After me begging, and val accepting, the site has been tweaked a little more. I hopefully plan to impliment the pictures and links section relatively soon. If anyone can suggest something to put on the main page, that would be great. Something that sums me up, or that I can put a counter on, or something. All suggestions, gross or klein, accepted. Another request, how many days should I have displayed on my blog? It was set to 5, then it rolled last night and there was nothing on my blog, so I kicked it up to 7. A weeks worth seems right. btw, check out my new popup webcam. Right now it only works from the blog section of my site since I have yet to change it for the rest… but it’s coming, slowly.

That said, it’s been rather uneventful since the last post. Work has been kinda boring… I just cleaned up my desk (needed it) and at home I’ve been burning a buttload of anime to cd. My machine is litterally full. Mind you, I only have 2 40gig drives, and an 18gig… but I let it get too bad before doing it. And the server is full too. My 12″ is even getting full, but that’s mostly because I’m keeping a backup of a friend’s stuff on there. So bah… I’m not having much fun at home short of burn burn burn burn burn burn.

I went to the coast over the weekend and got to have a good time with everyone. I missed out on going to the Mariners game, entirely due to poor communication between myself and my ride. So that sucked, but overall, the weekend was good. Came home afterward and cleaned the house up a bit… trying to erradicate an ant migration that has appeared in my kitchen since last week. After cleaning the hell out of the kitchen, it seems to have solved most of it. Now I just see an occational one wandering around wondering what happened to the little spills on the floor. Sucker.

Tara has some art headed to Otokon (sp) right now, they’re going to set it up and sell it for her. I believe it’s one of the biggest in the US (topped by AX I’d imagine) so hopefully we’ll see some nice returns on that. The con starts on Friday, so we should know something on sunday or so.

I’m headed back up to Portland this weekend for a dentist appointment. I know I promised LIX I would be at the LAN this weekend, but unfortunately time has not been on my side this summer. Whine all you want Rachel, I’m sorry I don’t see you guys as much as I used to anymore. But I’m working 40hours/week and I keep having to make these trips to Portland, or the Coast, or where ever. I’ll try my hardest to be around the weekend after this one, and effort and energy willing, I want to have some type of get together at my place.

Anywho… not much else to say. I feel good, I feel healthy… my headache went away after beating it and my liver to death with Excedrin (ahhh the power of mixing pain killers and stimulants).

Ta ta.

Well, wednesday night, thursday morning. Got back to eugene yesterday night and since then have had both a headache and just been really tired the whole time. Gods, I think it’s something in this damn town. I miss visiting with my friends while I was there. Got to see a friend I hadn’t seen in a long time, glad to see that she was doing well, however single she may be.

The apple classes weren’t bad, the first one was on netbooting, and the second one was supposed to be on ldap and directory access, but the lab didn’t work, so the money was refunded and the class cancelled. but we got some good information during that time.

other than that, I need to finish up my website so it’s the same and that the main www.staze.org doesn’t just bring up “test”.

Damn I’m tired… I think I’m going to go home now… I’m over at LIX with friends, and it seems that there really isn’t that much going on. I’m on my laptop, Kat is sitting next to me rating her music. Someone is over mudding, a few people are making a puzzel, gah. nerd party.

I’m stopping now. Night everyone… my head feels like it’s going to explode.

That’s what val said when she finally got the new css tweaked to work with my site. I really like it… I hope you do too. I must say she did an excellent job… easily makes up for her being very mean while playing Mario Party and losing to Eric and I. When she ended up winning in the end, she acts like nothing ever happened. Women, I tell ya. 😉

Onery!

On other fronts, I love my 12″, it’s wonderful. The ipod is awesome too. I’m kinda bored here in Portland, but it isn’t soo bad. I hope to get together with a friend of mine I haven’t seen in ages, as well as go to the microbrew fest tomorrow with some people from Eugene. I hope. That aside, I probably should go see my grandparents tomorrow.

Monday and Tuesday are Apple System Administration Training Seminars, which should be interesting. My boss is paying $300 for the 2 days I’m going, as well as paying me while I’m there. While this seems logical, it’s not something normally done for student workers at the university I think. I am very appreciative. Have I told everyone how much I love my boss? He’s the man… I like having cool bosses.

Tara in in Vancouver BC at the moment. Selling Art. Sounds like she did well. Her pictures sold for a total of $300 CAN, and after the rather large 10% taken by Anime Expo, she’ll end up with $163US… which makes her about $37 in the hole for the whole trip. While it isn’t as much as she would have liked, she was the only artist there to sell all of her work, and from the sounds of it, only about 5 other pieces sold. Once again, she steals the show. I hope she gains a little more self confidence from this… she is always so paranoid about whether her stuff will sell well… which seemed logical considering she’s only sold at one convention since she has been doing this. Now with 2 under her belt, I think the primary concern, rather than will it sell, is do the people at the convention have any money. 😉 Good job Tara…

Well, that all aside, I must go now, Val and Eric I think are getting bored with me typing away in my blog. I really just thought I’d post something since it’s been so long, and since I wanted to show off the new colors.
