Blast It Blogger!
September 07, 2003
Having an unexpected urge to blog, I click on my blogger shortcut only to see the all too annoying “The page cannot be displayed” white page. Not to be undone, here I am writing in notepad so that my flash of creativity will not be lost due to a technical problem.
So? What’s up? I just finished a six day week because of a shift swap for someone else. I got last Sunday off so I had to pay for it this week by working yesterday. One day weekends suck but the silver lining is that I only have a four day work week starting tomorrow. On Thursday, I’ll be holding hands with my girlfriend and boarding a plane to Hokkaido. To clear up any confusion, I work Sunday through Thursday. Right now she is sleeping and I am listening to Art Bell. I haven’t listened to the show since January (when Art retired). Unexpectedly, I decided to listen yesterday for no reason only to find Art Bell special-guesthosting the show for two days. That is synchronicity in its purest form. I missed Art Bell’s deep, comforting voice and his straight shooting, intellectual thinking. Anyway, I’m listening to the show as I am typing now. Yay.
Something that has been annoying as of late – a lot more people are using MSN Messenger now – my list is soon to overtake my ICQ list in terms of number of people. Unlike ICQ though, I can’t overwrite people’s names. I don’t give a shit what you call yourself, be it “Jerry” or “604_Sweetz_NSX_Gangsta_Pimp” – I’m just going to rename it to your full name. So, without this feature, I’m seeing a bunch of handles and messages that don’t mean anything to me and I’m wondering who the hell it is. I have to right click and try to recognize the email address. Now that’s annoying. I don’t mind if you write messages AFTER your name, like, “Matthew – I am feeling my aunt up right now”. At least I know it’s you.
I saw Animatrix yesterday and it was awesome. The CG chick in the first short was just hot. If she existed in real life… it’s like… damn yo. Damn fine piece of ass. Actually my favorites were the first two stories. The rest were all nice and all but the stories sort of sucked. The one placed in Japan was cool because the song they have at the crosswalk was exactly the same as the one they have in Osaka.
What else? A couple more people coming and going. I’m looking at ticket prices so I’ll probably be visiting Vancouver within six months. Yada yada yada.
