Hola Jittem! No worries mate on the those tracks. We all had a time were we didn't know squat about B-sides, Battle Weapons, etc.

As for you 'DR AWESOME', glad your LSAT is history and your feeling much better right now!

Halloween is still in the works for me, but got some good days heading my way though. I got my girlfriend and the family heading out to Disneyland this Sunday and got a Raveonettes show in early November.

I'm still busy as a bee @ work.

Welcome to the 'Brotherhood' Jonson!

Welcome Johnson!

i also discovered the diamond sky the other day when i found the other tracks. It blew me away with the transfer into a tangent of surrender. Perfect!

@inchem - All is well it seems! although who are the Raveonettes? interesting name :P.

As for me, that girl I've been seeing is coming over to mine to watch American Beauty. ><

...Jonson even.

I <3 Diamond Sky.

Uggh, a little hung over and sleep deprived after a good friend crashed at my place last night with another friend of his. He's one of my oldest friends and he has some great energy, but damn, I definitely didn't want to get drunk on a Tuesday night... :-(

I gotta wait till Friday for my next trip to the Alehouse. It's a little good place in Santa Monica for some good Lager. I know how you feel Poot. Drinking is a gift ( The drunk part) and a curse (The feeling you get the next morning part)

Hey Jittem, see for yourself

I discovered them earlier this year and can't wait to see them.

Hi! Everyone! :)

I don't know why I can not log in these days, but, fortunately, I could log in now.

I just gave a full listen to Nude Night! It's Great! I like it! 8)

Skey, I've been meaning to tell you...."Hola! I'm from China~" is the best signature ever.

I did the dumbest fricken thing yesterday. I was cleaning house. And because I am anal retentive when it comes to cleaning house, I started fussing around with the area rug that's under our coffee tables (there were some kibbles/cracker bits/stuff that annoys whirly) that I couldn't quite get with a vacuum cleaner so I decided to move the rug so I could dislodge the bits. Doing this, I had to lift up our couch a bit to pull just enough of the area rug out to clean what needed to be cleaned. OK, no problem. I've done this a million times before and lifting up a steel framed couch made of leather and down is no sweat because I'm strong like bull, right? Wrong! I guess not anymore! So anyway I'm squatted down lifting up one side of the couch, my ass in the air and that's when I felt my right sciatica pinch and the next thing I knew I was on the couch trying not to pass out. Argh! So now I can't walk, I'm stuck on my sofa, I can't find a comfortable position. Blah. Feeling like a very old woman today but hopefully will feel more my age tomorrow and in the coming days. I guess the moral of this story is, get a maid.

That sucks that your trapped on your couch Whirls. Try putting some pillows under your knees if it helps and get some 'Icy Hot' as well. It's going to a bitch if you try showering but hopefully you won't be confined to your couch for more than one day cause you'll be kicking up some major stink and sweat. ;-)

That sucks, whirly. What a drag it is getting old....

I'm there with you. Uh, not on the couch, I mean discovering my OCD needs to take it easy on my body as time goes by.

Hope you feel better. Besides, you're not old. Look at anyone else around you that is is in your age range. I'm relatively certain that you maintain a wise perspective despite feeling and looking about 10 years younger than your peers. I know I do.

Aw, Whirls. :-(

If it's any consolation to you, I just got laid off.

What???

Dude, Pooter.

Damn man. I'm SO sorry to hear...

Mmmboy... yeah, I get to dust off the ol' resume and start looking for work again. WOOHOO!

The good news is that if I find a job in the next month, I basically will have gotten a whole bunch of money which I didn't expect. :D

I have a good feeling about the new year. A good feeling, indeed.

Right on - you always have a positive attitude. I'm sure you will find a new job given your experience. In the meantime you get to develop reverse sleeping patterns!!

'Pooter

I don't want to sound corny but I'll take the risk in case it helps.

Have you heard of LinkedIn? It is like the Facebook for professionals. If you're updating the resume and don't have a LinkedIn page, you might consider it.

This might be common knowledge and you're possibly rolling your eyes with a big "Duh", and if so, it's all good. I was laid off about a half a year ago and several potential employers and recruiters asked me for my LinkedIn info. In addition to my resume I had to scramble and get a page together. Things worked out in the end, but I had no idea about the professional end of social networking.

Again, not sure if it helps, but I dig your positive energy and want to do my part in the Brotherhood. Good luck and enjoy the time off.

I do know about LinkedIn, and it's not a bad suggestion. I'll have to update my page.

::sigh::

Such a bother.

But I'm continuing with my good feeling. Gotta keep my spirits up, my optimism high, and a smile on my face which says, "Yeah, I know, life is fucking me in the ass right now. But sometimes you're the statue, and then other times you're the pigeon. Right now I'm the statue, but my wings are beginning to grow, my friend."

Then I'll cordially host a cocktail party.

@Whirly - YOUCH!!!! someones going to be a couch potato for a bit :P

@Pooter - brutal news. But hold tight, things will work out. Bring out the cocktails! :D

as for my general recent bullshit...

i am in quite a positive mood at the moment. Things are going smoothly with my girl. 4 weeks of college left.

and last but not least... In the last week i managed to organise to get Myagi to come to Canberra during his Australian tour. Lol i'll be picking him up from the airport and hanging with him before hand etc. Its funny because i did not plan to get this done, it was merely a spontaneous act. This is the first time ive ever done something like this so im quite excited. I'll be letting you guys know how the gig turns out :D

We are having a sports competition now! :)

@ Poot

Here's my take on life when its cruel! It's time to start slapping life in the face like a 'drunk bitch in a club who probably blows random men in the bathroom while she's trying to hang on to you because she's to wasted to stand up and talks stupid in front of your friends while begging you if she can borrow a five dollar bill to get some food at the taco truck parked outside'!

Always the positive figure aren't you! Wish you success in your job hunt.

@Jittem

Glad your school term is coming to a close and getting ready for the holidays. AND YOU GOT MYAGI! I'm impressed!

@Skey..Did I hear sports! We just got our rings!

Were 1-0 btw. http://image3.examin.../laker_ring.jpg

I'm having a regional vice president (one of our big cheeses) of our company coming over to my job to check on things. All of our managers are scheduled to be there and there totally freakin' out! I'm laughing because I set my set my schedule a week earlier to have a personal day off..which is today! Ha!

I also turned my cellphone off. Double He He!

For breakfast..3 eggs, 2 waffles, toast, and orange juice. Outside it's 69 degrees. Time to put on the Sweaters.
