Oh man, who's awesome? This guy is awesome.

Waking up at noon on a Monday. Going for coffee and potatoe chips. I'll be showering soon, then its off to Michigan for a one night stay in the land of moving. Hoo-ray? Yes, hoo-ray. I need the workout.

Vermont was awesome, will talk more about that on Tuesday or Wednesday or never. You guys know how I roll.

Rock!

Oh man, the correct answer certainly was "watch cartoons all week." Hot damn! That and CSI. I think I am done with the televisor for a week or three. My eyes have burned out images the size and oddly inflexible shape of Jimmy Neutron. He's a boy genius!

His dog is powered by what appears to be the same theory as what makes those hand push things for toddlers make the popping noise with a bunch of balls bouncing around inside. Oh shit, I think that sentance was backwards. I like it.

Eureka 7 = the win. Yes Dan(notonthisblog) you were right, again. Piss off.

I started talking to some dude about getting a job with an electronic trading company. The Boston option is growing less attractive as I really think about bailing on my life in Chicago. Things are, generally, okay here. I do not really want to move. However, my mom is starting to get a little nervous about me not having a job. I was all talking myself out of Boston on the phone with her and she started beating me into Boston. It was the rough equivalent of Haji screaming 'get a job' at me over and over for an hour. Awesome!

This coming week: Vermont, next week: Michigan and California, then: open my Lemonade cart! I swear, I am gonna do this. Who DOESN'T want lemonade? That's the question. The answer? Nobody. Everyone wants lemonade. Maybe you gotta jog their memory with a bat, but they want it.

I'm back in Bridgeport and rocking out. Audio Bullys - Generation, is my final new album from Amoeba Music. This album rocks hard. His vocals are heavily processed at points and otherwise sounds similar to the Streets in that he's British and does more talking then straight singing. But he is singing, not just chatting at you. Its a hell of an album.

ACen was at moments spectacular and awful. The con itself was a bit of a waste of time. The panels weren't very good and the video rooms weren't compelling at any point except for 7 am. Really, 7am? Yes, that sounds like the perfect time for Samurai 7. Who isn't awake then?

The dealer room had great deals and I picked up the rest of Madlax, the next four of Ghost in the Shell season 2 and the first of Read or Die the T.V., Cromartie High and Eureka 7. I will probably never mention them again, but I am intensely excited about all of them. They should be delicious.

And two more wall scrolls. The main characters of Samurai Champloo and the Major and Tamagochi's from Ghost in the Shell now grace my walls with the pioneers Claus and Lavi from Last Exile. Yes, I am a dork and proud of it.

And friends from out of town, or even in town, are always good. I hope my Oregonian friends had a good time even if I was crazy tired all weekend and especially yesterday. I am a bad host! Sorry! And to my friends in the south(er) lands of Chicago: I will back this week and I have your Sharpie. And your copy of Negima 8. I will bring both in exchange for Giant Drag and a sleeping bag.

This week is for starting to find a job. Ugh, gotta learn lua, python and then sign my life away to a startup. Or maybe go work in Boston for a former (recent) startup. Maybe I should just watch cartoons instead...

Writing is for jokers, but business opportunities are for heroes. I am not certain if I am man enough to tackle this particular option that stems from both meeting people and rich Africans, but I can hope.

I am lying about something in the above paragraph, can you find the misplaced clue?

Coachella music fest was amazing this weekend. Even the near dehydration and extreme loss of money. The music was worth it. The freakish bug bite that now appears to be growing and probably contains a pod person is decidely unwelcome. But that happens in the desert. I'm sure the arm will fall off eventually. The left side is sinister anyway.

This weekend is ACen. Yes, a weekend of anime and comics. This guy over here? This is stoked.

The White Sox are destroying everything in their path. They are like some kind of freakish juggernaught. Utterly unstoppable.

And now bed for me. Or beer. They both start with 'be' so who can really tell the difference anyway?
