crit?: 0TOO MANY VIGEO DAMES. ugh. felt the need to read. DROVE to library (anticipating more books than bike) needed $11 to pay fines from 2001. walked over to bank/atm. wouldn't accept my card. walked to treehorn, browsed, didnt find no nothing to buy. and i wanted to, so i could support treehorn. walked to other bank, got money, walked to library to pay fine and rent books. forgot my library card. got that sorted out, went library shopping. got a stack of books. a lot on northern carolina/roanoke. grabbed all but one garcia marquez book. they didnt have love in the time of cholera though. walked books to car, talked to pete. home. made lunch and read and read. erny and i met derek, liz, sam, scott and kendra for drinks @ the bel. then we went home by way of jack-in-the-box. which, in hindsight wasnt the best thing to feed ern on top of liquor

very tired today. i woke up @ 7, ern woke up @ 11. painted @ her aunt's house. stopped by my parents to pick up my calculator. cleaned the house a bit. monkeyed around.
crit?: 0woke up early, went to sebastopol, fixed a computer. grabbed another computer from leah on the way home. tinkered. went to the city to meet ern's cousins for drinks + dinner. taqueria, then drinks + pool. had a good time doing that. stepped outside of the bar and it was much brighter than i remembered it. SF is all lit up like day in the middle of the night. drove towards home. we stopped off in sausalito for a drink at a bar we went to on ern's bday. i had a coffee, ern had a gimlet: neat. drove towards home. i slightly fell asleep so i had to wake ern up to wake me up. got to bed around 2.

If there ever was a mascot to the MDI|SSU drawing social club, it would have to be the rabbit. Between influences and coincedences, the rabbit/bunny has followed us around and represented several different timelines and possibilities. Rising from the ashes like Will, ebbing and fading like Kurt or suddenly disappearing like ben. The bunny has always been central to imagery and close to people that we were close to.
Last night i went over to say my goodbye forevers to Shawn and Sil. They are leaving for Georgia on a jet-plane tonight at midnight for Shawn to begin his graduate degree at University of Georgia: Athens.
As Shawn and I were hanging out and getting closer to goodbye time, Julian appeared with a mummified rabbit on a lid. It didnt hit me till later that he had a lot of years of drawing, comradarie and friendship on that lid. I guess it means the age of the rabbit is dead. Last night the drawing in coffee shops, drawing on billboards and drawing night died. We've made plans to continue drawing, via 22x30" sheets of intercontinental paper and internet, but I hope this doesn't go the way of Tyler to Texas. I'll miss you Shawny-boy. Good luck in Georgia.
strawberry pancakes, rooster, strong coffee = sunday mornings. h8n the rooster part though. i beat star wars clone wars today, and made significant progress in metroid prime (2 whole percent!) otherwise, not much of anything. we cooked a good dinner though.
crit?: 2woke up to the rooster. went and chased it around the neighbors yard @ 6am or so. no resolution. it looks like someone has been shooting arrows at it though (in the neighbors yard) did jack doodly today. got a new couch with a pull out bed, rearranged the living room. sweltered. drank squirt. picked up patio furniture. we need to tighten it, sand it then oil then finish it. matches our deck right now though. shawn came over and we played video games and computered. i met some of my neighbors today.
crit?: 0and then it got more frustrating. i cant get this issue with accounting resolved. the makers of the accounting software/db cant figur eit out either. im throwing together a new network just for accntng to see if that is the issue.
crit?: 0despite the kr7a being agp 3.0/2.0 compat, and the radeon likewise, there is an incompatibility between the two. ati and abit blame it on psu issues on the internet. diff psu didnt resolve the issue so i'm upgrading my mobo and cpu. this week has been extrememly frustrating.
