PIATPIATPIAT!
A random guy in the Target parking lot complimented my T-shirt with Willem Dafoe from The Life Aquatic on it.

I've had this shirt for years and get complimented on it constantly and it always makes my day because I designed it.

:) That's amazing! And now you know the place that hired you is either 1) awesome or 2) incredibly lazy and doesn't read things. Either way you win.

So far, apart from the lack of air conditioning in a commercial kitchen, it's promising to be the former. I'm hyped.

Landed another signing though with a much much bigger and respected label last night.

The second half of Mom's birthday present came today, I finally got a call from someone wanting my input in a football book he's writing and I'm not sore after riding my bike yesterday.

I should have played Cash 3. I haven't had this many things go right in a single day in a long time.

Fuckin awesome day at the golf course where I work. Kind of dead so I played softball with my boss, did little work for the whole day, and some woman from a neighborhood house came over and asked me and my coworker how we like our burgers. Then she came back an hour later with corn on the cob, the burgers, and a fuckin' beer to boot. This was already after I got a free burger from the proshop-restaurant people because they love me.

Cap that off with playing 5 holes after clocking out and BOOM.

Hung out yesterday with a girl I really like but have no future with after this week for a number of reasons that I'm not getting into here. We're just enjoying our time together.

Then I went to the bars yesterday and this mega-babe and I hit it off quite well. She's moving to LA in like a week though so :(

Then after the bars I went to my best friend's house and I finally met her other best friend who was really cool and we both hit it off too.

So many girls! It was a pretty great evening yesterday. I just wish I wasn't leaving this town in a week so I could get something started!

It's SQUARE, motherfuck!
I'm the young guy at the office, so everyone assumes that I'm also a computer programmer. This image has been upheld mainly because the problems they've had are simple "old person vs. technology" issues, that I can easily handle.
Today, however, they threw something at me that I had absolutely no clue how to deal with. I took a complete shot in the dark with people looking over my shoulder, but I somehow guessed correctly and fixed the insurmountable problem.
I am a machine-god to these people now.:smug:


Also, because the guy in the next office is old, he grunts loudly whenever he stands up from his desk, so I have a reliable warning signal for when I need to hide the book I'm reading.

I just moved to a new city and have been feeling really unsure of myself, so I needed this. :unsmith:

Woke up actually having gotten a good night's sleep, and got 100% on my chemistry field test (basically the government tests out future final exam questions on current students to see if they're fair) and the instructor actually got out of his way to tell me it's the first time he's seen anyone get 100% on the multiple choice, let alone 100% total! Also it's worth 5% of my grade AND replaces one of my lovely test marks so it boosts me up to 95% overall :)

The sky calls to us~
I hate so much about my situation right now, and the weeks before this have been just upsetting in many ways. So I'm trying to keep my eyes on the good little things.

My sister went out of her way to take me to the emergency care clinic the instant she landed coming back from her trip, despite her having her own stresses and being generally exhausted.

I went to my world's favorite huge amazing grocery store this week for the first time in almost a year. I got fruits I've never tried, my favorite hot salsa I thought was gone forever, and some great coffee.

They had affogato at the cafe there, which is vanilla gelato with a shot of espresso and it was so god drat good I couldn't believe it. They give you a straw with it and the espresso at the bottom is still nice and bitter and so so good. :h:

And I finally got a new wallet, after several years (yes, years) of searching for a perfect replacement.

Do you go to a small private liberal arts school in western Michigan? My alma mater has their Commencement today as well (I graduated last year).

Nothing to do today, so after a busy couple of weeks it's time to catch up on some gaming and LPs, and finally start cleaning my place to move out in a few weeks.
The only stain on my day? I'm out of toilet paper.

Nope. West coast. :)

But why is my day awesome? I'm officially an alumni after six long years of trudging along, thinking I'd never actually finish. :woop: I also ran into an old friend who was also graduating and got to spend the ceremony rocking out to daft punk with him.

First day of summer school.

I know this sounds like it sucks, but I realized I can't really sit still and stay on the computer for weeks on end. I just get annoying to people because im always looking for something to do....when everyone else is either working or in college.

Im taking a herp derp computer class because I need that passed before I can get to a more advanced course. The teacher was a pretty old dude, who looked like the guy from Up! He was pretty funny and had a light hearted sense of humor. Overall nice first day, sat next to an old friend.

Also we're done packing! We're moving out and tomorrow we're moving in to our new place. Turns out theres internet for the same price here too but at twice the speeds :D
