My wounds bled for years.
Now you are back,
But I am not the same.
My internet hates me. All night it's been connecting at extremely slow speeds (why did we ever have 14.4 modems?!?), disconnecting on me, and then not even picking up when I dial in. It's like I'm having a "relationship" fight over the phone. First it doesn't answer my questions, then it hangs up on me, then it won't answer when I call it back.
I love you internet!! :0( Talk to me!
In other news, I'll be auditioning for the lead in "Bruised" this saturday. I've been in sort of a silent focus all week, away from my roommates, preparing myself for what I hope will be a good audition.
They ain't seen nothin' yet...
*turns on "Eye of the Tiger" on his mp3 list*
...they ain't seen nothin'.

The master blesses the people.
Who else had Thanksgiving leftovers for breakfast this morning?
If for some reason you don't hear from me for the next few weeks, it's because the drug in turkey has put me into hibernation.
Our Thanksgiving was nice. We cooked all day, and enjoyed our labours after. And then we enjoyed them again an hour later. And then again. And again.
I think I went back for "fifths", not just "seconds".

Years of gradual unfolding.
So this morning, I woke up to check my caller ID (I sleep through phone calls), and WALT DISNEY called me! The Anti-Christ is here! He's back from the dead! *cough*
Okay, so it was Disney Interactive, calling me about a position they had for me.
I'm a bit skeptical. I think maybe they found out about the comment I made a few days ago, and now they're trying to lure me into their chamber of death for saying such things. Disney is watching, they're watching us all I tell you!!!
So, I think I'm going to say NO to Disney. *gasp* Yes, I know. But there is another company vying for my attention, and I am waiting to see what they offer me, which I believe is better than what Disney is offering at the moment.
After I tell Disney NO, I will fear for my life. You don't fuck with Disney.
I must remember not to answer the door if Goofy is standing outside of it, no matter how badly I want my photo taken with him!

Valley heat is drawn to meet the coast.
The cool days of autumn dance withh false summer.
White within black, black within white.
I've been sorta stressed lately with things. Buying a ticket to fly home for Xmas, auditions coming up for a lead in a movie, trying to land this great job that would mean a lot to me and make a difference. It's all just a whirlwind in my head.
So I'm afraid I can't be witty today. I don't have it in me.
Sorry.
So, anyway. What's everyone dressing up as for Thanksgiving?
Nobody said I couldn't be quirky, damnit.

Vernal breath attunes the leaves.
I spent the first part of the day in deep thought and reflection. I thought about how women have suffered throughout a lifetime of chauvanistic oppression. Getting paid less in the workplace just because they're women; being looked at as a piece of meat, and not the true sensitive person they are on the inside. If only us men could know the pain they've gone through, and take a walk in their shoes.
But we can't.
So later I read FHM and MAXIM, then I watched the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show on ABC, and drooled at the sight of all the scantilly clad women.
Hot, hot women! *drools*

You will see both cause and resolution.
Well Thanksgiving is a little over a week away, but let's not forget the other great holidays this month.
November 18th: Mickey Mouse's birthday! (The word birthday is a registered trademark of Disney. So are registered and trademark.)
November 20th: Name Your PC Day. If you actually do that, it's also Time to Get a Life Day.
November 28th: Poet William Blake's birthday. Tell this to a lady friend and she'll think you're sensitive. Unless you're reading it right off of a calendar.
Happy Holidays!!

Is only actual
In one place
And one time.
Yes, the Game Show Edition of Blogtography has ended. Oh well, live fast, die young!
You can expect less blab from now on. I've decided to cut 70% bullshit out of my daily blogs.
It's all about witty highlights from now on!

Lawyers handling the Liquidation of Collegeclub.com contacted me this morning.
This after I called and left numerous messages the past week since they sent me a mysterious letter saying they're trying to find me.
Well it seems I'm owed money from a past CC payroll check, and they are sending that check off to me tomorrow.
Big money, big money! No whammies!

That is meaning.
Well the past few days have been good. I hung out with Nicole the other day, went to the Glendale Galleria, ate dinner, retrieved her lost keychain at the mall security office, went back to her place and watched TV, drank beer, and then played Scrabble. There's more detail to all of those things, but I'm not gonna get into it. :0P Let's just say it was an experience.
Played Scrabble with my roommates. That's my saturday night. Drink beer, play Scrabble. I had some killer words too! I had one 32 point word, and one 42 point word**! The two highest scoring words the whole game. :0P Somehow I lost though, and Tyrico beat both Kain and I. It was our own fault though, we didn't read all the rules first, and just dived into the game. Then later during the game we read the rules on the box, and realized we were doing some stuff wrong. Like the fact we were using the dictionary all the time to look at words. D'oh! Next time it's full on Scrabble rules baby!
I'd better beef up on my vocabulary!
** "Nixy" was my 42 point word. 14 points AND it was on a triple word score box! GO ME!

