Had buffet lunch and picking up stuff from Lowes. This is cramping my style.
These are not mine a contact on Flickr found them. I covet.
"prints by big eye art masters Lee, Eden, and Maio--99 cents each at my local Goodwill! "
Had a chance to go to the first Singapore toy and comic convention last week with Carl where we burned our pockets bu buying 6 tofu toys (one wobbler signed by a devilrobot), Tokidoki stickers, a Tokidoki hat, and a Nintendo Wii (and guitar hero - which I think is already overused hehehe). The event was so packed that 10 AM in the morning at least 5,000 people (estimate) were already queueing to get inside. Also had a chance to grab a few drinks with Apol Sta. Maria and his girlfriend at the Butter factory last weekend where we watched The Devilrobots, Pete Folwer, and Simone Legno draw murals on white boards placed at the middle of the bar.
Oh well. Just another week.
Can't wait to watch the death cab concert soon.
As you can tell, I had a lot of time with Love and Reverie. I haven't taken band pictures in a long time so this is a first in 5 years. Yay! Anyway, I have been shooting on manual so I'm so happy they even look decent! *whew* Yeah I had fun tonight. Tonight I was handed lemons and I made lemonade! haha
My friend Tom's having a 4th party (on the 5th), at his place near Chicago and Milwaukee; and that's a pain to get to from my place via public transit, so I'm biking on a warm Saturday night instead! Yeehah! I love my occasional excuses to bike on inner-city roads on a Saturday night, and to go pub-pedaling along the way (instead of pub-crawling -- get it?); it makes me feel all cool and urban and creative-class and shit. Oh, and since I have this superduper Nokia N95 on loan right now, I'm even shooting a video of the entire ride too, in the style of the other YouTube video I recently posted. (Oops, sorry, just realized I haven't posted it here yet; I'll do that when I get home tonight.)
Anyway, here I am at the great little tiny residential pub Maeve, on Wrightwood one block east of Southport; it's the halfway point, which I'm using as an excuse to stop and have a cocktail. This officially ends, then, the "pleasant tree-lined lane" part of tonight's trip; the last three miles is on an industial road winding through factories and the like. More later, suckas!
The afternoon shift is dull...it always has been. But these days drag more than most. It is early July. The fourth and fifth have just passed, and these days crawl slowly in my line of work. Most people are out in the sun, drunk, blowing the shit out of their homeland; I am stuck here waiting for my phone to ring. Although I learned very early on that it is best to not complain about the calls you don't get, this has become mind numbing.
So I sit still with my iPod on shuffle, and listen to songs linked together by some kind of mathematical equation. Reading is impossible among the buzz of the office, so I have locked myself away into these headphones.
I work in technical support; I have been here for five years. It is not where one imagines oneself at my age--at a desk waiting for calls from people that one will quite possibly never speak with again.
I am here to help.
I used to keep Buddhist icons at my desk in order to remind myself to focus on the moment, and to remain patient with every dingbat in possession of a computer and the technical savvy to dial a telephone. Those days were lessons in patience. These days I have no passion for the job.
I could care less...if it was possible.
or was it thursday
...anyway took this pic of me today
is soooo cute! (this is from Clerks 2) Tom left the TV on a movie channel and luckily he doesn't leave it on crap.
Sigh. I don't know how many of you all still use Vox, but I miss you guys. Anyway, I had a fun 4th watching fireworks.
I love fireworks. It rained right after the fireworks ended and I was stranded at a local 7-11 standing around with a bunch of ignorant teenagers talking shit and trying to steal stuff. Lame. Srsly. I hated high school kids when I was in high school, and things haven't changed. /end rant.
added another cactus to the cactus garden put it out in the sunlight
it seems that a grackle came to see it and found itself in the cactus light zone
