Does that just suck or what? I’m not entirely sure how my sister copes with it, though I guess she’s got no real choice over the matter, but having to celebrate a birthday on the anniversary of a tragedy makes you wonder. How will all those children born on September 11, 2001 handle it, or …

Jackie Brown
Todd had an interview today over at the Mervyn’s in Cupertino. One of our old bosses from Software Etc is a manager there; not the manager, mind you. He turned in his application, did his interview, and found out that they were offering way below than what he was looking for. But, if he wants …

Dia de mi Familia
I promised my mother yesterday that I would have lunch with her and my grandmother today. I got up at ten in the morning. Not because I had a lunch date with them, but because I just cannot sleep past ten no matter how tired I am or how much I just try to close …

Day Three: How to get Lost in Beaverton without really trying…
After our trek all over Portland, Beaverton, Aloha, and who the hell knows where else, Todd and I determined that it was time to relax in the hotel. The previous day’s activities had really worn us out, what with all the driving and Dance Dance Revolution, along with visiting OMSI and watching Episode II on …

Day One: I Left my Heart on Super Smash Brothers Melee
I work twelve hour shifts, three days a week; those three days being Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I start at nine in the morning and get relieved at nine at night. So, Sunday night before we left on Monday morning, I got home and did whatever laundry I could prior to leaving. I did not …

You Should Not Go Too Long without a Good Rant
It goes without saying to a certain extent that being the administrator of any kind of game is pretty much a thankless job. Utterly and completely thankless might be a more appropriate way to put it. To me, being an administrator something that has its ups and downs, but more downs than ups, due to …

Fear leads to Anger, Anger leads to Hate, Hate leads to… me getting sued by Lucasfilm, Ltd?
Do you ever notice that most of my moods tend to begin with an A, B, or C? This is probably because I’m so lazy, I won’t go any further unless it’s absolutely necessary. I tend to be amused, annoyed, awake, or accomplished. Today, though, I decided to go for a mood that was at …

Now I know why Stockbrokers get Ulcers…
On August 14th, I finally vested my first block of incentive shares of PayPal stock that I got when I agreed to work here. Back in the days of being married, I remember how happy Stephanie was to have vested, and I’m sort of recalling that feeling and understanding the true nature of that whole …

The Revenge of the Mask of the Son of the Ingrown Toenail
Monday morning, I went over to my uncle’s dad’s house (who is not my grandfather, since this is an uncle by marriage) to fix his ancient P-233 system. Though, it wasn’t really fixing as much as it was just performing disk maintenance that should’ve been performed more regularly than every 512 days. It was okay, …

I Need a Hit of Pepsi or else People will Die…
Quick first post of the day, with a message to my buddy : Happy Birthday! It’s my last day of working the day shift this weekend, which actually seems like the better deal when I think about it. Granted, I was a little shocked by the news of having to work early Friday morning, but …
