interesting blog entry here. someone emailed today asking if i had shirts for sale. i need to find that hi-qual scan of the dm painting i have to get shirts rolling. i think im just going to have an image and thats it. no url for the website. if someone else is interested in teh shirt they can just ask whomever is wearing it.
crit?: 0steph came over and we headed out on a date. ended up with such a late start we just came home. she got me this awesome rad little journally sketchbook made of nepalese paper. made a dumb little drawing in it. was kinda fun cause i kept wrecking it when steph liked something :) my water is getting filtered this weekend.
crit?: 0work then bbq @ melissa's house. picked shawn up at ssu. that is the last time i should have any cause to be on campus. i took a little souvenier. kurt had this little painted scrap of wood resting above his corkboard that said "help! im art" i got a kick out of it every time i saw it. eventually it became an art mantra. so now it is in my neglected drawing room waiting to be framed.
crit?: 0leah came over after work and we ate pizza, drank beer and shot the shit. after she left i was bored so i started cutting my hair. that didnt work out as well as it has in the past so i went and bought some clippers and shaved my head. a little taskpad doodle.
crit?: 0bleh did nothing today. took a long walk again. my legs are all sore from the previous day's walking.
crit?: 0futzed around, called jim up. went hiking around annadel. took some pretty neat shots got winded n sweaty. all tuckered out now.
crit?: 0did a bunch of housework. all day. went up to SR got a new game, got car washed, got groceries, got dinner with folks. got got got. steph is safe in NY. bleh!
crit?: 0kottke linked to explodingdog in the web remainder blog today, so if you have found your way here through kottke->explodingdog welcome. everyone else is welcome too. i have 3 days to myself. i may just explode from boredom. i have a giant list of chores and plans with several people, but 72hours is a lot of hours. ive been listening to cat power and the new nofx care of ms.paige steph is safe in her hotel in NY. went for a very long walk around my town tonight. saw stuff and found an EASY E cd from 96
crit?: 0watched adaptation tonight. it seemed to recover form itself quite well. about where meryl streep pulls out a gun i thought ah crap now its gonna start sucking hard. i had a bit of a beef with the predictability of many scenes, but whatchagonnado? tomorrow night: donnie darko. steph leaves for NY in several hours. if her plane explodes do to errorism, im supposed to wear orange she says.
crit?: 1i thought today was tuesday but it isnt. there is no drawing night this week and steph will be in NY this weekend. for some reason, since i had nothing to look forward to i didnt keep track of the days. weird eh? steph said she is coming over tonight.
crit?: 0work was uneventful. found a giant bolt while walking around at lunch. also a horrible "jazz" cd still mostly in its shrink wrap. it had been sitting by the side of the road so long that the plastic had deteriorated/rotted off. i had 10 chicken nuggets, fries and a choco milkshake for lunch. a bowl of cereal with honey, potato chips and pistachio nuts for dinner.
crit?: 1came home and was expecting to lounge through the evening playing video games. had planned on getting another tattoo or so, but closed on mondays. ended up going to pick up a gift for sister on parents behalf. the neensy turns 21 this week. i need to get something for her as well. went and hung out @ adam's afterward. he is getting into debian which is cool.
crit?: 0what in the f did we do today. nothing. we read and napped with the muppets. one on my lap, one on steph's lap, all 3 of them fell asleep. it was pretty cute but i guess you had to have been there. i was bored so i laid out and tanned by the pool. that was fun... for about 45mins. felt so wasteful but i guess i needed a day of relazation from my gruelling.. oh right. i have the perfect job. bleh. well if it makes you feel any better my house smelled like rotting ass when i got home. damned trader joe's produce (organic) rotted nigh instantly.
ugh, we slept on this little mini-twin bed. the damned dogs spent the whole night keeping us awake, then @ 8a decided they couldnt bother with us being horizontal any longer. stupid cute little muppets. the house is too creepy for words so we're gonna bunk up @ her parents house and just keep the dogs company off and on for the rest of the weekend. went and picked up sub from repair place. apparently when i bought it open box from best buy some trickery had been applied to it. it was a jbl pb10 that someone had sunk a pioneer 10" woofer into. so it popped and was thouroughly dead. they replaced the woofer and put what should have been in, in. they say it should be much better than what i had in there (and i thought that was good!) went to a comic book shop and perused. picked up a couple of "Big Books" i have all but 3 now.
crit?: 0hmm. ok i got bitched out. once i explained the details and stuff we were ok, but that was a dicey coupla hours i'll say. went to dinner @ a good pizza place steph knows. we were the only folks in there. this weekend we are house sitting for one of her friends' parents. they have 2 little muppet dogs and a weird weird house. its as if noone lives here,certainly nothing male. everything is from 1915 or so, all pristine and uncomfortable and clean. bleh x100.
crit?: 0left work early to goto a paint-off @ alma mater. $2 entrance got unlimited beer + wine. so i got smashed. hung around with arty folk @ school for awhile then in my stupor went with the party to someone's house. someone with a hot tub. eventually ended up naked in a hottub with four naked chicks and a dude. nothing happened, i went in wth innocent intent. it just kinda went wrong. though i didnt realize i may have done anytihng wrong till i got back up to the apt and shawn started giving me hell. called steph and she seemed ok with it, though it was 1:30 a. guess we'll find out tomorry.
