Akzidenz-Grotesk…represent.
Just finished my portfolio site.
Went from sketches to scanning a ton of shit to finishing the design in 8 hours.
8 hours writing at work.
8 hours doing web design at home.
My wrists are fucking dead.

| I’m eating breakfast at Safeway…got up way too early.
This blogging client still sucks…but the keyboard makes it awesome. I dunno. I tried loading WordPress through the phone’s browser, but it crashed it. I’ll have to try it on Opera Mobile. I got up way too early today, so I thought I’d go shopping…that only ended up taking about fifteen minutes, unfortunately. I guess I should go in to work soon. Last night was fun, I went over to Christen’s house and we went on this long walk with her dog down to the park near her house. It was very relaxing. We talked about how we really needed the trip to San Francisco this weekend. I feel like I’m turning over a new leaf of insecurity…I am determined to lose like 10-20 pounds by the time I goto New York…but since I only have two weeks left that doesn’t seem quite attainable. I’m sick of having friends that I’ve had sex with. It corrupts everything. Allen and Christen are back together –sorta — or something. They’ll probably be on-and-off for a while. I always thought she was kind of settling cause she is so much hotter than him, but I was ignoring the key. Allen is totally crazy…and crazy is hot. Aaron is crazy in his own way, but not in an artistic, quixotic way. Which, I guess, is his tragedy. I kind of enjoy getting up this early. I could get used to it. I’m probably going to be blogging from the scooter stakeout tomorrow morning. Zero is trying to fuck over Aaron, and I’m not sure why. Could be that he’s just mean. Or stupid. Or insane. Or maybe he just has nothing better to do. After last night, I feel better. Being around Christen really recharges my battery…it feels great to be around someone I don’t have to censor myself around…someone who can introduce me to cool new music and stuff. I feel like I’m stuck in this rut of having friends I also sleep with, and it’s time to escape that. It’s time to get back to basics. Back to blogging. Back to being me. OMG I downloaded this AMAZING IM client for my N95, it allows you to set status messages, it automatically sets you as away after a certain time, and you can click on links people send. Even YouTube links work! They open in the phone’s video player! The new cool thing with me is not using my MacBook and just using my phone. Maybe then I can justify getting a MacBook Air. Maybe. Well, I should probably head to work…I have to get off early so I can work on my portfolio. |
| So…I’m posting this from my phone.
I was feeling like wasting some money, so I went down to Fry’s yesterday and picked up the svelte Apple Wireless Keyboard, so I can pair it with my N95 and write full posts no matter where I am. The odd thing is that I do have my computer in my backpack, but I don’t really feel like writing on it. I guess I just don’t feel inspired, what with my endlessly cluttered desktop. I’ve been working on my work website all day…it’s so exhausting. And now I have to finish my portfolio…the open house thing is the 26th, this Saturday. I’m royally fucked if I don’t get it done. And I’m also fucked about getting my scooter fixed… the damn dealership is booked all month. I’m going to have to show up on Saturday and hope that I get in…it’s first-come, first-served on Saturday, apparently. I’m sitting on Christen’s step outside her apartment typing on my little keyboard…just broke out the first wrist brace. No, this isn’t weird at all. I feel like I haven’t written in centuries. I’ve been feeling this fog of lies and deception clouding my life. And I’m sick of it. My back has been hurting like crazy these last few days…I did some yoga last night, that helped a bit, but I’m going to have to do it on a regular basis if I want any kind of results. I’ve also been jogging on blacktop, which is good for my metabolism, is not so good for my spine. I keep being able to jog farther and farther, yet I have yet to see much results. Eh, whatever. I’m thinking of walking over to Naked to get coffee…but I hate their coffee and I hate hanging out there. I feel kinda cheap today because Yahoo Domains screwed me out of $30 and because every time I called it was such a long hold time it took me a week to get through and by then they couldn’t reverse the charge. Lame sauce. It was exciting to talk to someone from inside a big company like Yahoo though. I joked to the guy “so…is it still going to be $30/year if Microsoft buys you?” I wonder how up on corporate shit the call center workers are. He knew what I was talking about…there’s got to be a rumor mill. After all, that’s what Valleywag is. I must say, since getting my N95, I don’t read Engadget Mobile any more. Or even Engadget, for that matter. My phone is awesome and is a multimedia computer in every sense of the word. *smile* I went to Lipstick last night…it was less than exciting. I mean, I was totally down for the idea of going out and doing stuff, but the reality of having to be around strangers really turned me off on the experience. Lame. I really don’t like this mobile blogging client. It doesn’t wrap the text half the time, and it will obscure your text with these white boxes that come out of nowhere. That ’s what we call sloppy programming. I think I’m guilty of a few of those crimes. |
I will never be skinny enough.
I will never be artistic enough.
I will never be smart enough.
I will never be indie enough.
I will never be rich enough.
I will never be cool enough.
I will never be attractive enough.
But enough to do what.
That is, that is, that is the question, now isn’t it.
Sleep time.
Couldn’t sleep until 3 a.m. last night, woke up at 8 for work.
Met Christen afterwards, we went on a long walk with her supercute dog.

Awesome corporate art. The pic doesn’t do it justice…all the panels flash like they are illuminated screens and many are mirrors…the whole sculpture is 5 stories tall.
Went to Safeway, got some french bread and balsamic vinegar and had dinner with Christen at her place. Stayed up till 1 a.m. trying to fix her wireless Internet.
Went home, had a glass of water, uploaded my photos, and it’s bedtime.
All in all, not a bad day. Although there’s this clusterfuck involving my bank…I’m not overdrawn (yet) so I don’t have to complain about it. But the SF trip might not be happening the way I currently envision it. We’ll see.
