washer was fixed when i got home last night. was drawing night cooked dinner for shawn and i. w00t cooking. my site was downthis morning, 503. seems ive had too many hits. id already hit my monthly bwidth quota of 1.5GB/transferred. i was on day 18 of a 28 day rotation. so i worked out a deal with my friend who runs the server to buy more bwidth. if you have hosting needs or a shitty hosting provider i recommend dan's services with high regards. nyip has served me well since this site's inception and the prices are right. so site is back up, ive scaled down thumbnail sizes by 1/4 and im hosting the webcam offsite (or i will be) this month has been my best traffic yet, but the site continues to grow in popularity so i may have to either start doing lame ass banners or merchandise (like i talked abotu before, dm.com shirts 'n such) right now its not so bad that i mind paying it. but if i have to buy continually more and more bwidth some kinda profit is gonna have to get turned here or there.
crit?: 1jose delivered my washer and dryer and tried them out. my washer got damaged on shipping or something. someone is coming out @ 4p to fix it. yay warranty.
crit?: 0went and watched the super game with steph's dad. i ate too much. the dead kennedy's were playing the phoenix so i showed up there around 10p, it was swamped with teeny bopper JHigh/HSchool hot topic fuckwits. i swear to crap they were doing that jackass stuff on the goddamned sidewalk. i read most of catcher in the rye this weekend so my saying of "goddamned" has gone up considerably. washer/dryer gets delivered tomorrow.
crit?: 1went to the show @ the smova. i got an honorable mention! i didnt even know it was competitive. there was one best of show and 4 honorable mentions. im pretty happy. got a washer and dryer, new work clothes and such. went grocery shopping, rented movies. i have a white picket fence, a washer and a dryer, a car payment and a full refridgerator. i will pick up a golden retriever and 2 toddlers on monday to make this an even nuclear experience.
crit?: 0buh. played video games too much, drew for several hours, will upload tomorrow.
crit?: 01st dinner @ 1st place with 1st dishes set on my 1st table. steph cooked a big tritip roast for the 1st time. it was good. she did a good job. unfortunately she had to goto bed fairly early, but shawn and silvanieand i stayed up. then silvaniefell asleep in my armchair. it was a nice evening. tried out the ice cream place on main street. so~so. made a comics page. s'pretty cool, auto-gen daily. god i cant wiat till i have bwidth at home.
crit?: 0volcano9 is awesome. went into rosa last night to pick up mail and a chest-of-drawers. ended up spending too much @ target again. however i got slidey pads so my tales and chairs wont fuck up the floor. cleaned up a bit for shawn and silvanietomorrow (dinner) got parts off of adam, installed the volcano 9, @ its lowest rpm it keeps my cpu 15-20f cooler, and is 16db quieter. well worth $18~ i def. recommend it if you have a crap ass loud amd rig. we have a new guy @ work here. his wife paints and he's into design. punk rockage?
crit?: 0steph met me for lunch. went walking around. then we ended up behind the phoenix and i can see what mark paints now. only, back east, and 50 years ago. im goign to come back with a camera. I FINALLY GOT TO DRAW. shawn came over and we had drawing night. it was awesome, like last summer. i didnt draw so well, but i drew, ill uppy when i can. i dont have no bandwidth at the new house.
crit?: 0got more "things" dining room table (3'x5') 6 chairs for said table and an unfinished coffee table. spent too much. furnishing expenses hover around a grand now and im not done.
crit?: 0i want a laser pointer. i broke my old one trying to turn it into a death ray. took leah home for lunch she liked the place. steph still hasnt seen it :( but she's supposed to be coming over tonight. i can finally start drawing again. table table table. lzr pntr 4 p3! dth ray! i have a wrist rocketi can start shooting at things from my front door okie style!
go read what jrray came up with. sams club/walmart = big liars.
tonight i didnt do too much moving stuff around, just kicked back and listened to music and stuff. there is a great pizza place down the street that serves ice cream too. also, the little market seems adequate. there is a coffee place acrossed the street im going to try some morning as well. this is pretty ferndalian. wlamart blows. couldnt find shit in there. got stuff but not everything.
crit?: 1when i went home for lunch yesterday all was well. he had come in and fixed things between when i left @ 7a and when i came home @ 11:30a thats pretty bad ass. he also offered his facilities should mine ever break down. i took a shower during lunch CAUSE I COULD. im on well water and i have a very large and hot water heater so now steph can take as long a shower as she wants. shawn and brent helped me move the rest of my pertinent items over. the little light bedroom is great. put the bed and dresser and whatnot in there. i took some pics when i got home last night 'cause it was still light out. sunset actually scroll to the bottom of this page this is my fave.
crit?: 0spongebath. at least the water was hot. took 15mins to get a paltry amount of water drawn in the bath. once i see a light on @ the landlords im calling.
talked to his daughter, she was nice and sympathetic to my getting clean thing. lets hope this gets resolved today.
crit?: 0excited about moving in. went and got check for rent + deposit. hauled stuff back and forth like a madman, dropped a lot of money at target. first night in the new house. the kitchen sink dont drain. the shower dont shower. ill call landlord in the morning.
crit?: 0i got that house i wanted! unh unh yeah victory dance. im packing up shit right now, then tomorrow i take a check over and get the keys. p3 is movin on up!
