I'll buy condoms just in case.

I meant in this thread, and you aren't replying to my offer on AIM either :)

I was in LA for 6 hours...
First my flight came in late. Then immigration, this Japanese guy named Tsia kept insisting if I'm not another guy with the same name (different middle name though...)

Granted that I do look slightly different in my passport... but considering that I was 17 in that picture with no mohawk... no beard... and face much more slimmer... I still more or less look what I do. Goddamit, there's that very light strawberry birthmark on my forehead... and my widows peak hair line for him to go on.

30 minutes with this guy. Who obviously very pissy. Not as much as me because I have a second plane to catch. Still, I'm pissed.

Got to SFO by 3AM... I was suppose to be in bed by that time!
Woke up-- with a load of laundry to do because my clothes stink of food and stuff...

But I'm glad to be back... so many things changed. A cousin of my mother died and so I'm thrusted right in the middle of another family reunion. I meet a guy whom I've seen before but never thought he was my distant cousin. Major reason: he's Black. But technically he's more related to me by blood than my cousin Carlos in Mexico City because he directly related to me maternally... We share the same great grandmother on my mother's side.

And it's cool because we got along before so......... I guess we'll be seeing each other more often. We will make good friends because we've already know each other and we've seen each other angry--

We had an angry discussion about the Black Coummity's reluctance and even agression towards gay rights. (think about Coretta Scott King versus her niece.... remember)

I would have never thought he would be related to me more closer... partially because he looks all Black, and not mixed. And his mother is lighter than my mom and my mother could pass for Caucasion.

What else... oh--
Found so many lovely pictures of my parents when they were young and in love. I scanned them. I will display them.

Anyways, I'm pretty tired. Nice to be home. Even though this vacation did indeed suck in a huge way-- I miss Carlos already. I regret shitting on him with my complaints. But it is frustrating to be not attended when you're dependent on others. Especially for one who isn't one to wait on people to wait on him or her... sigh.

take care folks, I'm going to bed... feeling abit amorous (three weeks already... i'm dying) but more tired. ciao ciao...

The French version of the quote, "Dans une avalanche, aucun flocon ne se sent jamais responsable", is nearly always attributed to Lec.

Cheers for that man, unfortunately I don't read French and haven't gotten around to reading his English translated work, but I liked his personal ideologies and thought I'd attribute a quote to him. I realize the pretentiousness in falsely attributing this quote so I'll take it down.

I am so fed up computers right now that it's not even funny.

My brother gave me his old Dell Inspiron 1100 laptop computer for my birthday, so I could have something to tinker with music wise and not bog down the family desktop computer with all that. Very thoughtfull of him, really uncharacteristic of him to do so... until I turned it on.

I have uninstalled shit and uninstalled shit until I thought I was going to wind up with a glorified typewriter, and there's STILL 7.83 gigabytes of crap on that 20 gigabyte hard drive, and I still don't know what it's all from.

I'm currently looking for a cheap Windows XP Home Edition setup disk. My intention is (if I can't solve the space issue) to open the command prompt and just run a "C:\Format" command, then re-install the operating system. This isn't just rediculous, it's FUCKING REDICULOUS.

funeral was this morning at 11. beautiful blue skies and white fluffy clouds. her ashes were laid to rest in a very small cemetary behind the catholic church where the service was held. My grandfather is doing well, considering. The family all cried while my uncle read a list of things that Gram (what we called her) was known for in the family. The priest, though on short notice and not at his own parish was very nice about everything. He made a point to read the obituary in todays paper (very well written by my uncle who writes a column in one of the local newspapers about outdoors each week). Afterward we went to a small reception hall and watched a slide show and a computer slide show, at some food and remembered Gram.

It was very nice, though I felt bad that it was a catholic ceremony on account of my grandfather being very nearly immobile, but he still managed to stand and sit, albeit with a little help from my mother and her sister.

Heather was unable to make it, on account of driving to Albany to get some paperwork processed quicker so that she could start working again. She's driving back now, and when she meets me back here at my father's house. I'll bring her by to my grandparents' home to meet mom's side of the family.

My dad went and my mother glared at him a bit, but she managed to just ignore him during the reception. The poor guy was part of the family for 20 years and he has every right to be there. They all still like him just as much, but my Mom has to make a point to be as heartless as she can to the poor guy. Oh well, she managed not to talk to him, and he kept his distance from her. All went well.

btw, Oscar went off and got his brown ass married and has been teaching Tae Kwon Do for years. I figured you guys would know that at least.

and latingrounds is currently having a dry spell. I sent Der-Low a PM about it, since he's latin and may not have heard of it. Either way, we would always enjoy new members joining. I can't speak or type spanish, yet they have entertained me the last three years or so.

so, where are my cookies?

So it's preregistration time, and all of the technical electives and complementary studies for my program conflict with the core courses in my program.

Good job, registrar's office!

I will get to the bottom of this, or the damn computer is going out the second story window of this house.

