I wanted to walk through the empty streets, And feel something constant under my feet

yay. postal service. but unless youre jason you probably already knew that.
listen. this city is totally fucked right now. its quiet and still, it was last night too. it's alarming me. i wish someone measured how empty this city got when people left for xmas holidays, because its like everyone just died off. and i'm lonely
so i love my new apartment. since i've moved into it (and i've only spent five nights here) i've walked somewhere every night. and last night, i missed the j church and i walked up one more block and i could take any train i wanted. and after the most boring date of my life, i was so happy i didn't have to sit and wait for the train with him for too long, because i could take any train back home i wanted. even the bums seems to have emptied out of this city. *perplexed*

a) movies are stupid ideas for first dates, but can i get a "tequila bless the coen brothers?" dude. those guys are continually amazing. i think that no one thought it was going to get better than fargo or the big lebowski, but i saw no country for old men last night, and it tickled me to the core. i wish i would have been to see it with someone that appreciated cinema a little bit better, or who had even heard of the coen brothers but still, a good watch. the only thing i have to say is west texas gives texas a bad name. i mean, people are really that simple and dull and everyone has guns and pickups, yes, but in east texas there are more tall buildings and it is greener.
b) we went to have a beer afterward, i think in hopes that conversation would ensue (which it did but the conversation was pretty depressing) and at the bar he ordered some bread and ketchup. he said he was really hungry and the bread wasn't good enough on its own. bread and ketchup. i mean, i enjoy quirky as much as the next super nerdy female programmer, but are you kidding me?!?
c) he's afraid to use osx because it seems too challenging. its like the most intuitive os in the world. whatev. he asked if i had ever used dos, and alerted me that there were special commands that you could use to find out about your computer. like he was giving me some kind of lesson. this made me laugh, i don't think he understood why.
d) i couldn't find nothing to say, so i kept talking about java, which i knew he didn't get but i kept going on about anyway because the alternative was so much more dull.

i dont even know why i agreed. we dont have any similar interests. i make bad decisions. anyway, i think you guys like to know more about my terrible dates than my fabulous ones, so that's all i have today.
*devon*
