1:04 am - On Texas
|
So, we'll be moving out there around the 18th, meaning we'll be in Austin for my birthday which, interestingly enough, is the day after Tim's birthday. Kinda cool, that.
Speaking of birthdays, I totally get to go see Hanson in Austin on my birthday. Already bought the tickets. Fucking sweet. Indulging my secret love. -_-

3:35 pm - Austin
|
I will be paying a visit to Austin, TX next week. After this trip, we will be deciding on whether or not to move there. As of writing this, it looks like it's going to happen.
Hmm. Tejas.

So I bought a bottle of generic-brand Midol today, you know, the one designed to alleviate menstrual symptoms? Yeah. One of the warnings says, "Ask a doctor before use if you have trouble urinating due to an enlarged prostate gland."
...What the hell?

4:31 pm - I'm not dead.
|
I'm alive. I'm currently unemployed, this is both a good and a bad thing. I have kittens, this is a wonderful thing. I have a Tim, this is another wonderful thing.
I'm afraid my life isn't terribly interesting.

5:04 pm - Long time, no see.
|
Hi there! How are you? Been a long time, eh? Sorry I just sort of dropped off the face of the earth there for a while, been busy doing stuff. You know.../stuff/.
So last night I slipped in this puddle out by my mailboxes - they really ought to texture the cement there because the slick surface is a hazard. Anyways, my feet flew out from beneath me and I fell, my head bounced off of the cement and I suddenly found myself staring at the sky. I focused intently on the border between the branches of the tree above me and the pitch black sky as my world spun around me, willing myself to stay conscious. I could feel a bump beginning to form, so I started to lift my head, which only made me dizzier. Bad idea. I cupped my hands around the bump to prevent it from touching the ground while still allowing me to keep my head down, and I became vaguely aware of cold sprinkler water seeping into my hair and clothes. Focus. I pulled a had away from my head and looked at it. No blood. Focus. I prodded around the bump with my fingers, trying not to cry out in the process. Focus. I looked at my hand again, still no blood. Focus. An older Mexican man swimmed into my field of vision and offered me a hand, saying something that could have been in English or Spanish or even Cantonese and I still wouldn't have understood him. I gave him my hand and let him help me up. All I could say was, "Thank you, thank you, I'll be okay, I just need a moment, I'll be okay..." My vision slid in and out of focus as I stumbled up the stairs to my apartment and fumbled around in my bag for my keys.
I must have taken a bath after that, because when I woke up this morning my hair wasn't soaked in puddle water or coated with patches of mud. My head was pulsing with pain that sent waves of displeasure throughout my skull, originating from the huge lump which had formed on the back of my head. My eyes kept sliding out of focus, but if I stared straight ahead, blinked, and concentrated on refocusing my vision I found it would go back to normal after a little bit. Despite all this, I still wanted to go to work, but instead Jason dropped me off at the Emergency Room. They poked me for no more than 15 minutes, prescribed me some Vicoden, told me to take it easy today and to go back to work tomorrow. With this, they shooed me out the door and sent me off on my spinning-headed own. After wandering around Anaheim confused for about an hour and a half, I found the busses I needed to take home.
All this because when I was walking up to the building last night, I decided to stay on the cement because when wearing sandals, the wet grass will get your feet cold, wet and icky. I would have been drier and much happier had I walked on the grass.
I'm horrible at this game, but gods, is it ever fun.

11:20 pm - Of North and South
|
My initial reaction upon moving to Southern California was that in general the people down here were far stupider than those up in the Northern half of the state, but I've come to realize that the average person in Northern California is just better-read than their Southern counterpart. This gives the illusion of being far smarter without any of the actual benefits. Ignorance is everywhere, it is simply more literate up north.
I'm sorry for not having posted in a long time.

1:45 am - Goodnight Moon
|
I love these headphones, but the right channel goes out when they're turned all the way up, so the music has to be a little bit lower than full volume. It used to be a full headset but the original mic in them went out. I replaced it with a lapel-like mike clipped to where the original mike was.
Ghetto $5 headset from Shanghai ftw!

1:54 am - Ugh.

