don't use my car. 6 days a week for 3 weeks.
don't use ANY car 12 months ago

by the way, i totaled my car.

so now this entry just means “don’t use ANY car. for 6 days a week for 3 weeks.” I wonder if i should modify it further or give some reason to this arbitrary number.

cuba anyone? 16 months ago

or perhaps some cool visas to other rad countries?
or perhaps staying at some traveler hostels in LA?
or perhaps just being ready if the shit hits the fan on November 4th?

Fuck yeah

So not sure exactly where i’ll be. Maybe i can work Easter Island on this trip

editing! a movie 17 months ago

I’m in Tennessee for 3 weeks. I’m cutting an indie horror movie! YAY! 8 years working towards this. Obviously, there will be more entries about this.



show my tattoos to my dad
My dad is amazing 17 months ago

On father’s day, i took my dad out for dim sum. After a bit I told him that I had tattoos for a while now and it was really bugging me that i had to wear long sleeves around him. And I asked if he were ok with seeing them. And he was absolutely fine. He actually liked them. He said I was no longer under his roof and I could do whatever i wanted. This made me so happy.

Next time i saw him, I was with Katie. He excitedly asked me if I had any more tattoos he could see. I said no. And said “aw shucks!” and turned to katie and said “Last time i saw him he showed me his tattoos and it made him so happy. I wish I could always make him that happy just by looking at something.”

I love my dad. He’s fucking amazing.

I guess this opens the door for me to get Poincare’s homology sphere tattooed on me. If i could just figure out what to get to represent my mom…

i own the domain! 17 months ago

Pay day! 18 months ago

I got a check. I went to the red lion. as it turns out you only need a $100 deposit.

I got optimator. It got me tanked. Everyone in the bar is interested in the boot! I made friends! Even though i couldn’t chug it for shit, I still made friends!!!



get my volvo working (read all 2 entries…)
I drove it today 19 months ago

So it runs. Sure, I stalled it out once and had to wave people around me as I tried to get it started again. Sure, it smoked when I drove it. (but not like a fire. Just like all the exhaust isn’t making it out the the back)

These happened for 2 reasons, respectively:
1) It’s touchy. It’s old. I need to learn to drive it with kid gloves. It needs more gas before I let up the clutch than I’m used to. etc. etc. There will be a learning curve on driving an old car.
2) No matter what I do, it will always be falling apart. I’m coming to grips that keeping an old car running isn’t like learning to bike. It’s like Clayface trying to keep himself together in the rain.

I’m still sitting around thinking about what I’m putting into this and what I’m getting out of it. But I guess I do this with every aspect of my life.

I’m leaving this goal here as I’m not done with it. Even though I drove it to work today. Maybe i need to reword it now.

So I've taken it to the shop 20 months ago

took me long enough to get around to this. I wonder how much it will be. I wonder what they’ll say it wrong with it. Probably not much. These things are tanks.

I bet it needs a new battery and an antenna ball and that’s it.
