I feel like I don't even have time to think anymore. I spend over an hour commuting to work and then another hour commuting back home. But I am lucky I have a job in this economy. I am really happy today! I found an apartment in Irvine to move into and today I found out my credit was good enough and I'll be moving in next Friday! Yay! I hate packing, but this time I'm really excited about moving because the new apartment is really nice and it's brand new. Best of all, the apartment complex is next to a shopping centre that has a Trader Joe's, and that's heaven for me! The apatment is a 615 sq. ft. studio with hardwood-type flooring ("Pergo", in other words, but definitely an improvement over carpets), granite countertops. It's just two rooms. The bedroom isn't even a room but it's closed off from the living area by sliding doors, so since I will be moving in with my son it'll be like having my own room. Best of all each apartment has an actual one-car garage! That means I won't be living amongst an ocean of boxes anymore! I decided to keep my beautiful wood/black marble Thomasville "Bogart" bar.
It's such a beautiful piece of furniture that I've had people offering to buy it on the spot... so I'm not selling it just yet.I also lucked out with W.A.S.T.E. and got four pit tickets to the Santa Barbara Bowl, and two P1 tickets to the Monday Hollywood Bowl concert. I managed to get one Q1 ticket for the Sunday Hollywood Bowl concert but unless I can find another seat nearby I will probably sell it. I don't want to go by myself. Today I reserved a room at a hostel in Santa Barbara for two nights. I didn't really want to carry all my belongings to the concert or do without taking a shower, but we will probably spend the night queuing. I plan on doing the same thing at the Hollywood Bowl on Monday. I don't think I can afford a hotel for that night. I don't even know how we'll manage to get back to Irvine that night.Other than that my life has just been work-work-work lately, which is why I am now able to move into something newer and better. The place where I live right now has been described as a ghetto and I'm not one to disagree.

I’m about to wash up and head to the record store. Why? Today is Record Store Day. If you are reading this somewhere, go out to the local store and get something. Let me know what you got.Yesterday was an interesting day. Through my job I can get into the Phila Museum of Art for free. (I know…Sundays are free) Yesterday one of my co-workers mentioned out loud that she was going. There’s one in every office. She asked the woman who sits across from me if she and her husband do “corny stuff like that.” (!?!?) I had to laugh.I hate the awkward handshake. That or when you aren’t sure if you should shake or not- you reach out and if the recipient doesn’t offer their hand you either rub the back of your head, feeling like a idiot.I was riding my bike home from from work and I saw the strangest thing. (To me at least.) Two middle aged white men driving around in a white LeBaron convertible, blasting Dmx “Party Up (Up in here)” with the top down. Scary.Alright, I’m heading out. I’ll let you know what I get at the record store….Talk to you soon.If you're driving- Roll down your windows!

hi w.a.s.t.e.,re: the ordering of member pages.i very much like the waste central site -- it is wonderful! congratulations for your hard work being so successful.i'm an accountant. i like things to be orderly.so here's my two pence: i think the members’ pages would be preferable to my numerical sensibilities if they were ordered so that You, Thom and the gang, miss rutabaga, were all on page one (1). that way, a member would always be on the same page from the time they sign up.Additionally it would add a home-room kinship between all the people on page 47 (for example) -- and present new opportunities for folks to have something in common, and perhaps find the true loves of their lives.it would make searching for members easier because a member would know what pages they have viewed, and which members they have seen on which page. the way it is now, all members will change which member page they are on as more people sign up. such chaos confuses me and gives me a sense of minor discomfiture.with good cheer,~SJPS(still considering my friend request?)

Here at last! I guess I'll be hanging out at Manifest for a while tomorrow - which is bad! I'm poor, I can't afford to go spending a bunch of money, but they're going to have such good sales! I think they're going to be getting in some R.E.M. 7" vinyls too. I might watch a show or two there, maybe finally check out that band Villanova. Haven't heard them at all, but I keep hearing that funk-rock fans usually like them so I guess I'll see. Its free, so may as well.God I love Manifest lol. I really think I NEED to get a job there next summer lol. Course I'd never bring home a paycheck...

. . . continuo sem ter assunto para escrever nesse BloG, mas ainda assim me atrevo a escrever. Eu poderia falar sobre muitos assuntos, mas o q mais me chamou a atenção foi:Alvaro Alves de Faria não quer mais ser chamado de poeta, o que significa q perdemos o único q prestava.Isso me deixa chateado.continuo na minha tentativa de entender melhor esse mundo, mas as vezes não consigo.se serve de consolo, assistam ao filme The Fountain ( A Fonte da Vida )este filme tem me ajudado bastante."estou falando com as paredes virtuais"

so, I'm here. and I'm happy.I hated Radiohead a year ago. such a fool.I couldn't understand how can he sing the song "Creep" like that? this marvellous song with such a heartfelt lyrics?! such a fool.now I feel I can fly when I listen to their music. don't know anything better and don't want to know=)how does it happen? I don't know either. there came a moment I just felt the need to listen to them, even without any knowledge about what are they.there are no such words in any language to describe how I feel about it. so, let me continue my life in this new world which is sometimes much better than another one I'm living everyday.happy-happy-happy! errr, not at all, upset about this:I wish I had been 18 in 1994, not 5=)

No more of the horrible craptop spat out of the 90's into my desk. After a lot of begging my brother, he finally caved and brought me a new beautiful machine from this year. This is a big thing for me as I've never had a computer that wasn't built out of scrap parts in my brothers garage. Sweet new lap top... yeah...thats it...

Sometimes it is OK to wear the same pair of underwear for two to three days without changing. No. Wait. That is incorrect. But drycleaning is just getting out of hand these days. Some elderly women stole my lucky socks and now I'm pissed.
