It's 3L Niño...

Quite the accomplishment

2005-08-10T01:36:18Z

So I walk into the kitchen because the ding on the toaster-oven tells me that my chicken wings are done, and there I see a housefly buzzing about. With a natural instinct, I grab the kitchen towel, roll it up, and slowly, carefully watch it until THWACK!! It's on the ground wriggling to its death, and I'm yelling "SUKKAH PLEASE!!" at it.

This also recalls the time I smashed a cockroach with a slipper and then throwing my arms up in triumph yelling "SUKKAH PLEASE!!"

There's something about smashing bugs in interesting ways that is so much fun!

What up dizzle?

Shuttle Adventures

2005-06-21T20:33:41Z

So, I needed to go get my ID badge for work, simple enough, just gotta head over to "Sony" (I thought I worked at Sony?) and go to the security office. So I go up to the perpetually grumpy security guy at the front desk and ask him if he could call the shuttle over to the "Kelly Building." He says "There is no shuttle to the Kelly building...." (I have a confused look because I was just told by my supervisor to ask this guy about the shuttle) and he continues... "You gotta take it over to Smith, and from there catch a shuttle to Sony." I just nod and say ok as he picks up the phone. So about 10 minutes later, the guy gets here, and he drops me off at Sony, I'm and out of there in 10 minutes, with my ID. Now to get back.... the shuttle driver had told me "When you're done, ask for the shuttle to go to Gate 2, and from there, tell them you need to go to the Slauson building." Easy enough. I go to the security booth, and tell the security officer. She apparently has no idea what I'm talking about, or what to do, but then has an idea, and calls a shuttle. I get on, tell the guy I need to go to the Slauson building, and says he can't take me there, we go around the block, and I'm back where I started. It's noon by now, I left at 11. So eventually, we figure out where gate 2 is, and the same shuttle driver, comes around to pick me up again. He drops me off at the Culver Studios (another Sony property) at gate 2, and I walk up to the security booth, and guess what? "What's the Slauson shuttle??" is not what I wanted to hear. After a shite load of confusion, we eventually get in contact with the right guy, and the security gaurds learn who the Slauson shuttle dude is. I wait at the security booth for 30 mins because shuttle man is at lunch. The security gaurd was pretty cool though. Lanar? Lamar? something like that. Needless to say I got back, but it took me 2 hrs. When it should've taken 30 mins tops.

at work

2005-06-20T18:39:41Z

Today's my first day at Sony Pictures Digital Entertainment. Not so much action today, but I suspect the pace will pick up and me pass me up anytime soon. We shall see. ;)

relief

2005-06-17T22:34:28Z

YAYYY I PASSED KOREAN, YAYY, SUMMER OFFICIALLY BEGINS NOW!

let's give this another try

2005-06-16T23:05:58Z

so i started this whole blogging thing last summer... and promptly dropped it. mostly due to lack of interesting things to talk about i suppose. well, let's see if we can't try it again hmm?? can't wait to get back to the valley, not that i don't like san diego, but i want to start my job and i miss greggjoshjoewhitkim ... yes... you are one giant person. kidding. of course. =) but i do miss u all. i wrote them all at once to show that i miss all of u, and in not particular order. ok. i stop the rambling, maybe some of u will be surprised to see this post. if you are still subscribed to me.

P.S. i learned how to add blogs to Thunderbird via RSS.... o happy day... i can easily gather all of your precious thoughts into one place.

da weekend

2004-10-17T07:41:01Z

josh, kim, gregg, whit, louis, you all make me miss home so much! its too much fun hanging out with yawl =D

so, i'm pretty happy right now, things that were not previously working on my computer are suddenly working again... my USB ports and my ethernet are working again..... i just seem to be fixing things properly this time... i hope i can do the same for my dads computer..... the only other thingt that sucks is my FREAKIN MONITER!! DAMN YOU BUY.com DAAAAAAMMMNNN YOUUUUUU!!!!!!!! YOU TO UPS ---- i dont think anyone really has a bias against shipping companies, BUT I DO, I FRIGGIN HATE UPS.... why cant everyone use FEDEX... =( they dont hurt my 1700 moniters.....

