I woke up this morning and my Internet service was dead. I called the hotline and set up a time for a tech to show up, and now the service is back up and running (obviously). I guess I’ll cancel the appointment with the tech. I get INCREDIBLE upload/download speeds down here, at least twice what I got in Crescent City. Right now my torrents are going at 50kb/s upload. I could barely get 10kb/s upload in Crescent City.

I spent a bit of time on DDRfreak.com and I found a few locations around here. I decided on the Century 16 theatres over on Garfield. There were some bowling alleys (ick) and “family fun centers” (read: a bunch of bratty kids and attendants who think you’re a child molester). And I always used to play at a theatre…so how bad could it be? My orientation at the college is tomorrow at 1 p.m., and I’m going to set up a counseling session right after that. I really hope I don’t have to have official transcripts for this crap. It’ll take another week for those losers at CR to send me another copy, and I don’t want to wait that long to register.

I went foraging around Sacramento today, ostensibly to find the post office. It was only a few blocks away, but I needed cash so I went to my bank, and then saw some stores so I stopped at Wal-Mart (irony of ironies, I’m in a place where there are a million stores and I go to Wal-Mart) to pick up some toiletries. I must locate a Target that’s closer than the Birdcage (area around the Sunrise mall). I have a feeling I’m going to stop clarifying where all these places are very quickly…I hope it doesn’t dilute what I’m trying to say.

Anyway, I must say that I LOVE the street names around here. I’m a little obsessed with signs and typography, and the streets around here just have such a beautiful ring to them: Fair Oaks, Arden Way, Manzanita, Fulton Avenue, Marconi Avenue, Sunrise Boulevard, the Capital City Freeway, I’m just in love with all the sans-serif glory of this area. So needless to say, I enjoyed my little jaunt today.

After I got back I lounged around in the hammock in the back yard, enjoying the sun and listening to music on my iPod. I was in such a good mood today, I was singing along to every song in the car. I still am in a good mood. I’m halfway done with my application for the camera store that Becky works at. It is SO much more detailed than I ever imagined. The ‘Net was out, so I couldn’t finish a few parts of it.

Well, I think I need to blow off some steam (and get back to an activity that reminds me of happier times), It’s off to the Century 16. I really hope this isn’t the one that Taggart and I went to see Big Fish at. Ick. Kelly says that I should message him. I really don’t see the point.

Man, I have SO much stuff to talk about I can’t even stand it. I have like three weeks of pent-up blog posts exploding from my neurons. I’d better stop now or my brain is just going to explode.
