Myspace etc.

My myspace page is davidivus@yahoo.com - I mean, if you search with that email address, you'll find it. Otherwise the headline is just "David". That address itself is inactive.

I'm having a lot of fun adding pictures and captions and stuff to my myspace page. I put on pics of The White Stripes and the Shins' Anita Robinson - their female vocalist, and her Alabama folk group Viva Voce. It is really easy to add HTML to myspace. It really is a great site, I can see why so many people like it. Opendiary is good, but it's less social-network oriented, and that's fine. It's not supposed to be. It's an online diary. But I'll confess, I do enjoy reading notes that people leave on my entries. I think Myspace can get addictive (especially if you're horny). Every time you log out there's a picture of a really hot young chic. I don't know what message they're trying to convey with that...

Anyway, I'm still bored out here in the middle of Seattle. I suppose I shouldn't be, for that very reason - I'm in the middle of Seattle, America's greatest city. But as cool a city as it is, I have heard more than one person comment that it's a hard city to make friends in. It's hard to penetrate the little cliches, and people are a bit standoffish and shy sometimes. I am, too, and that makes it doubly hard in some ways, I guess.

Speaking of meeting people, I ran into Deb at the coffee shop - Vivace, today. It was nice. She was going to work and stopped by for a "nico", a strong little espresso drink with cinnamon and orange peel in it. We chatted and she told me about her job, what it's like working at the Des Moines library, and about how she picks some of the books that the library orders. So she reads a lot, especially young adult books, and makes recommendations. Nice girl, Deb is. Very nice. Sometimes I wonder why she likes my sister. I tend to think that she's more fond of Jesse, and is just friends with Sarah by default - because they're a together. But whatever, what do I know.

C'est la vie, la vie, la grande vie.
