yesterday for lunch i had:

i’m not sure where exactly i saw this, but yesterday i saw somebody talking about [url=http://www.objectdock.com]object dock[/url] and i have to say that i love it. i have ALWAYS loved OS X’s taskbar and have been eagerly awaiting for some kind of windows clone.

you gotta hand it apple. in terms of GUI design, they have always been ahead of the game. it’s a good thing that for us windows folks people are out there to steal apple’s innovations so we can all enjoy in the fruit of their labor.

And now I’m all alone again
Nowhere to turn, no one to go to
Without a home, without a friend
Without a face to say hello to
And now the night is near
Now I can make believe he’s here

Sometimes I walk alone at night
When everybody else is sleeping
I think of him and I’m happy
With the company I’m keeping
The city goes to bed
And I can live inside my head

On my own
Pretending he’s beside me
All alone
I walk with him till morning
Without him
I feel his arms around me
And when I lose my way I close my eyes
And he has found me

In the rain the pavement shines like silver
All the lights are misty in the river
In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight
And all I see is him and me forever and forever

And I know it’s only in my mind
That I’m talking to myself and not to him
And although I know that he is blind
Still I say, there’s a way for us

I love him
But when the night is over
He is gone
The river’s just a river
Without him
The world around me changes
The trees are bare and everywhere
The streets are full of strangers

I love him
But every day I’m learning
All my life
I’ve only been pretending
Without me
His world would go on turning
A world that’s full of happiness
That I have never known

I love him
I love him
I love him
But only on my own

it hurts to blink.

i made a batch of cookies last night thinking that it would be good to have some for tonight’s volleyball tournament. it turns out that i forgot some key ingredients while making the cookies because i was distracted watching dawson’s creek. the cookies turned out gross and it looks like i may have to try again tonight. we’ll see. i was pretty exhausted after making the cookies last night to only find that they were gross so i’m not sure if i really have the desire or will to try another batch tonight.

tonight is the start of the big volleyball playoffs.

oh man…i didn’t realize that there were 6 seasons of dawson’s creek! only seasons 1-4 are out on DVD! the horror! the horror! how could i relive all of the days of dawson’s if they aren’t out to rent! so sad.

this, coupled with the news that my new LCD has a dead pixel is about all the bad news i can take today.

i was a little early to meet up with [url=http://jimmy.ocliw.com]jimmy[/url] and diana for sushi tonight so that’s why i’m bumming around at this cafe. getting a nice drink of coffee and just relaxing from a sort of stressful week. i’m not sure what it was about this week, but there was something about it that was just tiring.

and do you want to know what my mind drifted to?

do you? do you?

i have a dead pixel on my new LCD.

it makes me sad.

i need help.

i’m sitting in a cafe in downtown campbell called [url=http://www.orchardvalleycoffee.com]orchard valley coffee[/url]. it is one of the bigger cafes i’ve seen in a long whlie. complete with free wireless internet, this is my kind of cafe. open until 9pm on sunday-tuesday and until 10pm on every other night.

it attracts a rather eclectic crowd rangind from students to old chess players. kind of a nice place to hang out, though they don’t have as many outlets as one would hope.

[url=http://www.track15.com/blog/archives/2005/02_24.html#000493]dardy[/url] poses an interesting question today.

so here’s a moral question for you folks. if you knew that a guy was total scum and dating someone innocent and unknowing, are you in any position to tell the new girlfriend? does it depend on your relationship to the girl?

i think that you are under no moral obligation to say anything to anyone, but i think that a lot of how you deal with this really depends on your relationship with the people involved.

for example, if you are friends with the guy, but don’t know the girl, then as a friend, you should not really say anything to anyone. but, if you are friends with the girl, then things get a little bit more complicated.

if i am good friends with the girl, then i think that i would be inclined to talk to the girl and just warn her about things that i’ve heard about. what the girl does with that information is up to her, but you’ve done all that you can.

if you only casually know the girl, then i don’t think you are in a position to really say anything. wouldn’t it be kind of weird if someone who you only casually knew started telling you about someone who you have just started to date? sort of sounds like stalker-like behavior to me.

now, if the girl asks you about the guy, that’s a whole different story. you could probably mention ceratin things to her to clue her in on what kind of a guy he is. but outright just telling her would be weird, i would think.
