The Diary of Antoine Roquentin

I’m over at Adrian’s house…we’re going to watch L.I.E. tonight…and I don’t know what I’m doing tomorrow. I got my sexy 500GB drive today and it’s all set up and all the backup whirlymagigs are all copying and syncing my files. It said it would take like 6 hours to copy the 200GB of data already on my other drive, so I’m glad I’m out doing things while my computer slaves away. It’s sort of like having a personal assistant.

I’m still not quite sure what I’m doing on my birthday, but I’m sure things will work themselves out. Grammie is going to be gone all day tomorrow, so we’re going to do something on Sunday. Oddly enough, I talked to my relatives Art and Marian out in Placerville (my grandpa and the lady he remarried) this morning…they are going to come and visit me soon, and they said they sent a card. I guess my grandpa isn’t doing so well lately…he’s losing his eyesight and such. I need to get a car and go visit them before it’s all over.

Work really sucked…I was only there for like three hours due to a transit mix-up…and the fact that it gets dark really really early now that Daylight Savings Time is in effect.

I’m in LOVE with my new drive. It boggles my mind that 500GB can fit in that adorable, brushed aluminum enclosure. It makes my old drive look antiquated and ugly. I’ll put pictures up soon. I really want two of them, so I could RAID-1 them and have truly fault-tolerant storage. And I’d like a portable 80 gig drive to mirror my internal hard drive so that it’s also RAID-ed. Eh, I should probably pay off my credit cards. I got within $40 of my limit this pay period. I never thought I could be so broke. However, I’m sure I’ll get copious birthday loot!

Next on my list is a Palm TX with portable keyboard…and a huge display. Eh, I’ll never pay off my debts. I love stuff too much.

Speaking of cool stuff, my friend Tamora sent me a whole package full of canvases! I can’t wait to start on them, but I’ve been oddly busy…not with work but just with…well, actually, I’m not sure what I’ve been so busy with. I haven’t had a whole weekend to just fool around on the computer for a while. That’s penciled in for next weekend. I can’t wait to play around with the sweet new prerelease software I downloaded earlier in the week. Once all my stuff is sufficiently backed up and redundant, I’m going to have so much fun exploring the new OS I downloaded. Well, I should sign off. I’ve been trying to get ahold of Kelly…I guess I should give her another call.

In other news, that douche hat I met at Kelly’s party keeps calling me…he wants me to fix his computer, but it’s totally a ploy. *turns phone off*

Tomorrow should be extremely fun! And even if it’s not in the traditional sense of booze and babes, it will be in the sense of sexy prerelease software dripping with bleeding-edge as-of-yet untested features.

Me and Adrian are going to get sushi at Rice Bowl tomorrow, that’s about the only plan I have so far. That should be delicious and fun.
