Last night was the draft for the Hacienda money league.





I'm so gonna win

I thought this was really cool. I didn't know Braun made anything else besides razors.

I fucking hate zombies on the internet. Along with vampires.

This morning I checked my internet after coming back from work and I find a link on facebook to cnn.com. Headlines seen at 5am: Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize, NASA bombed the moon, a gun toting soccer mom and husband shot dead, and a fugitive TV host has surrendered to the Brazilian government. At this point 2 things flashed through my head.

A. I'm already in bed and this is a dream.
B. This is a joke, zombies are gonna jump out of this page and literally scare the crap out of me.

I accept both as truth; I was reading a prank page in my dream. I muted my laptop and went to "bed". I wake up at noon, 6 hours later than I should've (I have to move my car off the street and into an all-day lot at sunrise), to find out that it wasn't a dream, Obama really won a Nobel Prize, NASA really DID bomb the moon, and that parking tickets in Santa Monica are $50.

Thanks to Tania, who got it from Vivian. Thank you Vivian.

Gran Turismo came out today on the PSP.

Gran Turismo gets me really pumped. I grew up on Gran Turismo. It's the reason I bought a Playstation. I remember spending my 8th grade summer holed up in the sweat locker that was my room playing Gran Turismo 2. My thumbs grew caluses . Gran Turismo 3 made me buy a Playstation 2. My thumbs were leather. Gran Turismo 4 made me a recluse summer 2005. That was roughly 5 years ago, and I've matured tremendously as a person; in all aspects.

WHERE IS GRAN TURISMO 5?!

Monday

Best thing all week. It's Monday, and I'm sure of it.


Watching it reminded me of this sticker. My dad bought it when we moved here. I didn't realize those funny waves spelled something til well into middle school.

FYI, Mickey's telling you it was 95 this afternoon.

Assistant Transportation Engineer Job Market...

So today I got an email about a job I applied for. Or so it seemed.

Hi Donson,

I am checking in on your employment situation. If you are in the Banking/Mortgage job market or if you are seeking career contacts in the Hacienda Heights area, please visit this site...

This employer-like email was obviously generated by information I submitted to one of the several job search engines by an algorithm someone was too lazy to program to sound more human-like. "this site" links to a linkedin-like job networking registration page.

How are there more job search/professional networking sites than there are jobs? I sign up for a new jobsearchnetworking site every time I apply to a job. I essentially have to submit 2 sets of information for every 1 job. Consequently the movie Brazil is not as far fetched as I thought. This is ridiculous and depressing.

I'm sick of this world we live in.

After declining ratings, Fox eventually decided to cancel the show, with one of their major reasons being to make room for the Family Guy spin-off series The Cleveland Show, which will be King of the Hill's ultimate replacement.
