I guess it's more efficient than the last one. Even has a spellcheck. But who would use such a thing... The bloggin' x-perience iz all about da slangz 'n da 1337-zpeak rite?
So I guess my rate of update so far is around 1 post a month.. Hehe, I haven't forgotten.

Nine thirty pm. I came in originally because I thought I'd do some extra work, to make up for distracting myself with the web browser all day long today and yesterday--it's been hard lately to focus my attention on my job.

I just finished cleaning up the template, and now I'm getting tired, with melancholy circus music playing in my head. It's more like a waltz than a silly polka that you might have imagined. I'll try to update on what's been happening. (That's almost a year and a half from the last entry; I must be crazy!

No one's around here to listen. Too tired to write about much, except to proudly announce, I bought a new car!
But it's not the one below. Not exactly anyhow.

And so now I'm in the market for a new car.
I've been doing some amount of research. I don't want a new car yet; I don't believe I should get something shiny and new for the sake it being new. Plus, it's possibly I might end up damaging it again, judging from my track record so far. But don't worry atomsk02http://www.blogger.com/profile/12056835736909024942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758593.post-855261592002-12-04T23:05:00.000-08:002002-12-04T23:41:26.000-08:00
HMM... i was just rummaging thru the japanese website that I got the apple sidra pic from, and came upon this one. "NETWORKER" drink? with resident evil characters on it? that's kinda cool; i'd drink something with Jill Valentine on it. Red Bull gives you wings; maybe this drink gives you the power to kick zombie ass in a tube-top.

WHY is it that whenever I drink Taiwanese APPLE SIDRA [å_‰Ê�¼‘Å], my mouth starts to feel dry? This sharp and flavorful soda is apple-licious. It's great for sipping at work and is certainly more natural than Dr. Pepper or Coke. But it seems to dissolve the saliva right out of my mouth after a couple of gulps, leaving my tongue groping for more moisture like coffee tends to do, only atomsk02http://www.blogger.com/profile/12056835736909024942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758593.post-847533912002-11-19T00:40:00.000-08:002002-11-19T00:43:38.000-08:00I updated my template today. Dude these things really takes up time for me. I lack the genes for web design, but imitation is a skill well-honed from school. Well, even typing up a blog entry moves slowly for me; I make solid use of that backspace key in search of the right words.
Well, nothing happened much for me last weekend, 'cept on last Friday I visited the scene shop of a very cool atomsk02http://www.blogger.com/profile/12056835736909024942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758593.post-840534882002-11-05T03:02:00.000-08:002002-11-05T13:29:24.000-08:00OH, and the word of wisdom for tonight is, don't go driving crazy around Schenley. in fact don't drive crazy anywhere, unless you really know what you're doing. I bet none of us do. Two of us can attest that the excitement of rounding corners at hair-style changing speeds cannot compare to the "thrill" of working with insurance claims and hospital bills, or the wrath of parents for that matteratomsk02http://www.blogger.com/profile/12056835736909024942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758593.post-840522002002-11-05T02:06:00.000-08:002002-11-05T02:49:57.000-08:00DIVERSITY in the bay area is amazing, even overwhelming. You can't always take that for granted.

A pair of words so oft-quoted we might hear them in the news, use them in our conversations, without giving a second thought. Yet life is not the opposite of death. Birth is the opposite of death. Life, it is a progression from birth and death. a journey between many births and many deaths.

I thought in the j-rock category only Luna Sea, The Pillows (who brought us the FLCL anime soundtrack, of course), and a few others could trojan their melodies into my head again and again, but lately I've been humming a few singles from Plastic Tree a lot. on the web, people seem to say everyone knows this band, but few have heard their music. do you knowatomsk02http://www.blogger.com/profile/12056835736909024942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758593.post-821842362002-09-27T01:31:00.000-07:002002-09-27T01:32:42.000-07:00TODAY i took my car to the auto shop. it's been, what, maybe three weeks since it started making noises. not the hyperactive bird-chirping that my engine belt was making during winter in pittsburgh, but a rather "wooden" sounding slow creaking -- like i'm sitting right in the bowel of a sea-faring ship being tossed by ocean waves -- which creeps up when i'm accelerating into a turn. the noisesatomsk02http://www.blogger.com/profile/12056835736909024942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758593.post-819241332002-09-21T13:25:00.000-07:002002-10-15T13:03:48.000-07:00my fingers hurt, and i'm happy about it! no.. i haven't turned masochistic since the last time you saw me. if i were, moving out to california would totally be the wrong choice =) no, actually, i've been trying to get back into playing my guitar. i took classical for a couple years as a kid and haven't touched it since high school. moving out here i decided to ship it with me; i feel some atomsk02http://www.blogger.com/profile/12056835736909024942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758593.post-818569872002-09-19T21:48:00.000-07:002002-09-21T12:36:47.000-07:00i should've posted this yesterday.. but i'd gotten lazy and went home and slept early. =) my living room still needs a sofa. i would've already run out and bought something if i wasn't being so frugal and choosey at the same time. instead, i've been scanning the classifieds on craig's list and hoping to find a good deal on a leather couch, something black and comfortable, not too new and atomsk02http://www.blogger.com/profile/12056835736909024942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758593.post-818319252002-09-19T11:14:00.000-07:002002-09-19T11:16:33.000-07:00ack.. i was just glancing through my blog, thinking about something to post, when i realized, there's the sprint pcs guy looking back at me in the ad banner above, holding out a samsung phone and smiling as if he knew the depths of my daily concerns could be solved with p-c-s.
