People take pleasure in weird things. I am gloating because by using H&R Block's Internet tax prep software I am getting twice as much back as I was supposed to get with Tax Cut. I am also very happy, because I figured out how to download all my transactions from my credit union to Quicken (no small task, as a tech writer I'm realzing that there are bad user manuals everywhere).

Life is getting sorta stressful right now. RedStripe and I are fearing up to support our movie, and there seems to be tons of stuff that we still have to do. I feel like I'm letting my life slide a bit to do this. Of course, I'm really enjoying it too.

I keep on getting these discouraging phone calls from my friends in New York and San Francisco. I still contemplate moving there, but then they tell me about how expensive things are, how lonely they are, how they don't like their jobs and I start to doubt my reasons for wanting to move. I have made a promise to myself that I have to be happy with my life here in Austin before I can go out on any more extended adventures, whether it be time abroad or moving to a different city. I guess I spent so much time moving away and not dealing with things that unless I deal with them they're going to plague me the rest of my life.

Well, I did end up feeling better yesterday. Though I did lock my keys in my car when I went to the post office to fetch a package, everyone called me up around 5:30 wanting to do something. Strange how you can call four people on Saturday afternoon and no one is home though.

Today I am going to Easter Feaster. I'm dreading it actually. Having to have conversations for hours on end will be difficult for me. I know that I will end up enjoying myself, but sometimes I need incentive to talk with people even if I care about them.

Last night I went to the Fuzz Club to see some surf band that seemed more like a late-60s frat band. I know the Fuzz Club theme is to dress all 60s fab, but the music didn't seem to fit. Still it was good to see all my old peeps from the Dot-Com Hellhole I used to work at.

Well, I gotta do some storyboards and also make a lentil salad for the Easter Feaster. Peace.
