Shut Your Mouth and Open Your Eyes

Just to spite myself

I went to bed at about midnight last night, and didn't fall asleep until about 2. Then I woke up at about 6:45 and couldn't fall back asleep, so I had an incident with my body:
Body: "Bwahahha you loser, I'm not gonna let you sleep in!"
Kevin: "C'mon man, it's been a rough week. I start work on Monday and need to get some good rest."
B: "What? Fuck you asshole!"
K: "FINE! Fuck it! I'm getting up, I'm going to my computer, and I'm not going to take a nap today!"
B: "What? SHIT, I was just kidding man! Stay in bed!"
K: "NO! Fuck you, you brought this on yourself."

Hopefully that'll teach me.

Big news in the last few days. I got my eyes checked and I'm getting a pair of glasses. They should be in next week. Like I've been saying, it's cheaper than getting a high definition tv, and has the same effect for me. I saw Catrina working there, and she was helping me find some sexy frames.

Yesterday I picked up a cell phone. It's a Motorola V220 with Rogers. Cameraphone and all that shit. I had to pirate some software to be able to exchange data like ring tunes and pictures, and now I can synchronize it with my Outlook. Of course, Outlook is a POS, but it's better than typing everything in by hand in the cell phone.

I've already loaded some video game ringtones, and pictures for caller ID. Adam gets "The Decisive Battle", one of the best tunes from FFT, and everyone else has "Lucca's Theme". There's also a quiet mode, where the ring is just a beep. Next, I should find (or program) some good games.

Chris Hanley came crawling back, and wants me to start on Monday. I had no choice but to say yes. It may not be ideal, but it's as good as I'm going to get anytime soon. I should bring up the topic of a raise though, for my own good. Extra money is always welcome. Starting so early means another thousand bucks by the end of the summer. Besides, Grant is working full time, and Adam might be starting full time any day now. I have nothing better to do than work.

The quest for a less cluttered crawl space has begun. It's already looking a bit better.

For the third week in a row now, I've lost $20 playing poker. On the second hand alone, I made ten bucks from Adam's Cousin, but from that point on, my thirty bucks trickled away. I made a lot of all ins. They were all on decent hands, but I think I should try to find a medium between my over-aggressive and under-aggressive play. Or, I could just give up poker and put the twenty bucks a week towards something other than other peoples' pockets.
