Busy Weekend

2008-10-06T15:49:56Z

Wow, time is really flying. I am definitely not a fan of it either. I remember back in grade school where the days would just drag on forever and I would always wish for them to go so much faster, terrible idea! Now I barely have time to do anything and the days are really zipping by. I mean I feel like it was just spring and now it's already mid-fall. It sucks.

Anyways, I finally went riding the other night. I plan on going tonight again today. I definitely had a good time. I love being up there on the top of a horse. It's magical.

Yesterday was the horse "stuff" auction. I ended up getting 2 blankets, a pair of gloves, a brush and some lead ropes. emilie and I were going to buy 2 helmets but some lady bid $55 and we bid $50...so instead of them making $100 they made $55 haha, tards. Got to see the horse too so that was nice, picked a bunch of burs out of his tail...

I played some COD4 yesterday also, fun times, although I got pissed and ended up leaving in the middle of one game. I did rather well in my other games though. I've got to get back into playing some single player games, like I should finish up Star Fox...and move onto the next game in my huge ass list. I do need to add some new games to that list also.

Not much going on today, just finishing up some things, doing some stuff around the apartment. Might have a possible consulting call to go out on, but not 100% sure. Looks like it's going to be a pretty easy day, which I hope it is :)

I would like to try to start playing a character on our World of Warcraft server. I still really haven't found time to do that yet :) I'll probably go Blood Elf so emilie and I can play together.

Squeaky Clean!

2008-10-03T17:41:28Z

I just finished cleaning up the kitty poo area, their food area, the dishes and I also cleaned out our "relaxing waterfall thingy". I think I am done for now, hopefully emilie can do the rest tonight or tomorrow. I will probably end up vacuuming. I had an easy consulting appointment this morning at Canus, just a erase a hard drive and then they had some permissions issues I quickly fixed with one command :P

morgan sent me the new Rise Against album and it's pretty damn good. I can't stop listening to the new Anberlin either.

So I've got to work on Macintosh-Admin a little bit, I hope my cards come soon. Just checked on the UPS website -- doesn't look they're coming until the 7th, oh well, shipping was free. I've just got to remember to send them out to my vet, Mark and a couple to my dentist.

I also need to work on TheMangosResource and get some more content posted up there.

I'm still in works on getting a full time job at the University. It's looking very good though. I am having mixed thoughts about it all, as much as I love consulting, but I also like the benefits and being able to take classes for free and all (can anyone says tons of Japanese classes and equine classes?!). I'll probably follow through with it.

Hrmm, not much else to say at the moment, I am looking to get back into World of Warcraft, not sure if I'll go official or not. We do have our own server (anyone can use it!)...so we'll see.

Have a nice day kids!!

Insanely Busy!

2008-09-30T00:54:33Z

As usual, I've been incredibly busy...and when i do have a moment the last thing on my mind is updating Scribbld, so I must apologize to my poor site! I've been working on getting a full time job although I am starting to have second thoughts about it, mostly because I love and enjoy consulting far to much to give it up entirely...so either the people who want to hire me full time need to pay me at least what I would be making consulting or it's just not going to happen...half of me wants it to happen, half doesn't. I mean taking classes for free, benefits are all amazing, but does that compare to the freedom I have when I consult? It's very hard.

Been trying to do as much horse stuff as I can whenever I've got a free moment. I really need to get better about that and not spend so much time on the computers, it's terrible.

morgan and I have been working on a new World of Warcraft server which is now up and running. You can visit this site for more information. I've not had time to re-create my character, hopefully emilie isn't to mad that we wiped the database -- I know she had a few characters setup and we did have our Blood elves.

There's some idiot on #lobby now...

Keith and I are still trying to get paid by YellowSteel, it's really a pain in the ass...I am thinking we're definitely going to re-work how we setup consulting jobs...a lesson learned.

I've got the new Underoath album, I can't stop listening to that, the new Anberlin and The Academy Is...albums. They're absolutely amazing.

raf I added you as a friend :) Morgan says you've got some pretty elite skills.

Not much else to write about at the moment.
