lifesavas - state of the world

so my laptop is all fucked up. the keyboard, at least. after the major beer spillage (number two of the year), the it folks replaced the keyboard. that's great. but now the only problem is that the keys seem to be wired to weird things. for example, s mutes the sound, w raises it, volume up button turns on caps lock.

i have no idea how to fix this. i'll have to bring it in again and let them figure it out.

life is strange. i'm pretty stressed about my job. i really need to finish up this project so i can have a part time job during the school year, otherwise i'm just not going to have enough money. i've got a small developing thing lined up with some guys, which will be cool to do, but that will only give me so much. i've got addictions that need to be fed, ya know.

anyway, i'm in bangor for the time being. it's been so good to be back in maine, even if for only a few days. been hanging out with fox and ben, drinkin, lokin, generally having fun. fox has two cats. i want a cat so bad, they're so pwn to just chill with.

should get back to work now

otis redding - sittin on the dock of the bay

in the library, waiting for my windowsupdate to finish. it's been quite the two weeks.

i had red sox tickets last weeks, invited a friend of mine to the game, but couldn't find his place, ended up missing the game. effing sucked hardtime. then i got pretty sick for a couple of days after that and couldn't do any work (granted, this was completely my fault.) pulled up outta that funk, then promptly spilled beer on my laptop and ruined it.

terrible feeling. thought i was going to lose all my data. 24 nervous hours later i got my data back, but lost all my programs. oh well. not a huge deal. however, as i was walking out of the IT center a copper approached me. asked me for my registration... turns out mine was expired.

my car got booted then and there and i had to walk 10 miles home. in sandals. i have blisters on the bottom of my feet the sizes of half dollars - no lie, they are disgusting. so i was sans car and sans walking ability for a few days. only could order dominos - course, i barely ate that even still. tried to do work, couldn't get much shit done.

luckily, i got my car back, my computer is slowly getting back to its previous state. oh, and my boss gave me a new laptop - effing awesome. a vaio vgn-fz160e. lots of ram, fast processor, tons of space. the screen is georgeous. unfortunately, the sound doesn't work so i can't play movies, but whatever, i'm not complaining.

so yeah, from bad, to worse, to bad, to okay. i plan on going up to maine tomorrow to spend a couple of days with friends, then bomb back down to boston for a facebook developers meeting, then more or less of the same.

hopefully i'll get up the nerve to call up this girl i've been meaning to ask out for a while. even if nothing comes of it, at least i'll have someone to hang out with. been lonely as hell for a while.

peace.

elliott smith - don't go down

it's been a long time since i've posted.

things aren't going all that well.

lots of big dreams, more bad decisions.

i fired up 127.0.0.1 one day and found this...

'i think i just made you up so i could hurt myself'

i put it there, but i don't remember doing it. quite sad, probably says a lot about me.

oh well.

lifesavas - what if it's true

ugh. rainy day in boston and i'm about to start a serious coding session. on shit i don't really care about. great. i spend my time doing work for other people on projects i don't care about - just to get paid. welcome to life, i guess, but if this is life, this is pretty disappointing.

of course, this is nothing new. for me or you, i guess.

on a more optimistic note, the 4 hour workweek is going to really change my life i think.
