I just wrote a post..dagnabbit! 0

I just wrote a post and it got lost because my stupid computer at work crashed. I was rooting around in the settings and I have a feeling that I know why it was such a shit machine. Someone turned off virtual memory! What a loon, whoever did that. I turned it back on and hopefully this thing won’t crash as much. Well anyway, I was working on an XML Feed link on my blog (you can see my attempts to the left) and I know how to do it now, but I can’t do it on a mac. But anyway, I stopped because it was a tangent. But it’s like twelve now and I have to stay here until 1:30. So I thought I’d take a blog break. OMG this is UBER top secret until Monday. Well, I shouldn’t blog it. I’ll wait until Monday, cuz if word gets out it could be disastrous for one of my friends. I’ll miss him. Oh well. I should search the web for color film developing and see what chemicals are what before I do that inventory. Actually I am going to go do that now. It’s the day before payday! Yay! I’m going to get to work. I hope the virtual memory settings will make this thing crash less.

uber-fun night and uber-tiredness 0

I’m bored. Today was uber-fun, although I forgot that I was supposed to proofread one of my mom’s papers. She never sent me an e-mail to remind me though, so I blame her. Tomorrow is the day before payday! Which is glorious because I get to date everything in the future, i.e. the date of payday, which makes it seem SO much closer. Mike bothered me about the maps today before I left so I went to the Parks place and it turns out that the Smith River Recreation Area is some red-headed stepchild or something and it was some different agency or some bullshit and I supposedly have to go to Gasquet to ask about it. Fuck that. I might call long distance from the Triplicate tomorrow. Well I guess that isn’t long distance. It is to me. That Jared dude was pretty funny, except when he’d launch into long quotes of stand-up comedians. My back was KILLING ME today, it’s all the sitting I do. I sit while I drive to work, I sit while I’m at work, I sit driving to the college, I sit in the Drift office…it’s really bad. My “check engine” light is still on in my car, I’m going to tell my dad about it tomorrow. I thought it would go off today, but it didn’t. I drove around a lot today, if it was going to die then it should have died tonight. I’m going to have to get it looked at. It will piss me off to have to pay a shitload of money to fix that car.

I’m becoming obsessed with www.ratearod.com, it’s so addictive! I have seen some really disturbing penises on that site, but also some really cool ones. I’m really tired so I went to bed early instead of watching Aqua Teen Hungerforce. I should probably be getting to sleep instead of blogging, it’s already 12:27. So many witty things were said tonight, I can’t remember them all, but here are the ones that stuck in my memory:

“He kisses like a squid.” –Sammie

(after Sammie caught a towel on fire getting the pizza out of the oven)  “Wow, to complete our extreme pizza experience all we need is a flying midget on fire!” –Me

There were so many more, I wish I could have written them all down. When I get money I’m going to get one of those little voice recorders and carry it around with me everywhere.

I was in the bathroom today without a shirt on and I realized I’m getting a bit tubby. I need to start working out again. My “drive my car everywhere and never walk” lifestyle is catching up with me. I need to get into the habit of jogging after work. Crap, it’s 12:34, must post this and go to sleep. OMG, Tawna told me that Sammie broke up with Joe but he didn’t show any emotion, which was so sad. And she told me he like, stripped in the Denny’s parking lot in front of everyone to change. Disturbing. I love ratearod, because there’s one glorious feature: comments. Mostly there’s the “oh yeah screw me with that tool” boring crap, but once in a while there are really funny ones. I can’t remember any now because it’s really late but next time I see one I’m going to post it. Okay, I’m posting this now. I’m loading Blogger and I notice it uses a seven-digit number to identify each blog, and I randomly decided to calculate how many blogs they could have using this seven-digit system. The answer is: 8,235,430. Exactly eight million, two hundred thirty five thousand, four hundred thirty. Amazing. They use a longer string for identifying posts.

It’s weird, my body odor smells like chicken boullion. I’m wondering if I should see the doctor about this.

clubhouse 0

It’s 10:15 and we’re in the clubhouse. I went to the college but nobody was there so I decided to go home, but I saw Tawna walking down Washington, so we went to Sammie’s house. We wanted pizza so Tawna and Sammie pawned some DVD and VHS movies so they could chip in, we picked up this dude named Jared or something like that and we hung out. He’s really cool. We played Cranium and then we went to the pier. It was really cold so we went to the pier.. I’ll finish this in a sec we have to take Jared home. Okay back, I’m at home. After the pier we went to Denny’s and had hot chocolate, it was yummy. Then we went to the clubhouse and hung out for a while, we showed Jared bunnies and badger, he loved them. Jared had to go screen The Village (he works at the movie theatre) so we all went home.

900 posts! 0

yay, I’ve reached 900 posts! Sweetness. Well, I’m at work and I’ve finished everything I should be doing, but Mike is at lunch and I don’t want to leave yet because I should talk to him before I leave. Hmm, what am I going to do after I get off work. For one I’m going to go to the college. Maybe I’ll get some blank DVDs. I’m going to need them anyway. But I guess having a sweet computer to burn them with should take precedent over the blank DVDs. $30 is a lot of money. I must wait until Friday. OMG, the stupid check engine light still hasn’t turned off. I’m going to tell my dad about it when I get home. Oh, I know what I should do, I should put gas in my tank. I’m almost on empty. I should check my bank balance. My online banking says I have $54, that seems right. It includes my last withdrawl. I’ll put ten bucks in my tank, that should hold me over until payday. Had a fun day at work, Jocelyn and John are funny and cool. John told us a hilarious story about drinking at college, it was great. Mike just came over with some letters to the editor that I should type up. He is asking me to do an inventory of the chemicals in the darkroom, I’m going to ask Diane Keane for a crash course in color developing and try to entice her to call Mike and sell herself (not that way) as a person who knows about photography (which she is!). Oh well. Must type this last letter then get the hell out of Dodge. I wonder where that colloquialism came from. My mom used to say it.

Eric sucks Eric sucks Eric sucks 0

I’m at work and have just seen another abysmally bad B-section, courtesy of Eric. I wish I got paid exorbitant amounts of money to create amateurish layouts with titanic chasms of white space. GRR. I just had to rant on how much it sucked. All his B-sections look EXACTLY THE SAME. Three photos with a big headline in a quirky font with a crapload of white space everywhere and a three-inch story in a square somewhere. HIS B-SECTIONS ALL SUCK. His horribly amateurish layouts sicken me to the bottom of my soul.

I (heart) CSS! 0

I love cascading style sheets because they are SO cool! Change one file and change how all the pages in your website are displayed! it’s so sweet! Well, it’s like 1:00 a.m. and my CSS binge must end. I’m going to bed.

templates and CSS 0

I just finished teaching myself cascading style sheets (CSS). It’s really cool, and I used it to make this prototype of a template. It’s going to end up looking much cooler, but this is the beginning. Watched a great ATHF (aren’t they all great?), I’m going to go to bed soon after I finish a few more tweaks on my template.

How many surrealists does it take to screw in a light bulb?

BANANA!

templates and CSS 0

Yay, feedster should have my feed indexed in the next 24-36 hours! Yay! I’m listening to LaunchCast radio. It’s cool. I just realized that I can make CSS in Dreamweaver. I’m so reinstalling Studio MX when I get home. I need to make the pics page on my website. And to make a dope custom Blogger template. It’s now time for Photography and since Amanda told me that the semester is almost over I’ve decided to go. Well, in reality what’s going to happen is I’m probably just going to hang out here until she’s done with math and then hang out with her until Photography is over. Oh well. I must stop typing, it’s killing my hands.