Reaching autumn, one finds few absolutes.
Life is mystery and ambiguity,
Toward winter, that now seems agreeable and comfortable.
So my fried, bleached and dyed out locks went under the razor today. They needed a fresh start, as most people do.
Besides, with the brown roots growing in, it looked pretty shitty with black hair. So *bzzzZ* I cut it all off. I had to pose for a picture (see above) while I was sculpting a mohawk. What do ya think?
No, I didn't keep the mohawk. I thought about it for a few minutes, then decided against it. :0P At least I now have a picture of myself with a mohawk, so if I'm auditioning for a "punk" role, I can show them how I could look. :0)
I'm just glad I have no dents or strange bumps that stand out.
At least on my head.

If I break the levee, water will inundate me.
Meditation is not to be separated from life.
Hey all, it's really early in the morning and I'm still awake because I've been helping Brit from "Colditch", *evil grin* on a dhtml menu that seems to stump us all. But I promise I'll figure it out! I'm getting there! :0P
Nicole is back from Nawlin's, she had a good time (except for the first night), and she even brought me back some gifts! :0P I got a Voo Doo shot glass, and some beads with cool pirate skulls on them, and one special "viking skull". What's a viking doing hanging out with pirates? Hmm, weird.
The right side of my chest hurts and I don't know why! :0( Nicole cooked us a big spaghetti dinner tonight, but I don't think I have heartburn or anything. The spaghetti was scrumptious, babe! :0) I think I just have a sore muscle maybe, because I started a new workout routine that focuses on a lot of boxing moves. Jabs, hooks, uppercuts, and all the footwork inbetween. It's gonna get me into great shape. Speaking of which, I found myself these past few months eating a LOT of salad. I'm a salad freak now! I must have a nice yummy salad 3 times a week for dinner now. If you asked my mom, she'd tell you this is out of the ordinary for me, especially since I NEVER ate salad my entire life when I lived back home.
All this salad eating has made me lose some weight, me thinks. Walking around the new Paseo Colorado mall with Nicole on monday, I realized that my pants can't stay up without a belt. (Or my hands holding them up) Nicole had to point out all the times she could see my underwear. :0P
Now, Nicole..what were you looking down there for anyway? Hmmmmmmm? Hehe. ;0)

Trembling at the tip of my brush.
Poised above stark white paper,
A universe waits for existence.
*plays cheesy Game Show music*
That's right kiddies! It's the Game Show Edition of Blogtography Dot Com!
Can you feel the excitement?!? Can't wait to win millions of dollars worth of prizes?!
GOOD, because I want to win some too! :0P
Okay, so yah. New design. Don't know why my brain thought of a game show look to it. My inspiration started off with "The $25,000 Pyramid", and I somehow decided I need "whammies" in the design, from the old gameshow "Press Your Luck!"
Go figure. I like it. How about you?
Anyway, my life is pretty cool right now. I've got no complaints. :0)
It's really early in the morning now. I spent way longer than I thought I was going to working on this design.
Goodnight!

But life consists of small things.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN! (yes, I'm a little late.)
We had a Halloween party, and it was muuuuuuuuuuuch fun!
It started off on a bad note because a few of us were watching the World Series and the D'backs lost again tonight! BAH!! Sure Kim, you have a cool pitch, but not when you give up two home runs to lose the game! ARGH! They should have let Schilling pitch the rest instead of taking him out! :0(
But once the booze and music started playing, all was forgotten, and we had a wild old time! :0)
The picture above is the Nicole I have spoken about in past entries. Oooo... she so pretty! :0P (I know she's gonna read this at some point, because I made the mistake of showing her this journal earlier tonight! D'oh!) Now I'd better say only nice things about her, or I'm done for! Hehe.
I'm writing this from my new bedroom, a good 15 feet from where I used to sleep in the living room. Woo hoo! I bet Tyrico loves that the computer is stashed away so he can't hear the *clickity-click-click* of the keyboard into the WEE hours of the night. :0)
With Estevan moving out, he's left us a little bit depleted in our appliance department. He owned the microwave, so now we don't have a way to nuke our food. I'm actually reading the section on my "microwave dinner" how to heat in a "conventional oven". He also owned the toaster we used, but I had a spare one stashed away in the cupboard so we're all good there. He owns the entertainment center, but apparently Kain is going to buy it from him because as Kain put it "it's just too good to give up." Fine by me if he wants to buy it, I'm not chipping in! :0P
Oh, and for those who want to know, I had last minute costume changes for the party. I was not a "naked woman in the shower". Instead, I was something much, much more scary. (Wait a minute, naked women in showers aren't scary! Well..most naked women in showers...) I was a bowler! But not just any bowler... I was ... a VEGETARIAN BOWLER!!
QUICK RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!
