TOP 5 HOTTIES

Happiness — A. @ 2:48 am

At 1 a.m., I’m inspired to do many things, one of which is two randomly obey the commands of my blogosphere buddies. Amanda posted a list of her top 5 people she’d like to fuck. And I must put in my five cents as well. The countdown begins!

At number one, we have the indomitable Brian Molko (center), the singer for Placebo. One word: delicious. He sort of old now, but in his prime he was the ubersexy god of androgynous SEXINESS. Watch the “Pure Morning” video if you want to see the sex at work.

James Duval. Oh… what can I say that isn’t said by this picture? All those incredible Gregg Araki movies would be nothing without the pensive, sexy figure of James Duval punctuating every scene. *spooge*

Milla Jovovich Yes…I know, I’m gay. And she’s old enough to be my mom. But LOOK AT THAT! I want to get shot by her, that’s for damn sure. So fucking hot.

Steve Jobs Yes, I know…how silly of me. But look at him. He was a millionaire back then. And not so bad looking, by millionaire standards. If I squint my eyes he sorta looks like that guy from That 70s Show. Give him a shave and some glamming up, and we would be hitting the clubs, Apple-style.

Werner Heisenburg - I had to Google it just to be sure, but it turns out that my darling Werner was actually not so bad looking! And to think of all the incredible discoveries he made! I don’t know about you, but it turns me on to know that the outcome of the universe isn’t fixed. And then there’s the whole ‘former Nazi’ thing, which is even sexier! j/k

YES!!!!!!!

Happiness, Tech lust — A. @ 3:46 pm

I WANT TO MAKE LOVE TO DISK UTILITY! Twenty minutes on my Mac at work was all that was needed to fix my iPod. YAY!!!!!! I’m in ecstasy. *orgasm!*

Also: a new record, 97 spam comments today. And I haven’t even opened my email client today, there’s probably a hundred more.

UPDATE: The record is now 161.

creativity, a puzzle party, and DDR.

Happiness, jamais vu — A. @ 3:03 am

> Modjo - Rollercoaster
> Lacquer - Time for Yesterday

Today was pretty fun, I got off work early and got to walk over to beachfront park and take a bunch of photos. I posted them all on my flickr gallery.

I love this one:

dead bird, weird pipe

Anyway, after that I went over to Misty’s house and we talked for a bit. Then I went up to my house, took a nap, ate dinner (spaghetti, yum!), and went up to my class in Brookings. I think that I’ve gotten over the part of the math that I was getting stuck on, but I’m having to solve these incredibly complex, tedious problems. I have to spend even more time doing my work now. Grr.

I don’t know why, but I have this incredible desire to create art now. Like, I can’t even fight it. I HAVE to take a million photos a day, even if most of them are crap. I think that the creative part of my brain is fighting the logical math part. I sort of enjoy the duality. Well, after my class was over I went into town and played dance revolution for a while. I was still pretty good, but I would always die on the last song. Like, right before it would end my life bar would run out. I guess I’m just not as good as I used to be. But I will soon fix that.

Today I told Misty that I couldn’t move in with her, and she was fine with it. That felt good. Now I have to tell Matt that I can’t work on his web site. I’m so tired today.

I ended up running into Misty and Katelyn (the one that I went on the trip with) at the movie theatre, and we met back at Misty’s house. We ate this delicious ham and lima bean soup that Misty had made and watched the end of 50 First Dates. Then we got this puzzle out that Misty had been working on for a few months and we started on that while watching Will and Grace. After Will and Grace we got such a craving for ice cream, so I drove us over to Safeway. I got all natural mint chocolate chip, and it was de-freaking-licious. We kept going on the puzzle for hours, watching Sex and the City and this prurient “cheaters” show, finishing the puzzle around 1:30 a.m. I put like five pieces in, but still…I helped. Me and Katelyn had this cool convo about David Lynch and weird movies, and I was able to supply her the name of Lost Highway, a David Lynch movie she’d seen but couldn’t remember the name of.

