Three Hundred Forty-Third EntryAmy and I and six of our closest bestest friends went out for froyo at Yogofina and it was hella good. How good...HELLA GOOD!!They have a huge wall of toppings and about twelve different yogurt flavors to choose from. I had strawberry and blueberry yogurt with fresh blueberries, sliced almonds and mini fudge stripe cookies as toppings. It was delicious.I made a

Three Hundred Forty-Second EntryWell, it's finally happened. I got a damn job.And not just any job. I will be the newest member of the Lea & Braze Engineering staff. Sound familiar? It should. That's because that is the place I left to go work in the solar industry. They have had a huge back log of work building up in the last few months. And since there are only 24 hours in a day, they decided

Three Hundred Forty-First EntryWell, the best laid plans...I went to St. Leanders yesterday to go to mass at 7am. I walked into the church, and they do the weekday masses at the very back of the church! There are like 30 seats and about 10 people at the mass. I immediately got self-conscious and left the church. With just 10 people in the mass, everyone would be able to hear me NOT praying, NOT

Three Hundred Fortieth EntryIt's been a while since I've updated.No new news on the job front. I had a couple of interviews, but they were a no-go. There are so few jobs available. In fact, there are fewer now than there were when I was first laid off. But there are still a few, and I'll keep applying.I had a presentation in my French class two weeks ago. I was so nervous and was working on it up

Three Hundred Thirty-Ninth EntryToday is September 15, 2009. Not a particularly memorable date. September 15, 2008, one year ago today, two major things happened that have had a profound effect on the way my life is today. A year ago today, I accepted a job with OptiSolar, Inc. a promising start-up solar energy company. A year ago today, my parents separated.It has been a very tough year, and

Three Hundred Thirty-Eighth EntryYesterday I attempted the coq au vin again. It was better. More salt this time, the process was much smoother and everything just gelled. The leftovers were better than the original. Mmmm... I made the same tarts again and they were just a good as the first time! I finished off the extra puff pastry by baking it by itself, and filling it with a mascarpone, sugar

Three Hundred Thirty-Sixth EntryIt has been a fun month since my last blog. I've gotten into the habit of writing down things I want to blog so I don't forget. This is going to be a long one...that's what she said.....hehehehe.The six of us (Louis, Jen, Jen, Carolyn, Amy and I) pulled off the impossible and surprised Lisa in Michigan!

Three Hundred Thirty-Fifth EntryI got a rejection email from the City of Palo Alto yesterday for one of the three positions I applied for. The rejection was for the position I was least qualified for, so that's almost OK...it's still a rejection :(I got my unemployment check today in the mail. Yay!!! So...I went downtown to the Wamu on Parrott to deposit my check. Not a big deal...it's only 5

Three Hundred Thirty-Fourth EntryQuick post...Last night I went to Safeway in CV where Amy works. Their liquor license has been suspended for 45 days for selling alcohol to a minor. It was weird seeing all the empty beer coolers and wine and liquor shelves... anyway.I picked up a few things, and I proceed to the checkout line, where I see this weeks OK! magazine with Michael Jackson's and "The

Three Hundred Thirty-Third EntryMichael Jackson died. It was sad. I'll never forget where I was when I heard. I was in my kitchen, preparing stuffed onions for dinner. So sad.I watched the entire memorial yesterday. It was beautiful, but not without it's flaws. Good Things: - I started to tear when his daughter got up to speak. I was impressed with the little girls composure through out the

Three Hundred Thirty-Second EntryI busted out and dusted off my pottery wheel last week. Yes, I have a pottery wheel. My aunt gave it to me quite a few years ago, and I always just assumed it didn't work and would need a little fixin'. Well, the pedal doesn't function quite right, one of the bat pins is broken (I had to break it to remove it!), and the splash pan doesn't clip anywhere and only

Three Hundred Thirty-First EntryI never watch basketball. I'm not a huge fan. But the Lakers/Magic game last night was about the most exciting basketball game I've ever seen. I didn't even watch the whole game! I saw the last 5 minutes of the 4th quarter and overtime. It was very exciting!Starsky and Hutch are on KOFY right now. I haven't seen this show in a very long time. After S&H is The

Three Hundred Thirtieth EntryDid you know that Netflix has a limit on how many movies you can queue? 500. Yup. I found that out the other day when I was loading up my queue with TV series, and organizing them for maximum movie enjoyment. I am burning through them a lot faster now, so I'll be down to zero in about 2.5 years!I'm trying not to get addicted to ebay. Louis and Jen gave me an ebay gift

