“Allow Comments”
It seems that wordpress is a bit strange and disabled comments by default. I always have to go back and enable them. NOT THIS TIME, I clicked it to start my post.
On the ICANN/Registerfly Fiasco: It seems that Registerfly is again, a reseller of domain names. Which for me is a good thing! I just wish they had made a notice of it when they put the news out and a big warning on their website. But alas, all it saved. I might still move some of my domains elsewhere, just in case.
Work related: I was about 20 minutes late to a meeting today. Crap! I woke up at 8:20, started to make cereal, then realized "oh shit, I have a meeting at 9:00!" I then proceeded to put my golden grams and milk back into the fridge and take a 2 minute shower, and scuttle out of my apartment to my meeting. Oddly though, the meeting organizers were about 20 minutes late too, and started just as I began to stroll in. And my boss didn't seem to mind too much. Phew!
Weekend: I had a great time. I took my car back up to Thousand Oaks Thursday night so I could get it worked on for the weekend. It finally got over Sunday night and isn't ready just yet. So on Friday, since I couldn't do much else (and had planned it) I took my loving girlfriend, Carmen, out to Long Beach to try out to be the next Elvira. The people in charge didn't know what they were doing so we wandered around the Queen Mary and saw some interesting people. Carmen was really close to actually auditioning for the role, and while I wish she had the opportunity to, we still had loads of fun. Especially the ride down there as she tried to navigate to play 'Conquest' by the White Stripes by using the next button. My mp3 player isn't all that intuitive. On second thought I should have brought my laptop and a ac-car adapter to power it. Its much easier to use. In any event, after that we killed a tone of Fleas at her mom's house and then wandered back into town to watch The Neverending Story at the Insomniac Cinema. I wasn't expecting what I was expecting, Its been ages since I've seen that movie and I don't remember seeing this first one. But it was really good, I just ended up falling asleep for some reason about 3/4 of the way through [I think] but I remember it. It was actually really well done, acted, and directed for its time. Some different innuendo now that I'm older, but still, fantastic movie. Sunday included Transformers (in bold, since they're big robots) with my dad and then hanging out with Carmen. Kicking ass in Chess! (sort of) And leaving later than planned, arriving even later than planned back in San Diego. But I try to extend my weekends past their prime, since I end up having so much fun and really enjoying everything. I miss Carmen already and I hope the weekend comes sooner than later. Rating: 20/5.

I had a wonderful weekend, my girlfriend, my love, Carmen went to try out to be Elvira. We managed to get up close to her and had a blast!
Rhapsody Is Cool.
Works in both Windows and Linux via the web. Login and listen to all the music you want. Plus it ain't an apple so it works with any player that supports WMA, which is a lot more than the iPods out there. Sound quality is good as well, no qualms with it at all! Plus if you download a program that takes a WMA and gives it NO DRM (type those all caps things into google) you can actually copy it to a device, copy the wma files back off the device then remove the DRM and do whatever you'd with the music!
Brilliant!
Whats not so brilliant: Getting 4 hours of sleeping, going to work 7 hours at work, then going to school for 3 more. My phone took longer to charge than I got to sleep, damn you phone!
Fin.
Great Weekend
Wow, this weekend was the best I've had for a long time. I basically got to spend all of it with Carmen and we had so much fun. I rolled into town pretty late after getting stuck in traffic, but I was quick to call Carmen when I got in. She didn't feel like heading up from her home so I decided I'd go down and see how she was doing. Down in Pt. Heuneme we watched Idiocracy and ate some more Spumoni and Rocky Road ice cream. I also got to see a ton of Carmen's paintings and drawings. She's brilliant with art, she has a vision of things and is able to recreate them beautifully with paint, charcoal, pen, pencil, and paper. I hope she keeps drawing, she really does have skill (the dinosaur I drew at work fails in comparison) and she can sing and act too, brilliant! So we watched most of Idiocracy, I fell asleep for a little bit of it, then a little bit more after waking up. But 2am rolled around, she had work the next day and I had to drive back. But we met again on Saturday for some food at Baja Fresh. In my infinite wisdom and masocishm I decided it'd be a good idea to eat Jalopen(~)os and more Jalopen(~)os. Yeah, no good. Afterwards we parted for a bit, I rode my bike around, managed to get confused with the transmission, then relearned how to ride to get back home. We then met up again, Carmen looking beautiful and me looking pretty spiffy myself, donning a suit and red converse sneakers. We met up with Brent and Hamlet to go to BB Kings bar and Grill on Citywalk. We managed to sneak in like an employee and parked in a primo-parking spot that wasn't ours, but no harm no foul. Brent and Hamlet made the joke that we really didn't seem to fit in there, but we really did. We had a round of drinks and watched a Funk band play some live music. From Bowie to Sir-Mix-A-Lot (really) they were pretty interesting. We then came back to my place to watch Sicko. I hate health care now, those bastards! At least the 'terrorists' in Guantanamo get good treatment. I also learned a bit about Cuba that I didn't know before, that they actually have a better health-care system with state-of-the-art equipment. I really am cynical of the government and education now for not mentioning this. Here I was thinking they were a bunch of Communist bastards bent on killing us. But really, like most countries, I've come to realize, they're really just trying to stamp out a life in this crazy world of ours. In any event, Sunday we woke up around noon, went to Universal, got lost in the scorching hot-valley, got into Universal Studios free thanks to Brent and had a great time there. I was really surprised to see all those rides whilst wearing my contacts, I could actually see shit! In any event, I had a wonderful time there with Carmen, her sister and brother and a few other friends. I hated leaving Sunday night, I wish I could just stay there and see her the next day and spend more time with her and my friends. But I gotta work, hopefully securing a good job so I can move to my own place and start a family! So much to do, so little time. Please make the weeks go fast and the weekends go slow and last forever.
That is all.
Note: I got little sleep last night, thats me recalling all the great fun I had on the weekend, it might be confusing and make your ears and brain bleed, but hey, I got over it!
