I was tired today. I was so tired I took a nap at noon (just like last week) and had to drink coffee to keep from falling asleep a couple hours later. But I didn’t break my car (that I know of) and I didn’t get any bad news from my doctor. That’s tomorrow.

Yesterday I watched the movie Rififi, an old French jewel-heist movie which I would recommend. Today I received a couple more movies from GreenCine, High Fidelity and Sex, Lies, and Videotape.

I meant to see High Fidelity when it first came out but by the time it was in the cheap theatres, I was going out with someone who refused to see it with me. I was, once again, rebound-boy and her previous boyfriend had stolen a bunch of her rare punk-rock records and sold them. She thought he got the idea from the movie, which they watched together. I read the book and it’s about relationships, something I haven’t experienced recently. And there seemed to be some sort of parity in their cheating. Most cases in my geek life, the guys come out on the short end of the stick. For example, I haven’t had any luck since my ex dumped me and she’s had at least two boyfriends in the interim.

As someone who doesn’t believe in much religious or spiritual, I still use luck to explain things. That’s just because I think a lot of things are random, and if you ever study randomness you see it doesn’t look random. Consequently, you can’t tell whether things are going your way or not. I use this to explain a situation I heard about lately, where “someone” was stopped for drinking and driving, and the cop just told him to park it and gave him a ride home to an adjacent city. If it were me, I would probably have been shipped to Guantanamo Bay and deported, even though I am a citizen of these United States of America. And that’s my luck.
