The NC and FL installations weren't really much to speak of. I did all the training and most of the integration/application for NC; I would've done much of the same in FL if it weren't for huge complications that we knew about before going to the install. Long story short, I'm doing well there and am a little bit ahead of schedule from where I'm ( Read more... )

-- "Hey, man... how's it been?"

-- "Oh, you know... the usual. Hydroplaned into a Buick, practically totaled my car*, and had to buy a Jeep."

* Well... No, I didn't actually total my car. I was able to walk away and drive away from the accident, but with a transmission that's going and a cracked fuel line before I got into the accident... and a ( Read more... )

Zappa Plays Zappa.

Is it worth taking a day off to see?

So I went to a concert tonight. Keb Mo' and the Robert Cray Band at the Pier Six Pavillion in Baltimore. It was unbelievable. I was maybe 15 rows back, but still close enough that I had a great view. Wound up being kind of an intimate set, and there weren't really any people around, so I kind of took advantage of the space and was "that guy ( Read more... )

After all that previous stuff, a confession:

I'm not really proud of the things that I did last night.

Mostly just leaving the bar with a girl and drinking way too much, but still... I'm not so impressed with myself right now. I could've done a lot more with my day off today then sleeping until 4pm while nursing my mad hangover.

Despite the whole NASCAR atmosphere surrounding Oxford (in Talladega county), it was pretty cool. One of the easiest installs and everything that could've gone right did ( Read more... )

So there's been a couple of things that I wanted to get down here. Most of it has already been written in my head and I'm just now getting a chance to put it down. There's gonna be three of these, so apologies in advance for spamming your friends' lists ( Read more... )

Oxford, Alabama. Whoo.  Actually, from what I've seen so far, and the state smells really natural... untouched by nature... good. Most of the civilization here lies along tiny strip-malls the dot the highways.  But it's not really a place people stay in... just for people passing through.  It seems that thinking somehow got ingrained into the ( Read more... )

After the first day of the festival, V-Fest already blew my mind. Hopefully tomorrow's going to be as good if not better.

Not guaranteeing that I'll be able to get online before Thursday -- I'm going out to Alabama Monday; I'll explain later -- so I wanted to do a quick recap of the shows I saw today while it's still fresh in my head.

...I could mention my nervousness for starting my first *real* job on Monday. I could mention my displeasure in working 8-6 tomorrow at Best Buy before said first day of work. I could also go off on how excited I am that Man-Ram is off to the Dodgers ( Read more... )
