“…some say we’ll see armageddon soon.”
In a half-awake / half-asleep kind of daze, my father knocks on my bedroom door to inform me we are under attack.
I am in awe. This is not a movie. This is our country, literally under attack.
Years from now we’ll be asking each other “Do you remember what you were doing when the World Trade Centers were collapsing on top of New York, engulphing the entire city in smoke?”
This is a frightening event… and my heart aches for the people personally affected by these events across the US. Unfortunatly, for my heart… the entire US is affected.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to fucking be at work in 45 minutes.
Ah yes! Download IE 6.0 —– Finally, I can see those different colored scroll bars I worked so hard on again.
So remember when I was in that big kick about people I know sending me pictures of themselves nude? Not for pleasure… just because (No one understood then, and probably don’t now)
Anyway… that faded away…. and now, I find myself with pictures a few people I talk to online…. naked. Professioanlly taken, of course. And it doesn’t mean much to me… but I gotta find it amusing.
I’m hoping this week will be as productive as I hope it will be.
Updated The Archives. Sorry to any who wanted them earlier…
Ooh let’s see…
Went out with Tricia tonight to a play at The Colonial Playhouse. Met her friend “Crazy Dave” who was in the play, taking on the role of a man AND a woman. Quite an interesting night. Got lost trying to find her new home in East Falls (Near Manayunk) and was late to the play. Taking her back home, with Taco Bell in hand, we were locked out… so we plopped down on the front steps and started eating. She looked fabulous. Too hot to be hanging out with the likes of me…
So I left there, because I had John waiting for me at his house. He turned 21 at midnight so we went to McGuillicuddy’s. Had a few drinks, the band was still playing when we arrived at 1:00. We stayed until close — and here, at 3am, I sit. A good night. Wow. Haven’t had one of those in a long time.
I really could have used my phone tonight. It better be activated on Tuesday or someone’s gonna hear it! Vacation in just over a week, too!
God, it will be nice. I will be staying there alone so I may get lonely at times, but I think it’s for the best. There’s a couple people I’ve casually asked to visit for a night or so… doubtful they will show up, but it’s OK with me. I just hope the TV is working, unlike the last time I went down for a weekend. That would suck. I think I’ll take down my keyboard and camera. Haven’t touched either of them in months. Not only do I barely have time, but I can’t play with my dad around anymore.
#1: I feel like I’m interrupting his TV watching (Which I know is not the case)
#2: He’ll usually come out and talk to me about what I’m doing or try to join in on the drums (Which he wouldn’t have the energy for now)
#3: I just am very self-conscious when trying to write a song. I need absolute privacy anymore. No one can hear… and he’s always home.
None of this is his fault. It’s all in my head.
Thanks to those who wrote me on the restoration. I do appreciate it.
All for now…
I touched up the restoration a bit. You may not notice any changes, but they’re there.
NOW….. how much do you charge someone for this?
A customer came in today and needed a couple pictures restored. Prices were to be one at $99.99. The other one was either going to be $79.99 or $99.99, depending on how the restoration people classed it.
Well, one was enough. I told her if she wouldn’t mind I’d like to take it home and see what I could do with it.
Instead of paying a hundred bucks and waiting what could be up to 5 or 6 weeks, she opted to let me try. So… tonight after maybe 2 hours of working on it, I came up with this.
What do you think? (Click “Coz” below)
So my phone wasn’t connected today. This means, since apparently they only activate employee plans every Tuesday…. that I have to wait till next Tuesday. Bullshit.
I am kinda pissed.
Hell of a day today. And it’s only gonna get worse. Each week we lose more employees. Either to school, or sudden move of residency, or people sick of having no help… and leaving. It’s a downward spiral and there’s nothing stopping it because no one’s applying. The few that are, are REAL idiots. Believe me, we’ve had to hire a couple. And since the only training is in-store while working… you may as well just have that person NOT there.
When I go on vacation, another person leaves that same week. It’s hell.
Hell.
For all you Dirty Dancing fans out there…. Dirty Dancing 2, now in the works!
Can you say………. Bad idea?
*ow,* I just bit my tongue!
Ok, what I was gonna say, was…. take a look at this: www.hi-res.net —- Perhaps I’m the only one who DOESN’T know of these guys. It’s insane what they can do. This is quality at it’s peak. They’re the guys (guys, gals, guy, gal, whatever) who do the Requiem For A Dream movie website, which… I must see because it was directed by the guy who did “Pi” and “Cubed”
