Interesting things that happened this weekend:
* At the funeral, we discovered that my step-mother had edited my mom and her 17 years of marriage out of the "biographical DVD presentation" of my dad's life.
* I was banned from speaking at the funeral. (But it was okay, because it hadn't occured to me that there would be speaking.)
* At Disneyland, a cast member...

For the mere price of $5000 I can knock off that step mom of yours...
My plane flight to Los Angeles leaves at 8:30AM tomorrow. It's for my dad's funeral. I'm quite freaked out. I miss my dad.
I don't like missing my dad.

I know the feeling.
I know the feeling.At one point there at Cedar's Restaurant I was looking around at everybody seated around our round table and I realized that everybody had showed up for my birthday. It was a good feeling, I felt blessed with friendship and good cheer.
I didn't even miss not getting snockered off cheap well drinks.

So there's no way I'm not going to go see mirrormask again, I keep wanting to tell Rice about it, but I know the explanations will suck. I'll let you know when if you guys want to go again as well. It will probably be thursday or friday.
I'm glad you had a good birthday celebration. and that I could be a part of it

Ugh. Blew my video card while trying to replace its broken fan. I was clipping off the plastic plugs that held the old fan in place and accidentally scratched the surface of the board with the cuticle clippers I was using.
I looked real close at the little scratch. I mean it was really little, like you wouldn't know it was there unless you were...

Shitty dude. Good call on Newegg. I'm typing with one hand so I have to keep this short. Sorry. 
tawnya:
Not only saving money on it, but you'll get it on your birthday. Good planning. See you tonight
This one has some possibilities for me, primarily because of the interest I would have in observing the gradual changes in the image. Again, insofar as I am not planning to personalize a large number of items at this point (i.e., clothing and other accessories), I would not purchase this item if it required a significant outlay for images that I might never use.

I love that. "I would like to sound important and educated more than I'd like to get my point across."
It's that time of year again: November is National Novel Writer's Month.
http://www.nanowrimo.org/
The challenge is to write a 50,000 word novel in the month of November. If you win, you've now written a novel, and get a certificate. If you're proud of your work, you might edit it and start sending queries to publishing houses, become the next J.K. Rowling, or president of...

You know what? I'll probably write 50,000 published words in November. Just not in any, you know, logical format.
rynray:
Can I read it? How many pages is 50,000 words?
lostepoch:
I can't believe you guys bought me this, that is so freakin awsome. A thousand thanks...

Hello there bluetrust.
That's a fine idea for a tattoo. I like his blown-away chest too... obstinance in the face of mortality.
Looks like stuff has been a little rocky lately, I hope things are balancing out for you.

Yesterday was obnoxious, drama-queen stuff. Yes, I had a client go all ape-shit on me about some cosmetic stuff. Yes, I took it personally that they said the survey was visually unappealing. Yes, I probably lost quite a bit of money. In the grand scheme of things though, it's not that important.

the best drama queens are the drag queen. Noone's got nuthin' on those ladies.
A client today told me that he reviewed the survey with his client and said that it lacked visual appeal. I said, sure, we could spice the template up a bit. We just have to be careful not to draw attention away from the question text itself.
Well, no, that wasn't what he was thinking at all. He and his client wanted me to make...

It's great when you have the freedom to exercise your judgment, rather than cave in.

So did you hear back from him?
World of Warcraft alas is no more. I melted it down and spit on it, then threw away the ashes.

Good job quittin' the WoW dude. You should play Age of Conan when it comes out next year.

Congrats.
Thanks go out to everyone who left well-wishes. Thanks to Kate again too. I'll leave proper comments in everyone's journals soon.
I feel like melting the world with my eyes. I feel like tearing down walls and toppling bridges. I feel like picking up cars and tearing them in half. I feel like eating babies and crushing swans. I feel like running a caffeine IV...
