Just want to let everyone know what's going on with me and why I haven't been posting as much as I want to...
Wednesday was my last final, so I am officially FINISHED with my junior year of college... and that is a scary thought that I'm only a year away from getting my degree. Wed night Nicole took me out to Claim Jumper to celebrate and I pounded a "Widowmaker" (HUGE burger) Unfortunately though I havent had any time to relax and enjoy because I have to be out of my apt. by sat at noon, and my new apt wont be ready until the 25th, which means that I have to move all of my shit over to my brothers, which is about an hour south. Unfortunately I'm not totally sure where I'll be staying during that week and a half, but hopefully it is a place where there is internet, so i can catch up, becuase whereever I end up, I'll have NOTHING to do for over a week! |

I went to the Claim Jumper website hoping they had a picture of that burger, but the best I could find was a description:
WIDOW MAKER BURGER
Double thick Cheddar cheese, Applewood smoked bacon, sweet onion rings,avocado, shredded lettuce, mayo and red relish
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm |

Thought of that myself.
Hey, while we're on the subject of you, you like Wilco a good bit, don't you? I've gotten my grubby little hands on about 5 or 6 live shows of theirs, and they're great. I'm sure you'd like them... |

| Jason, every fan of music should own Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, it is simply a masterpiece. Also, they just announced a bonus EP for everyone who has that cd, you just go to the site, put in the cd, and BOOM 5 new songs. I've never heard their live stuff before, but I have seen the DVD made on them.. that shows YHF being made. |

The show I was listening to when I posted was from 1997. So it's before they went all wacked out like YFH. I probably lean toward liking it better because sometimes they just decide to go off on their instruments, and they do, and a good time is had by all.

Kevin!
Are you telling me I am going to go into "IM away message" withdrawal???? 
You have to go somewhere with a computer hook up, damnit! You know how much I love your away messages. Two things I do every day, read my daily "Dilbert" calendar and check out Kev's funny away messages!
I will look forward to the 25th! |

Hey Kev, Are you still eating raw meat?! LOL! Hoover is the same way. I can't watch someone eating it that way! I'm a well done kinda eater! That was an excellent day we all had. I had the salmon if I remember correctly. Thanks again for picking me up that day, it was a blast! |

Greetings all you crazy cats! Tis' the night before I move back to Irvine, and I managed to get on to my sister's internet (but it is an axtremely slow and frustrating 28k AOL connction, that I can only withstand for a few more mins) But I wanted to thank you all for the kind words, especially Pam for giving props to my away messages because I do make an honost effort to make them original.(I can't stand messages that say "I'm away")
Anyways, my sister, her husband and two kids ended up going to Mammoth (ski town) for two weeks, and they needed a house sitter to watch the place and take care of the dog, two brand new chocolate-lab puppies, and a ginnea-pig, what PERFECT timing considering I would be homeless during this exact time! Well, It has been a very wonderful and relaxing week, as I have been doing much sitting on my ass while watching more TV in this past week than I've watched all year at school. The first night I got here my body finally gave out and I fell asleep on the couch at around 7:30pm and slept through the night... surprising for me because I usually do not go to bed until at least midnight if not 1 or 2am every night... but I think I finally was able to sleep to well because I don't have the stress of school or moving anymore. I've also been enjoying their brand new spa with some ridiculous amount of jets... 80 or so I think, all designed to give you a full body massage as you change seats in the spa.
Fortunatly all of my hard work paid off because on Sat. I found out my grades and I got 3 A's and 1 B which is the best I've done at UCI so far. I even made the dean's list with a 3.75 GPA. I'm very proud of myself because in the past I've managed a few A-'s but to get 3 solid A's was a tough task in college.
Tommorow I move in to my new (and much more expensive apartment and I have to also buy a bed and a desk since my past 3 years of on campus living have all been furnished. I also have to turn in my numorous aplications because after the nice break I've had since Wherehouse went out of business, I'm starting to hurt for cash, and with this new, more expensive place, I'll need more $$$. Virgin Megastore looked promising... and I also have apps for Tower, Borders, Barnes & Noble, and Second Spin records. Unfortunatley, with money bing kinda tite, we obviously had to intall water, gas, and electricity, and we may have to put a hold on internet (again I'm mad because I've gotten free university sped internet for the past 3 years) so I'm not really sure how long it will be until I have internet at my new place, but hopefully it won't be too long.
I can't wait to hear about your Peter Gabriel experience Pam. Did you hear that he is offering proffesionally mastered live recordings of all the Live shows from this tour for 25 bucks a pop? I was super excited and am definately going to order one. Chck out his website in case you didn't hear about this very awesome new idea of Peter's.. well I think Phish has a similar deal, but I don't think they offer mastered discs.
Well, unfortunately that is it for now, I wish I could reply to all the new topics because it looks like there are some great new ones... I promise I will soon! I'll talk to you all very soon!
PEACE! |

Jeesh Pam, you sure know how to get a guy in anticipation... right now I am on campus... using a computer in the science library  but I called yesterday to ask about cable and internet and I think we are going to call again today to have them hook up both because there is a discount on internet if you get cable tv through them too. I'll be sure to look for you online as soon as I am hooked up, which should be very soon now.
The move went pretty good, we are still not completely organized, but my room is looking good. I got a new desk and a new bed from IKEA and both are great. I also interviewed for a job at a record shop called Second Spin and I have an interview next week with Virgin Megastore. I'll keep you updated. |

medium rare???? WIMP!!! RARE all the way! Wave that thing over a flame and serve it to me dripping. Sometimes when ordering I have to emphasize just how rare I want it. I find some places won't serve something RARE, and in these instances I find myself not returning to such a ass-backwards establishment.
Guess I have gone on now about something this thread isn't really about so to the topic at hand, Glad to see you back Kev, hope all is well and hopefully see you in CA toward the end of the year. |
Peace & Keep the Faith

WOW!! How do you even find a place that makes em RARE anymore, after the whole mad-cow deal I find it hard to find places that make em medium rare.
Back on the update news, we now have high speed internet and cable tv at our new place. My next goal is to take some pictures, host and then post them so you all can see. |
