You know you're a loser when Elmo turns his back on you.

I didn't want my photo taken with him anyway!

I overheard two women talking as I was following on the sidewalk. One was telling the other about a guy that works in another department from her and how she has always had a slight crush on him. He approached her one day before lunch holding his electronic organizer. He told her, "I like you and would like to get to know you and I just had to delete a friend and now I have a space for your info."

Seems he had limited space in his organizer for only so many friends and now that the space became available, he wanted to add her into his life.

I wanted to hear more about this and how she felt, but I already walked a block past my destination and thought this was getting suspicious.

People out here have too much going on in their lives to make new friends or keep old ones. I've been wanting to make new friends and see old friends I've missed and this weekend two parties took place where I could make that happen. However, with the heat and humidity I've broken out in a horribly disfiguring rash.

Trying not to panic or blow things out of proportion, I got checked out for the Ebola virus. I was given a body scrub that contains some sort of acid to use while I shower and a salve to apply to the bumps. Both treatments sting.

Today the bumps have cleared!

It was possibly a heat rash or worse diaper rash. I was told it was stress related. I didn't even realize I was stressed out until I looked at the bill.

Running this acting workshop is great, but I need to get some health insurance, because I will be coming into contact with new and strange people, carriers of dangerous and rare viruses. You know actors!

While my flesh bubbled and steamed like the La Brea Tar Pits, I watched Terence Malick's, "The New World." I enjoyed the film. It's really a wonderful and beautiful film, a work of art and poetry.

I thought about it all night and even into my dreams.

Christian Bale is such a fantastic presence on screen. I had to watch, "Batman Begins" again after seeing him in this. In the extras, the DVD has a documentary on the making and Bale tells a funny prank he plays on Malick's directing style that has the crew running. He seems like such a cool guy.

I should stop writing now, because and I just talked on the phone with my sister-in-law, who politely told me I "write a lot of boring stuff."

Nice.