Election time

2004-09-20T01:41:25Z

No, i'm not gonna talk about politics... just computer moniters...

you guys know those nice, big, shiny new Mac Cinema Displays, you know what I'm talking about, they come in 20'' - 23'' and 30'' flavors

well... I want one... big surprise right... well I've started saving for one, and if after Fall quarter, I still want one... Niño is buying himself a fatty moniter for Christmas.

The problem is, which one to get? Since we are students, i can get them at the bookstore at the following prices:

20": $1169

23": $1800

30": $3000

So... I consider these my possibilites:

TWO of the 20" model for $2340

ONE of the 23'' for only $500 less (considering the jump between the 20" and 23'' is $630)

or go for the gusto and get the 30"... knowing ill have to drop another $600 for a video card that can handle it...

right now im leaning towards the two 20'' models or the 23"...

thoughts? (note: as of now, NOT getting it is NOT an option =D, though common sense or a financial crisis may change that)

yayyy, josh and mike are coming this weekend, time to go-kart! woooooo!

The Runaround

2004-08-30T02:56:18Z

So, I got my PS2 today, and the plan was to hook it up to the TV tuner on my computer, which I bought specifically for the Playstation. So I was at Best Buy, and things were going well, I had the PS2 in hand, a little cheapo memory card for $10, as opposed to the Sony $25 one, the S-Video connector for PS2, but I was missing one thing, an RCA to 1/8 inch stereo connector. Undaunted that I could find one at any other store, I made my purchase and walked briskly to my car, which was parked next to a twin 2-door Red 1996 Rav4. I parked it there just because of the rarity of such an occurance =D Anyhow, I get home hook it up, and realize that my chepo memory card needs software to run. I need to load a CD "every time the unit has been shut off or restarted"... WTF?!?! since when does a memory card need software to run?? So I go back to Besy But (which is like 10 miles away) and exhange it for the $25 card. And now, it's time to look for the cable I need for the audio... 5 stores later... I found sort've what I needed... unbelievable... anyway, at least I have audio now, and my desk entertainment center is complete..... for now...

oh that lateness

2004-08-28T08:28:54Z

Give Niño Albert and Joshua Daniel a good AIM directconnect and its over... too funny... and Josh has too many pictures.. I don't know where het gtot them or why he has them.... ahhaha it keeps getting better...

...::GASP:: watching my TV tuner... commercial for Jet Li's HERO... I must see it on the big screen......... must...

Oooooooohhh.....Ahhhh....

2004-08-28T05:09:17Z

Yayy... no more logging into the site to post!! SO... this would've been a nice weekend for j'all to come and visit me... the roomie is gone.. and so is my girlfriend.... which means I'll be awfully lonely.... ::tears::... just kidding, I won't be sad, rather, just bored, which ends up in massive amounts of eating because I have nothing better to do... maybe I'll go and get my PS2 and complete my all-in-one desk entertainment center, my computer now has a TV tuner, so I can watch TV or play PS2 or play computer games without ever getting off my arse! Yay for technological convergence! All I need is a mini-fridge and it's time to get FAT!

Hmm... went over to reach for my mouse and I forgot I put it in the base station to charge... it's wireless you see.... but at least its rechargable so I don't have to pump it with batteres ever 3 weeks. But now, I must wait and type this journal entry for even longer. You know what... I have flan in my fridge. It's my birthday flan... I didn't get a cake, I got an authentic Mexican flan... mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.... how I love that caramel goodness....

First timer...

2004-08-27T18:55:13Z

Well, it's come down to this... and here's the story to go with it... most days, you can find me at work, usually working... yet sometimes gleefully distracted by the interweb and the often times overlooked treasures it contains, like www.ilovebees.com for example. And some times, I will come upon something that I really want to share people... I grin, look up from my moniter... and there is nothing... just me and my noisy window blinds and the occasional door opening, at which I emply the ever-useful "Windows key + M" shortcut - Minimize All.... if those of you who work at computers do not know this... now you do... and may you be further distracted for now having gained this exquisite knowledge.

Now you may ask, why I decided to start an LJ on this particular day... well... that is because of this!
The Offical FEMA coloring book!! Yayyyy!!

Wanna see my drawing??

Gotta love the purple shoes...

Well.. works almost off.. so I will make my first post and be done with it.... 8Y3
