I went three whole days without so much as turning on my computer. Once I got past the twitching it was pretty relaxing.

Okay, so where was I ...

Thursday: Terrence, Tess and I went out to celebrate mine and Tess' birthdays (hers was Friday) and Tess' new promotion (which happened Thursday) and the fact that Terrence is finally accessible again. During dinner we realized that Terrence and I hadn't really done anything together for at least four years, and nobody could agree on the last time all three of us had gone out. It was nice. It was interesting to see how we all interacted with each other as adults, since we've all had time to live our lives and become different people from the ones who used to be so tight back in high school and college. Turns out that not much has changed as far as how we relate to each other. Terrence & Tess still played Spock & Bones to my Captain Kirk. I just sat back and enjoyed the bickering and the bantering and found comfort in the naturalness and the ease with which it seemed to come.

Friday: I went shopping for a webcam and in the process learned that my laptop is obsolete. I knew it was coming, but I didn't think I was there quite yet. Now I'm looking into getting a desktop. The question at the moment is whether I can afford to finance one.

Friday night I watched my "special wide-screen collector's edition" of Episode 1, then followed it with "Return of the Jedi: Special Edition." The beginning and end of Anakin's journey. It made me sad for him.

Saturday: Tess and I went to see "American Psycho," because the previews we had seen said it would be released on April 7th. Turns out it won't be released until April 14th. So we decided if we couldn't have Christian Bale, we'd take Vin Diesel (we'd both rather have him, anyway), but since neither Pitch Black nor Boiler Room have made it to the dollar movies yet, we went to my house and watched Saving Private Ryan (up until the part where Vin dies) and The Iron Giant (which made me cry like a baby). Which brings us to ...

Sunday: I overslept and didn't make it to church, so I stayed in my jammies and veged out all day. I didn't do a single constructive thing the entire day. It's been so long since I've had a day like that. It'll probably be quite a while before I get to have another one, too.
