Three Hundred Fifteenth Entry

It's over.

It's over. Yes, at long last the wait for a new blog is over. ;)

I went to sleep at 7 tonight and awoke at 11:30. Now I can't get back to sleep. Very long and stressful(especially today) week. I've started working at a new company called Lea & Braze Engineering. I've been there about a month. I'm doing pretty well, or so I'm told. It's kinda not that hard. Just a lot of not hard stuff to do. And I mean a lot. This place is better than BKF in that I'm not being micromanaged. I'm more responsible for my designs, which is both a good and bad thing. Oh well. Work is good.

Everybody check out my myspace page. If you do a search for my name you should be able to find me. But then again, the myspace search thing really sucks. Sorry Tom! Myspace is good.

A lot of stuff has happened since my last blog. The biggest thing is probably that my grandmother died in August. It was very tough. I was the good grandson and with Hernani and Marcia's help planned the whole funeral service, as well as the arrangements to ship her to Portugal for burial. It was hard having to deal with all of that stuff. I still haven't said goodbye yet. She's still around. It's not real to me. Last time I was in Hollister, I felt like she would be back. It's incredibly unusual to think that she won't be in her chair anymore. I miss her.

Another big thing is the job change. I got tired of the commute. Simple as that. I am doing very nearly the exact same work, but more responsibility. Did I mention that already?? Yes I did. I apologize for the repeat info. This company is pretty laid back. They work hard, but they play just as hard. Today, for example, everyone in the office was involved in a rubber band war. Even the Owner of the company got into it. Nobody cared. It was interesting.

Lost starts next week. Stoked about that. Nip/Tuck has been added to my weekly television viewing schedule. It's really good. I think Grey's Anatomy is going to make the cut into my TV week, as is Six Degrees. And I need to check out Heroes. Peeps at work talk about it. This Sunday I'm going to give Desperate Housewives another shot and check out Brothers and Sisters after it. Other shows I may try out: Studio 60, The Class, The New Adventures of Old Christine, The Nine, Ugly Betty(I thought the original telenovela was pretty funny, what I saw of it anyway). TV is good.

I half-flaked on Amy tonight. I was supposed to call her when we were done with dinner, but as I wrote above, I fell asleep. Not on purpose. I was laying down in bed watching "I love the 80's, STRIKES BACK!!!" and just fell asleep. Total accident. It doesn't matter. I'll get the same cold passive-aggresive reactions we've all grown to love from her in response to anything I tell her tomorrow. I'll get the I don't see you enough comment despite the fact we've spent a healthy chunk of the week together. I'll get the 'woe is me', my life sucks speech. Hopefully, if you read this blog Amy, we can skip all of this crap tomorrow and just jump back into where we left off at. I already know I was a bad boy. I already feel like crap after the week I've had. I've just relived the experience so you don't have to expend the energy to make me feel bad tomorrow. K?

A noose and a strong branch would be my best friend right about now.