crit?: 0work, worked on exim thing, tweaking it out. it breaks mime encoding making it invisible @ certain points. got my heater fixed today. subwoofer was fixed the other day, everything is coming up milhouse. after work went drawing @ shawn's house. tomorrow is the paint-off at school and my presence was requested by former peers so i go and have fun no? shawn picked me up a new pad of paper today which is good. drew first drawing on new pad of paper. also posted the songfight.org drawing to the gallery. ive got mail ive got mail yay!
crit?: 1novato again, user locked himself out of his house so i came back to work, got a latte on the way back. ende dup setting up and training his terminal svcs drop from home. after work met steph and we went for sushi, then treehorn, then screamin' mimi's. i got a bunch of long term projects done today, mass LDAP rollout, exim/disclaimer transport/filter (driver = smtp, transport_filter = /usr/bin/foo.sh) felt pretty good. did i mention that last wednesday someone came up my driveway and dragged my garbage can down to the street? pretty weird eh? but definitely nice. ill have to remember to put it out tonight.
crit?: 0today marks 2yrs since our first date. drove to novato for a user install. worked, then went to another jobsite to take pics and de-setup a user install. steph and i decided that we'll do dinner tomorry. so i did yard work for a couple of hours. got this done. that fence used to be covered.
crit?: 0made mom breakfast, steph helped. mo mliked it i suppose. it was a beautiful day over here. then we went over to steph's and she made dinner for her mom and i helped..
crit?: 0we did things today. i did a ton of yard work. ill put up pics later. for now, here's all the flowers that are in my yard. wanted to surprise steph with a latte and the paper, but she had woke up when i was out working. i fixed the fence in a bunch of spots too, but there are boards what need replacing. afterwards went to NRA dinenr with dad. that was pretty fun, nothing like what i expected.
crit?: 0worked more, we surprised a VP who turned 40, dicked around on that for a good part of the day. dumped some DV to file worked on filter process some more. after work went to another galleryopening. this one was a lot better. after that shawn silvaniesteph and i headed over to mike's at the crossroads. i hadnt really eaten anythign for the last couple of days so i couldnt eat too much before i felt queasy. we all came back to my house and watched taxi driver till 1:30a. mp3 player works like gangbusters. though the ibm 60gb has a terrible whine in its spindle speed. it is pre fluid bearings and glass platters i think. may have to pick up one of those silent maxtors
crit?: 1work, spent 5hrs on tryin gto get an exim filter to work (to add an email disclaimer to all outbound email based upon a dns match) went to a gallery openeing that a couple of friends were in @ ssu. pretty meh. there were a couple of surprises but it wasnt a great show overall. had some good talks with former classmates/peers. came home and worked on mp3 player. picked up an external usb cage. so i have a p2 300 laptop with 60 gb attached, an infrared controller all hooked into big stereo and sitting atop ent. center. its pretty bad ass. or at least i think it is . i couldnt find a $2 adapter in my bag of tricks that i /know/ i had when i moved. ill have to pick that up tomorrow to finish the connections.
crit?: 0took some photos today, i am amazed by the quality. the polarizer/filter does a lot for that. drove to san rafael to set a jobsite up with a canon s230. took some site photos while i was there. after work went drawing. drew in book.

today work was mega emotional, political and taxing. drove to santa rosa 3 times. got my new camera. it is just beyond words. picked up a case and cap for the extra adapter + filters (got those filters for $89, not $199) while in santa rosa for the third time i dropped by my parents to vent. got a meal out of it too. invited folks to house on mothers day for breaky. i drew in the little book tonight, camera seems to take far superior close up + detail shots of drawings, though what you are seeing here is a scan...
crit?: 1work, then went home and worked on a media pc i am building. picked up a 120GB drive today @ compusa... rang up as $159, $80 mir off of that not bad eh? WD 120GB SE. had a lot of projects to work on @ home. stuff to keep busy. got a really nice fan-mail thing... fuel for the fire eh?
crit?: 0here is the little book page from the other night. its not done, or good. forgot to mention i have an album cover up over @ songfight now. i wont be adding it to my gallery until they are done with it, so if you want to see it go to their site: songfight.org... also while you are there listen to the entries and help them out with their competition.
crit?: 0dropped off subwoofer for repair. im either going to put in a HTPC or buy an apex 2500 to play mp3s in the living room. my panasonic rv31 just aint cuttin it with high bit rate, vbr mp3's... and happy bday to chris.
crit?: 1got upsold on camera, i think i may send back the filters as they were too pricey. camera shipped out today though, should have it tuesday. fixed up old laptop and got debian all installed on it.
crit?: 0wen tto work, didnt get _ANY_ sleep last night. went to the dr's and got some pills. hopefully the hives will go away now. went and saw the rum diary and jasper's band "john wayne crucifix" play @ the tradewinds. TRD was good as they always are, played 4 new tracks that i dont have. JWC was good, but luke's vocals/PA were low so it kinda dragged down the music.
