MARCH 31, 2005 :: 06:07PM I love technology.
Jammin' to American Idol vids :D... feelin' anxious.It has been very out of character of me to have not been following American Idol this season. But! I've made up for it by downloading pretty much all of the episodes from a website. Haha, I'm such a geek. So far I like Vonzirelli [Vonzell] out of the girls, and although creepy and not quite as talented as the others, Scott Savol. Not sure why, really. He seems really nice. Haha, I dunno!
A couple weeks ago I discovered vid chat on MSN Messenger with the Hoosier. Man, technology is great. Live video is so much better than still pictures. Now I can witness first hand what a cheezeball he is... hahaha. I just realized today that I have a webcam at work too, so we had quite a blast frustrating each other with suggestive poses and gestures. :D
Anyway, it's been over a year since I've been to Vegas, so I'm about due for a mini-break. Unfortunately our schedules are crappy in April so we booked a couple nights at the MGM in May. WoOhOo!! I've never stayed at the MGM so it should be fun. I love Vegas!! In small doses, that is. We may even do something touristy like watch a show. That, or pay to have boobies wiggled in our faces. Either option should be lovely.
C'mon time... pass quicker already!
MARCH 28, 2005 :: 12:03AM 8 Game Losing Streak
Jammin' to the Food Network... feelin' disgusted.I, along with other fans, went into this season with zero expectations. Unfortunately, our expectations were met. It hurts, it really does. I do not know if I will ever figure out why Laker basketball gets to me as much as it does, but I think it was a good thing I stayed as far away from it as I could this season. My heart still hasn't fully healed from the defensive drubbing we received from Detroit in the Finals. Look at us now, reigning Western Conference Champions, not even in playoff contention.
Moving on... ummmm.. Gatorade. Why does gatorade taste so good? I can chug a 32oz. bottle in one sitting. Maybe it's so easy to drink large quantities because it doesn't really taste like anything, but tickles your taste buds with juuust enough flavor. Then your tongue gets curious and wants more and more. Huh, fascinating.
Err - next subject. I can't believe this is the first time I've mentioned it since it's such huge news, but... are you ready for it? I am now a proud owner of my very own washer and dryer! Yes, it's true folks. April fresh laundry is only 10 paces away from my bedroom door. I have been going bananas ever since I got them hooked up. I started out with enough dirty laundry to fill a small room [not even exaggerating], and now all I have left is one hamper full, which is mostly sheets. OH MAH GAWD LIKE FORREALZ. I didn't count them but if I had to guess, I did about 12 loads of laundry and have 2 loads to go. The problem that I'm having now is that I'm running out of closet and drawer space!! I mean damn, how many random t-shirts and sweat pants does a girl need?! Time to make another round of Salvation Army donations.
Man... after a couple months of barely going to the gym and Easter Sunday with family home-cookin' to top it off, my ass is expanding to its own area code. Time to break up with the beef and rice and make up with the gym.
MARCH 17, 2005 :: 04:59PM A very boring update.
Jammin' to the Garden State soundtrack... feelin' BORED!When I look at the clock and see that it's only 4:28PM, I wince in agony. When I look at the clock again and see that only 3 minutes have passed, I fight the urge to keel over in my chair. Why am I not busy right now? The past two weeks have been brutal at work, so my 9-10 hour days have gone by quickly. Thank gawd tomorrow's Friday.
So let's recap. I'll break it down by category.
Work
A co-worker if mine, whom I work closely with, is quitting at the end of the month. In the beginning he was the most annoying fuck I'd ever met in my life. Now he's become tolerable. We've interviewed a couple people and one person is far ahead in the running, but I have a feeling that won't pan out since he's got other offers for more money. It's really too bad because he seemed like he'd fit in with our strange group. Plus he was a hottie [although that could be a bad thing.. could get distracting]. I just hope we don't hire another tool.
March Madness is here and my co-worker Steve is holding an office pool. I don't know the first thing about college basketball, so the Hoosier authored my bracket entry for me. He's guaranteeing a winning entry. Looks pretty good so far! Haha, just as I finished typing that, Steve walked in my office and said "your friend did a pretty good job with his picks so far!" Yup, that's my boy. :D
Personal
I'm all moved into my new place. I'm finally out of the valley! Yup, I make that dreaded commute on the 405 every morning and evening, but it's really not so bad. I live 12 miles from the office but it only takes 20 minutes to get to work. It's a lovely drive; I'm left alone with my thoughts. I tend to do most of my thinking on the shitter or in the car, and since I didn't drive all that often I really didn't think much either! The ride home is a different story, but still not terrible. I take Sepulveda, which is pretty empty, up and down the hill and then hop on the freeway. It takes an average of 45 minutes. Not bad. I'm still getting used to my new area; I'm not sure where the nearest grocery store is but I've gotta find it soon. The home-cooked, tupperwared food my mom sent is running out! We're painting the living room and my bedroom this weekend, so I'll have pictures up after that's done and we're all unpacked. Moving always sucks, but this move was totally worth it.
Cars
I don't think I wrote about it, but a few weeks ago I was strongly considering selling my car. Very strongly; I had an ad up on Craigslist and everything. I got a few offers but I never followed up with anyone. I guess I'm just not ready yet. My car has been treating me well lately, and it's oh so fun on those up hill twisties. Maybe I'll keep it around through the summer, and then buy a Grand Prix [unf unf!] White S2000... yummmmmy.
..... are you telling me I wrote all that shit up there and it's still only 5:00?!?
MARCH 08, 2005 :: 09:16PM New RAW FILES Entry
Jammin' to sappy shit... feelin' raw.It's baaaaaack! Although I haven't uploaded my old entries. Too lazy to reconfigure Moveable Type on the new server, and way too lazy to do any layout formatting. Hence the stock template from WordPress.org.
Title: I'm confused.
I can't believe I'm back here again...
MARCH 05, 2005 :: 06:27PM It's been so long...
Jammin' to Strong as Steel... feelin' not sure.... since I've paid attention to this site that I haven't even bookmarked the Greymatter page [the control panel I go into to type entries] on my month-old laptop. I now have a second to breathe, sit back, and reflect on the goings-on in my life.
Last night and this morning, I had a Rob flashback. Or shall I say, long distance relationship flashback. It wasn't pleasant, and the aftermath has left me in disarray. While I was decidedly angry and hurt earlier, I'm not sure what I am right now. Under normal circumstances, what happened wouldn't have been as big of a deal. Unfortunately, these are not ordinary circumstances, therefore it was a big deal.
Just when you start to become comfortable with the thought of caring for someone thousands of miles away, a gargantuan lightning bolt of a reality check zaps you in the ass. Is this good enough for him? Is this good enough for me? I've been so cozy inside the box for the last four months that I haven't stopped for one second to think outside of it.
I think my blinders are finally off - for now at least.
