This weekend was a lot of fun. It isn’t over yet, but it has been so full of activity and good things that it has ruled.
So first off, Hiromi got a job. It is still about 5% tentative, but all she has to do is sign the contract and start. It is for a [...]

mr. & mrs.

Last night hiromi and mark and myself went and saw mr. and mrs. smith. it was pretty nice. Really funny. a lot of good relationship jokes. The only flaw was that we got there late so we had to sit in the very front row. kind of a bummer. but it ruled.

Grocery Grocery

Today i went to the grocery. for the first time in many years. possibly 2. hah. for food. i mean i have been for other things. but never for food. hahaha. ok. work.
oh yea. i am reading an EXCELLENT set of awesome alien books. matiss rules!

i got up late today. it was a bummer. I did na mean to. but I kept
having WEIRD dreams about doing menial tasks at work. so nerve
wrecking. they were stressful dreams. not as awesome as other dreams.
and my eyes are sleepy. and I am hungry. and and andlast night
we went to the science and industry museum - it was closed. suxor.
hah.  so I think I am going to go tomorrow with h…

heh.

i have accidently slept every night until about 1 for the past 3 days. I come home from work and “read” a book and then wake up in the middle of the night. tonight I caught myself and woke up at 11:45. wheee.i am reading these insane fantasy novels that matiss lent me. I don’t usually like fantasy nobels - however these are incredible. they are called the “vlad taltos” books - the first …

I liked it. basically I just hung out and played video games, went to clubs and drank vodka. yea know. the usual. it all started on thrusday (as it always does)… so thursday I went to sushi wabi with claudia. then to sonotech. and I saw elisa. I was so excited. I hadn’t seen her in ages. I lke my friends. then we went to bungalow to see jordan and chad -…

so basically I haven’t updated this thing in about 3 years. which is a long time. so I am going to “update” yall as to my whereabouts. so. I got this new job. it is taking a lot of my time. it rules. but I am in a different paradigm than I was when I was at the WB. basically I am totally engaged for 8 hours. I have to be much more accountable and I have to really justify my actions. th…

my eyes are dripping tiredness

however, I don’t feel very tired. I really don’t understand how it is that I am able to lead this weird dual life. my friend adam equated it to the original mods from the 50s and 60s. he said they used to have normal jobs(working 9-5) and look like business people - then after work they would transform into these fashion seeking scene people. right after my friend adam told me this he started s…
