>I wonder if anything happened this week. I’m thinking back as I realize there’s been nothing added since the 14th. No… really nothing of much consequence. We went out for another night on the town on Thursday, dinner and some pool, then video games and movies at home. I had a good time but there’s always something that happens that creates complications, such as: not remembering that you have a Hoku CD, and then betting a shot of 100 proof SoCo that you don’t. If I was teetering before, that sent me to the bottom of the well. I’m sure…
>I had a nice quiet evening last night – it was all rainy and cold so we curled up on the couch and watched Swimming With Sharks (Kevin Spacey), Sopranos, and caught the end of Comedy Central’s movie: Porn ‘n Chicken. Swimming With Sharks was rather… extreme, but it sure got the point across. I was watching Sopranos with someone who’d never seen it before so I imagine it was kind of hard to follow… I’m still somewhat lost and I’ve been watching since this season’s premier. Porn ‘n Chicken was just amusing, a decent movie overall – Comedy Central…
>There’s a bunch of stuff about terrorists in Bali, snipers in DC… not a very happy time from the looks of it. There’s a gang war escalating in Springfield (Mason Square area) with more and more stabbings, drive-bys, and general shootings. The economy is down, Al Queda supposedly have another attack ‘approved’ but that’s all the information they have. We’re about to go to war, and though it will “rally the troops” I don’t believe it’s what we need to bring the nation out of it’s slump. It’s kind of a sad time globally, locally… but things are going well…
>Yay, the week’s over for me. I get tomorrow off for all that overtime I put in. I’d rather have 3 days in a row then the money. My sanity is worth more to me. I’m currently in limbo at work because the one database that we merged everything into… is down for about an hour. =] I suppose that’s the downside to having everything in one place. I have plans to go see Red Dragon this evening. I had read the book waaaaay back and it absolutely fascinated me, I hope I can say the same for the movie.…
>I’ll put the links up pre-rambling today:: Heard the Official World’s Funniest Joke yet? Flirts… they’re only getting worse. There’s been quite a few good ideas and advances in Bluetooth. Floating around… it just takes more and more caffeine to get me going. I still have yet to catch up sufficiently on my sleep. I had a pleasant evening last night. I met up with someone after I finally got out of work, grabbed a pizza and went home to relax. We watched movies, video clips… it was nice. I realized why I don’t usually “hit it off” with people…
>Wow, talk about irony. I’m in the cable industry, work with people who have missed the techs or have other issues that come up. I got a voicemail from the satelite installer about 1… I heard *scratch* *crackle* … my way… *crackle* very important that… call me. There was no number because it was a cellphone and the number was indestinguishable when he asked me to call. Granted… I left someone else at the house. I didn’t leave the sign on the door as I intended. I wasn’t there, and because of that I didn’t really expect it to go…
>[ yesterday ] What a day for nothing to pull through. I ended up volunteering for another long weekend at work. I didn’t get the satellite install due to the weather, it probably won’t be much better tomorrow – but if it is I’ll be all set. I am also missing out on having an evening with Angela because I’m working these hours. As soon as I’m out of here I’m heading to a party. I knew of it quite some time in advance so I’m obligated to go. I want to go, who knows… might run into someone there.…
>I just realized it’s the 1 year aniversary of this site. We’ve come a long way, baby… :]~ Things are looking good, I cleaned the house a little last night – mopped the kitchen floor, dishes, swept the downstairs… floor feels good now, it hadn’t been cleaned since well before we moved in and it certainly needed it. Phil called me “mr mom”, I wish I didn’t have to be, but no one else seems to feel like cleaning up after themselves. I also helped the landlord put in a phone jack in the living room so we don’t have…
>Well I tried out XBox Live for the first time last night. I had gotten the beta kit a while back, but with no broadband access at the house currently, I haven’t been able to try it. I went over my friend’s house and tried it with his cable modem. The voice interaction is quite good, garbled in places, but overall it was like talking to someone over the phone. It has filters too, so if you’re paranoid about someone knowing your real voice, you can change it. The two games available for testing are ReVolt and NFL Fever 2003,…
>Is NY really the cause of today’s sexual freedom? Taste the Real Ultimate Power! …and a site that falls under the category of: “sounds dirty, but isn’t” Here’s a story that falls under the category of: “studies that sound dirty, and are” Some interesting info on how Google can be fooled. Ever think of marking the existance of wireless networks in public places? Apparently this whole Anthrax/West Nile thing is our (the US) fault, check out the news bubble for the full scoop.
