Alright, I guess I haven’t been posting as much I as should be. And I don’t know if there’s much more to tell than nothing. Driving back and forth from home to davis every week has put miles on my car and eaten a sizable hole in my income. Home’s fun sometimes, when I find a friend. Davis is hot, too hot sometimes. I think god hates this city.
It’s late and there’s work to be done, most of my clothes are dirty, and my room smells like feet. I guess I’ll clean for the coming school year, maybe the gods will be gracious.

Okay, so we haven’t written anything up here for a couple weeks, and I have to say that we’re sorry. But, I can only really speak for myself.
The past couple weeks have been a blur of driving home, working, doing homework, and driving back to davis. Somewhere in there I even got to party with Brian when he was in town. Oh yeah, and I forgot to mention my trip to fanime con. Well then, this shows you how much stuff I have been doing, now to go into detail.
A couple weeks ago my roommates and I traveled to San Jose for the weekend to attend fanime con. As usual there were only a couple items good enough to buy in the dealer room, and every time I picked something to watch in the video rooms my roommate Chris would complain that it was lame, but he never picked anything better so I just accepted his ineptness and called him stupid. If there was one lesson I learned it’s that I cannot stand more than one day at any anime convention. But it was fun.
Last week I started my job working for the econ dept. here at UC Davis. My job right now includes throwing up some new and exciting site designs for the main webpage and making fun of my bosses as they sit behind me and try to animate stuff in flash. It’s not too bad, except that I will only be allowed to work twenty hours a week during the summer. If you want to bug me while I’m at work you can add garbage prime to your buddy list and send me naked pictures, my bosses love those.
This past weeked it was requested of me to go home to Nevada County and check on some stuff at my dad’s work. Dutifully I drove home on friday and spent most of the day on saturday fixing my car, replacing my water pump and replacing an essential part in the steering section. My car should be in good working order now, but don’t trust what I say. On saturday night Val visited me and I took her to see the newest installment of Harry Potter. I have to say that I enjoyed this movie much more than the first two, if only because the story was a little more grown up than the others.
Well then, I think that’s about it for now. Finals are coming up the end of this week and I plan on running myself over with my own car immediately following. Wish me luck!
