God I love programming, debugging, and problem solving.
What a great job to complete puzzles all day.

P.S. If you work at my old job: yes, I got a new job, like the day I was laid off (because I was already looking) and I get paid more now and have better hours. No worries.
That was awesome. Not at all like I expected. More like total weightlessness than a rollercoaster with Gs.
Uninstall your videocard and reboot, it will get detected and reinstall when it boots up.
Took me too long to get that right answer.
…that’s what some people do instead of getting all made up.
After examining many many pictures of various people I know on Facebook, I came to the conclusion that a lot of people look better normally, indeed even “GREAT” normally, and when they decide to get all “made up” for a night out on the town or something they look WORSE than normal.
Isn’t that weird?

I’m 33 today and it’s the best birthday ever.
In fact, my whole life is better now than it has ever been in the past.
Thanks to God and everyone who helped along the way.
I just passed a lady in the mall with a monkey riding on her shoulder. I asked if I could take a picture and she said “no” which I thought was pretty rude.
When I got to the other end of the mall I saw that he was actually an attraction there, and you could pay to get your picture taken with the monkey.
All around him were signs (seriously there were like 4) that said no pictures. I wanted a picture but didn’t feel like explaining to them that legally I can take a picture of anything I can see in public…
…so you get no monkey pictures today.
Sunday I went to a play at a church with Jose and Jen. It was really well done for a local church-play!
Of course there was the expected level of corniness (showing too much skin for the period, wearing make-up, way too much equality for the period) but the singing and the dance choreography was top notch.
On the way home we stopped for dinner where a strange man who worked there was desperate for our approval.
Good times!
A play about religion
Later, Faye and I got caught up on the most recent “Dexter” available from Netflix.
Saturday the guys from our local Street Fighter scene traveled to a state-wide tournament together to compete. We did pretty well, I got 13th out of 40-50 and one of our guys got 4th. I will post video ASAP.
I was happy with my play for the most part, the only big mistake I made was thinking I could push around Luis’ Sagat (I don’t know why that is stuck in my head, maybe because he was so bad when I first met him) but up till then I was on point. Nothing worse than blowing a tournament because you were jsut having an off day or the pressure got to you, so I was glad that didn’t happen.
Here's a cool Halloween / Michael Meyers customized arcade stick from the tournament.
Also it was fun just because it was a road-trip, and I feel like I know the guys I traveled with a little more than I did before.
When I got home it was time to watch UFC with Jose! I have been missing watching fights at his house lately so this was long overdue. BJ Penn and Kenny Florian won as I predicted.
After UFC Mike, Brian, Cody and me went sledding at the park which was ridiculously fun. We hit a few jumps on the way down the hill, and I even got to test my frisbee theory (…that you can sled down a hill on all fours using only four frisbees.)
Normally I have a very good memory, but today I bumped into someone (on myspace) I haven’t seen since probably high school, and they told me a hilarious story about something mean they did to me, which I don’t remember at all.
Either I somehow completely forgot an event (super-rare), they are confusing me with someone else, or they are BSing me.
Kind of weird, as I’m normally not forgetful about that kinda thing. They seem positive it was me. Did I block it out? lol Am I losing my good memory in my old age?