crit?: 04.5hr meeting this morning. after that i went and looked at places. i hear about that place i want to get into tomorrow. so far its the best by far. picked up socom. fixed that computer. it ended up being the video card itself (hardware) a 5min fix. grr im mad i wasted my friday night. steph isnt coming over this weekend, she had a big test this morning (praxis) and then tomorrow is going to SF to meet her friends. ive got to look at more houses so she's going on her own. im posting this from another computer i finally fixed. i dont kno why im having such a hard time fixing computers lately. either the problems are getting more exotic (hardware instead of software) or im losing my touch. i blame via. the itrip is the coolest thing ever. i now want an ipod for my car.
pthree> i got a new case
pthree> i went to a pub to see a band (what i thought was last night) but their toilet broke
pthree> so the band played at their house
pthree> then after that it was partyish then we went to another band's house
pthree> and a girl touched me and complimented my glasses but i didnt know what to do
pthree> she was a huggy hippy and shawn wouldnt kick her even though i wished he would.
sara's mom was driving behind me i think.
finished a tribute graphic for a guy who died in the company. he was a hardcore worker and was even buried with a hardhat so they made an annual award for him. the in office plaque part i finished up today. when did roundtable pizza get so ghetto? it seems like all the roundtables ive been to in the past few years are all dirty and nasty. Went and picked up a client's computer after work. just a stupid directx/game issue. i thought it would only take 5 mins. so instead of goign to a show and seeing some cool local music and downing a pint or two i sat around hammering my ehad on this fucking problem. its still not working. i blame you.
crit?: 0today we are bidding on a project to build a juvenile detention center. yesterday i used GIS photos to illustrate how a parcel of land that we (as a company) want to build on is not neccesarily the endangered tiger slamanader haven, but a parcel waiting to be developed. so i made a photo showing this parcel bordered by development. i didnt realize what i was doing or why until after i had delivered the photo. so yesterday i did my part to eradicate the tiger salamander, today i do my part to jail teens. wassy puts it best:
wastrel: your job is to imprison pre-teens and kill endangered species
tomorrow i will be kicking pregnant ladies right in their swollen stomaches. oh, and the webcam is back up, @ work. so now you can watch me be boring. i spend 85% of my time looking at either my laptop screen or my monitor. EXCITING STUFF!!!1 if youre nice, ill show you some titty
crit?: 2working full time has taken some adjusting so far. its hard for me to sit still. i wasnt ever a sit-still kinda kid in school and now im doing it for 8-9 hrs a day. when i get home its dark so i cant exactly go do anything. its frustrating i guess. im hoping i get that house (ill hear about it this weekend) so i can bike to work, thatd be nice exercise. i set up spamassassin for a test "subjct" the other day on my server. had to do a lot of tinkering and updating to get 'er installed. ende dup easier to just upgrade my distro. had a downtime of less than a minit but boy did i hear about it from the office. i thought i had it timed right so that the momentary downtime (as net daemons restarted) would not interfere with dhcp license renewal. it did. been messing with cygwin, s'ok but i was hoping for more of an osx'y feel on w2k. man, an osx machine'd be nice. or at least a linux-as-desktop solution with photoshop...
crit?: 0got raped on my bonus check. 1/3rd taken out for taxes. :/ drool
crit?: 0got my ps2 net adapter, and a demo disc or 2. went drawing tonight. did some suck ass drawing but it felt good to draw. didnt get to look @ any places today, and wont get to tomorrow. its a good thing im not under the gun to find a place. a vaginatacular drawing.
crit?: 0returned a pair of pyjamas and 2 pairs of socks, got a belt. needed a belt. i didnt buy a shitty belt this time like i normally do. this one is made of real leather. got my car washed. when a girl who was parked next to me last night left the party she sprayed my car with thick gobs of mud. my car hadnt been washed in awhile so its all sparkly and red now. got 4 calls today and 2 voice messages. i point this out because it is unusual for a sunday. a realtor lady wants me to look at a sunshiney little cottage, or pleasant quaint cottage. or some shit. she tacked a lot of nonsense adjectives onto this cottage.
it's 400ft^2.
it's $895/mth
it's a big bowl of fuck that; sideways, twice.
tomorrow i look at places. then it's drawing night. i'm all geared up for drawing night. tomorrow i start my first 40hr week of the rest of my life.
went to li's for dinner tonight. we had lots of yummy crab and salad and bread and wine. today i ate five bugs (hi dan!) i didnt walk steph to her car, and there was some guys out front leering, so she ran to her car. i feel bad. i thought she could handle the going to the car thing by herself :(( bad bf :(
spent today looking at places to live in and returning xmas things. saw a really nice little house thing that i would love to have, were it not hydrated with iron-water :/ looky here thats the digital printmaking position @ sonoma state. went to a party @ melissa's (sculpture melissa) saw brenda there, exbfa she is. talked with her for awhile. she ran a marathon in hawaii. she also kicked around the US for 6months living in her truck. she said she got restless and needed to travel after school. and here's the write up for that show we're in. that other show @ smova is opening soon. i guess i shold find out when the opening is. the 9th i guess here is the "write up"
crit?: 3pthree> punk rock!
