I’ve got high hopes for big letdowns

Today is one of those days where I just want be like this:

But I know that I'll end up actually doing this:

Minus all the smoking and drinking.

While Lila is at the fair, I figured it could give me some time to clean out my closet and maybe rearrange my computer set up a little bit, give the old MacPro a good internal cleaning (which reminds me I have to go and buy some compressed air) and maybe add a new hard drive, tackle some of the laundry that's been hanging around, we'll see.

Well, time to uhh... err... huh... procrastinate!

We brought it back, hard!

I'm sitting in a hotel room near L.A.X., the area where it's close enough to the airport where you can go to your car and not feel like you're going to get shot, but still far enough away that you don't hear the roar of the jet engines (which kinda sucks that I can't hear 'em).

Everyone one is doing their best to rush and get cleaned up so we can make it to the Staples center early, we're seeing Justin Timberlake tonight, and sadly we have general admission tickets, so we have to wait in line.

The chair I'm sitting on is way too low and it makes typing quite difficult.

Anyhoo, I kind of feel like a business man or something, laptop, a small collection of iPods, a fancy laptop bag and camera, blazer and black glasses. I even went downstairs and had a breakfast consisting of toast, blackberry jam and glass of Coke. The only thing missing is a free copy of USA Today.

I often wish that at times that I were a corporate salary man, I have periods in my life where I absolutely love hotel rooms and other times were I despise the word.

We're going to meet up with J.R. and Ginger at Staples and have some bottled waters, maybe some fast food sitting in an ice chest, sounds like fun.

I bought a new fountain pen the other day and I absolutely adore it! The amount of fun I've had trying to learn how to use it properly has instilled within me a spark for more creative writing. I only wish I had brought to kill some time while we wait in line.

Hum-ho

I've been really upset with myself. And I've been upset with myself for a very stupid reason.

I've had World of Warcraft and a two-month subscription card for like the past 4 months, and I just can't get myself to install it, and I don't know why. Instead I end up watching Flight of the Conchords and typing up silly blog posts. Which I guess is better.

You know what kicks ass? Bioshock! Man that game is friggin' awesome! I suppose I'd much rather fight this:

then thousands this:

Thank god for my Xbox 360, if the only game system out there was the PS3, I would never-ever play games. I mean I rarely play games as it is, and as of right now the only system that has any titles worth playing is the 360.

Which reminds me, I have to fix my hacked router to connect to my Airport Extreme, I haven't been able to jump on Xbox Live in a about three months, which in turn is money down the drain, oh well. I really miss downloading demos, that's the best part of owning an Xbox is XBL.

Social networking at its finest.

I've been (sorta) using MySpace for a while, I mean I made a profile, I added some friends, accepted request from people I didn't know and kooky clothing stores. But most of all, I clicked reject and mark as spam more times that I care to remember.

So, I've ditched MySpace and moved to Facebook.

Hallelujah! What a difference. Facebook is clean, and stylish. MySpace is ugly, dirty and too busy looking. Facebook is only for people I know, my friends. MySpace is filled with spammers and businesses.

The only problem is that they don't have very friendly URL's. My profile is located at: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=782208956