>Here for the cellphone haikus? submit – [email] [im] Well I had a great weekend =] Friday night was a very eventful evening, I went to an older friend Dan’s birthday party. It was at the local American Legion, which may not sound like much… but there were a lot of people, all different ages. They had food, drinks at the bar… and all different kinds of music. After a few drinks I was able to get some people up and dancing. I had started the evening with plans on swooning a young lady that I had my eye on…
>Sha*ZAM! I would like to start a WAP (wireless web) section on the site:: I was writing someone a quick little note via SMS when I got an idea: cellphone poetry. It’s short, sweet, truncated for quick entry… and something to do when snake just don’t cut it. I’d like submissions to start things out, they’ll be posted in a special low bandwidth (text-only, to start) section. e-mail or im them to me Send anything you get via cell that you’d like to share, for example – I get quotes sent to my phone every day: “The best way to…
>Some might consider my zealousity for technology a downside… who am I to judge another’s? Maybe they… really like horses. That’s not a bad thing. Variety is the lice of spite… wait.. scratch that. We need to appreciate the things that make us individuals… Do you have worms crawling around inside you? Arcata Eye Police log Nintendo e-Reader
>I’m so hyper. I had one coffee… my feet will not stay still… I can’t concentrate, can’t even surf. Sad, really. I want to type and type and there’s nothing to type. So frustrating. …work, work… back to work — sing a song of * WORK * ! Astronomy Picture of the Day When Porn Gets Personal Daily Affirmation
>Well I had a damn fun weekend =] I spent Friday at the mall after doing errands and whatnot. I picked up a few things for the house and some clothes for myself. I caught the clearance racks at most places, accidentally hit a few sales… it was a good day to go. Later that evening we went hoppin in downtown Springfield. I finally saw what the big deal was with the ‘Gra, caught a shower show… interesting, though almost surreal. Since we were with my buddy, we just waltzed into most places. They knew him and didn’t even bother…
>Time has proven itself ellusive, once again. It seems that a problem in the house is that there’s so much to do. Everyone gets bored easily, too. If that’s the least of our problems, I think we’re home-free. ^-^ I spent some of last night getting the network to finally work, then of course had to test it with some fun fun multiplayer shooting goodness: Tactical Ops (Unreal Engine) & Medal of Honor (Quake Engine). Tactical Ops is really quick, much like Swat 3, Medal of Honor’s levels are too big for 3 people, and it’s easy to get taken…
>Another day, another 8 hours here at work. I got a new cellphone – Motorola P280. The advent of GPRS technology is upon us, it’s only 2.75 extra a month (1mb transfer, 40 cents each additional mb) for the data with Voicestream/T-Mobile. I was sucessfully able to dial up via iR from my laptop @ 9.6k, so it’s not required to use with a Palm or laptop. I don’t quite know the details yet, but I imagine you should be able to get 40-50k via GPRS. I got a call yesterday from the Satelite internet installer. The dish is going…
>Whoo dilly. Thurs/Fri/Sat off and it did me well. All the stress of the past 2 weeks chilled and slept away. I woke up, hopped out of bed, and was off to a good start. Starting off on a Sunday makes it a bit easier, I kind of ease into the week. I’ll be starting my new 9:30-6pm schedule as of next Sunday, get out a bit earlier. I’ve bought a winter beater – 89 Mercury Tracer. It’s a little hatch back, 4 cyl, standard — should be fun. Note to self: next time you get a computer desk, pay…
>Nothing much interesting since last entry. It’s really hard without having internet at home. I keep wanting to get the satellite going, I’m sure everyone else in my house does as well — however, I’m waiting on my credit cards to make sure I’m not digging too deep of a hole. No one else seems to understand that, and as soon as I refrain from spending some money on a seemingly superfluous thing… I’m a scrooge. I had a really crazy dream last night, very vivid and full of feeling. I was going on a vacation “it’s a cabin right…
>Well I’m here at a big data entry party of sorts here at work. I worked 12 hours yesterday, again today, and hopefully a little less tomarrow. We are really ahead as of yesterday, but a whole bunch of orders can come in overnight – so we’ll see how things look tomarrow. Why do I mention this? It’s most likely one of the factors that is driving me to maddness. Ok… a tad dramatic, but I’m good for that. I haven’t slept much in the past week, and I’m currently sitting in my chair with a large rubber ball, voodoo…