I’m hungry and tired. Last night I dreamt that I took my iPod swimming with me and it got in the water and the headphone plug broke, turning into a plug made of clear plastic covered with thin tin foil that was flaking off. But it was still playing music even though it was all full of water. Weird.

Oh yeah, I have great news. One of my coworkers is going on vacation so I’m going to have to cover for her for three weeks which means I basically have a full-time job all through November. And guess what I’m going to get!

I really want the 23″ display, which is $1100, but I probably will only be able to afford the 20″ display, which is $700. I really like my current monitor, but I have outgrown it. I can’t deal with only 18 in. of workspace. That means I have to cram every single thing I do into 18 in. Yes, I know. Not possible. With this new display all be doing lots more work and less alt+tab. I hate it when I think that I’m done toning a photo, then I zoom out and realize that I’ve just done the rectangular center of the photo and it looks ridiculous.

And I also want a great digital camera. My current one is perfect for taking pictures for online viewing, but it only makes prints that are like 8×6 in. and I really want to get into the whole digital photography thing where you print out your prints instead of just uploading them to flickr, and to do that I’m going to need a camera with more than three megapixels.

Omg. The more I read William Gibson’s Neuromancer, the more I realize that the Wachowski brothers (creators of the Matrix trilogy) basically stuck Neuromancer on the copy machine and made millions of dollars. Guess what the orbital space station where the characters are staying now is called? Yes, you guessed it. Zion. And the descriptions of the characters that inhabit this place are exactly like the ones that are in the Zion from the Matrix movies.

It’s still sort of interesting though, to see what the moviemakers took from the book and what they didn’t. I wish this was a Philip K. Dick novel, because I would know that there was going to be some incredible twist at the end. Well, they’re still might be. I just have to be patient.

Crap. I need to go to bed. I put off doing some work yesterday, and it’s going to catch up with me tomorrow. Damn people. Why do they have to keep dying? They bore me by dying. When they die in droves, my workload goes through the roof. Old people are lemmings. Well, I should go to sleep.

Eureka, clothes, and fun

Happiness — A. @ 10:13 am

It’s been awhile since I’ve blogged. Let’s see… I went on that trip to Eureka with Misty and that other person, and it turned out at the other person wasn’t the person that I thought that she was taking it all. I thought the trip would totally suck, but it was actually really really fun. It turns out at the girl that she brought and I have the same birthday, and all sorts of other stuff. We got along very well. I got a bunch of new clothes, a cigarette lighter power charger thing for my iPod, and a new belt. I spent a lot of money, but I can’t really feel bad about it because I got so many cool new clothes and such. And I didn’t go over my balance either. I also got some new shoes! They’re very nice, and very comfortable.

I also have some pictures from the trip, but that would require me to open Photoshop and do a bunch of stuff that I don’t feel like doing this morning. My wrists hurt quite badly this morning, and I don’t know why. Anyway, the hotel we stayed in was quite affordable, and very nice. I wasn’t even grossed out about taking a shower in it, and I am so picky about my hotel rooms.

Well, I’d better get dressed. I got a white dress shirt, and I’m wanting to include it in my outfit today, but I really don’t want today to be the day where everybody is commenting on my clothing. One day I wore a brown blazer and everyone was freaking out because it wasn’t black. I don’t enjoy such attention.

I wanted to ride my bike to work this morning, since I rode the three-mile loop yesterday and it felt great. However, there is a big difference between riding 3 mi. and riding 10 mi. I would have to start out much much earlier than normal just to have some sort of safety cushion in case I got exhausted. Well, I should get ready. More details about the trip will follow.

PS: I started J.G. Ballard’s Concrete Island yesterday, and I’m about halfway through it. It’s a really interesting novel, but it’s much shorter than I ever thought. It’s more like a novella. It’s around 170 pages, but the margins are absolutely enormousand the type is a bit large as well. I’m loving the idea of the story more than Ballard’s style of writing, but they combine to make it the cool story that it is.
