Something Strange!

So I was talking to my grandpa today and we’re ending the convo and three words come out of his mouth that I can’t ever remember him saying before in my life…”We Love you”. WTF? I can’t EVER remember him saying that before…. Something strange is going on there!

I found out for sure that they are sending another person here to London. And yet again it’s not me! How annoying. This guy is going till “at least” June.

I made some pretty amazing tacos last night.

This weekend is a 100 mile bike ride. I’ve been getting lots of peer-presure to sign up for it. But I’m just not sure I have the energy right now to do it. I’ve just been sooo dead. In a month is a double century from Santa Monica up to Santa Barbara. I want to sign up for that one, however. I really don’t have the money right now.

Things are moving along slowly for the whole Apartment purchase. I have potentially 7 people interested now. Only need 8 more. Anyone with $60k+ is more then welcome to the information. Pictures of the place are here.

The guy who I share cube space with has worn the same outfit for the last two days…. And he keeps saying. “I’m sooo out of it”. Strange asian boy!

My life has been boring lately. Just hanging out with Ben a lot and trying to rest and what not. I’ve been sooo sleepy.

Adios!

Cold weekend

It’s been a really cold and blah weekend. Cloudy, rainy looking. Not very nice. But it was still a great and busy weekend.

Lets see, Friday I stayed home. It was well needed rest, altough after this busy weekend I’m still tried! Tonight I’m going to go home and nap after my dentist appointment.

So, Saturday I got up and went and picked up Ben and headed to the California Science Center for the Star Wars exhibit. It was really cool. First we saw the iMax film about hurricanes which was sad and almost made me cry! From there over to the exhibit which was tons of fun. I love star wars. After we were done with that we looked around the rest of the top floor of the science center and saw some stuff, but not as much as I wanted to as Mark and his boy-toy wanted to go eat. It would have been nice to see the rest of the area but whatever.

We headed off to Santa Monica and ate at the Cafe Crepe place. After that we went and bought Mark a cute new outfit at American Eagle! Thankfully the homo that always bothers me there wasn’t working!

Ben and I left after that and went back to my place and hung out for the night. Sunday we got up and went to WeHo and went biking. It was COLD but still a really nice ride. Up through Beverly Hills and what not. Great times. Nick and Jaun were there again so it was cool to chat with them again. There was this stupid bitch on the ride that was complaining about everything though!

Sunday afternoon we went back to my place and ate chinese. After that it was back to my place for a nap! Ben left about 6 because I was waiting for a call from Jay.

Yes, Jay. Friday I emailed him. I need help, mortgage help. And he’s the most qualified person I know that I trust to get me the right answers. He replied back with so much information, so I replied back to him with more questions. He said we’d talk on Sunday after 6, but he never did call. Which honestly is probably a good thing, because last night I was just SOOO tired I probably wouldn’t have gotten very much out of him. I’ll ring him early this morning to see if we can chat about it today.

As always, pictures from the weekend are on the photodump.

All Employers should really read this:A Note To Employers: 8 Things Intelligent People, Geeks and Nerds Need To Work Happily.

JDub does it again. I wish I had the guts to just drop my life and get out there and do something like this. If only…

Do you own a Mac, use iPhoto? If you don’t use the photobook functions in iPhoto you should follow these instructions to save 300 megs. I’ve also found that it saves RAM when running iPhoto:

Here’s how to get rid of said folder:

Right click on iPhoto.app

Select Show Package Contents

Navigate to Applications/iPhoto.app/Contents/Resources/Themes

Delete it, burn it to disk, or offload it to external drive

Not much else really going on. I had a really annoying day today. I get in and have this meeting. I get assigned to do something. I had JUST got in, so I go back to my desk, read my e-mails and what not and then finish up another project, this all takes me about 1.5 hours. So then I go and start on this thing I was told to do. It takes me abot 20 minutes and then I run into something that i have a quick question about. So I IM the guy only to find out that he had already just gone ahead and done it. how very annoying! UGH!

I’m also getting REALLY sick of my friends/co-workers never inviting me anywhere. VERY annoying.

Random, creepy messages terrorize bisexual college students. REALLY interesting read! Who knew things like this happened!

Digg Me! I totally want one of these!

Look like a spartan. How the stars of “300” got that Greek statue look.

Outdoor weekend!

Wow this weekend has been busy!

Friday, Ben, Sirin and I met up with Jess in WeHo for his birthday! Had a great time at OBar and then went down the street tot his piano thing. It was a really fun night. On the way home Sirin and I got to talking and are going to try and figure out a way that we can buy our building. So all weekend I’ve been really excited about that and what not. Sadly I got online this morning and looked it up and the guy has increased the price by $600,000 for the building!! So now each unit is $325,000. 🙁 I’m not sure I can afford that much! But I’m still going to make a few calls and see what’s going on.

Saturday Ben and I got up, I dropped him off at home and went to a business meeting. After that we met up again and went hiking in Red Rock Canyon and then hung out in Santa Monica area for a while. Went back to his place and had dinner. We laid down for a 15 minute nap at like 8:30 and didn’t wake up again till 8:30 Sunday morning! Opps!

While I was out driving in LA on Saturday I found a gas station that was at $3.45 for REGULAR gas! Insane!

Sunday we got up and headed down to my place. Went for a bike ride and then hung out in RB area. Lots of crazy stuff going on at the Pier. It was an amzing weekend 80 degrees and what not. He left about 4ish and then I spent the rest of the day relaxing on the couch.

As always, photos from the weekend are up on the Photodump

Halliburton is planning on moving it’s head quarters to Dubai. I really think that if they do make this move, that EVERY government contract they have should be revoked. They have access to WAY too much sensitive information.

Remember the game You Don’t Know Jack?. Well you can now play them online! These games wasted away MANY hours of time at BSA staff camp every year! Soo fun

25-Code Snippets for web designers. Some very cool and useful things. I wish I had found this before we demoed a few of the past projects I’ve been working on

Time Sensitive CSS Switcher. This idea has been around for a LONG time. I remember in HS having a website that printed out “Good Morning”, “Good Afternoon” etc depending on the time. But this is a realy cool implimentation of that idea.

Need a menu? 71 cool CSS menus.

Web 2.0 Tutorial Roundup!. I’ve been trying to learn photoshop lately and this has been a great resource!

Later.

Suze Orman is GAY!

OMG! I always got vibes from her, but thought she wasnt!… But Suze is GAY! Noooo way! So cool!

In other news. It’s snowing like a mofo back home. Check out this amazing pic:

I wish I could be there now!

This weekend Ben came over on Sat afternoon and we hung out all day. Went to Chinese New Year and then Olvera Street. Had a really great time. He spent the night and then today we went out biking with the Team 100. Just did an easy 20 miles. It was nice and sunny but only 50ish when we started. By the time we got back it was cloudy and colder. Just as we were pulling out to go home it started raining. Good thing we didn’t go longer! 🙂

It was really great to hang out with him this weeknd. As always pictures on the photodump.
