>I downloaded phonebooth thinking it was photobooth. I expected “man who falls in love with a woman and her family after developing her pictures” with Robin Williams, instead I got a pompous ass stuck in a phone booth by a psycho with a high-powered rifle. I’m thoroughly entertained right now, 40:00 in. I can’t see how it’ll go on for 2 hours though.
>I’m writing this because I’ve gotten some good news. I’m preparing my resume. I think I have one somewhere, I just need to re-write it and send it on. I have a few other qualifications since RCN — so need to add those, besides I think the preferred resume format has evolved a bit in 3 years. I want to gush, but I’m afraid to go into details. There’s a lot of people vying for work in this field and I’d rather wait until I know it’s a sure thing before I go blabbing. For now — I’ve gotten a…
>Well things are OK with the site — stated things in a very business like fashion, gave a few options, and he was fine when I stopped in a bit earlier today. He wasn’t aware of how much was involved with the site, I’ll take that as a compliment that I make it look easy. I’m poor, I’ve been paying for food the past couple days with change. I just finished up my Wendys and I don’t think I’ve ever eaten so much for $3 =] I ain’t too proud to give $3 in nickels, dimes, and quarters to the…
>I found a handy little page with many handy programs and utilities. I don’t think I can handle this rejection. All the work I’ve done for this god damn site… and he’s stuck on the spots. How long ago did I show him the prototype, and he’s waited until now to say something? I can’t show what extraordinary blend of form and function can be presented via the web if I make it like any other site. I’m in the process of formulating how I want to handle this. Granted, we have an agreement — I underestimated how long it…
>I got a bunch done today on the FinishLineGFX.com site, so I figured a break was in order. I had some left over coins from the Namco arcade, and Kahunavilla as well. I was hoping to play the boxing game until I could stand no more. Unfortunately it’s no longer in the Namco arcade — but I did get to play it @ Kahunaville. I got even further this time — round 5, I think? It was the one right before “The Champ”. I got the full workout, from skiing to boxing, to firing a giant gattling gun with a…
>I seem to be eating up hard drives lately. Do I dare blame the pirated movie? Everything was going along fine until I played it once. My D drive has apparently died. It’s the temp drive, filled with all the yummies I’ve gotten lately from bit-torrent, and the ISO files of a few DVDs I had yet to burn — nothing major, but I’m still gonna miss the the data that was on it. I’m pretty sure it’s another Western Digital. I’m getting really sick of this, returning drives instead of having them work forever like they used to. I’m…
>** W A R N I N G ** updated: 05/21/04 OGG files, or it may only be Serial Experiments: Lain specifically seem to have done something to my computer, I restored back to 2 days ago and it was fine, no extra buggies in the registry. I worry I may have gone too far. It’s a trap, they’re making it easily accessable to sneakily infiltrate controlling robots into your computers. Don’t take these strangers “candy”. Stick to your FTP servers, where at least the women and children are safe. Run accross any OGG video files in your bit-torrenting? This…
>I’m not sure what I’m doing right now. I’m still up, can’t sleep. I’m not hot… occasionally hearing the A/C go on upstairs… BAWOOOOOOooooooom… into a steady hum. My futon is getting more and more uncomfortable. I’m thinking I need a UPS to keep the PC safe in the living room, the power keeps going out when everything’s on and the A/C kicks in, bad for the computer. Everything’s on the same circuit… thinking what I can do to change the setup. From running extension cords, to outfitting with a UPS, my mind is trying to solve this issue and…
>Here I sit covered in paint… a day well spent. I woke up about 5:30 this morning on Stefan’s couch. The TV was still on, and the juicer infomercial was going full force. I drove home, and slept till about 10 or so which is early for me on a Sunday. I showered, dressed, and began cleaning full force. Well — good enough, got the 3rd floor TV room (smoking lounge) all spic and span, put up a new bamboo-like window shade. Much more light gets in now, and it certainly looks better then that dingy old shade that was…
>I just got back from Six Flags! I was in the midst of washing my car (finally — it’s been getting grodier and grodier every day) when Allison called me. She had just gotten out of work and “wanted to play”. I was game, I love spur of the moment adventures. So finished up, and she arrived shortly thereafter. A quick change of clothes — and we were out. My first trip to Six Flags (Riverside) in I’d say about 3 or 4 years. I didn’t go on much but I did make it to the teacups, the giant sphere…
>sidenote: on the way to pick up my car (thank Ken!) I discovered pictures of me and Jamie’s cousin in my pocket. They were from one of those photobooths with the 4 pictures, I forgot we had taken them… big surprise there. I’ll post em 😉 Other points of interest: – we got 3rd place in the triva game @ Hooters, I even have a bulbous keychain to show for it – missed class today – lost my visor – think I ruined a perfectly good pair of white shorts
>Wow — first of all Blogger’s all different now. Didn’t see that coming, though I suppose I should have given that they’ve got the money behind them now. =] It looks good, in that generic soft-drawing computer graphics kind of way, like XP. I woke up this morning on the couch, covered in blood, and moderately sick. I’m not exactly sure what happened but here I am. I went out to my friend Jamie’s birthday party. We started at Hooters, ended up at Kahunaville… and man was it packed. I had quite a few of the large beers, sung karioke…
>The word pretentious came up the other day. I looked it up and realized that you could say someone who is “frunt’n/fronting” is pretentious. Claiming to be of higher class, worthy of more merit then money. It’s a misrepresentation of higher status or importance. Yeah, so? :]~ Here’s one of my favorites, from Ogle.com and here’s another. I’m hungry.
>A result of Google Guessing: some cool 3D graphics, trying variations on google.com =] I didn’t celebrate Cindo De Mayo at all today, but I had a Corona last night @ 11:25, if that counts. I stopped at Unos after a bit of driving around, was hoping to meet up with people, but no one was around. Thus I stopped to grab some food, a beer, and had the Corona w/ lime in honor of the holiday. I just realized the Arby’s oven mit is actually Tom Arnold. Just listen to the voice, certainly sounds like him.
>I went to Amherst today with Jon. It was a beautiful afternoon. We grabbed something to eat at the Amherst Brew Co, then found a nice batch of woods off of Pelam Rd to go for a walk. Its a beautiful little spot, a stream, trails going here and there through a moderately dense pine forrest… it was very relaxing. It was Sunday, so it was all relatively quiet dispite everyone milling about, enjoying the fine spring weather in town. We were even so lucky as to have caught a glimpse of a few young ladies sunning themselves on a…
