I can somehow always tell when something is smelling funny around where I work or play, or stay. Nothing seems to be going right of lately, but then I haven't been trying as hard as I should be. I know I should be looking at getting an apartment in Portland, but it all a matter of looking and that's hard to do from here, in CA. I have been offered the time though to stay for a week or so there with a friend, but I don't know how well that would work out, if I had no job prospect there.
Dunno if you've been paying attention, baby, but these times being what they are, being jobless right now is not a happy place to be in. The market for new meat in any of the industries I know are barren, and there's really nothing any one of us can do about it, until the bombs start. Then maybe we'll rally and business will pick up.
I've been wanting to get more training in IT, and learn some programming, but I've not found the time. I work all night.. argh.. when is there time for school.
I hate the trap the system creates with its need for money. Everything costs so much money. Cars are such pits of loot. They don't burn clean, they pollute and they cost a crapload to maintain and to top it all off, they don't even fly. They are supposed to fly by now!

In other news, I bought a power supply for the 2.4 gigahertz chip and motherboard that have been sitting on a shelf in the package for about ... 4 months. Replacing the 500 megahertz chip and board that it came on, so the lil' bro n sis can have it for their machine. heh...
I sent payment yesterday, so soon it shall be here.
I can't believe I let that board sit for so long, I have all the pieces I needed to make this awesome setup and I let it languish forever because I didn't have the power to run it. duh.
*sigh* I wish I had more of a social base. I mean, I do have quite a big one, but for the most part I have one friend that I hang out with all the time.
I guess that's okay. But it just seems like, I dunno.. I should be out more.
I don't think I'm in a very good mood today. I want to get out of this house and go do something, but once again, I'm broke from paying all my stupid bills. I don't have much gas and gas prices just shot through the roof.
California, I love you but you cost me so much.
Maybe I'll come back when I'm a millionaire.
