By popular demand, I present to you another weblog entry from the world of me. In this instalment I will discuss the typical and usual nothingness's which revolve around this white-collar stronghold, suburban sprawl. Of course, I am speaking in synonyms of Camarillo.

Monday started of with ... *zones out completely*

Monday started of with-.. I can't really remember what Monday exactly I'm talking about. They're all so similar.. I'm probably piecing various Mondays into one..... Either way.. "last" ... "Monday" .. I started my late-start class at Moorpark. World History II M20B.. So far the class is pretty interesting. I'm a fan of history. Rather.. I'm a fan of world history.. So it's a good match. After class I went and got the book for the class from the book store, and upon leaving I ran into Chelsea. We went to In-n-Out where we met up with Jesse.. Ate lunch.. and soon I was back at Moorpark in my fantastic Mathematics class. After the class, I went home... and at 19.00 drove back to Moorpark for my Japanese class. That was Monday.

Tuesday came along and after working 4 hours at WebsiteASP, I went to Moorpark at 13.00 for my English class. We met in the library for some library orientation. They showed us how to use google and other search engines. I wanted to kill myself. Instead, I didn't pay attention one bit and just surfed the internet, VNC'd into my computer at home, and chatted with Chris and Matt Gauger. In the computer lab we were in, they had this really nice projector.. and this really nice, very large screen... But they used some other projector.. and projected onto about 1/5 of the screen. Again, I wanted to kill myself because I just couldn't understand why... Why only 1/5 of the screen? ... WHYYYYYYY?????? I don't know. Either way... Soon English was over and I was back at home. I did some coding into the night.. I think it was Tuesday evening, but I really don't recall. I implemented AJAX into my phpLiveStats project to practice the implementation of AJAX in a useful way. The end result can be found here. It's rather pretty, I think., but there is no caching so it is pretty slow, and there's also a bug here and there.

Wednesday was just like Monday but without lunch with Chelsea and Jesse. Instead, I went to lunch by my lonesome-self and ate at a really good pseudo Japanese place. This discovery made me happy... And that sums up Wednesday.

Thursday came along and I worked at WebsiteASP all day looooong. Friday came along and I worked at WebsiteASP all day looong. Saturday came along and I worked at Kragen all day loong. In the evening I went and saw "Lord of War" with Matt. That was the first time I had seen any of my friends in a long time (excluding the brief visit with Jesse and Chelsea for lunch on Monday.) Sunday, rather.. today.. came along and.. I worked at Kragen all day loong... And now I am here.

Perhaps now it is more clear as to why I no longer write weblog entries at the same frequency I used to write them. I have absolutely nothing interesting to write about because absolutely nothing interesting ever happens. I just work all the time.. and when I'm not working I'm going to school... and this cycle repeats over and over and over so quickly that I don't even notice that all of a sudden 4 weeks have passed or that I got hired at WebsiteASP three weeks ago.. It feels like just yesterday.

I was told earlier this week that one of my cousins was going to move to Chicago for a year or so to work at an up-scale restaurant as a chef. This is exciting to me because It means that one of my relatives is just a bit closer and I might be able to visit them... However, I've become accustomed to hearing one thing, but then nothing ever happening so I'm not crossing my fingers. Though, I did hear that my grandparents are heading to Florida on October 25th, and then travelling over to California to visit us.. That's something very exciting for me and I look forward to it.. Even though in the time with my grandparents will be brief and over way too soon.. Sadly it's always this way with any of my relatives. Not because of anything they're doing wrong, but rather just my geographical location.

Today at work, I was milking some task up at the register, really not doing much at all but wasting time, and this old lady comes in and asks me where she would find (in the store) a collar for her cat that shocks the cat when it meows. This caught me completely off guard and I sort of stared at her dazed and confused for a brief moment. She said that "someone" had told her to go to "Karnegans" (Kragen?) for the item she was seeking.. I told her that I was 100% sure we did not carry what she was seeking, but she did not believe me and spent about 10 minutes scouring the store. When she gave up and came to me again, I suggested to her that perhaps... a ... oh.. say... Pet store.. might just have what she was looking for. She agreed that this, was in fact, a good suggestion and she then went to her car. This lady was pretty old.. I pose two questions: It would have been nice to see someone accompanying her adventures, and.. Uhh.. Why is she driving? I'm all in favour of elderly people being having the right to drive.. but um.. not her..!

...

Here are some long forgotten images that I took back in.. who knows when, when I went with Matt out to New Mexico and back. These three images were taken in middle-of-nowhere, Arizona.


Middle of nowhere.


Matt is dancing to Trance which he is blasting extremely loudly from his car's audio system.


Matt is very happy because he is not in Camarillo.. Oh, and because he's blasting Trance in the middle of nowhere.

Friday morning I purchased a "Ultra ULT31310 Mini Portable Hard Drive Enclosure" and a "Maxtor DiamondMax 10 6L300R0 300GB PATA Standard Edition 7200RPM Hard Drive w/16MB Buffer" This new hard disk brings the total capacity of all the hard drives in my room to 1.1TB of use-able disk space. Thus, I have achieved a long-time goal of having over 1TB of disk space available to me. This makes me happy.

Yeh.. I guess I'll go to bed now.
