Tuesday:

Argh.

I’m a little torn here. I hope you don’t mind. I don’t know what I should write about. One one hand, I want to entertain you, my ever-important and faithful audience. On other other hand, I just want to babble my crazy head off about whatever comes to mind.

On good days, those two goals work hand-in-hand (did you catch that… clever pun, huh?) and things go well. On others, the only things that come to mind are basically useless tidbits about my life and what a ridiculous life it is!

Anyway. I have opinions about lots and lots of things, but who doesn’t have an opinion these days? Opinions are a dime-a-dozen and always have been. I have ideas, too. Those are good, sometimes. If I give them all away, I’ll never be a fat rich bastard, though. If that isn’t gonna happen, I might as well just give up now.

You see my predicament, I hope. Any help would be appreciated.

Tuesday:

I’m going to Vegas! The whole idallas.com team (that’s me!) is heading to Las Vegas with Sage for Comdex! Wha-hoo!

I’m excited to check out the Be, Inc booth. That’s what’s dragging me all the way across the state…

I’m also excited to find out if my attempts at internet-based notoriety are panning out yet… I’m gonna pause in front of people to see if they recognize me… if they don’t, I’m just gonna mention that my friend Sage is “the Webring kid” and see if that rings a bell…

If not, I’ll be hurt, but it’ll only make me work harder!

Monday:

…and our water was fixed today. A couple of persistent drips had turned into indoor water sculpture. It was nice for when we had company over, but the constant sound of running water got old…

It took a long time for us to call the owners about the problem, but they fixed it pretty quick once I called them. That’s a dramatic departure from our previous repair requests… That’s a good thing.

Something that’s distressing me today (besides the sparse, unfocused nature of today’s update) is how hard it is to get to that point with someone where you can just kiss them all the time and not feel weird about it. There are so many steps before that, and the steps are all different for all people, and there’s no standards or anything so you have to play these sort of get-to-know-each-other games to also try to figure out if it’s even worth it…

I don’t know. I guess you probably get better at it.

Monday:

I had an odd experience today. I went to Fry’s yet again. This time I was picking up a new network card, another hub, and some more cable (to stretch across the house). Fun for the whole family. Ok. So… right after I exit the freeway, I see a sign saying UNITY with an arrow pointing in the direction of Fry’s. That’s cool, I think… and then I notice another sign saying RAGE pointing in the same direction. Weird, but whatever.

Then, while I was waiting in line to return the old network card I had bought (it was sucky), I overheard one of the dorks in the line next to me voicing his problems to the employee. I call him a dork because pretty much all people at Fry’s are dorks in some way or another. Anyway, he seemed to be saying that he had bought something at Fry’s and then paid to have it installed, and then it didn’t do what he wanted or something… and then he was mad because he couldn’t get that installation money back… what I wanted to know is how he could feel comfortable with himself actually admitting in public that he had paid to have something installed… c’mon, act like a dork!

Also, I later overheard some guy ask one of the sales people for a modem… he said he was going to be “downloading and stuff like that” … hmmm, technical guy I guess.

Also, I wondered to myself why almost everyone who works at Fry’s has an accent… what’s up with that?

Saturday:

I slept a lot again last night. Raar. Now I feel sort of overslept… like my head in rolling around in a tub of molasses.

I’ll deal, though.

Somebody complained that one of the dreamhost users was using our machine to ping flood them… I wish people wouldn’t do stupid stuff like that. Jerko-s.

Saturday:

We went to a pretty cool jungle party last night. It had a good crowd. Jungle parties around here are getting bigger. That’s cool, but it also means there’s more of that crowd that just comes for the drugs and doesn’t care what music is playing… I guess some of them eventually start getting into the music, too, but it is weird for the vibe to see a bunch of people rolling on each other…

Whatever, though.

I also ran into a girl that I’ve sort of known for awhile. She seems cool and into cool things. I got her number. Yay me!

Friday:

I’ve been sleeping a lot again. I’m putting that in here because it’s not really a good thing overall. I get enough sleep always… that’s not really the issue. It’s when I start deciding to sleep more than normal that there starts to be a problem…

I think I just realized that it was probably because I had been drinking a lot of Coke last week… and then I stopped this week… I was sleeping more because of the comedown from the caffeine. That sounds silly, I know, but I assure you it’s not. That stuff is crazy. Coke’ll kill you. It sure does hit the spot sometimes, though…

Friday:

I have managed to get a working web-based update interface for this website-dealie! Maybe this will make it easier for me to keep you up to date with the latest and greatest news and happenings from this miserable thing I like to call a life.

And if you are unhappy with it (and there might even be more of it than before!), then I guess you can just screw off. But, if you do like it, then I guess you can just screw on… or … I dunno, screw up? No… well, screw something nearby. That always makes me feel better…

Monday:

We had a great BBQ at our house yesterday! A really good group of people came
over to drink some beer, cook up some food, and have a grand ol’ time. It
was a lot of fun. BBQ’s are nice because you get all the leftovers, too. People
bring over stuff and then don’t eat it and they leave it with you! Wha-hoo!

I was still tired from Saturday night’s party, but it was a good end to the weekend.
I rolled out of bed just in time to greet the first guests, sans shower. It’s good
to be young and free!

Monday:

I missed some more days…
I think I am going to change the format of this to not be daily anymore. I would rather
spend more time on some slightly longer updates that occur 3 times a week or so…
I might have 3 weekly updated sections…

Anyway. I had a crazy weekend. Planet 9 had
a party. It was absolutely insane… right up until it got busted at 3:15 am (it was
supposed to go until 5am). And then everything was sort of ok still until I couldn’t
find my record bag. Some fucker took them. Some people are such disrespectful fuckheads.
Anyway, it’ll probably take me several months to build up a set of records I’m happy
with again. It’s almost enough to make a person give up, but it’s too late for that.
I’m in it for the long haul.
