Today after a pleasant breakfast around 12 pm, Yoko and I went walking over to Blick art store. Its right around the corner form our home. They are having an awesome Canvas sale. unfortunately My range or art never stemmed into the oils and acrylic regions. I mainly stuck to gauche and water colours.

Looking around I decided that i needed to get back into drawing. and i picked up a few pads of paper, and some 4b and 4h pencils, white conte crayons, and some black bristol boards. I think that’s a start.
I’ll put up some my “simple” drawings up at a later point.

I also picked up this “moleskine” square notebook. the notebook is not square, rectangular, but basically its pages are graph paper.

I was looking up Traditional wedding gift ideas for my wife since our Wedding Anniversary is coming up in September. The best way for me to remember my wedding anniversary is taking the month september 9, minus the day i was married the 5th. and you get the year.

9 - 5 = 4

September 5th 2004. We were going to get married in the 4th, or a week later, but in Asian culture #4 means death, or can mean death, and the week afterwards would have been the anniversary of September 11. that was a no go.

So we have been married for almost 4 years. and we have been together since 1997 - 1998 this will be around 10 years now since I have known her. Pretty awesome eh.

I looked around on the net and compiled this list of wedding gifts and its funny because it ends at 15, does that mean marriage ends after 15 years?

I’ll let you think about that quandary.

From now on i am going to start doing a weekly update of my life. basically a recap of all the things i have been doing in the past week. it will go from yesterday to monday, since yesterday is still fresh in my head.

Saturday: Went to Palm Springs for a little dining and gambling, and some basic get away from the city. You wonder if i won or lost any money? Well I love playing Craps and Mini-Baccarat. I am up $300 but lost everything afterwards. I like to count my winnngs instead, it make me feel better about myself.

Friday: worked on getting some bugs fixed in the companies UI code. actually i was able to find it working at ome on my own computer. strangely the script debugger at work is messed up or something, and it doenst work on my machine…. I hate windows. and look forward when Adobe products are made for linux. shit, its made for Macs. and thats a unix based OS. FUCK YOU BILL GATES, and STEVE BALLMER for having your developers take fucking shortcuts….. shortcuts are for pussies. I would like your OS if it didn;t have so many problems.

Thursday: finished up the “HTML” version of the company bios tree. apparently the flash one i did, didn’t follow what we were looking for. its cool I understand. Thus i never like to do things w/o someone else deigning it. It just leads to disappointments from both sides. the new one utilized jquery. and pops the bios in to a thickbox.

jquery is my javascript lib of choice. millions of drupal and jquery users can’t be wrong. not only do they have an extensive documentation lib, but if you have some imagination you can go real far with it.

the last company i worked at, Fujitsu, Glovia Services, I introduced their head developer to Scriptacuous/Prototype. your welcome Alice. Alice is a cool chick. Kudos to you.

Wednesday to Monday: i remember not so much. ah wednesday we had the baseball game. it was pretty cool. I had loads of fun. I took some pictures. I think people like taking pictures, but the next day regret they took the picture. so funny. me. i don’t care. no regrets i say. except…. j/k

Monday: blank. i love that about Mondays, never remember anything you go to work, chit chat about how was your weekend. keep up with the jones’ nad go on our way. I think my Company should have a monday meeting. discuss what we should do for the week. and see if we attain the goal by the end of the week over drinks. 7-up and cranberry juice. makes life more fun. Cheers to this!

YEA! I love my life. really no i do. cause life is a bowl of sour cherries. and with this bowl of sour cherries you can acknowledge that each cherry is sour by eating them one by one. Or you can take all of them rinse them off. put them put them in a stainless pot, add some water, and some sugar, and boil them they melt down. cool them off, and whip out some crusty bread and spread them over it. and think man this is Fucking great. cherry preserves. and crusty bread.

thought of the day:

pulcrae puella vitae villa in latin i think i can remember is pronounced

pul-cra poo-ell-a wee-tae wee-la

I forget what it means. means nonsense. I just remember how its pronounced.

So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish.

Douglas Adams - Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.

You dark calm savage.
I eye you from across the way.
You sit there patiently.
Your ripples of magic tickle my senses.

I’m writing this from my iPhone, wow
