Has the Whole World Gone mAd?

I was leaving work yesterday at the mall, and there was a HUGE crowd waiting for the release of the new and final Harry Potter book. As I walked through the crowd looking for the exit, it struck me. I never really thought about it before. You know why I like the Harry Potter crowd? Not because they dress up like the characters, not because they range from all ages, and not because they're super geeks. I'll tell you why... How often do you see people waiting for hours outside of a store for a BOOK? Not for a new movie coming out, that will probably end up being crap. Not for a new iPhone. For a book. To read. I really think that's fascinating.

Chocomolee

About a month ago I was at Amanda Dolan's birfday party held at Charlie's place, and I noticed that there was Guacamole in a HUGE bowl... more like a salad bowl, on a small table in the living room. In it were the Avocado seeds... and as you know, those fuckers are huge and dark. NEXT to this gi-normous bowl was a plate with chocolate brownies. What happened was that as I scanned the room, and while looking for people I knew, I also noticed these edible items on the table... but as I scanned fast the avocado seeds for a moment looked like brownies. So I thought, *How odd... chocolate brownies IN the guacamole*
So I told this to a friend of mine, and we started thinking of names combining the two. I thought of Guacholee, but my friend 1-upped me by suggesting Chocomolee.

Facebook Is Now Ruined Too

I just got a spam friend request from some stripper... The reason I left MySpace has now ruined Facebook.

Where I Am

I really find it funny (fucked up) how life works. I mean, you spend all this time/energy looking for something that you really want, and when you find it, you only get a teaser.... a taste... a sample of what it's like, and then it slips right through your fingers... like sand, or something. You can see it, you can feel it, hell you can even taste it, but you can't keep it.. no no... you're only allowed to KNOW how good things could be, you're not allowed to have things actually BE that good.

These things happen less than infrequent because most of the time you just go around waiting for something this good to come along. When it finally comes, it lasts long enough to know what it's like but short enough to leave you begging for more.

The only good that comes out of these situations is that they really make you think about where you are. It's a strange feeling. You start to dissect your life into little pieces and you start separating the things that make you happy from the things that make you miserable. Does this make any sense to you? It seems to make perfect sense to me.

I'm just tired of letting life slip through my fingers. I need to do something drastic. Something life-changing....

I'll get back to you with ideas...

A JOB!

Good thing:
I am now an official Apple employee! That's right! I start in a couple of weeks, I am sooo excited! I will now become 100% Applefied with all the gadgets I'll be buying... but I mind not one bit.

Bad things:
Can't find my Social Security card
Alice left yesterday... =(

More Randomness

So now I'm having to RE-rate ALL of my songs on iTunes.... I'm talkin' years of work all down the drain cause I decided to re-install OS X. ANYWAY.....

I'm THIS close to getting the job at Apple... I'm just having to fill out all these background check forms, etc. Man I really hope I get that. Discounts... maybe even a free iPod, the nectar of the Gods.

Anyway, been messing with Photoshop a lot more lately, check out my latest: Robot Forest
Besides that, just lookin' forward to Tuesday... if you know me, then you know why!

Recent Things

So here is a list of the recent things I've come to really like in the past week or so:

[1] DataRock
[2] The new Interpol album
[3] Aussies
[4] Home-made breakfast burritos (incl. Monterey Jack, 2 scrambled eggs, a little mexican salsa)
[5] Drinking during the day

My Birth Day

So OK. The day started out slow, and actually quite nice. I got some "happy birthday" wishes from a lot of friends and family and it was great... but THEN I got into this long discussion/argument with my mom and it kinda killed my mood a bit... I mean, it didn't really ruin anything, and it was a discussion that we've had several times. But having it come up again on this day, and taking it to new levels was less than perfect...

Today I'm gonna drink, play risk with my roommates, and then go see Data Rock later on. And I think they might be planning something for me because I just caught them being all secretive.

I just don't feel like it's my birthday... the day is extremely average, and that kinda sucks. It's all good though because we're supposed to be throwing a housewarming party soon, so we'll make that 50% housewarming and 50% bday celebration.

Here's to 24.

Old friends, Television, and moving.

So I got back in touch with a couple of friends from Argentina that I haven't spoken to in.... well... 10 YEARS!!! These guys were my best friends when I was little, but once I moved to LA I lost contact with most (if not all) of them. I'm going back to Argentina this winter so it's cool, and it's actually funny how fast news travels, cause a lot of these friends that I haven't even talked to in forever already know that I'm coming back cause they heard the news through the grape vine...

------

Today I started my internship at KTVU, the FOX affiliate... I'm not so stoked about the fact that it's Fox, but I get to do some cool stuff. Today I made some copies of TV shows that are premiering this fall, and I made a copy for myself :)
I'll also get to shadow the editors for the news, and work with Avid some times, so I'm really excited about getting my hands dirty with some professional equipment.

