First, a summary of the last two days...and then some things i write to other people on Deviant art. Their part of the conversation is not included, so it might seem all mixed up and outta context...but still, they're my thoughts, they're in type, and some of them might be somewhat interesting...so they belong here ( Read more... )

So yesterday Hennery had my busting my ass digging ditching and constructing forms for a church barbeque pit and the benches that will be set up around it. My mits look pretty gnarly, my arms ache a little, there’s a tender muscle in the right up my upper back, but other than that, I survived. Luckily I go in to work tomorrow, so my hands’ll have ( Read more... )

2 job interviews today and both went without mishap. The first was at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, and the interviewer was an old German man named Noel. I can always tell a German immigrant because they’re always impressed with my last name (Burggraf is somewhat aristocratic in Germany [meaning ‘count of the castle’]; it’s a prefix to some ( Read more... )

Morning run today was at the lake. The other great accomplishment of the day was watching Zoolander. In general I’m laying low and waiting for fiesta (and the thousands of tourists that come with it) to blow over like a storm ( Read more... )

I just fed Tumblers a portion of an energy bar. Now to see what happens. Aside from Tumblers, I finally got rid of-I mean said goodbye to my houseguests today ( Read more... )

At a church group dinner Joel and I reestablished an idea to build a render farm using the Universities astrophysics computer network during off hours. We’ll meet at the University tomorrow, and figure out what will need to be done. The department runs a Linux network, and as far as I have read, that should be compatible with all the necessary ( Read more... )

Right after I made last nights post I had to call the cops on noisy neighbors. I’ll make a fine Scrooge someday.

Anyway, the events of today were as follows: La Cumbre mall for clothing, CBTL for coffee, and then a long walk at dusk.

Tomorrow: Church ‘n’ Things.

Crab fishing with Beastworth this afternoon. In the first two hours, and didn’t pull up any crabs, or fish. It wasn’t until we bated the crab traps with squid as opposed to fish that the crabs began to show some interest. In linking crabs to concept art, crabs are conceptual gold. All of the spider crabs that we pulled up had been uniquely ( Read more... )
