Apparently this last AC,
A few people drew me on a napkin so I could go to dinner with them. Thanks guys. That is one of the sweetest/dorkiest things I have ever heard of.
That is freaking adorable. Does anyone have the napkin for a scan?
I miss you guys.
Guess we'll just have to make this next FC kick more ass to make up for my absence.

I've run out of internet
D:
DevArt, FA, livejournal, facebook, myspace, gmail, twitter, World of Warcraft, and more forums and web comics than I care to admit too. But I'm finished. There is no more to read tonight.
I guess I'll go to bed. Not because I need to wake up, but because I've run out of things to amuse myself with. Shame shame.

Thanks for continuing to ask. :)

My car is working.
Whether she be called Shelob, Big Red, The Boat, or the Heart heart love sugar rainbow machine, my 99' Ford Taurus SE is back on the streets. After a month of enough welding, pick and pulls, sanding, drilling, and replacing to put Frankenstein to shame, the car is now fully operational. Well, almost. The bumper and right doors are dented and the air conditioning doesn't work, but it's capable of rolling from place to place.
Insurance active. Registration active. Summer active. Job prospects marginal. It's adventure time.

airukitsu is offering spiffy mood themes. If you want an example, check out mine. :D
Go check her lj for details. Funds will go towards transporting the monohorn dragon weirdo and her freak buddy to Anthrocon, I believe.
She is now offering caricatures and custom icons as well.

In other news, I just returned from the Indiana Jones movie. No spoilers. It was cheesy, over the top, excessive, formulaic, and I loved nearly every minute of it.
Go to the movies expecting a ride. Expect Nazi face melting and shamelessly epic lines. Don't expect a cognitively engaging piece of film. All in all, I approve.

Just got back from the Dresden Dolls show.
The energy was infectious. By the time they got off stage, half the audience was ready to go home, slap on some eye liner, and start a revolution. There is something about live music which gets under your skin. It settles in nice and comfy and starts up a nasty itch that makes you wonder what lies behind the walls people place between themselves and everyone else.
ziibminthalij (We have dorky Swahili internet names XD) was nice enough to find me a ticket. I only wish we had gotten more time to hang out.
Oh well. We must amend this come summer time.

Played Poker with some friends the other night.
I was getting crappy hands but managed to stay in the game for most of the night. At one point I bluffed a friend out of a few bucks with a pair of twos. At another point, I drew a pocket Queen and an Ace of Hearts and left the table to have a cigarette. When my friend asked me if I was going to fold, I just told him to have me match whatever anyone raised and tell me if I won when I came back.
Pair of queens. Another three bucks. Good ol Texas Hold em.
Not a bad game. Well worth the five dollars to play. God knows I drank that much in beer. The numbers eventually caught up with me and I walked away from the table for good. At least for the night.
It seems that my luck has been catching up with me lately. As the great pendulum swings, ripples of movement impact ones life. Pami is back is town and we are no longer fighting. Positive ripple. I can't find a good job. Negative ripple. I'm slowly finding more freelance work. Positive ripple. My car stopped working Saturday and hasn't turned on since. A very large, very negative piece of karmatic debris in my pond.
I'm going to call a friend and have him take a look at my car. Some friends from the filming last week suggested that it may be a fuel injector problem. I'm hoping that the transmission has not gone out.
Either way, I will most likely have to get a crappy job in Brentwood soon so I can make the funds to fix my car. I will not work retail or sales, which definitely limits the possibilities in this suburban town. It just feels so demeaning having done four years of college and being reduced to doing something like making coffee or selling insurance.
I have to do something soon or that pendulum is going to cut me next time it comes around the middle. You can't bluff a machine.

Filming for "The Roomie" finished this Wednesday.
I know I've been sparse with details until now.
Thank you for being patient.
"The Roomie" is a short film by redstorm in which three loser roommates attempt to fill a space in their apartment. They eventually find the perfect roommate, a clean cut cute girl who is hiding some dark secrets. Horror Comedy.
Lex asked gatcat and me to help Assistant Direct the piece.
She really pulled out all the stops for this one. Excellent Camera equipment and talent was provided by the local community. Studio space was provided by Ohlone College.
Here are some sneak peak photos by gatcat
( Behind the scenes at The Roomie )
Gat does some good work. More of his photography can be seen at GatCat's DeviantArt
To everyone who helped with the project,
The final product should be completed by the middle of next month. I'll post again when I have more details.

I just misread someone's lj name as, "Rainbowjew".
It's time to go to sleep.
Tomorrow is the last day of filming for redstorm's movie. If gatcat allows me to, I'll post some photos from the shoot in the evening.
Editing is scheduled to be finished in mid May. That is, of course, only if we can find a proper editor.

Met up with my old friend Julia from high school, her friend Siggy, and Daryl.
Randy fished us out of some trouble finding crash space.
The day began with coffee and an omelette at a French cafe, followed by a jazz festival, some general mischief, a picnic, and plenty of wine and whiskey.
All in all I feel satisfied..

April Fools day is like Christmas on the internet.
It's the one day where this place becomes my stomping grounds. This year was the year of the Rick'Roll. I had never even heard of being Rick'Rolled until this year and I must have fallen for it a dozen times.
Yes, Lazaro was actually my great grandfather. Weird eh?
Yes, everything else that I posted yesterday was an April Fools Joke.
No, I am not being deported.
No, I am not actually unhappy with Airu or Mala.
No, I am not emo.
I thought the bad poetry in the last one would have been a dead give away.
I suggest that everyone go sign/read the Petition to keep me in America. There are some epic entires in there.
I would like to thank everyone who played along. You made yesterday believable.
To everyone who fell for it,
Thank you for caring and/or defending me.
Please take this as a reminder not to start drama over livejournal, as it simply turns into an elongated series of ROFLs and LOLs. The truth of the matter is that friends deserve a better place to explain themselves on serious issues than an online forum.
Don't disrespect them by posting passive aggressive, or simply aggressive, messages on the internet.
Finally, there were a few exceptional April Fools Day jokes which I would like to acknowledge and share.
( Kigs' April Fools Awards 2008 )
Please comment with your nominees for the Best April Fools Joke of 2008.
I will post up the winner tomorrow so everyone can see it.

Since malaikawolfcat and airukitsu decided to make a spectacle of my problems, I'm posting this here publicly.
First to Mala,
I hate you.
Don't lie to the internet.
To Airu,
Story time!
Little known fact (This is true. I fucking swear):
My great grandfather was Lazaro Cardenas, the former President of Mexico who was well known for oil trades, riding to meetings on his horse, and being the person who sold lower California to the United States.
My family is fairly well known down there. How is this a problem?
Thanks to Airu's public announcement that I am an illegal immigrant, I received an unsavory phone call this evening.
I am being deported.
Thanks Airu. Bitch.
Truly,
Kigs |
