Moving sale: 90-gallon aquarium, crutches, ink cartridges, other shit.

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010

We’re gonna be moving real soon, so I’m trying to offload a bunch of my shit, plus my roommate’s aquarium. Check out my For Sale listing page. It’s white and simple, the way god intended.

For those who are too preoccupied to click through everything and want to know up front exactly what’s for sale, I have:

Working for ABC Embroidery

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

Me at ABC EmbroiderySweet! Ronnie at ABC Embroidery hooked up a workstation with a new iMac so I can do his graphics work. Still setting the computer up to meet all my requirements, but now I’m getting a lot of good hands-on experience with it — something that I never had the chance to do while working at Apple (ironic, ain’t it?).

So far, I’m annoyed by several counterintuitive things on Snow Leopard. Hopefully I’ll be able to work it all out before someone dies. The main one is: Illustrator CS4 doesn’t allow opening a file by drag-and-drop onto the application, but Photoshop CS4 does. To be fair, it’s probably an Adobe issue, not an OS issue, but regardless, it’s seriously fucking up my workflow. My quest for a streamlined workflow continues.

T-Day

Monday, November 30th, 2009

So Thanksgiving weekend was phenomenal for me. Better than last year.

Last year I was working at the Apple Store and spent T-day in Vegas alone. By the time my shift ended at the Apple Store, all the places were done serving turkey dinners. So I said, “Fuck it, I’m gonna stop by Jackson’s Bar & Grill to get me an awesomely tasty burger and play video poker.” They were right down the street and had Gambler’s Choice and comped me Heinekens for playing. Then I played PS2. That was my night. (more…)

Hellfire Wing Challenge at Smoke Eaters

Saturday, July 4th, 2009

Last week I flew to San Fran to visit Connie for a few days and see the city. Never been there before. Best memory? Last Sunday, we drove down to Santa Clara to Smoke Eaters to do the Hellfire Challenge because I saw it on Man v. Food. The basic rules: you, a waiver, 12 wings in 10 minutes, no drinks or napkins, and a 5-minute waiting period after you finish.

It was definitely an experience! The wings came in a thick, gritty soup of hot sauce. First bite, windpipe became constricted. Not unbearably hot though. Oh, it burned, but I had more painful heat from a little green pepper my dad fed me a week earlier. The hot sauce burned everywhere — fingers, lips, cheeks, mouth, stomach, and (later) asshole. The wings were hard to swallow — I could only finish 3 in 10 minutes. Connie did 5! (more…)

The grindstone and my nose

Sunday, June 7th, 2009

…they’re touching.

So ever since the Driven A.D. tour got canceled about 2 weeks ago, I’ve been keeping busy doing website work. Tomorrow I get to drive up to Palm Desert and see Connie for the first time in a month. And I get to build Legos® and play video games with Barrett. Shit yeah!

Blogging it up!

Friday, May 1st, 2009

So I’m starting a blog again after 5 years. It’s not pretty yet, as you can see. But I feel like I need to record my escapades for posterity. I’ll have to work on the cosmetics when I have the time, but for right now, I’m stoked on the blog functionality.