Three Hundred Twenty-Ninth EntryI love this cool weather. I wish it would last all summer. I'd be pretty happy if it was 60 degrees all day, every day throughout the year.Had my birthday since my last post. Turned 31. It feels fine. Not much different than 30. Luncheon at Louis and Jen's was really a lot of fun! Good food, very fun games. Family Feud complete with sound effects! Catchphrase

Three Hundred Twenty-Eighth EntryI am at home, done being sick.The TV is off and the fan is on. It's warm in my house. Not a particularly warm day outside, but still warm in the house.I bought a new DVD player for when I'm on the treadmill. I watched two and a half episodes of Arrested Development this morning. I've taken to stretching before walking and it works better. I don't know why I hadn't

Three Hundred Twenty-Seventh EntryI'm sick. I've got the swine cold...Another lengthy pause between blogs. That just makes them all that more special!!Biggest development since last blog is that I've quit smoking. I just decided that last Monday, April 27th, was it. I did it cold turkey. The first three days were the worst. I had always guessed that smoking curbs the appetite, but this was proof

Three Hundred Twenty-Fifth EntryToday was a not that boring day. It started off a little boring, but picked up dramatically after about noon.I met up with ex-Lea & Brazers again for lunch today. Had a tuna salad sandwich from Eden Cafe in Hayward. I've always liked that place. Found out lots of old company gossip, including discovering that Karma actually does exist.

Three Hundred Twenty-Fourth EntryToday was even boringer than yesterday, save for several highlights. And now the highlights of my day, in chronological order...One: I went on a shopping spree at Amazon.com. Well, not exactly a spending spree...I just finally decided to spend a gift card I received for my birthday last year! Thank you Louis and Jen!! I bought two movies and eight books! They are

Three Hundred Twenty-Third EntryI lied. There are lots of interesting things on TV during the day! I just wasn't surfing the right channels...I'm watching Jerry Springer, and guess what?? They brought back all the fighting!!! No holds barred! It used to be like this, then they decided to cool the fighting down. But it's back! They just need to uncensor everything...Love it, love it, love it!

Three Hundred Twenty-Second EntryI finished updating my resume yesterday and sent it out to some old coworkers for review. I kept it to one page, holding to my rule of one page for the first ten years of a career and anything goes after. I also sort of perused the net for employment only to find a few jobs that require twice as much experience as I have. I didn't spend too long doing that

Three Hundred Twenty-First EntryA lot has happened since I've last posted.In an environmentally responsible move, I quit my job at Lea & Braze Engineering, and accepted a position at OptiSolar Inc. as a Civil Engineer. At OptiSolar, I performed much of the same tasks I did at the last couple of jobs, except this time for solar power plants. It was a nice change from working on the greed and

Three Hundred Twentieth EntryIs it bad that I am completely fascinated by the bridge collapse in Minneapolis? It's sad, but the only time my profession makes the news is when there is a disaster like this. Hence my fascination. They even had a professor from SF State CE department speaking on MSNBC. She gave the typical gloom and doom speech given when any engineer talks about our nations

Three Hundred Nineteenth EntryIt's been a long time. Not a record, but still a long time.I've just finished reading everyones blogs. Sounds like everyone is chugging along in life. Sounds about right.I had a weird dream about work last night. I haven't dreamt about work since the last time I was really busy at work.

Three Hundred Seventeenth EntryIt has been nearly 6 months since my last blog entry. This is probably the first time I've logged onto blogger in that time. Did google buy blogger.com? I think they are slowly taking over the world.To all of you that have wondered what happened to me (all 2 of you know who you are), nothing has happened to me.

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.

Three Hundred Twelfth EntryWell another year has passed. A lot has changed. A lot has stayed the same.2006 will bring about much change.

Three Hundred Ninth EntryTV rundown:Sunday nights: Extreme Home Makeover on ABC at 8 p.m. I like to watch them do something in a week that would normally take months to do. Plus, I get ideas for my own house, should I ever buy one.Backup: Cold Case on CBS, then West Wing on NBC.Desperate Housewives on ABC at 9 p.m. I know, I know. Such a girl show. But it is full of very interesting secrets. And

Three Hundred Eighth EntryHad my interview at Caltrans in Oakland today. I was very good and restrained myself from discussing how ignorant and inefficient they are. It was a good interview. The three panelists were nice and asked interesting problem solving questions. For example: Imagine a roadway has a congestion problem(not that hard in the Bay Area). What factors contribute to the congestion

Three Hundred Sixth EntrySo...I accepted the BKF (Burger King Fries) job in Redwood City, starting on Oct. 24th. I almost didn't. I got a call on Tuesday from Caltrans in Oakland saying they were interested in an interview. They wanted me to fax in a copy of my Diploma and EIT Cert. I did, still waiting for a call back. A Caltrans job would 100% for sure secure me about 5k more than BKF. Plus the

Two Hundred Ninety-Ninth EntryAll weekend I was busy. I hate being busy doing crap I don't want to do. I wanted to fill out applications, redo my resume and clean my room.