Okay.
I'm going to be really fucking upfront here, whoever's in charge.
I am pretty sick of this whole staying up really late at night in a fit of creative frustration thing. Either let me make something that's satisfactory and justify my exhaustion the next day or just let me get to sleep. This is like constantly masturbating and never getting to achieve orgasm, which, by the way, is also complete and utter bullshit. This whole artistic angst thing is getting really old really fast.
Okay, so last night was a good example. I wrote something. Sure, it was short, and yeah, I could have done much more with it, but at least I had something to show for it the next day. Tonight is a night of wadded up, discarded papers and frustrated deletions of documents before they're complete. Let's fix this /before/ 5 AM tonight, OK?

I finally write something creative and now I'm fucking wired.
I was hoping a creative outlet would, you know, help me sleep better.

 Is it just me or does she look really, really unnatural to you, too?
I'm afraid she might snap in half. ._.
I think it may have been photoshopped to look like this, but it doesn't strike me as attractive, I'd much rather see how she looks without photo editing.
Call me a harpy if you will, I'm just worried about little girls who are growing up seeing an ideal that's physically impossible for a normal person to acheive. I think photoshopping models is one of the worst crimes against natural feminine beauty there is.

8:07 am - Surreal.
|
My father died. I cried, got angry, and then, felt a strange nothingness. I feel like I'm missing something.
I don't think it's really hit me yet.
I tried playing Katamari Damacy to take my mind off things, made an already very surreal situation even moreso.

11:13 pm - Brushes with Art
|
I've fallen in love with Threadless. I discovered it through a sticker placed on the podium in my Jazz History class. Here's one of the many awesome designs (I'm considering buying one for myself since there's a ten dollar sale going on):
I went to the UCSD campus last week to meet up with a couple of people from the internet. One of them was this guy who has been hitchhiking around since he quit his job. Pretty nifty stuff, he has some interesting stories. We went to the zoo, which was rad, but - hey, shit, I was talking about UCSD. Anyways, so UCSD has a fucking awesome art building. I could spend hours in the stairwells, absorbing the images on the walls. They were covered in art. Some of this art looked like tags, others looked like they belonged in a museum, but all of them were layered one on top of the other, paint upon paint, genius and folly alike covered by the layers of the new generation of paint. Quotes, sayings, musings, rants, words, doodles, portraits, spray art, every inch of the walls, stairs, ceilings, and railing was covered in paint.
I stood in there, struck by the amazing temporary nature of it, and brushed my fingers over a spot of the wall on which someone had painted a portrait of an old man in a yellow sweater, and wished that I had some sort of artistic talent.

6:04 pm - Wow.
|
Uhm.
I guess there's really no other way to say this...
I won an Alienware gaming laptop at BlizzCon.
Obviously, I had an awesome birthday. BlizzCon was great, the people from my server that I met were really cool. The panels were incredibly informative, but I won't babble on about the specifics here, feel free to ask me through email about the expansion if you care at all. And then, the Sound-Alike contest.
Let me give you a little backstory. I was playing WoW, and one of the shopkeepers I ran into (in Moonglade, for those in the know) was a very pretty Elf. A clicked on her, and she had a number of sexy lines. "Hello," she crooned, "Feel free to browse. My goods are of the highest quality." I was on Ventrilo, the voice chat program used by my guild, and decided just for fun to try to do her voice. I did it pretty well, apparently, and I decided to enter the Sound-Alike contest at BlizzCon.
I didn't think I'd be one of the five winners, though. I just kinda did it for the hell of it, and now I have a sexy laptop that can run WoW better than my desktop computer can.
The concert was the other real point of interest of the Con, and that's rad because Jason and I thought it would suck. Before the show started, I madde friend with the group of people in front of us, who happened to be made up of Blizzard employees and friends. Pretty nifty folk, who then kicked my ass in the mosh pit, along with other fans and the Executive Producer of WoW. Took a harsh fall early on in the show on my tailbone and was pretty much out, it still hurts to move. It's cool, though, the rest of the show I acted as a pit mom, pulling up people who'd fallen and picking up lost shoes and holding them aloft for their owners to find. After the show, we went to Denny's and hung out for hours talking about Blizzard, WoW, gaming, geek life, and head trauma.
Man, those Blizzard guys are hardcore.
current mood:  energetic
current music: Sound of Silence. Literally.
