My calendar
Jammin' to ... feelin'


I just realized my two months there down below are ummm outdated. I am too lazy to do a January and February right now so I'll fix it later.

Worst Super Bowl Ever
Jammin' to ... feelin'


Well, I am not a football fan so I am not going to jump on the bandwagon, but this was possibly the worst Super Bowl I've watched, ever. The Raiders, or should I say Gannon, crumbled under the Bucs' defense and it was just too sad to watch. I couldn't care less if either team won, but my boss being a die-hard Raider fan, I guess you could say I was sort of pulling for them. That interception-touchdown in the last couple seconds just added insult to injury. Ouch, that hurt. My poor boss is in a miserable mood this morning, so I bought him breakfast. Since this is the Bucs' first SuperBowl ever, congrats to them.

Last week we hired a new office assistant/receptionist. I cannot wait for her to start (which won't be until next Monday) so that I can finally concentrate on my real work again. This time I have no excuses not to put 100% effort towards my job.

This weekend I did a little bit of thinking about relationships. I am sort of getting close to someone that I could possibly have feelings for, but there is that other half of me that is so not ready for it. On one hand, Rob and I are not together anymore, and the best thing for me to do would be to move on. On the other hand, it is not fair to this new person for me to have half-assed feelings for them because I still have not completely let go. I feel trapped. I've convinced myself that no one else will ever live up to the standards that he had set for me. I am scared of starting a new relationship only to fail at it again because I didn't have faith that this new person could be right for me. I want to ask Rob straight up, if there is ever, ever, ever a smidgen of a chance that we would ever get back together again. If he says yes, then I can I will indefinitely hold on to that chance for as long as I still love him. If he says no, then I know exactly what I should do... I hope.

The Two Towers WEEEE
Jammin' to ... feelin'


Last week my friend was kind enough to burn me a copy of The Two Towers. I received a package via UPS today not realizing it was the CDs. I looked at the return address and it the sticker had a Sacramento Kings label. Yuck! I was appalled at the site and for a second I thought it was a mail bomb or laced with anthrax courtesy of the Kings' PR department because I talk so much shit about them. Heh, then I realized it was my friend's girlfriend who sent the package. Yesssss. I can't wait to get home and watch these. I will be deeply saddened if they don't play but I'm sure they will. Woot. I also got my Sega GT 2002 for Xbox today. Looks like it's going to be a busy night for me.

For some reason, I've done all my laundry yet I could not find a damn thing to wear to work today. No two items of clothing matched. I was getting quite frustrated so I said fuck it, I'll throw on some nice jeans. They'll match with anything. I've run out of drawer and closet space for the millions of t-shirts I have. Just t-shirts. I don't know why I have so many t-shirts. I'll have to do another round of salvation army donating.

Happy MLK day. Most of you lucky fucks get the day off but not us. Oh no. Our next day off isn't until Memorial Day in May. I'll be taking half a day off in February to go snowboarding. WEEEE. And then another day off in the beginning of May for New Dimensions 2003 in San Jose. WEEEE x 2. I'm determined to make this year better than last year, which shouldn't be too hard.

Joe Millionaire is on tonight! WEEEE x 3.

Lots of sleep.
Jammin' to ... feelin'


I didn't want to deal with the other inhabitants of my house so as soon as I heard someone come home, I turned off the TV and lights (yeah, big improvement!) and hid under the covers trying to get to sleep. It was 8pm. I woke up every now and then but overall I had a good night's sleep and woke up at 6:30 without an alarm clock. I had a glass of OJ and a nanner for breakfast; hit the road at 8:10 and got to work at 8:45. It's really weird, no matter how fast or slow I go, if I take the side streets to work I'm there in 35 minutes. LA traffic is an interesting character. It can take half an hour to drive 2 blocks and half an hour to drive 30 miles sometimes.

My soul feels uneasy. There is an unidentified weight on my chest and it's making me a nervous wreck. It's sort of like that feeling that you've forgotten something when you're on a plane flying across the country. I feel like the only person who really knows me is Rob, and he's probably the most unattainable person out of all my friends. Fuck I need to get him off my In Case of Emergency contact list.

Papercut from hell
Jammin' to ... feelin'


I get tons of mail at work (no I'm not popular, just busy as hell) so I rip through the envelopes messily trying to get to the core of it. I stopped using my letter opener because I end up shredding to pieces most of my important mail.