Two Hundred Ninety-Eighth EntryI haven't blogged in a great while.I just finished watching two very excellent movies. First was "Talk to Her". Very good movie. I had seen another movie by the same director, "All About My Mother", which was excellent. "Talk to Her" was a more serious movie, but very good. The second one I saw was one of the best movies I've seen all year. "Amelie" is such an

Two Hundred Ninety-Third EntryI can't sleep. I've been listening to the new Jamiroquai CD all night and it is just amazing. Easily one of their best albums. Chatter on the forums indicate a possible US tour in early 2006. I will so be there even if I have to quit my job or something. Must remember to buy US release of CD to help the cause."Dynamite", "Feels Just Like It Should", "Don't Give Hate

I checked the FAQ's and the bastard music industry (record companies and such) do not want music not produced or

Two Hundred Seventy-Fourth EntryIt's been a while.Last Saturday I watched "Sideways". It is a very very good and funny movie. The sex parts and the violent golf scene are the best. It was fun to watch the movie and be able to say that I used to live in that area. It makes me want to move back there.Last Tuesday I watched "The Aviator". It is a very very good movie. I was truly impressed with it.

Two Hundred Seventy-Third Entry Overwhelmed is the only word to describe how I feel today, and have felt all week. It all started on Friday... Paula asked me to babysit for her Friday night. She had to work until 8:30, and afterwards was going to go out with some work friends. I worked at A's the night before, and did not get much sleep that night, nor the whole week for that matter. The last

Two Hundred Seventy-Second Entry I'm at work again, studying. I got here at about 7:30 this morning. I am dead tired. I worked til 11 last night. My body just aches. Sacramento on Thursday was a big success. DSA signed off on my plans. Excellent. I've started thinking about a vacate in May. Not a big flying one, just a boring stay at home or go up to the Bay vacate. I don't think I've ever

Two Hundred Seventy-First Entry I am currently in my office at work digesting my Panda Express lunch. Why on a Saturday you ask? I am studying for my exam with Kuna (a coworker). He wants to meet up to study on a regular basis, and today is the first day of that studying. We are studying for different exams, but it helps to have someone to help you not procrastinate. We couldn't think of a

Two Hundred Seventieth Entry I didn't do squat this weekend. I worked at Albertsons, entertained my parents and went to my grandparents 60th anniversary party. It was fun hanging out with all my family. Oh yeah, I watched Paparazzi. Don't waste your time. I watched Meet the Parents on USA. It was really funny, but probably even more so without all the censoring and commercials. Tuesday,

Two Hundred Sixty-Ninth Entry I would like to give a shout out to Rouja. I am drunk. Drunk is good. As of last week, there was only one person that I didn't get along with at Albertsons. His name is Chad. Chad is an extremely lazy 16 year old that is only working because his parents are forcing him too. Not that he needs to, his parents are filthy rich. Anyway... Last Wednesday I decided that

Two Hundred Sixty-Eighth Entry I was loaned a DVD of a christian comedian called Brad Stein about three weeks ago. I have yet to see it. Every day I am reminded by Blas(the office religious zealot) to watch it. I really have no desire to watch it, but will do so because I told him I would. He probably thinks that by watching it I'll probably start rollin' around on the ground and speaking in

Two Hundred Sixty-Sixth Entry I'm allergic to penicillin. I was red and itchy for two days. So now I'm allergic to two things: Cats and penicillin. Keepin' count? My friendster count is now up to 5. Wow. I'm moving up in the world. My latest Friendster is Sean. Remember? Sean Tellier? It has a long old time since I heard that name. Very good hearing from him. Jen called earlier. Great talking

Two Hundred Sixty-Third Entry Bless me, for I have sinned. It has been over a week since my last entry. I just placed my lunch order in. Tuna salad sandwich with lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, onions and provolone on wheat. Port of Subs sucks, but there's no changing Port of Subs Tuesdays. Louis was here this past weekend. It was good to see him. Last night at Albertson's was a mess. It was the

Two Hundred Sixty-Second Entry I got an email from friendster today and it was Lynnett Santos saying hi. I haven't talked to her in over 8 years. "Friendster, bringing old friends together." I then went through and added a little something special to my three friends' friendster pages. Awww. I was a little jealous of my three friendster friends' dozens of friendster friends, but then I

