grammer
Posted by Donson at 4:22 PM 4 commentsI blame my failure at language on my career choice; engineers don't need to learn how to write. Ha! Consequently, I say aloud in my head and sometimes mouth the sequence of words I am currently typing. If it sounds ok, then it's totally good. What scares me is that this work ends up on published reports that can be brought in as evidence in a court of law. Yup.

solar power
Posted by Donson at 5:20 PM 3 commentsYou might take the sun for granted, especially if you're still in school, unemployed, or have the luxury of a window wherever you work. Not me. My cubicle has walls on 3 sides each 5 feet tall. Time comes here to die. Even my windows toolbar clock hasn't adjusted yet for daylight savings. (I can't change it by the way, it keeps changing back to its own time until the network administrator changes it.) From October til now, the sun has been setting about an hour before I get off of work, so by the time I get into my car it's pitch black. I hate darkness, sunsets, clouds, and shade. I love summers, July, 95 degree days, and nightlights. My mood is greatly affected by the sun, and the amount of sunlight I get. If you've talked to me in the last 6 months, you know what I'm talking about, I've been a miserable wreck.
Yesterday was the first time since October when there was still sunlight when I get off of work. Hallelujah.

tinted windows
Posted by Donson at 8:35 AM 1 commentsIf you're a celebrity or a head of state I can understand that some people wish you harm and your privacy in transit is important, but for everyday people, is it necessary? I have almost 2 reasons to despise them.
1. It's ugly.
2. When everybody has tinted windows at in intersection or on a stretch of freeway, it feels like there's noone around. Congratulations on the window tint, you drive in a black box. What if I need to wave to the driver next to me or suggest to them they're doing a terrible job at driving? They'll never know, cause they essentially have blinders on. Don't you want to see what sunlight looks like? Aren't you deprived of outside sunlight like everyone else? Do you want to feel like you're still in the room you just left, or the room you're driving to?
I want to feel like I'm outside. I don't want to be reminded that I'm inside of a 1.5 ton metal box. I like opening the windows and feeling the wind and smelling the stench of skunk.

weekend wrap up
Posted by Donson at 10:32 AM 4 commentsFriday: The weather was amazing, Hacienda Heights is beautiful, I can see Catalina from the Heights part of Hacienda.
Dollhouse on Fox is ok. Just ok to pretty good. It's one of those things where you want to like it, but you know you're not being totally objective.
Saturday: The weather was amazing, I love Chinese food, hot weather and warm cars. The church basketball team I play on is 0-7. I play power forward sometimes. We're that short.
Sunday: GUN FEVER.
Tim is good. He's gonna kill us all one day with a revolver.
Totally took out his right arm. Totally.
