I have no problems letting go, really...

Last night was rather brutal. I took off early to go home and finish removing my personal files from my old Twinhead laptop, the first one I've ever purchased for myself, as I was giving it away to a woman I barely know but who could really use it. I didn't think it would be such a big production, but I've gotten a lot of mileage out of that little machine and didn't realize how many files I had on it nor how emotionally attached I was to it until last night. I used to spend hours on it working on CAPT, into the wee hours of the morning, composing long emails to the Executive Committee about the ideals and goals and grand meaning of the organization. I'm sure they loved me for that.

Daniel Hu at Citibank actually helped me to purchase it. One of the benefits of my working at Citibank O&T was that my computer needs were always attended to, including the effort of having to reinstall everything with English-language software. Though I really disliked my job there, I had a lot of fun with my IT colleagues (wink wink). Anyway, it was weird to let that computer go. An unexpected feeling. By then it was 11 p.m. and Charmed was on t.v. Laurie, Adella and I have become totally addicted to it. It's our bonding hour.

What kind of person is Aaron Spelling really?

Had I never created this little HeyChristine.com website of mine, I would have never (I don't think) looked at photos and backdrop settings in the way that I do now. All of sudden the "visuals" play a key role in things. It's pretty cool. Gus is probably rolling his eyes reading this, he's been trying to knock this concept in my head for the longest time.

I never had any reaction to Aaron Spelling either. I did enjoy some of the shows he produced, but I never got into it enough to be so preoccupied by it. However, this Charmed series has really gotten my attention big time. The reason why is because the story line is really very STUPID, and yet Spelling clearly knows what people want in a show and knows exactly how to make it happen. Why is that?

Why are Laurie, Adella, myself, and a whole lot of other people in this world so drawn to that show? When Adella first described it to me, I not only thought it was the dumbest story line I've ever heard in my entire life, I also started to think that maybe my roommate was a little queer and that I should keep some distance. I can just picture Adella laughing as she reads this. Adella stop it!

But after watching it a few times, I'm beginning to understand Aaron Spelling, and HIS understanding of human nature, a little more. And I find the entire phenomenon very, very, interesting. Of course the "sex sells" concept applies here as it does in everything else that surrounds us, but there's a lot more involved. I do believe that I will learn a lot as I further develop this website. Spelling is one person I would really like to meet one day.

On that note, I've come to the conclusion that I am not normal. Why can't I just focus on shopping and men and PRADA bags? Dunno... I guess because I don't know much about any of the above. Had lunch with Wennie today, here's a shot we took after we got back from Starbucks. Now HER colleague's in love with my digital camera too. Heh heh.