Two Hundred Sixtieth Entry I'm sick. I'm sick, I'm sick, I'm sick. Disease is never fun. Except for when you get to stay home and watch TV all day: 6:40:00am - Awoke to the TV and clock radio going off. 6:40:15am - Hit the snooze on the clock radio, watched a story on the news about some plane crash. 6:45:00am - Awoke to the clock radio going off, with the TV still on. 6:45:10am - Hit the

Two Hundred Fifty-Ninth Entry Red Sox win the pennant! Red Sox win the pennant! I wouldn't be happier if I won the lottery. That's a lie. Last night I closed at Albertson's. I am very tired today.

Two Hundred Fifty-Seventh Entry Tomorrow, I am stepping outside the safe and sheltered confines of my office and am going to give a 20 minute presentation to the Tulare County Board of Supervisors. I guess, not so much give the presentation, as be the technician for the presentation. Well, not so much be the technician, as the button pusher for the Power Point portion of the presentation. For

Two Hundred Fifty-Sixth Entry It's raining. I stood in the dark in my backyard for 10 minutes just feeling the rain. Letting it soak me. I opened the window in my bedroom so I can fall asleep to the sound of the rain. I love the rain. There is just something relaxing and almost cathartic about the rain. "It's raining. I'm standing in the rain. I'm getting wet." I forgot about work tomorrow,

Two Hundred Fifty-Fourth Entry The A's were just denied a chance at the playoffs. The Giants are most likely eliminated too. The Raiders and Niners suck, the Warriors suck, the Sharks suck. Bay Area sports just ain't what it used to be. I guess now that I officially live in Southern California I can root for the Dodgers and Angels, Chargers and Ducks, Lakers and Clippers. But that's no fun. Go

Two Hundred Fifty-Third Entry To say that I have been busy and tired the past week is a huge understatement. I have been working a lot at Albertson's in my inaugural week. It is a very tiring job, but very fun. The people I work with are great...a sarcastic and cynical Tulare City Council candidate, a very nice woman from the Azores, a perverted ex-con, a woman who can "suck a golf ball through

Two Hundred Fifty-Second Entry I peed in a cup today....I had an interview at Albertson's today. It went well. Looks like the job is flexible enough to form itself around my County job. I just have to call back on Friday to talk with the manager again. I'm looking forward to the opportunity to working at Albertson's. I got my promotion. Yay! $120 more bucks a month! I'm tired.

Two Hundred Fifty-First Entry Since my last entry, I have gone through a lot. If anyone has noticed me acting a little odd or distant recently, I apologize. I am almost 100% certain that by this time next year I will be somewhere else. I really don't care where it is. I can't live and work here past that. I have been seriously reevaluating my career path and continue to be disappointed with it.

Two Hundred Fiftieth Entry I have mixed feelings about this past weekend. I'm glad I got to spend a lot of down time with my family. I'm glad I got to spend some alone time with Amy. I'm not glad I didn't get to see Louis and Jen. I'm not glad I had to pay my car insurance. See, mixed feelings. A big shout out to my peeps in the HI! Aloha wahines!!

Two Hundred Forty-Ninth Entry I am making quite a bit of headway on my website. Uploading photos that is. Just got back from watching "The Bourne Supremacy" with Paula and Calvin. Awesome movie! Xlent and plentiful car chases! It makes me want to go back to Berlin. And learn German. I hope they make "The Bourne Ultimatum". Must read them all.

Two Hundred Forty-Eighth Entry This past weekend was fun. Amy was here. We did a lot of stuff. We watched TV, watched "The Shining" and "The Others", watched some more TV, nearly got arrested for eating Cold Stone out by the airport, went to my Grandma's house a lot, went to a bullfight on Monday night, ate tons of food(not literally, figuratively), slept very little, and talked.

Two Hundred Forty-Sixth Entry I am in Palm Desert, California and having a good time. I was informed yesterday at 8am that I needed to go home right away and pack for a three day conference that my boss, Marcia couldn't go to at the last minute. I was scrambling all over the place. I needed to: go to the bank, pay bills, take care of my grandma's meds, find someone to take care of my grandma's

Two Hundred Forty-Fourth Entry This weekend was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed having Hernani stay at my house. We visited a lot of family, and that's always fun. What I enjoyed the most was talking with him. He really is a very interesting person with even more interesting ideas. We were up until 5am yesterday sitting outside drinking Jager and Port just talking. I've never done that before.
