I got to L.A. around 5pm. Took a short nap, figured I'd spend the evening wandering Chinatown. On my way to dinner, I discovered that Chinatown's retail element shuts down around 6pm on a Saturday. You've let me down, L.A. 
Not a big deal. I'm pretty tired anyway: Driving wears me out.

Glad you made it there safely.
yuck....I SO could have done without the entire roast pig image...

see you tomorrow 
Today went well. I don't know for sure that things will improve for me, but I feel better that I'm doing something, anyway.
Today at work was bizarre. I helped run cable for a new office, and that was actually kinda fun, though drywall made a mess of my black shirt. Then my hard drive started buzzing, and stopped working. So I probably have two...

In these cases, it is better for the artist to go home and polish his rock sculpture.
Turns out she flaked, and we're going to try to meet this week. I'm not sure I'm compatible with someone who has their shit together, anyway...
btb4:
Good luck!

ok good, I didn't want to have to kick her ass
I am at a restaurant called The New Zealander in Alameda, to celebrate my friend Ian's birthday. I barely know most of these people, so I don't feel too bad about blogging.
They have this burger from hell, which, among other things, includes pineapple, pickled beets and a fried egg. Lamb instead of beef is optional. Being a glutton, I had to try it.

Premature eggulation is a sign that you polish your rock sculpture to much. (Or is it that you think about polishing your rock sculpture without doing it.)

OK, so first rule of bar food - check the yolks first.
Work was an utter slog today, went to class tired and was getting frustrated with this skeleton study. Then class ended, and I stepped into the cool night and looked at what stars you can see from here. Then I shuddered, and it took me a moment to figure out what I was feeling.
I think it was joy.

Those are awesome moments.
kas:
joy?!?!?!?!??! congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's ALIVE!! Muahahaha!
That is, I fixed my PC. My video card went kaput. I went ahead and upgraded, so now it's harder better faster stronger.

you know you love it, glad your PC is alive!!!!
brightredscream:
YAY!
Well, today is lame. But in a frustrating way, not a depressing way. Which is to say that my PC has some kind of hardware failure that I'm not inclined to fight with tonight.
Yes, that means I'm on my Macbook. Shaddup, Sabine.
I know it's hardware failure, but it's not quite clear what failed. This could be minorly expensive, or majorly expensive. Unfortunately, majorly...

Sounds like a hassle.
So getting your volvo computer fixed will cost that of a volvo right?

Did you figure out what asploded? Short of a processor, nothing should be all that pricey to replace.

That was a relief. I was afraid if i clicked spoilers, the gesture was a drawing of you flipping us the bird.
kas:
ah thanks (blush) I didn't even mean to lose that much, but between quitting drinking and eating a ton of fruit veggies and granola, (and mainlining coffee) it kinda kept coming off 
Just watched the weirdest damned movie on IFC. "Strange Hostel of Naked Pleasures". It's, uh, weird (and not particularly sexy).
slyderule:
You know I get grossed out by sex in movies. When I watch a movie, I don't want to see hardcore sex, mild sex, simulated sex, artsy allegorical sex, or any other form of sex. I want to see nudity! (Plot is nice, but gratuitous nudity is still fine.)
pandara:
Thanks mouse.
Weird day. Just got home from a 12-ish-hour day. Work was lame, as usual. Had a staff meeting which featured the usual doom & gloom budget forecast. Still, I'm not too worried: Being unemployed would suck, but if it came down to it, losing this particular job wouldn't be the worst thing that could happen to me.

It's hard to lose someone you care about whether it's a cat or a person. Either way it really sucks. Hope you are doing ok.
lilli:
Imma be okay, sweetie. Thanks for asking. Just an emo day. They suck balls.
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I hope you find comfort in your happy years together. Tonight is the tenth anniversary of the last night I saw my beloved dog, Chloe, alive. She was gone in the morning when we woke up. I still miss her everyday. I feel your pain. *hug*
