I want a cupcake.

Story here.

Best comment ever:

Please, be nice to this guy. A human just lost their life on cup cakes. We should all be worried about what he intends to tell God as reason for his death.

Nothing. It would be very rude to speak to God with your mouth full.

Life Part 2

So I'm sitting here drinking a beer...and remembered I have a blog.

Oops.

Update on my life I suppose? Well it's still going good mostly. I've been working at the law firm for a few weeks, doing database work and designing stuff. I've since quit Autozone, and was instantly happy because of that. I've reconnected with someone who was under my nose for the past few years, and that's going very well. School is meh, lots of reading and overthinking about things I couldn't care less thinking about, but it's still going at least. I'm learning to balance things out better, though I still need a lot of work.

Having weekends off is amazing, seriously.

I went back home this past weekend, went to the always fun Pike with some of the club crew. I miss those guys, really. I can't wait till the "season" starts again and more and more people are out. This cold weather means we don't hang out till 1am anymore. Of course that just means theres less chance of me falling asleep when I drive home...

On Sunday I visited my Gramps, then went to my CT home, and surprised everyone since no one knew I was going to visit. I ended up being not so productive as usual, but did "start" taking apart my spare motor. I'm planning to rebuild it and get it ready for teh boosht. I do have a somewhat serious problem with my car though, known to Mazda as TSB #97-17-13.

So it's seriously annoying. I don't notice any performance problems, instead it's just really hard to go through drive-thrus since the sound is so loud. My recipe for fixing involves either grabbing parts from the old motor, or buying the J-Spec KLZE cams and swapping them in. The former must be done in CT, the latter can be done anywhere. Whatever I decide I'll be doing the intake manifold and valve cover gaskets, which have to be done anyway, yay for leaking oil.

Oh, btw, I'm on Vista right now. Linux is amazingly awesome and fast, but WINE still doesn't support CS3, yet:

Google + Linux + WINE = godliness

Oh and here's some bullshit, and a very good story.

Pictures from my weekend can be found here.

Over and out.

Edit: I forgot to mention that unfortunately I had to leave my job at my school in the IT department. As a parting gift though, awesomeRob and amazingBrian bought me WoW. I may start playing again for the hell of it, not like I have a life when I'm in Salem anyway.

Going, going, bye!

It's amazing how much your life can change within a few days...

I start a new job tomorrow doing designing and marketing for a patent lawyer. It's good money and will be an excellent experience for me, with the added bonus of being just enough money to afford quitting Autozone. I've worked at Autozone for two years now, was promoted to a part-time manager position, but now it's time to move on towards getting a "real" job. This all sorta happened in a flash, one day I sent out a resume and two days later I had an interview. This job also means I can have a reason to wear "nice" clothes instead of grey and black.

Another interesting thing I've noticed, is when I boot my computer into Windows, I'm much less apt to procrastinate and waste time online. I'm on Windows right now, but only to edit something in Photoshop and email it to a client. As soon as that's done it's back to Linux for me to continue my obsession with MySpace.

I am also going to be a busy bee this semester, but so far so good.
