New improved suckage

Tue, 2001/05/29 - 2:03pm

Actually today hasn't been so bad. They had the quarterly Internet Development Group (IDG) meeting today and that means half the day was nothing but sitting in a boardroom eating doughnuts, drinking coffee and trying not to fall asleep. It's pathetic though. I feel like that guy in "Office Space" - I'm just trying to kill eight hours every day. Two more to go right now...

At Lorra's Request

Mon, 2001/05/28 - 10:39pm
I ain't no kook
Me surfing, early spring 1989.

And while I was spelunking...

Here are a couple for Lorra:

My old surf club's logo from 1988 (135 Kb)

One of my old surf drawings from the same year (200 Kb)

I Found It!!

This is for Trish:

Madonna
Madonna. The paper has yellowed a bit and it is a bit smudged, but what do you want? It was drawn in 1984

And I found a few other rock stars while I was looking:


I need a better camera

Mon, 2001/05/28 - 7:50pm

Well it's done. I finished the painting of Daevina. The photo of it looks like crap, as do most of the photos of my paintings in my portfolio because my digital camera is cheap like borscht.


Yeah, I'm thrilled.

Mon, 2001/05/28 - 9:08am

I'm determined to feign enthusiasm for political purposes, but an hour into my fifth week here and I am bored and depressed. My grey cubicle surrounds me like an anaconda. My mind's eye is fixated on the unfinished painting on my easel and three countdown clocks are ticking in my head... 7 hours left to the day, 4 more days in the week, 5 more months in this contract.

Blah.

I just don't feel like going to Sanctuary tonight. I was planning to go, I even washed my club clothes and started getting ready. Now I've changed my mind. Trish won't be there. Mike's decided not to go. I can't get drunk because of work tomorrow and the annoying fact that I have limited funds. I think I'm better off to save what little I have for when Lorra is in town next week.


The walk home.

Sun, 2001/05/27 - 2:10pm

This is for Lorra because she liked the walk to work.





Do I want to go out?

Sat, 2001/05/26 - 7:42pm

I can't decide if I want to go out tonight. I was out last night until dawn with Trish and Kim and had a lot of fun so do I really want to go out again tonight? I didn't get much accomplished today except for going to the bank again to put an end to my ongoing problems (yet somehow I don't think they are over), had some munchies at the Vine Yard, went to the grocery store, then came back here and puttered at things like fixing my shoe.


Stalkers Take Note: my commute

Sat, 2001/05/26 - 6:25pm

My commute is the best part of my working day. This almost makes up for sitting a cubicle for 40 hours a week:
