I got to work this morning and there was no one there…literally. I initially was pleased that I got one of the coveted all-day parking spaces, but as I went to find the coworkers that I usually get work from, nobody was there. So I started up the G5 and read tuaw for a bit. I eventually asked the one guy that was here if anybody else was supposed to make an appearance.

Weird.

Well, I went up and found the right person after that and she taught me the database we use. However, I told her all about what you can do with a File Maker Pro database and they were really excited about it. I’m going to have to install File Maker on my home computer and play with it for a while…the database I built for my old work was on File Maker 7 and the new version 8.5 is supposed to have all these cool features I need to brush up on.

I’ve been at this “barbecue” at Katie (my roomate)’s boyfriend Andrew’s house. We’ve been here since like 4 p.m. and it’s almost 8 and nothing has been cooked yet. However, there are a million computers here and we’re all pacified by the interwebs. Katie’s playing Tontie, this odd game on ebaumsworld, and Seinfeld is on the TV.

We have so much food though…all this meat and delicious pasta from Katie’s work…anyway…we got some food at the store and we’ll have two loaves of bread at Food Source.

Adrian is hanging out with his ex Nick. I wanted to go shopping today…but I guess I still got some done. Apparently they’re at our apartment playing EV Nova. I’m less than thrilled, but we’re having a good time. This one guy here has a G5 with a 30″ display…it’s SO hot. I talked with Patrick on the phone for like forty-five minutes today, it was really refreshing. I’d been sort of down lately and it really cheered me up talking to him.

Well, I should go. The food’s ready. Yay!

I would have blogged earlier today, but I woke up this morning and my keyboard was literally full of water. I think I knocked a glass of something onto it in the middle of the night…but the glass of water near it was upright when I woke up. Maybe I set it back upright in my sleep. Hmm.

But anyway, I had to take out like twenty screws in the thing and take out all these plastic films inside and meticulously dry them all out under the ceiling fan. So now, at 5 p.m. I’m on the web.

I want to write something long with voice-rec, but Adrian is in here. Maybe next week.

He hasn’t gotten another job yet. However, my job is going very well. It seems I’m doing an okay job so far. I totally took over the dual 2.5GHz G5 with the 23″ Cinema Display that they bought a week or two ago. The lady that bought it for the office keeps saying all these snarky things to me about using it, to which I really want to respond with “Um, lady…I know you chat on AIM all day so you can just shut the front door.” She has her computer set to make these cartoony sound effects when she does ANYTHING so it’s like ’60s Mickey Mouse shows are playing all day long. But, on the whole, I like the people there and they have been really nice to me. The only person I don’t really get is my boss. I don’t know whether he’s pleased with my work or not or whether I’m interrupting him when I bring him things.

But meh. It seems like I’m doing an okay job. I’d be very surprised if I got fired. All I’ve been doing lately is watching downloaded Star Trek: Voyager and Star Trek: TNG with Adrian. I wonder what my grandma thinks I’ve been doing. I went over there a few days ago and got my keyboard (it’s all set up here, except GarageBand crashes when I change the sound output to the headphones) and cleaned up the room at my Grandma’s…it totally looks like I moved out.

My car is on its last legs…but it’s cool. I’m going to take the train tomorrow. I’m paying my credit card back, it’s now only at $570…instead of almost $700. I’m playing with my keyboard, playing along to Letters to Cleo and Muse. It’s fun :)

I think I’m going to print out some sheet music and play something real.

I’ve been working on Kelly’s photography website. Check out the new version. Nothing really works, but the design is finalized. All that’s left is the busy work.

Went to the Massive Attack concert Friday. It was FUCKING INCREDIBLE.

There are no words.

Me and Kelly were in the FRONT ROW.

We were FIVE FEET FROM ROBERT DEL NAJA–THE HOTTEST MAN IN EXISTENCE.

Horace Andy sang “Angel” and a few other songs, and so was the girl that sings Unfinished Sympathy, and the girl that sings with Del Naja on Group Four…it was the hottest thing ever.

They played MEZZANINE.

They played GROUP FOUR!

It was fucking orgasmic.

In other news, Adrian lost his job at the call center. They said they called him for an important meeting and he never showed up for it. Even now, he hasn’t checked his voicemail. Um.

Did I mention I’m now living with him at Katie’s house?

We moved in with funds from Adrian’s dad, and I need to procure a second job so I can pay the rent by the end of October. Also, I’m moving in with Kelly once Lacey moves out. Apparently Lacey can’t afford the rent and has done all these odd things to Christen and Kelly.

Right now all I’m listening to is that new Muse song called “Starlight” that I have stuck in my head from listening to the radio (in the absence of iPod integration in my car). PLEASE GODS, let my iTrip arrive tomorrow. I’ve also been obsessively listening to the Massive Attack songs I heard live.

I went to IKEA a few days ago and got a computer desk and chair. They look SO damn cute! All I need is a flat panel display and I will have the hottest computer setup ever. The desk, however, is the only furniture in the room. I’m pretty sure I’m going to get sick of sleeping on the floor soon.

I did get my first paycheck from the job downtown on Friday. I have to pay my car insurance in one or two more days, and I want to just let it lapse and instead take public transit. Katie’s house is right near a train station.

Well, I made some oatmeal and it should be done by now, so I’m going to go.

This is the first time I’ve been away from Adrian for a while. I hope he’ll get a job soon and we’ll both have some private time. I need to be able to blog without anyone listening.

I went out and picked up Adrian after work…he was nodding off so they let him go early. He doesn’t notice when he’s out of it.

I’m very hesitant about moving in with Katie when I’m so damn broke.

I’m not feeling as depressed though.

I need to get to sleep at a reasonable hour tonight.
