90 Days Away

October 26, 2006 is the deadline we have until we are kicked out from our current apartment. Well, not really kicked cause we are on good terms. For months now they have been turning these apartments into condos to buy after renovating everything and whatnot. Bryan said we would be asked to leave soon and while I believed him I didn't want to think it would be THIS soon. :/

I'm glad I have a job now however, I got some money together to cover costs of another move, even though it wouldn't be much more than another deposit and first month's rent.

It's not that big of a deal I guess but I don't want to have to actually move anything - it still looks like we barely got here. We have all that food now in the fridge we'd need to move quickly. These huge ass tables, our veevees, etc etc.

Hopefully the next place we find isn't too much more money (or perhaps less), for the same amount of space.

More updates to follow I guess.

Lo Wang is Shadow Warrior

(4:17:22 PM) xdrgamezx: hahaha
(4:17:23 PM) xdrgamezx: Oh man
(4:17:31 PM) xdrgamezx: I downloaded Shadow Warrior again
(4:17:32 PM) Bui: sup?
(4:17:34 PM) Bui: LOL
(4:17:39 PM) xdrgamezx: And found this patch that lets it play in OpenGL for Windows XP
(4:17:41 PM) xdrgamezx: hahaha
(4:17:56 PM) Bui: oh man
(4:18:01 PM) Bui: that shit is hella old
(4:18:46 PM) xdrgamezx: It's exactly what I remember it as

There really is no way I can describe this game and be accurate. Think Duke Nukem with a very very bad sterotype of an asian pervert samuri. The plot is... actually I'm not sure. There is this guy name Villa and you want to kill him. Why? Not sure.

It's pretty hard compared to other games mainly because mouselook doesn't work worth crap, so I'm using auto aim (vertical) and just keyboarding. A few graphical things make the game a bit harder, but it's still pretty much exactly how I remember it. I suggest you try finding this game and testing it out for yourself - it's probably a game you never heard of and to miss such a piece of work would be a shame.

I'm a Lumberjack and That's OK

7 Days this week. Jesus christ.

Granted my work days are not very long (8 hours being the max on a double shift), but I have not and will not get a single day off this week. This comes as both good and bad. It's good because I need money. Bad. I've already taken $2,000 from my savings and I'm still trying to keep up with the bills and food and rent and etc etc. It's starting to really worry me, and at this point the only thing I can do is consider taking another job up.

I really hope everyone here starts paying back faster. Actually - yes they have been for the most part. A few times Nimbus will go a week or so longer than I want but that's perfectly fine. Lando goes a very very long time without paying me back and that's a good reason why I'm hurting for money, he controls near $400 he has to pay back to me. I really want to start having a normal household, which means everyone pays rent on the rent day or people start getting kicked out, I'm tired of worrying about money I have that someone else is holding onto.

I'm glad to have a job as well. While I don't make as much money as I did over at Black Angus, it's a lot more fun here at Applebee's and right now I needed that. It's amazing to see how a real resturaunt should work. From updtaded computers to actually having everything we need in stock. But I digress. It's good to have a job because I have something to do. I just don't sit around the house all day every day like I was when I didn't have a job. It feels good, I don't feel worthless and like I'm mooching. I also hope Lando finds a job soon. I'm not sure if he's looking anymore, he's trying to survive off just doing art comissions and whatnot. If he can survive by doing that then it will be cool but as stated earlier by the amount and speed I'm being paid back I have reason to believe he isn't getting as much money as he would hope.

Cleaning around here is also getting annoying. I'm not here when I'm at work (surprise) so I don't see any cleaning that gets done then, but whenever I get home it seems to be just as if not more dirty. Bryan has been doing laundry which is all I would ask from him but the rest of the house seems to fall onto my shoulders when it gets messy. Maybe the others just don't mind the mess, I know Eevee says he feels weird cleaning up other people's messes and whatnot (even though he spends 220 a month just to live here like the rest of us @..@) and that's fine with me.

Maybe I just want to move to a smaller apartment. I'm not sure.

Dirty Car

My car's tags are coming due the 20th, still registered in California. Because I'm too lazy and don't want to change over and get my own insurance plan right now I have to maintain this illusion of sorts. I have a CA driver's license and CA plates still. If anyone important asks I'm here for a few months on a businuess trip.

So I go get my car smogged (emissions testing in other places) and I get wonderful news - I fail the test.

The gentleman there explained why I failed and gave me a huge long list of places to go and whatnot to get my car fixed so I can pass.

I end up taking it to Goodyear Gemini auto and have to wake up around 7am (fucking early) and pay like 120 bucks to get it diagnosed. Afterwords he shows me the problem on paper as I nod and pretend like I have ANY fucking clue on what he is talking about. The final number comes out to a measly almost 900 fucking dollars.

:|

So yeah right now I don't have a car, I'm going to pick it up in a few minutes when Bryan goes to work (it's about a mile from there so I'm going to walk).

This car better outlive me now.

First Day of Work

I have to wear buttons.

That has to be the worst part of this job. Not only do I have to wear a chunk of plastic that lets everyone know what my name is (I don't like nametags), but I have to wear two different buttons, and I get more if I do a good job.

*cue cut-in of Office Space and "flaire"*

Other than this this job is many many times easier than my old server job. True the prices are cut in half over here but I'm not sure if that's a bad trade-off or not. The girl I'm training with is really funny so that's always good.

But other than that yeah, I need to get a smog test and send in registration before the 20th and I'm lazy. :(

Oil needs to be changed.

I have to piss like a racehorse and I'm hungry.

waah waah waaah

Good news though! Bryan gets home from a wedding he had to attend so I get to have someone around to talk to and bug again! :D

OCD

11:30, I'm hungry. Might as well make some chicken dish thing. So I start defrosting the chicken and watching "V for Vendetta"

Half an hour later I cut up the chicken and start to cook it, as well as start a load of laundry. While it's still cooking I put another load in. Finishing up the movie I eat my cooked food and decide "hey it's past 1am, lets clean my room!" So I take all the now clean laundry and start to fold it after cleaning my room to near perfection.

2:30 is here, why not clean the fucking front room and do all the dishes and whatnot?! Hell while I'm at it lets clean up the bathroom a bit.

So now it's almost 5 and I still need to clean something. I don't know what I need to clean but blah.

Also there is a vee in my bed, probably naked.
