~ups and downs
the past couple weeks have been kinda crazy. but i guess the most important thing to think about when you're down is to be open to the good things that are around you while not not not getting caught up in negative things.
today especially has been a roller coaster.
but i'm glad to say.. overall it's been a good day.
some good things today: seeing db, hearing my dad laugh behind me (right now), hearing jy's voice, being comforted by anilyn, eating good cake, finding a bunch of my cuzn's cds, seeing the cute girl who works at the place i got dinner at..
may tomorrow be even better!

~short day
so i woke up at 730 this morning, drove home, computered, then went back to sleep around 10. i woke up again at 5, played some wow, ate some food, went out to buy smokes, computered some more. this has been pretty much one of the most unproductive days ever.
but still, i got the rancho cucamonga job. i took the drug test yesterday, and found out from the hr rep that they haven't done my background check because they couldn't verify my degree from ucsd, couldn't verify my baskin robbins job, and couldn't verify my academic chess job. these are all things i have to sort out on monday.
some guildies are running aq40 tomorrow. imma set an alarm, but it's no guarantee.

so things are looking a bit up. i got an email last week from the state farm hr person telling me that there was a fire claim representative position open in rancho cucamonga. i'm kind of worried about the korean language test that they're giving me on friday. i have to speak on the phone with someone in korean for like 20 minutes. the evaluations come out like superior, advanced- high mid low, intermediate high mid low, and probably basic high mid low. my cousin said i'm probably intermediate-ish, but they're looking for someone who's at least advanced mid. still, i guess i have nothing to lose for trying.
there's this jehovah's witness korean lady that comes to our house every once in a while, and she just left. i think she comes because my mom humors her, and so do i. my dad kind of hates her. lol. but today she came with her daughter, who was super cute. what a waste!! i thought. part of me thinks that most religious people have a little bit of crazy in them, but a manageable amount. but jehovah's witnesses? no blood transfusions because of an obscure passage in a 3000 year old document that's been mistranslated, misunderstood and misinterpreted as justification for some truly evil shit? goddamn..
she was super cute though, and i guess that part of it put me in somewhat of a better mood. i think next time they show up i might have a copy of doubt to give to them, just to spark up some conversation or perhaps a copy of religious just to make them stop coming. probably in that order. doubt then religious. i hope their religion isn't against piracy.. lol

~stink
ben frank said that both fish and visitors stink after three days. it's been three weeks since my two aunts, uncle and cousin came down from washington state, and i was mostly glad they were around, i think they're starting to stink. i was talking to my other cousin about this the other day and said, "God.. if they don't leave tomorrow, i'm going to leave." so yes, if they don't leave by tomorrow, i'm going somewhere. somewhere else.
of course, my cousin also put forth a metaphor of his own about girls being underwear and after "wearing" one for one day, you have to wear a new one or at least launder the old one. i think perhaps his metaphor falls short of ben frank's.
in other news, john updike died a couple of days ago. a month ago, i planned on listing a bunch of people that died in 2008.. because there were a lot. let's see...
william f. buckley
bobby fischer
sir edmund hillary
heath ledger
arthur c. clarke
charlton heston
albert hofmann
syndey pollack
george carlin
issac hayes
richard wright
paul newman
michael crichton
hmm, i guess this is it among the people that had some sort of effect (some small, some large) on my life. it'd be tight if i could go down this list and do something in remembrance of these people. number seven would be tough to do now-ish i guess.
my internet's been really shitty the past month. some hours of the day it works fine, while in others it connects for like 10 seconds and then disconnects and follows that routine. i probably spent like 20 gold on repairs on deaths where i didn't really need to die (dc while fighting a mob at 3/4 mana and hp). still, i dinged 71, and wrath is pretty fun. they made wow so easy. as soon as i started again at 61 or 62, i had like 3 new abilities that made me able to not drink while questing plus a finishing spell and an aoe heal/damage. supposedly you can even run naxx in a pug. in the very near future i'm going to get a new router and if that doesn't solve the problem, i might switch to verizon fios or something.
also, once upon a time in america is a really good movie. sergio leone, robert de niro, ennio morricone.. goddamn.. >_< now i need to watch a fistful of dollars trilogy.
the past couple weeks have been different from the past six months because the presence of my relatives and the shittiness of my internet have precluded me from distracting myself with my usual distractions. having all this time to think about my situation kind of made things worse. but i guess it's an opportunity to realize i need to get busy. in some respects, post graduation life has been great, home food, waking up whenever i want, free time to do whatever i want. but it's time to get moving again.
btw.. i saw this comment on youtube..

Why would call a person weird for liking Isaac Hayes? Music today is fuckin silly, man. That shit is weird. Gewn Stefani? Fergie? That shit's weird. It's music for girls with bi-polar disorder and histrionic personality disorder and attention whores.
