Ok, so I've been absent for a while now... And with good reasons...
1. I'm working again. I'm back at Ford, working as the cleaning crew. Basically, I get paid a very nice sum of money to come in late at night and listen to psy-trance on the P.A. system while emptying trash cans, sweeping and vacuuming. In other words, I do the same thing I did at Hastings, only no customers, no co-workers and I get paid 4 times as much. Yeah, I enjoy it. Plus I get to work from midnight to 3am (or whenever), and those are exactly the hours I'm almost always awake. Perfect.
2. I no longer have internet at home. I'm actually at Ford right now. I've determined that my computer is simply not safe with all of the crap floating around on the internet these days, so I'm just going to use work computers for things like e-mail and LJ updates, and keep my home computer offline. This is especially important since my home computer is going to be the heart of my recording studio. I need to keep it as healthy as possible. I've already had to wipe everything out and run recovery on it several times over the last year. And I'm getting damn tired of doing that.
3. And of course, Halo 2 is out now. At Midnight on Monday, November 8th, I was standing in line at Hastings, waiting to pick up my limited edition copy of Halo 2. Chances are, if I'm not at work or asleep, I'm playing Halo 2. I've already beaten the single player campaigin and begun to memorize the multiplayer maps for the long nights of 4v4 system link at Randy's apartment. And as if that weren't enough, I got a two month free subscription to XBOX Live, which is the other reason I'm not online at home. The DSL modem is now hooked up to my xbox and I've been whooping other peoples asses all over the country in the wee hours of the morning. The new picture that is accompanying my update and LJ is my character logo on Halo 2. So if you ever see anyone playing Halo 2 online, and they happen to be getting romped on by someone named smoghog2 with this logo (and they will be) you'll know to smile and make fun of them, as I probably am too at that particular moment.
That is all.
