People suck. People who for some reason became mean and unfriendly, and changed their behavior, for no discernable reason. I don't understand. Bah.

Went to the American Idol Christmas Special taping in Pasadena. Clay was most triumphant. He has just so come into his own as a performer, it's magnificent to watch. Afterwards, a bunch of people from the Clackhouse and myself went next door to the Sheraton Hotel and had drinks in the bar. It's very cool to hang with people who share the obsessive interest. Most of the friends I made through Haven were my age, but it's strange, because a lot of people I know through Clay are much older than I am. We had a great time, and I'm very much looking forward to the AMAs in two weeks.

Halloween was fun. We've had cooler weather the past few days, and last night it was in the 50s with this light drizzly rain thing, and it was just the perfect mood for The 'Ween. Caroline and I went to see Pirates again, and it was super-cool how the entire crowd applauded and cheered when Johnny Depp first appeared on screen. That movie is just so awesome, and I think it's in large part to Depp's just inspired performance. I would love to see him get a nomination for it.

Caroline's computer is having problems. The operating system won't boot. She's despondant, y'all. Send her good vibes. I'll demonstrate:

*closes eyes, wriggles fingers in the general direction of LA, and shouts "Good vibes!"*
