So here I am, one of the first things I’m doing on my new 12″ powerbook is typing my blog post. The main thing I’m wondering is how on earth I’m going to make this keyboard dvorak. I keep trying to type in dvorak that it’s pissing me off. I’m beyond the qwetry phase now… and while I seem to know well, I’m still not typing back at my normal qwerty speed. I mainly am going for bilingual since I’m always going to have to support some computer that is using qwerty. grrr… damn inefficient keyboard layouts.

iPod rocks, got myself a new basestation too to replace the one I’m selling. Not sure about the printer yet, but I have so far set myself back 2400 after rebates. 2300 if you count the money I’ll get for my old basestation.

Getting the money was interesting. So I sold some stock, the check took 3 days to come, then I got the my bank, and they say “we have to put a hold on this since you don’t have matching funds, it’ll be 5 days”. F*ck that. So I go to work for a few hours (since damn banks don’t open until 10). Go down to BofA, and they cash the check for me. So here I am with $3100 on me, walking down the street. I make it 2 blocks to my bank, and cash the money asap. I then walk a few more blocks to the bookstore, and start my spending spree. Oh it was fun. I want this and this and this and this. 10 minutes later, the powerbook shows from the warehouse, and I’m out the door with 2 armfulls of stuff, hiking back to the closest building I can stash the stuff in… my old work. I stash everything except the ipod and the powerbook. the printer is there, as are the boxes for everything.

I can’t wait to get home to start installing software on this thing and sorting through my piles of mp3 cd’s looking for the music I want to put on my ipod.

Good to be back though… if only I could stop wanting to hit e hoping it’s a .

Damn qwerty… I hope you rot in hell you inefficient piece of shit layout. die die die.

I’m not quite dead.

I feel much better today. I woke up feeling better, and I’m still feeling better. Everyone is back at work, I had a chance to talk about some of the stuff that was bothering me last night, and all and all, I feel much better. Can’t say it’ll last, but for the moment, I’m going to enjoy it.

I need a hobby… anyone have any ideas? I need inexpensive and something that doesn’t necessarily require large quantities of artistic talent. Please have all applications to me no later than yesterday, and be prepared for a strict and probing interview. Er, or is that Innerview… no, that’s just wrong.

I’ve been slowly realizing over the past few days that I’m going to loose two good friends in September. Kat, who’s going to Japan for a year (so she’ll be back) and Chris, who’s moving to Japan for as long as he possibly can I’d imagine. Sure, there’s aim… but no midweek beers, or long sessions of Battlefield or GTA3:VC. Painful… but, we all must pursue our goals.

Hate loosing friends… but as I look at it more, it’s not really a loss so much as a relocation. And I am going to try my damndest to get enough money together to go visit them during the year that they are both in Japan. We shall see… but I want to see Japan, and what better way to do it than if you have a friend over there.

Fedex is certainly beating the f*ck out of their packages recently. This is the second package we’ve gotten from fedex that the box has been beat to hell and a large hole is in the box. Mind you it wasn’t very well packed to start with, but still… if someone from Fedex ever reads this, by god, take care with packages you don’t know anything about. The first one was of 2 120gig Firewire drives, and the second one was 3 Tally Toner Cartriges. And to CDW, pack your shit a little better. I constantly receive stuff from you guys that has inappropriate packing material used to pack something fragile. And while I’m bitching, Gateway, you need to stop using Peanuts, or start using ones that are Cornstarch based and not styrofoam ones.

Well, that all said, I think I’m going to get back to “work”… have a wonderful day, all of you, and maybe I’ll feel wordy and post again tonight.

I’m getting better… I feel happy, I feel happy… *thud*
