I haven’t seen this time…

What a busy busy weekend.

Lets see. So Friday morning I had a meeting with the CEO at 6am. He basically dumped a huge project in my lap. Something another guy had been working on. The CEO wasn’t happy with his layout/colors. So he handed it over to me. We all know that I am NOT a good color picker… Look at the colors on here! So he sent me what the other guy had done. I thought it was pretty damn good. Just a few color things here and there that were pretty bad. But workable over all.

So I spent about 9 hours Friday picking colors, designing layouts, playing with graphics and fonts and all that stuff. Came up with something I’m pretty happy about. I sent an e-mail off to the CEO about 7pm that night asking for intial feedback.

Friday night I went out with Andrew and Chiba. Andrew and I got there about 2 hours before Chiba did, cause he was working. Had a really good time just hanging out at the Abbey and chatting and checking out guys. I saw three people that I really didn’t want to see. And LOTs of hot boys that I would have loved to have talked too.

Chiba got there and we stayed till 2am. After that we went to this pizza place where I ran into another person who was obviously trying to pretend like he didn’t know me. So I made us leave. We ended up at iHop! Yum yum. We were there till about 3:30am and then came home. What a long night! I haven’t seen 4am in a really long time!

Chiba was cute. He’s being very “boyfriendy” already, which I’m not sure if I like or not yet. lol. He’s nice, he’s cute… he’s still in college. (Just starting, he is 23, just moved to the US a year ago…). I see a lot of Jon-Jon in him, not the bad things of Jon-Jon, but the way that he acts towards me. I shall continue to hang out with him and see what happens… But I will also continue going out with other people. I have two tentative dates lined up with some 30-year-olds this week (and I mean, 30), and a second date with Bryan (if we can both fit it in).

So Saturday Andrew and I got up, and the museum that he came here to go to was closed. So we were going to go rent this movie. Movie store didn’t have it. We ended up getting An Inconvenient Truth. It was good, but I wasn’t expecting to just sit there and listen to Al Gore talk for 1.5 hours.

Andrew left, the CEO got back to me with “Looks Great” and then a few very minor wording changes. No graphics, color or layout changes. So that’s excellent news. I really wish I could show it off. But this is a “DL” project. haha. I _love_ the name of it though!

Since I was in a clear design phase, I started working on a new layout for this site. I am LOVING it so far. Just gotta figure out some of the logistics of it. It’s very stolen, but it’s amazing. Let me tell you. Hopefully I can stay in this grove and get it done ASAP.

I just heard from the neighboor that the sex guy upstairs is moving out!

Chiba called and wanted me to come hang out with him. I turned him down and told him maybe Sunday as I was supposed to have a meeting with my EE again. But I never heard back from him in time. So I headed over to Pasadena about 1ish. Got there and Chiba was out playing tennis with some friends, so I tried to find the park and got very lost in the process. Eventually found it and watched them do that.

After that we went out to this Brazilian restaurant. Very yummy food. From there we went back to his place and watched memoirs of a geisha. Very good movie, although I was a bit confused about it all. Probably because we kept making out. hah.

I got home about 10ish and went right to bed.

Today is work work work. And lunch with Jess.

World AIDS Day…

Hey Everyone, it’s World AIDS Day, a great time to go and donate to the cause and Support ME! For LifeCycle! Thanks to those who have already donated in support!

In other news, today is a day of links and such….

My Aunt, the M&M Lady!. I came across this the other day.

Hung out with this really cute Brazilian boy, Michael, he was nice. We’ll see if we hang out again. Not really my type, at least I don’t think. But he was nice and cool to hang out with. He just started learning English a year ago, so it was hard to understand him at times, but he knows three other languages, which is cool. Based on Austin’s book though, I need to stop disgrading people after only one date/hangout. lol

Keep on Walking!. I hate showing my reciept to Costco, etc. So do what this guy does, just keep on walking!

Ok, this is SWEET:

I want one in my house!

And if you’ve e-mailed or called recently. I’m SORRY if I have not yet got back to you. I’m still buried in e-mails and other things from the trip, and I just got a huge project put on me that’s due in two weeks. I was told to have “complete artistic control”… I’m NOT artisitic! Someone help me!

Going to The Abbey tonight. Come and join me!

Adios!

World Map…

Cool, eh? My goal… To FILL EVERYTHING! hahahah.

Anyways. I REALLY need to spead out my yearly costs some.. This time of year is just killer for me in costs.. First the trip, then insurange, then investments, and gifts and registartaion renewl.. Ugh. It’s killer! I also need new tires, new brakes, an oil change, and new windshield wiper blades.

And WHY must they fucking make it so god damn hard to make changes to insurance! Seriously they need to fucking simplify this! I call in because I got my bill and want to make changes to my policy. He says, “well your policy now is $1,200″… WAIT! I _JUST_ got a bill saying that I owe $1,042… How in the HELL is he getting $1,200 from? … Well apparently he cant’ make changes to the UPCOMING policy that I want to pay on NOW. He can only change the CURRENT policy. Why on EARTH would I want to change the fucking CURRENT policy? It’s up in 1 week. I’m not going to freaking change it now!

So the story is that I have to pay the full $1,042 now, make the change and then they will SEND me a check for the $200 difference. What fucking sense does that make. God damn insurance companies. I hate them all.

Second, is DMV. I have to get a smog check. Ugh! How annoying. I could have sworn I just did that last year! I really hope that it’s not going to cost me more then the $50 testing fee. BTW, since California requires you to get a smog check, it should be god damn free.

I hate cars, I hate owning cars. They are nothing but money traps! Why can’t LA have a good public transit system. Speaking of, I got a “Free Metro Pass for a Month” card in the mail the other day. It said “Welcome to the neighborhood”.. Good job being nearly 6 months late! Anyways, I went to the website to try and plan out my daily commute via MTA.. The damn route planner didn’t work.

Before I left for Berlin, I paid all my November bills… I got an e-mail from my landlord: “I received your rent check today, but it is due the 1st of each month, I don’t want to recieve it before that date”… Excuse me, what kind of IDIOT would freaking complain about getting $1,300 two weeks early! If/When I am a landlord, I would LOVE to have tenants like ME!

Speaking of, I really want to get my ass in gear about doing that. I need to start making calls for it!

Later.

Berlin Movie… And Christmas!

Well, just as with Paris, I have created a 5 minute movie of my trip to Germany.. I don’t really like the music that goes with it, so if you know any more “typical” German Music let me know… I was thinking some Pink Floyd.

Berlin got me all hot and bothered for Christmas too, so I put up the christmas tree like 2 weeks early, opps! It’s really cute.

The cats have been VERY lovey.

I’m not very happy about the way my apartment was left by the Cat Sitter… Beer bottles all over the counter. Glasses all over the apartment. 3 cig pack wrappers on the floor, the bed was unmade, and he didn’t get the mail as I asked. I guess I will have to find someone else to watch them for Christmas… Any takers?

Saturday night I went out with this guy Jim. What a character… That’s all I have to say. We watched mulholland drive. I have NO idea what this movie is about!

Today Austin came over and we hung out. It was good to see him again. We watched this movie called Orange County. Very funny. You should all go watch it.

I’ve also spent a lot of the weekend sleeping. I’ve been so tired! The guy upstairs has started playing loud gay disco and having sex again. Austin thinks he’s on drugs. He better NOT be loud again tonight. I’ll be annoyed as hell!

Not looking forward to going to work tomorrow. 🙁

Adios!

BTW.. I love the Ampelmann
