Concern

I haven’t posted much in the recent weeks, but I’m feeling pleased (not happy, but pleased), so here’s what’s been happening recently:

I sold my old car. I put it up on craigslist on Saturday afternoon, and someone bought it Sunday morning. I now have cash money and I don’t need to worry about parking it (and moving it every 72 hours). Yay.

I bought a piece of art. I decided to become a software engineer, and not an artist, so being able to buy neat pieces of art is the consolation prize. I like this piece, because I like both “errors” we see in media like film and digital images, and I like the aesthetics of thin, dark rectangles separated by little gaps (I obsessed a little over this in high school/beginning college, when I still wanted to be an art student). I also see little glimpses of things, which of course, only inhabit my own head, when I glance at the piece; those things disappear quickly, though, but I enjoy their brief appearance.

I went to see The Departed this evening. It’s a good movie, even though everyone gets shot in the head at the end. They need to find a way to clone Jack Nicholson, because the world will just Not Be Right without him in it.
