It's hard to concentrate with work when I am dying to play with my Flip.

So I kind of have it.

My mom bought the wrong model. I wanted the ultra series (the latest model) and she got me the first model.

It still works the same. According to the site, it has very little difference apart from the very slight upgrade in video quality and the ultra series' optional accerssories. This one doesn't have a tripod mount so the action mount and the underwater case will not work with it.

Hey...if I manage to get extra money, I can just score the Ultra Series (or whatever model is better then) and give this away as a present.

When people ask me why I don't have kids yet I always say "I'm not ready" or "I don't want one yet." There are very few movies that make me rethink those statements and I just saw one. Raising a child can be very daunting I'm sure but I also know that bringing up another human being is one of the (if not THE) most satisfying thing one can ever do.

There. I said it.
I guess one day I will want one after all.

All in all, it was a lousy, sappy movie. But it had John Cusack and it made me cry a little bit so it worked in a sense...

When you love somebody it gets really hard
when you can't see them any more.

Wow.

I didn't expect to love it as much as I do.

It was such an oddly beautiful film but I don't expect everyone to love it. I'm not a Wes Anderson fan and I don't think I've seen anything else he's ever done but I loved this one so much.

In other news, I got off work early today and I actually drove home while there was still light out. I can't remember having done that in a very long time. I got home, had dinner, surfed, watched an episode of October Road and this movie. All that and it's only 10:30pm. I feel strangely wonderful. I wish I can get off work early like this everyday.

How am I? Tired, alone and unavoidably jaded. There is no tomorrow in my life. I live my life one day at a time. I have no plans, just glimmers of hope that speak to me. Everyday I convince myself that it will all work out in the end. Though sometimes I wonder why the "end" is taking forever to present itself.

I'm okay. Really.

I'm definitely going.

I'm a bit curious about those two open water marine habitats where you can snorkel and dive without having to go to far-flung places.
