There’s a feeling that you sometimes get… The morning after a really good party. A quiet moment in the backseat of the car three hours into a car trip. Things like that. The feeling is really hard to describe. I guess if I had to put a word on it, it would be peaceful. Happiness, [...]
Sorry for so long since the last update, but I’ve been busy with my ninja training. I’ve been spending all my time lately convincing the school that I am, in fact, capable of graduating. They’ve got these strange ideas about it taking “effort” and “work” to graduate. I’m trying to convince them that the qualities [...]
I got my portfolio all updated today. The itch to redesign all my personal sites has been hitting me again lately. I found a good design online and pretty much stole it wholesale for my portfolio site. I would feel bad about it on any other site, but since all the content on that site [...]
“WATCH OUT! SON OF GUN! SUPER-HERO-NUMBER-ONE!!” – kmfdm – son of a gun I’m excited. It’s really really cool when someone that you’ve admired for awhile suddenly writes you an email saying great stuff. About a year ago, Steve showed me a link to this guy’s website. It’s the “best damn web page in the [...]
I was awake for 37 hours on Friday. It was pretty cool. Pulling an all-nighter on a night when you’re just goofing around is a very different experience than pulling an all-nighter desperately trying to finish a term paper in an hour that should have taken a week to write. Normally, all-nighters are such a [...]
say hello to the only person who was affected by the “Y2K bug.” That’s right. The bank ate my paycheck. I deposited my small check on December 30, and when I went back on January 1 to withdraw some cash, it showed the same balance as before I made a deposit. Needless to say, I [...]
Yarrrr… (I say that quite a bit… Pirate noises are the best). Well, since I last updated, the term has ended successfully! Out of my three classes this term, not one of them had a traditional final. Graphic Design III had a large final project which was due last week, and then we didn’t meet [...]
Wow… lots has happened. I’m really not even sure where to start… The term is almost over, which means that I’ve only got about six months of school left. That’s a really strange concept. I’ve been in school practically my whole life… 17 years of school. And soon that’ll all be over. On the one [...]
I almost wrote 11.9, but I guess since it’s 1am, it’s technically tomorrow. Strange concept. For me, it never really becomes tomorrow until I go to bed and wake up again. Makes things kinda screwy when I pull all-nighters. The whole next day, it feels like yesterday. I have had the greatest couple of days! [...]
Man, I did it again. Way too long since I last posted here. I have no idea where I left off… Halloween was awesome. I had THE BEST COSTUME IN THE WORLD! I dressed up as an Agent from the Matrix. When I told Annie my idea she got really excited and asked if she [...]
I’m in a thoughtful mood at the moment. I’ve been reading the fourth book in Whitley Streiber’s Communion series. It’s called The Secret School, and it’s about visitor encounters he had as a nine-year-old. He talks about when he had a severe fever (107 degrees) that lasted several days. Everyone thought he was going to [...]
Not much going on right now. School is sneaking up on me, and I suddenly feel an urge to finish tweaking websites. I’ve finished many miscellaneous fixes to my existing websites, and I have several more to complete, including a complete overhaul of spaceninja and reworking the interface for pdxhookup. Hopefully I’ll plow through these [...]
Well, I haven’t made an entry in two months. That’s a bit too long for an update, I think. Hmmm… what’s been going on with me… Annie and I are still getting along great, and life in our apartment is awesome. We’ve finally gotten over the debt that accompanies a move, and have gotten to [...]
On my way to work this morning, I was thinking, and I realized that Y2K is almost upon us… and no one seems to really care anymore. There was this huge media blitz around it, and then we were almost at war, and everyone forgot about it. Then once the “war” ended, people had forgotten [...]
Too scatterbrained to write much right now, so I’m going to update you by category. Girlfriend/Home: In case you didn’t hear, these two have merged. Annie and I live together now in a lovely place called Goose Hollow. We got a one-bedroom apartment with orange counter-tops, and got all moved in over three days. Things [...]
Hmm. Well… I could write about all the stuff that has happened lately, but that seems like a lot to do, so instead I’m going to tell you about this kickass website Ryan sent me. It’s at www.andrethegiant.com, or if you prefer, www.obeygiant.com. They both go to the same place. This website, apart from hosting [...]
Well, finals are almost over, and life is starting to become a little more managable. The big news is that I’m moving! I’m going to try to get the place today, and then Annie and I are moving in next Friday. This weekend I’m headed up to Ellensburg to help her move her stuff back [...]
Sorry it’s been awhile since I wrote, things have gotten pretty hectic around here. I’ll try to give you a nice complete picture of my life right now. Where should I start… how about Annie… Things with Annie are fantastic. I’m so completely in love with her that it feels kinda strange. I guess I [...]
Here we go… four weeks of school left. I’m really glad I’m only taking 14 credits this term, I think it’s really helping to keep my stress levels down. Things are proceeding at landslide speed, but I feel like I’m riding that landslide instead of falling down with it uncontrollably. It’s sort of an interesting [...]
What a weekend! I feel great! Well, actually, I feel kinda sick, but mentally and emotionally, I feel great! I just got back from a weekend in Ellensburg with Annie. She had been having a rough week, and was telling me that she was feeling pretty down because of all the reading she’d been doing [...]
Man, what a great weekend!! Everything’s just been going my way! Friday started out great… I slept in, went to my team meeting for work, ate pizza, and then we got out of the meeting early to go to the Tek Fair! I headed up there to see what there was to see, since Mark [...]
Well, here I am again at work. I’m a little bored. I’ve certainly got plenty to do, but I just don’t have any motivation to do it. I spent a good chunk of yesterday hanging out in the labs with Steve and Miles talking about our projects. It’s so cool when we all get together [...]
Wow… been awhile since I last wrote. Spring Break happened. Good break. Spent the entire time with Annie. We went to the beach, hung out at her place, then hung out at my place, and generally had a grand time. I had a psuedo-job interview after Jester referred me to a coworker, but they were [...]
The Matrix
OH MY GOD!!! oh jeez… So Good… SO SO SO GOOD!!! ahhhh… I just returned from seeing the Matrix. Okay, forget EVERYTHING anyone’s ever said to you about Keanu not being able to act. Forget all the crap people say about disappointing sci-fi special effects films. This movie will blow you away. SO GOOD!! I [...]
