my mom died 20 minutes after I left her side

stupid ass glasses suck! this is the third pair that have broken on me.

looking east from our hill you could see the looming glow of multiple fires coming from the other side of the hills last night, sounds like they've gotten worse since. andrew's school and several others are closed, and theres a massive wall of smoke covering one side of the horizon to the other. no evacuation orders for any of escondido yet, a few others have received them though.

on the bright side, it's really pretty lol

edit: some daylight pics

finally got into the trillian astra alpha! it's so purdy.

so finally have a new cell, old one has been dead for some time now, and as a result I lost all my contacts, so everyone is more than welcome to post, im or call me their phone numbers so I can rebuild my list. All I have at the moment is an outdated text file with numbers but I know most are very outdated.

cable is good for you...

well after years of reading and excessive computer use I finally broke down and got glasses. they anoy the shit out of me, not only haivng something on my face but the distortion between lense and the peripheral. eventually I'll save up and get some laser, though it will be nice for the time being to not have my eyes hurting all the time.

so got the Penny Arcade auto assult weekend thingy, fell in love with the game, reminds me of EnB, realize it's just for that weekend and not full beta, order the pre-order from EBgames, realize they don't email the code but ship it, cancel the order and run to a local EB. get home, put the beta code in, not working! so now waiting on CS account management to fix my account so I can play with my damn car again. grr on ncsoft

grr again, apparently now I wont be able to play until the next session, which I think is tomorrow, they have a very odd server uptime schedule.

servers put together, pic, not that pretty yet, but bet you can't say you have over a tera grouped in one dir ;->

jordons new book is out!! knife of dreams

win drive went down bad last night, and about to transfer the cable to the new house, so prolly wont be online for a few days.

whelp, decided to change carriers, with cingular now, and of course got new cells, it's all purdy and black. will send out the new cell number to people n such

funny shit, cartman's aristocrats

more lightning last night

I almost had a thought, of a thought I'd almost had

neat audio plugin logs all your played tracks and ups em to a shared db, essentially a LiveJournal for music, audiscrobbler homepage, seems to have a plugin for most every os/audio player out. handy way to share music tastes

the small noisy one is gone for the summer, I'm sure I'll miss im but damn will it be nice

hehe, I found the madagaskar song

in a photoshop mood lately, made a new LJ pic, workin on a wallpaper, and a new desktop skin for desktopx, it has a good deal of customability, but it's not a full shell replacement, so don't get the performance gain you would from say litestep.
