| 19 oct 2001 i'm wearing my orbital concert t-shirt today.� and coincidentally, while i was scarfing down a cup of noodles in the kitchen, i noticed that orbital is coming to concert next wednesday.� shit.� anybody want to go with me?� i love orbital.� i saw them two years ago, and it was really awesome except for the fact that i was freaking out about my tourette's.� *sigh*� i remember i couldn't sit still in my seat because i felt like i was about to crawl out of my skin.� so i took a lot of smoking breaks down in the arena by myself, sitting against the wall.� ack. i had some really weird dreams that kept waking me up.� too bad i can't remember any of them. so i'm leaving for LA in less than two hours.� i'm all packed up, and because i have to bring along my suit, i'm packing more volume for this 3-day trip than i did for my near week-long stay in new york.� *sigh*� i hate bringing a lot of shit.� i'm always one of the lightest packers of anyone i know.� i guess it's because i have no problems wearing my clothes over and over again... even boxers and socks!� yeah, i'm gross, but hey... i pack light, what can i say. i knew that jay was gonna be on call last night, so i was tempted to close all the curtains at home and just roam around the house naked all night.� but i guess it's kind of gross... would you want to sit on our couch/futon if you knew that my naked ass had been in contact with it before?� see?� so i was a good boy last night and kept my clothes on. i'm excited about the fact that all of us are going to stay at alex's house.� it'll be like one big slumber party.� apparently, the house (being new) is pretty much unfurnished... it's got two beds and a tv, and nothing else.� alex did say repeatedly that he has porn on his satellite, so i guess you know what we'll be watching tonight... but i have to say... too much porn is hella desensitizing.� when i got my hotel room all by myself in japan (at the kanda station hotel), i ordered a night of porn and tried to conduct this experiment of whether or not i could keep it on all night, even while i was sleeping.� but i tried to sleep, and all that moaning and stuff just kept me up and got really annoying, so at like 3am, i gave up on the experiment and turned the tv off. (2 hours later) yay!� my chip works!� i've been in the lab all day, which is quite a change for my working life because i actually felt like i was doing work.� like real, mentally engaging, productive WORK.� and it fucking works.� so i'm happy.� i swear, labwork is can be incredibly frustrating when you have no idea what's wrong... i mean, in simulation it works, and you think and think about it, and you can't find any problems, and it's just DEAD in the lab.� today, it was a stupid stupid problem, but i fixed it, and i held my breath... and yay.� the shit is functioning properly.� for you techies out there, what i basically had to do was design two separate chips that generate pulses, and they have to lock to each other and match each other's periods and phases.� it's basically a digital PLL (phase lock loop).� kinda cool. shit.� i have to leave in like ten minutes.� yeah, it's not even 4, but jeremy, kate, and i have to drive down to LA, and i'd like to avoid traffic as much as possible, especially at that morgan hill section, which is just horrendous.� ack.� four lanes converging into two lanes... mathematically and logistically, that's just gonna always be bad. i think what attracts me most to women is that they're soft.� i love softness.� i could play with that stuff all day long and never get bored.� and nothing's softer than a nice pair of non-silicone breasts.� *yum*� *smacks his lips* ok.� i know this is short, and i really wanted to finish this entry out, but i gotta jet.� i'm not looking forward the 5-6 hour drive down there.� *sigh*� AND the drive back, too!� shit. have a nice weekend, y'all. "the world's a rollercoaster and i am not strapped in maybe i should hold with care but my hands are busy in the air i wish you were here" |
