I need to put a new pic up; I don't look nearly that youthful anymore except in my mind. The bar it was taken in is St. Joe's in New Orleans; I have no idea if it's still standing.

Reality is a bitch and school has helped me avoid it. There are 6 weeks left till I graduate, and my life will go from zero...

My training at UT is coming to an end. I finally graduate in December - about 5 years behind schedule, but hey, at least I'm finishing. I have a feeling my time in Austin is coming to an end too. I have alot of friends here, but I've always felt like I don't belong. Actually, everywhere I go I feel like I don't belong, so...

I was in New Orleans visiting my family the weekend of the hurricane. This is the only thing I'm going to write about it. We evacuated. Everyone in my family made it out and we're ok.

I'm sitting here in my Jazz Fest t-shirt, completely heartbroken. I spent most of the week in Houston and Austin trying to coordinate things for displaced friends and family....

For whatever my reasons, I've avoided drama like the plague for most of my adult life. As nice as it sounds in principle, it's left me pretty aloof and I feel it's reflected in my work. Everything I do is extremely technical and rarely has any emotional connection. I even tend to view work that is too emotionaly driven as cheesy.

I think I and...

My carpal tunnel syndrome has gone full blown. I had to buy a track ball, one of those awful split ergonomic keyboards, and I'm wearing a wrist brace. I guess I am mortal after all, and getting old sucks. Maybe I'll just change my nic to AgedC.

First summer session classes are over. The physical chemistry lab I took has pretty much left me insane, and the entire month of of June is a giant blur. Now I can do laundry, go to the grocery store, and clean up my disaster of a house.

OK,
I need to quit being such a hater and get with the program. Being this jaded and cynical is tiring. I will come to your party, I will be nice to your guest, I will have a good time, and I won't drink all your scotch.

Maybe the scotch thing will take some work, but baby steps.

I feel like my little bubble of...

I'll try to get a quick note out while the ambien begins to take me in its gentle embrace.

Thanks for all the support on the powerbook. It was a milestone in my life to get a mac. That's about how big the milestones in my life are right now. My TA was talking shit about my powerbook today in lab, but she's just a...

My powerbook came in today, The glowing keyboard makes me happy. I had a really hard 2 days with exams and all that and I'm blown tonight but its all good because I'm on Mac. Now I'm part of the cool kids' club.

Just got my tickets to Carnaval Brazilero in Austin! Samba madness!!!! chicka-chicka-chicka-chicka-chicka-chicka-chicka

Here's a lil background: 5 hours of caipirinha swilling, samba dancing, costumes and boobies fun. I'm from New Orleans, so I'm a Mardi Gras vet, but this will be my first South American style carnaval so I'm psyched. I need to find some time this week to get my costume together. Kinda at...
