is one
serious bow-weilding elven. Day-um! I love it when he kills those
orc things. Sigh. Hotness to the Nth.
Speaking of hotness - Reno keeps impressing me. I don't even want
to leave the apartment unless I'm all dressed up because there will
invariably be an opportunity for me to hit on the veritable myriad
of unfunf local hotness.
I used to lament my singleness and have to remember all the things
I didn't have to compromise. Like, I can have pulp-free orange
juice and I get to make all my own life altering decisions and
not worry about it ruining the life of my significant other. I
get my big, fluffy marshmallow-esque bed all to myself. I get
to cater to my own tastes all the time and I don't ever have to
pretend to be pleasant when I don't feel like it. Living in Reno,
so far has proven that all I have to do to be thankful for being
single is walk around and shop. Heh.

I wish someone would come over and help me unpack. I don't even
really need help, I just need someone to sit there and talk to me
while I do it. The West is so different from the South. Lots of
little differences. Everyone is SO nice I can't believe it. Opening
doors for strangers and saying hello to people. I haven't seen a
general public this nice since I was in London. And I know I've
already mentioned the hot boys, but christ... it seems to never
end.
I took a swim in my giant tub today. Good thing I know how to tread
water or I would've drown. That thing is huge. I love my apartment,
its just lovely. Reno is very different from I imagined. It has
all kinds of stuff, and I dont think I'll have too much of a problem
finding thing things I need. ie good salons, a MAC counter, cool
computer stuff and fetishistic office supplies. I just need to figure
out what the best places are, and if there are things hiding from
me.
I have to work on monday. I haven't said that in 9 months. Not making my own
schedule will be a change, but I'm completely drooling over the
impending geekness I'll get to enjoy. Mmmmmmmm much networky fun.
I reserved the room for C9 last night, and have confirmation from
Heather, Butch and Andrew. I need to get my ticket still and look
into airfare. I'm so very excited. I think its going to be super
awesome. And in my native state even!
