Friday, -- --- came out to visit me for the weekend, we met jon --- ------- at avalon in hollywood. Fun stuff. --- ------- ------- -- --- ----- -- ---- -- ---- ---, --- - -------- ---- ---- ----- --- ---- ----- --- ----. Jon now refuses to hang out with me. Pussy.

Saturday, -- --- and I went down to Hermosa beach after a fun little incident involving jon, myself, --- ---------. We spent the day down there by all those fun bars in a row. Watched the UFC fight. Fucking Brock Lesnar. Boo!

Sunday, we went to Santa Monica to watch football at Big Dean's right by the pier, and had lunch at the end of the pier at that mexican place. Then to the airport and I went home on the metro. Nice.

Monday, I'm running so much that my body feels like it is going to fail me. Matty, Brandon and Jon all over, they run into this girl Jon knew at the gas station. She was hilarious, singing like Cher, sounding like a Puerto Rican. Fun girl. Hopefully Jon did something.

My buddy from Miami by way of Chicago is in LA this weekend! Melissa! Huzzah! We are going to go see Dara on Thursday. Fuck Yeah!

I'm going home to Chicago for Thanksgiving and Christmas, for a whole week after Christmas.


My life is pretty good right now.


Oh yeah, and the new job is fancy and awesome.

trekking down to irvine tonight. gladly.

Everyone here at UMG is very polite. Its nice.

god damn it give me something to do!!!

AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

I just had the 10th wrong number call in the last week.

This one called back just to make sure.


wtf?

Enough of living like a college student. I'm going to fix everything damn it.

If self improvement is masturbation, I'm busting out the lube.

Friday, went out with dave and his friends from new york to this bar where I was one of 5 people there who were not asian. Fun place. Got bottle service and everything. I forget the name of the place but its right across the street from the arclight. I keep waking up with phone numbers in my phone and having no idea how they got there. Needless to say, I blacked out a bunch last week. Anyways I usually ask Dave who these people are and he fills me in. He was no such help this time. I actually have a few people like that in my phone, some of whom I have plans to meet up with. Adventure!

Saturday Crash, you know.


Sunday hung out with Rochelle and a few of her friends here in the valley. - ------ ---- -- ----- ------ ---- --- ---- ---, --- ---- --- --- ---- --- ---- ----. - ---- ---- -----.


Now this new job is the r0x. There are departments that do all my grunt work for me. Which I guess is good and bad. Good because I get more money for less work, but bad because I acutally enjoy doing that stuff.

I also wont be able to do any actual work for a while. The laptop they gave me has a cracked LCD and I wont get access to the systems for like a week. Crazyness. Although I am stoked about getting the RSA Secureid thingy. Universal seems like a really really cool place to work. The building is super nice, and my title makes me feel important every time I look at it, "Senior Linux Administrator". Nice.

Today I'm meeting up with an internet girl who I'm actually really excited to meet, she lists her self as someone like me, a nerd that parties.


-- --- -- ------ --- -- ----- -- --- -- ----- ------------ ---- -------, ----- --- ---- -- --- --- --- ----. or not.

Rocks!

I got 4 calls today. Keep thinking its going to be someone I know....

:-(

So I was on ---- ----- the other night looking for something to do on my old computer, the alien, happily working on maybe converting this to movable type, you know, fun stuff.

Then the fucking motherboard burns out! After two disks died on the box and the IDE controller was being a bitch, i lost ide1 put everything on ide0. That thing was old anyways, like circa 1999.

Anyways tuesday, walk to fucking Rydel, the service center, Van Nuys and Oxnard. Not a short walk. Make them give me my car back... $150

There was coolant all over the floor and they didnt put it back together all the way. I will never go there ever again. Fuckers.

So I drive it over to Canoga and Sherman Way to Jon's car guy, Daniel, awesome guy. He offered to drive me home until I told him where home is. So he took me to Xposed, which was right down the street. Day strip clubs are awesome, took a little trip to long island, then to the back room. I love daytime at the strip club, total buyers market. $200

Got my car back, the heater coil bypassed. $150

Went to frys, got an old AMD64 mobo combo plus 2G of cheapo ram, heatsink, thermal compound. $200

Took my car to go get detailed and to clean all the fucking coolant left there by Rydell, those assholes. I gave the guy the chop and saved like $50. $150

Then I met up with matty for some boozin. Back to the strip club. Voted. Went home and watched the election with matty and jon.

Mobo wont POST, must replace.

Anyways, once it fired up I upgraded to kubuntu 8.10. First impression, way better alsa handling, and KDE4 is fucking purdy. Got everything working and working on getting btnx to work again.

KDE4 NO MOUSEWHEEL TO SWITCH VIRTUAL DESKTOP!!! -100 points!!
