I Accuse My Parents!

Friday, August 27th, 2004

Went over to Josh’s place tonight and we watched a MST3K that I vaguely remembered. It was called I Accuse My Parents. This guy had a bad life and blamed his parents for it in the end, which was actually shown in the beginning. It was, as all of the movies that they show, awful, but hilarious at the same time.

Afterwards, we played the game of Life. I won! I was a little reluctant to enjoying the game, but we had a really good time. The last time I played that game, we had to take shots of Jose Cuervo whenever something happened, and it happened to me a lot. It was nasty. Luckily, Josh, Mandy, and Brenna weren’t so mean.

I called on an application for TechStar today. They said that the position was filled, but the man I talked to asked about my qualifications. While talking he asked, “You don’t know C#, do you?” How exciting is that? They may end up needing someone for my favorite language at the time. He said he’d call if they get a work requisition. I also found another job to apply for on Monster, but somehow I got stopped in the middle of my application. It’s a project for Monday, I guess.

I have to work from ten to seven tomorrow, and then meet Dean and Trever for dinner at HuHot. I really like HuHot, but I’m a little weary on the Trever issue. Trever has strange views about the way the world works and they way that it should be. For instance, he insists that I must come out to my parents, as if it was for the greater good of humanity. I would agree that it’s important, but that the time will come on its own. He’s also extremely hung up on ages. He was all dissappointed last time that we saw him, because I wasn’t twenty-one. Oh, boo-hoo. It should be interesting. If he bothers me about it, I’ll just have to tell him what I think of whatever world view that he’s trying to pin me with.

It’s sleepy time.

The Wind

The last few days have been an interesting set of ups and downs emotionally. Nothing really major has happened, and things haven’t been too extreme in terms of emotional opposites, but I’ve definately felt happy and sad with greater frequency. I think that I’ll be better for a while now.

I played a lot of Space Channel Five, which has helped take my mind off of things. I also began to code on MetaWeblogger. When I realized the solution to what I needed to do, it was too late last night. Today, I realized that I had to overhaul more than I wanted, and the documentation I needed was not online so I couldn’t work with it. However, I occupied myself.

I installed Firefox on Dean’s computer today. I feel like I have done a great service to the universe by taking him off of Internet Explorer. Go me.

There was a news story on Slashdot discussing a new release of Enlightenment, which was exciting to read about. I really want to see what DR17 will be like, but that could be another six months. Enlightenment has always been one of my favorite window managers, and the idea of a desktop shell from these developers is promising in my book.