Well, save for the bit with your parents, sounds like it was a nice funeral all told. At least it wasn't like the one my grandfather had...

He wanted "The Old Homestead" by The Boys from Kentucky bluegrass band to be played at his funeral after all the hymns and Vince Gill's "Go Rest High" were played. My grandmother went out to his truck and got the tape, qued it up to that tune, and handed it off to the guy in charge of sound.

When it started playing, it was an uptempo bluegrass party tune about how the guy's wife had just left him, and he was about to burn the old homestead down to the ground. It was all we could do to keep from falling out laughing, and a few people were tapping their feet to the beat.

I think Grandpa pulled a fast one on us from beyond the grave. ;-D

The Schrade I won on ebay came today. Here's a pic of it next to my Uncle's knife that's going in the lock box here shortly.

That's what you get from not assembling your own computer ;)
It has its disadvantages though, I've burnt two computers so far :(

Anyway, I don't know if you can still pull a format C: in Windows XP... you'll need a Win XP CD (they're bootable), or a Win98 boot diskette.

Well, it wasn't my computer to begin with, see. If I was going to go out and build one or buy one new, it wouldn't have been the dell. But, I'd wanted something simple I could tinker with in my room for image editing and music making (I want to start submitting stuff to the Audio portal again, but better), so I figured... "Eh, why not?"

Of which I have niether, not even a disc for the desktop I'm using now. You can still bring up a DOS prompt in WinXP, and then there's the Run window on the start menu, though.

You can download a program that makes Win98 boot diskettes from the net, google it.

Yes, but that's not DOS (see how it says console, and never DOS), and I don't know whether it has the format instruction.

Really? You're weird.

Where's Lady Grace?
I'm going to Las Vegas on Harry Potter Day... some friends of my husband are going there at some barnes and nobles and they invited us.

Be cool that we could finally have that chat at her tea shop...

gah-- I'm aint driving. Taking a airplane (even though I'm sick of it, but still...)

Her AIM is in her profile. Could start there

Speaking of flying, anyone know any good places to eat in Chicago?

If there's one thing I hate moving to a different room, it's a bookshelf. I want to go to sleep, but my bed looks like so:

a pipe in the lifeguard's "office" where i work broke (the bloody thing came off completley) today. a nice five foot high jet of water indoors is an interesting site. i should soon have pictures...or maybe not soon...who knows....

So we were going to go into the nearby city, not Albany, to get a hotel room and spend our anniversary doing something special. well. while telling my mom that we were going to go (heather picked me up at my father's house when she came back from Albany and we shot over to the family homestead the next town over because my mom insisted on Heather making an appearance. So, we got there and mom (already wasted) took heather by the hand and dragged her through the house introducing her to everyone available, then proceeded to drag her around the property explaining how my grandmother had once had gardens all around the 4 acre property.

So we stayed a bit and finally decided to take our leave so that we had time to take out some money from my bank and pay for a hotel for the night) and my mom grabs my hand very tightly and says no, we're going to have dinner at a restaurant together. as a family. and that we cannot leave.

Heather got sad and teary on account of us being on our way and me being blind sided by my mom's sudden mood swing and unable to recover from the blow, looked at heather and said if it would be OK with her. She got pissy and sulked in a corner for a while and we argued over it all. Eventually we agreed that we will just try to find a hotel that would take personal checks (which I had with me) and that we'd go to dinner and all was better.

okay, dinner is over and we're in the city and we're sending text messages to that google 411 thingy and we called the places and only one took checks and they only had a two double bed smoking room for like $140 (yeah fuck that) so we walked into a couple hotels, found one with jacouzzi suite for like $100, but they only took business checks, we made sad faces at the man at the front desk and he called his supervisor, who told him the same thing.

We left and watched Transformers (not bad, despite the bastardization of our cherished childhood cartoon) and I drove home (naturally)

and that's how we spent what was supposed to be our wedding day.

oh, and the receiver for the wireless mouse came in and it's still not working...I think the mouse's batteries aren't holding a charge anymore and it needs new ones.

I wanna study Mexican cinema... I bought so many DVDs in Mexico City, and...
I want to write and direct.

I think I will apply to a film school.
Mexican cinema is definetly underrated, but it had its moments with Y tu Mama Tambien, and Crimen de Padre Amaro.

Rojo Amanecer... Callejon de los Milagros... Mantando Cabos... 7 dias... (talk about it...) And of course the recent Pan's Labrynth (and Devil's Backbone...)

And Argentian cinema is uber-superb. With Un Cronica de un Fuga, and Plata Quemado...

Sooooo.... why are so many Americans watching shitty drama movies?
Only good drama in the US within these past years was American Beauty. And that's nearly 10 years ago! But Latin drama, it's definetly on that dramatic and complex level with American Beauty. Especially Amores Perros.

Right now I'm watching Fuera Del Cielo... not that great now, but-- I'm holding out.

Anyways--
I'm tired... bi-bi..
