how soon is tomorrow

Today is weird. I worked from 9 to 5 twice in 24 hours. That is a lot of work. I am totally of the school of thought that you should always pace yourself. 16 hours with a 3 hour break isn’t really pacing myself. But whatever - it is the same sxhedule I sometimes have with going out and work - and I don’t complain then. Heh.

Today I got a letter from my friend ella from taiwan. It w…

so I took a break today at work and looked at red/blue 3d pictures with these super fancy three d glasses that a coworker has. it rules. it rules so much I have a bitching headache right now. work is very serious currently. it kinda sucks. I have a so much stuff to do and so little time. and it is all stuff that is fun - but not when the pressure is so high. all I really want to do is p…

work.

so I came to work. it was nice to go outside. I guess moving is good. although it was tough leaving the comfort (and depression) of my room - it is worth it to be out of the realm of my wallowing. i listened to the butthole surfers on the way to work. hairway to steven. such a great album. hah. and then the cars. how did the cars do that. I really don’t know. sooo good. ok. so I have a…

ice skating and such

On saturday - my mom, dad and hiromi all went to the hobby shop to look for hobbies for my father. he didn’t find anything so I later went back and got him a 130 in 1 electronic experimentation kit and a fancy radio …

today ruled

seriously.. it was incredible. I finally was able to get my cyberarts book. it is so funny to be in a fancy book. I mean I know I won, but I didn’t expect it to be such a fancy book. or a book that was actually at a store… and real. it is weird. I look at my picture and am like.. woah.. I am famous. haha. well not really.. but sorta. heh.tonight I went to spybar and as I left. I saw …

Finally

sixtysevenprimi (2:00:50 PM): woah…that wreck you saw the other day…that was horrible..it was a bike messenger that works for On Time, he didnt have any brakes on his track bike and ran into a woman
I love my bike messenger friends - but I find that often the bike messenging kids are wreckless. They can be just as bad as cars… which I had …

tron

This game rules. It is the tron cars. So so fun. what a great lunchtime game ;). I should probably get that movie t some time. so I got a new plugin for winamp that tracks what you listen to and then analyzes it and creates a “good” playlist for you that fits your music taste. however, it has to be trained. and I don’t wan…

Heh. my friend carl was like.. are you the hot guy or the weird guy.. well I was the weird guy.. but soon I became the hot guy.. oh so hot.. so the oscars.. I am so glad michael moore said what he said. it is imaportant to get that mes…

the Last night

last night we went to go and see the movie signs. it was wonderful. I liked it. The first time I asw it.. it was at that crazy chimaman theatre in LA. I wish that was pronounced laa. like I live in laa.. heh. too bad. stupid cars. After the movie.. hiromi “dragged” us to a bar.. I say dragged… because we didn’t really know anyone.. but I wanted to go anyway. I saw some friends there.. whi…