So it's an ordinary Tuesday morning, ripping through mail and tossing the junk ones. I slip my fingers through the seam and OW! It felt like I rammed my knuckle into a needle. It didn't hurt that much but as soon as I pulled my finger out and examined the papercut, I wanted to cry. Right on my knucle, a long and deep cut; an envelope -- the culprit. This is my second papercut in so many days. They are the WORST! I'd rather fall and scrape my knee on the concrete than have a papercut. These little bitches are the fucking devil in disguise. They're too small to bandage up, yet are painful enough to kick you in the ass. They're always in the worst of places too. Why not on my forearm or some other place that doesn't move and bend regularly?!

Blah, but anyway.

January is probably my least favorite month. All the Holiday celebrating is over and, since my favorite time of year is Christmas, I have to wait a whole 'nother 11 months for it again and another 10 months for my birthday. The feeling of normalcy is prevalent in January.

The Conditioner Adventure.
Jammin' to ... feelin'


For the past week I have not been conditioning my hair in the shower. I squeezed the last drop out of the last bottle and just haven't had the motivation to drive half a mile to the store and buy another bottle. I was fine the first couple days but then it started to get harder and harder to brush my hair tangle-free in the morning. I'd run a comb through my hair and it would stop an inch from my hairline. Eeee. So last night, I head over to Walgreen's and buy two economy packs of conditioner. YES, I'm saved! I tell my sister the news, so proud of myself for having saved our tresses, and she looks at me with a puzzled look and says "I bought conditioner three days ago. It's on the ledge of the bathtub where the shower curtain is." DOH!

The Lord of the Rings
Jammin' to ... feelin'


I tried playing the LOTR on Xbox last night and even on "easy" I couldn't get passed the second level. It's an interesting game really, it started off like the first movie, and I thought.. wait a minute, did I accidently put the DVD in? Sure enough at the first battle scene at Weathertop the movie turned into the video game and suddenly I was Isildur fighting off the orcs. After I kicked muy orc ass, I turned into Aragorn fighting the wringraiths where they bitch slapped me all over the place. I don't know why I can never beat them! I'll have to keep trying or else this game is useless. I guess I'll have to continue blowing myself up and running in circles on HALO.

LA Auto Show aftermath
Jammin' to ... feelin'


Click Here For Pictures

The show was fun, but mostly because I was with my friends. I mainly only took pictures of the imports. I was quite sad when I finally made it over to the German engineering section and my camera battery died. I missed some good photo ops.

I ordered The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers for Xbox from amazon.com and it arrived today. YESS! I can't wait to go home and play this tonight.

Listen to me, I've become a pubescent junior high boy.

My car door locks are possessed.
Jammin' to ... feelin'


I think I need to have my car blessed. First I get two speeding tickets within 3 months, and now my door locks open and close as they please. Not only is it a hazard, loud and annoying, and not secure, it's fucking creepy. Either the electrical wiring is all fucked up or a demon has inhabited my rice rocket.

In other news, the hOMieZ and I are checking out the LA Auto Show tonight. I'll have my trusty new Canon PowerShot G2 to aid in my photography efforts. WOot. I love this camera. I've been taking a whole lotta test shots but since I really have nothing cool to shoot, I've been taking pictures of whatever is on TV. They come out neeeat. I can also take 2 minute movies with sound. Yee hee.

Finally, a minute to breathe
Jammin' to ... feelin'


Actually I've had a few minutes to breathe and write out a blog but I haven't been inspired much lately. It's Sunday night and I'm taking some time to relax. I've been cleaning and doing laundry for most of the weekend. Last night I went to Dave & Busters and Denny's with the hOMieZ and on the way home, THREE exits away from mine, I get pulled over by a CHP. FUCK. FUCK. FUCK. FUCK. FUCK. You have got to be fucking kidding me. I JUST paid off my last speeding ticket AND took traffic school. The guy comes over, does his whole schpiel and I sign off on the ticket. 95 in a 65. FUCK. FUCK. FUCK. That's going to be a doozle dorfer fine. I honestly thought I was only going about 85, but I guess my speedo is just that far off the mark (my large wheels fuck it up the calibration). There goes my record.

Right now I'm watching one of my favorite shows ever, Mystery Science Theatre. One of the few shows (like Sex and the City) that can make me laugh out loud.

My house phone is ringing but I'll be damned if I get up from my comfortable bed to run across the house to answer it.

Oh, did I mention I finally have a new bed? Kick ass. I bought it on Thursday and it was delivered yesterday. It's just your average trendy wooden futon but my stylish pillows add a decorative touch. Heh. After three months of sleeping on the floor on a sometimes-working aero bed, I'm now sleeping in comfort. Woot.

In a little while I am heading over to the Old Spaghetti Factory to have dinner with the old sis. My last hoorah before I start up with Atkins again. Gotta be strong! Gotta have faith!

Oh shit, gotta get ready.
