Sudan or work?

College, Random Crap April 29th, 2006

My mom came up this week to visit.
They seem to be coming up quite a bit, wouldn’t you say?

Well, we were talking about sudan and what-not, and she wants to go to Sudan and wants me to come with her.
This summer actually, and I can stay there as long as I want. I love sudan and the people in it and I miss it a lot, however I really need to get a job in bellevue and if I were to get one I would have to keep it through summer so I’d actually have some money during school.
I’m really not all that positive as to what I’m going to do this summer and I need to decide quickly, help me out here guys!

I got a bike!

Random Crap April 27th, 2006


To give you more details about the event that took place last week:

My roommate David occasionally uses my bike when he needs to run errands and buy some things. I let him use it because he needed to go up to crossroads, I told him he could use it if he bought me some milk! He agreed and I lent him the bike and gave him the key to the bike lock.
He left at about 8:30. He came back at 10:30, with his brother. Turns out that when he went into bartell drugs to get some snacks and the milk, someone came up to my bike and clipped the bike lock and stole my bike. Nobody saw it and Bartell drugs doesn’t have security in the parking lot.

I called my parents shortly after posting this and just told them what happened. When my brother came up on sunday (Yay!) We went to seattle and I spent the night there, the next day we came back up to bellevue. He bought me a bike (He’s that awesome), it’s a full suspension bike, pretty nice for it’s bike. We pulled off all the decals, because it just looked really cheesy with all of them, so it’s a clean bike, aluminum frame, and looking spiffy as heck.
I bought 50 bucks of gear for me and my bike, gloves, a seat, a kick-ass bike lock. It’s one of those U-locks and it comes with a warranty that states if the bike lock fails or is broken, they will reimburse me for the lock and the bike! So if my bike is stolen, I’ll at least know that I get all my money back!

Movie editing!

Geekin' out April 27th, 2006

I met with Diane Wilson Last week and got all the footage for Worst Job. When we were talking about how she captured it, I wasn’t very pleased. I had told her to use time codes, so for the shoot that I went to, I had them write down time codes for every take, so that way when she captured it all she’d just use time codes to do it all.
Well, it turned out that they didn’t use time codes at all for all the other shoots. I was a little unhappy about this, but that’s not the best part! When she captured it, she just set it to scene detect and let it run. The worst way to capture footage.
So now I’m having to go through all the clips and assemble it into timelines of the scenes themselves and rename it all in premiere.
It’s not the most entertaining thing to do. I wish I had a DV camera, then she wouldn’t have had to do that. She burned them all to DVD’s and I’m currently copying them all over with ice mirror, which will probably take awhile judging by how long it takes per dvd (about 30-40 minutes) and I’ve got about 12 of them to do.
I’ve got about 3 or 4 weeks to do this, so I shouldn’t need to worry too much about this film.
And I may be getting another job, but this one will be paying, so I’ll actually be getting something out of this aside from experience. I’m just glad I grabbed those other hard drives when I was in pullman.

No more, no less

College, Random Crap April 16th, 2006

I was making some eggs and reached into my cabinet to grab some salt and noticed something. my sugar shaker was empty, along with me 1/4 lb bag of sugar. I haven’t used sugar in about 2 months, and the bag was almost full and the shaker was full.
I then realized that he makes coffee every morning…..fucking roommate used all my sugar.

I wrote a note and stuck it inside the cabinet so next time he reaches in there for something of mine, he’ll see it.
“if you feel the need to use something that belongs to another person, ask to use it before you use it. Thank you. PS you owe me a bag of sugar, no more no less”
this is the second time he’s done this. first time was when i came back from spring break “Oh hey, I used some of your oatmeal”
There were 2 packets left out of a 6 packet box. And that was an unopened box. Now at the time I was a little disgruntled by this. But I just figured it was a one time thing.
Wrong.
Last week at night I had a hungering for oatmeal, so I went into the kitchen to get those last 2 packets and eat them.
Lo’ and behold, roommate was eating those 2 packets! He was surprised to see me and started to say that he didn’t think I would be awake so he didn’t want to ask.
WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU EATING IT THEN?
I was really pissed at this moment, but I didn’t want to create any fall-out so I told him he owed me oatmeal.
He bought a large box and gave me 5 packets.

fucking cheap ass roommate.

I’ve got this eve growing feeling that I won’t ever be able to make friends around here. I’m hoping that come tuesday, when my english course starts, I’ll be able to make some friends.
BCC doesn’t appear to be the most sociable of places, and they don’t do that great a job at advertising crap. Maybe it’s just me. But at WSU they had a really strong student body, with tabling going on everywhere. I walk around BCC and see none. Just billboard everywhere with posters on them that are rarely looked at. the C building, which is the student union building, is always crowded. I was speaking with someone in a class of mine about it. Turns out that the library is currently being renovated, so they’ve turned the student lounge into the library, which is why it’s always crowded over there.
I’m hoping that they will finish with the damn library, he tells me that they’ve always been working on some sort of remodeling project at BCC.
The campus layout isn’t that bad. It’s just N building, which contains all the computer labs, is on the far end of the campus instead of near the middle.
I think it’s also fault to my lack of socialness on campus. In my classes I’m perfectly fine. However last week was a testament to how sociable I am. Since my day class starts next week, last week consisted of me just sitting at home when not in class, which was on tuesday and thursday evenings. Friday and saturday were the only days when i really got to see people. Yesterday I got there at 10 and stayed till 3pm. I slept over at brandons house and I got incredibly jealous of him, he’s now running 1TB (1,000GB) in his desktop computer. I hung out and did random crap. We went up to lab at 7am, he was going to go buy a bunch of wood for his project, tom, the lead tech was in their group. he let me into the lab and I just worked on the gateways.
I got to inventory all 22 of them and make labels for them. After that we did a load test of the gateways by copying the windows 98se installation folder to each of them, at the same time. took about 13 minutes. but setting it up took about 5 hours. It would have gone faster except It was just me setting them up.
That’s pretty much been the highlight of my entire week. Tomorrow I’m going to have dinner with Jamie, she’s one of the people in my group, she invited us all over to have dinner with her tomorrow night. Kay, the other guy in my group is going to give me a ride to his place.
Well, I’m going to get some food. I’m hungry!