------

The moving is pretty much done. All our stuff is here at the new place, but now we have to actually arrange everything. The thing that sucks is that there's construction going on for some leaks in the wall, so for the next week we have to keep our things 6 feet from the wall so that the workers can do their thing..... that SUCKS cause it means we can't set up for a while, and we just want to be done with it.

- that is all....

The Finishing Touches

So moving is pretty much done! Now all we have to finish is organizing all the stuff in the loft. The place is comparable in size, but it's laid out so differently that it's gonna be tricky.
My room is also much smaller, but I feel like now the space is manageable.

Today the cable guy is coming to hook up our internet, and our cable... for an extra $20 a month on top of our internet, Abe got us a phone line and cable (including free HBO). I end up paying the same though, cause Abe needs a phone line for his business, so I end up scoring.

PS - can the new iMacs come out already so I can sell mine off and get one?

Road Kill

I was driving back from the Bjork concert on Saturday with some friends, and the 101 freeway was all backed up. Finally we saw that it was an accident ahead. When we drove by it, we saw a fire truck parked trying to cover up body parts all over the road, and there were a couple of police officers with huge zip-lock back-like bags filled with chunks and blood.

There were three body bags on the road... it was terrible.

One of the more disgusting thins I've seen.
There was also a car a bit smashed up, but I just couldn't figure out how three people got that messed up if the car was not that bad at all... maybe they weren't wearing their seatbelts? They were probably driving back from the concert...

renting, moving, crap, etc etb dkuwu2E@!!!!!!!

Today was a full day of looking at new places. It seems like every time we find the perfect place to move into, everything gets ruined because we're students, and they don't trust that we can make rent every month....

Current Status

1: My room looks like the Vietnam war.
2: ALL my clothes are dirty and I have only enough for one round of laundry.
3: Looking for a new place to live.
4: Busy week at school, but only a couple of weeks left!
5: Thinking about a couple of short, local trips to see friends around the US.
6: bkj#LKJ$%89(8!@@@!!!!

We Outs!

OK, so, I know it's been a while, but here it is. So the biggest news around these parts nowadays is the fact that we're having to move out...
The building sold, and they've kicked everyone out already. The girls upstairs and the couple in the back moved out almost a month ago.

It seems like we're gonna have to be out by June 1st. The COOL thing is, that it also seems like we might be getting a little bit of money from the agency that owns the place now.

Who knows what's gonna happen now, but the cool thing is that we're gonna get a much nicer place in a quieter area.

IN OTHER NEWS: School is done in like 3 weeks, and I'm hoping to start an internship for the summer. I can't WAIT for this summer to be honest. New place, inernship, some free time. It's gonna be nice.

ALSO: Going to Argentina for sure, and it seems like we've extended our stay to 3 weeks. Still, I won't be going to Antarctica this time around, cause even though I'll be able to afford it, it's too much money. Maybe some other time when I'm making a few million a year.

Lonelygirl15

I kept hearing about this 'lonelygirl15' on YouTube, so I decided to check it out. OMG what a waste of my fucking time!! It is officially a close 1st for the dumbest shit ever. It's a girl talking in an almost monotonous tone about how bored she is. YAWN

Why do these things become so popular?? I don't get it! Someone please explain it to me!

Anyway, check her out for yourself and see how dumb it is...
I won't even waste the energy in putting a link to it here, so just search for that screen name on YouTube.

The Sickness

So this last weekend was truly great. It was four straight days of drinking from thursday to sunday in honor of St. Patrick. It was a weekend filled with festivities, and joy..... and joyness. But there was one part of me that didn't have as much fun as I did... my immune system. Today I woke up, and it felt like I was just run over by the gigantic rolling ball from Indiana Jones 1, in that cave... remember?

I've stuffed myself today with all sorts of vitamins, and drank some tea and lots of water. I'm contemplating not going to school tomorrow though. Maybe I'll do my homework and email it to my friends to turn it in for me...
I just wanna stay in and watch movies.

I Am Happy

I just bought this camera.

Cameras

So I was at Sarah's party last night, and Sara (a different one, you'll notice there's not H) had pretty much the most amazing camera in the world. I've been talking to my mom about getting a camcorder soon to work on my video projects... but now I want a Digital SLR as well.
It honestly was unbelievable. You had to see this thing. I'll try to get my hands on the pictures I took with it, and share with the rest of you.

LOST, LOST, And More LOST

So after last week's episode, I was so mad at the show, and decided that I just don't care anymore about the show, that I just went online and started reading some spoilers to see if there is any hope for the future... and it turns out... yes, there is!

Thank god, honestly, cause I'm starting to lose all hope!
