I got Tiff a book for her powerbook. She now has the missing manual for OS X pathner edition so now she/we can figure out all kinds of good stuff. The powerbook has got to be one of the sexiest things designed in america I tell you. Most well designed things come from other countrys. We've had our fair share of good ideas like assembly lines and such. But leave it to the Japanese, Germans, and Swiss to make all the really good stuff. Again we do have a few things but the best stuff comes from everyplace else.

Today was hell on the phones. My call times blew, moron customers. I need new work.

I did talk to a coworker about a potental project that could be very fun/cool if it works out and we are able to pull it off. If you look around the site you could find out what it is or at least make an educated guess. The down side is it's gonna cost me more $$$.

Tiffany came home with a sexy new 15inch powerbook. So I have played with that some. I look foward to playing with it more. They keyboard lights up when it gets dark in the room. It has bluetooth builtin and builtin wireless.

She brought me 2 peace offerings knowing I would be very jelous of her new lap companion. 1 Henry Rollins live at Luna Park. As well as a new sunglassholder/button pannel. The one that was in there like some of the other stuff on the car was ghetoed by a previous owner, but she is getting better...

My car needs a name. Ideas? I'm taking sugestions. My big black bavarian beauty needs a name. I've been stumpped for a name.

Tiffany was busy today. I came home to find the bedroom completely rearanged. She did this between 1st day of back to classes and work. Something most college students do normaly but I've never been a real full time student just a part time college student while unemployed. So to me its impressive. But I'm pretty lazy.

I've been gettin' a little heat again to basicaly make a me page or something along those lines. If you are lucky I just might do that. I've been makin new content and/or updating old content fairly regulary lately. I'd like to blame the nice weather, along with my car that inspired/required a page/section of its own.

The site has done what I am pretty sure is record traffic this month. Over 250MB of traffic. I am sure the additon of the photo page would account for some of it. But the site is mostly text as you know and that is a lot of text being sent out every day (between 9MB and 11MB each day)...

From the look of things nothing has changed. But the sound of things has changed in a big way. I now have Infinity speakers all around. Kappas 3 way 6's in the back and Refrence 5.25 up front. The refrence are up front because they are the only ones that would fit in the space, kappas too big. Mind you this is around $400 later... I may attempt to sell my crapass stock nokia (yes like the phone company, they do make a lot of other things its just we are in the US and we are somewhat shletered as to what they offer)...

Why must tomorrow be Monday. That seriously sucks some serious ass.

I'm posting from Elmira Oregon via Satelite linkup to the internet. Also known as Tiffany's parents place as it is laundry day.

Yesterday we found we were ill equiped to install a cold air intake on Tiffany's Celecia. We needed jack stands and more patiences than Tiffany has. A garage would be nice too. So Tiffany is going to see if she can find someplace localy to do it....

crapass. No more tunage in my ride. After fucking the the purple wire sound went away so I put it back and it came back. So i was going to experiment some more. I blew a fuse in the process, its been replaced and still no sound, as far as i can tell things are back to how they were but still not working... So I bought my self a multi-meter and tomorrow I take a look for a little while if no progress I take it to Good guys and say my shit aint working and see what they can do. Perhaps ugrade something like the amp or speakers in process but that would only delay the window tinting even more. Hopefuly I am still smart enough to get my shit working... I've got a couple ideas but nothing solid yet and working on it in the dark is a bit hard... Choices amps and or speakers or window tint and either fixing the sound or having none.

I stole, er borrowed Oceans 11 from Natahan when I fed his cat and watered his plants tonight.

I updated the Movies That Feature BMWs page. It now has more movies and movies that have BMWs but may not be featuring BMWs.

I got a service reminder for my cartoday. They think its time for an oil change because they think I've put 5000 miles on my car and its time for a change when infact I've put less than 2000 miles on it. I may take it in anyways.

I need to get a dose of city in me again. It's been a while. Perhaps up to Portland . Maybe not city maybe camping. Well I need to do something diffrent for at least a day and or night for a change.

Another gone. Today another leaves the ranks of my company. He has no plan he just wants out from what I've gathered. So I'm going to have a beer or too with him and some others tonight around 7. He wants to see my debt, I mean car.

Weekend is good. Tomorrow is laundry.

Cat well be sending her dating resume to me soon she says. so there will be another added soon. Waiting on Ern and the rest of the world now. Also made another list of the list page.

My old BMW changer is on its way to Alabama or someplace like that. It made me about $100 which is exciting. It isn't as much as other people have made with their's but hey it didn't cost me anything really. Now just to find more crap to sell .

I get paid not this but next Monday. Hopefuly sometime within that week I will get my windows tinted finaly.

My trunk is now lighter. Well brighter anyways. I replaced the trunk light. Acutaly placed it because there was nothing in the place that held the light. I also unhooked the mysterious purple cable and kinda moved it more to the front of the trunk.. Now to figure out what it goes too. I didn't bother to do that today because the weather is crapass again.

I am downloading Night of the living dead too. Cause d said its public domain now. Tiffanys dad will dig that. But I am downloading the mpeg2 version wihch means it is about 4 gigs which also means long download which also means goes to DVD easy. I'm about 1% done so far.

Collyn I'm sorry you felt underrated and not wellenough entertained. I suck I know. The cats miss you. Infact Caleb and murray are both right here on the couch. Caleb is actualy on me so I can't do much more than type.

It has taken like for damn ever but the main page has now been hit over 10,000 times. I'm sure other parts of the site such as the quotes page have been hit much much harder. Infact it does like half 5000ish hits a month if not more. I've been working on slowly but surely on making more content up for the site to pull more people in and make more for you to do while here.

My supervisor is putting my name in for a possibly parttime possition in additon to my current possition. So I'd get some time off the phones doing reports for "Workforce" which is the group that does a lot of the timecard/time/stats/scheduling crap. He said it would also be something to get me some exposure. To me that translates to "you could/should be movin up and gettin off the phones or doing more than just talkin to tards all day long". I could be off on that translation though. So I have to wait to hear on that. Reasons I was choses. Never called in sick, not late, and have good stats on the phone.

Tiffany should be on her way home by now then it's time for a field trip to the mall. Maybe an autoparts store too so I can get a light for my trunk... The mysterious purple wire goes to the trunk light. So I'm most likely gonna unhook it and see about removeing the purple wire. Maybe I will take pictures of it for documentation...

Went to Tiffany's parents and sat in the hottub for a while. I got all woozy and crap after getting out. So Tiffany drove home.

I finaly got a bid on my old changer that is for sale on ebay. Woohoo. that will be $50, for stuff. Wonder if i have anything else that i can sell on ebay... I may try to sell my old stock BMW stereo. Speaking of selling things Kala expressed interest in buying a print for Ern. Woohoo.

I think i got some comment problems worked out for the photos page. Let me know if i am wrong.

I'm sleepy. I don't want to be on the people page. The whole site is already mine and about me in some vauge sense. The car, the projects, this page, really the whole place, the mass confusion page says for the type of company I keep and people I like. And the links page goes to friends pages and pages of tools and sites I likes and use etc... I have more fun behind the scences and being somewhat mysterious.

Collyn is here. I'm 2 drinks later right now and feel fine. Tiffany is looking into powerbooks on ebay. Caleb and murray are hanging out in front of the door. Girl interupted is playing. Bunch of crazy bitches some are hot too...

I am thinking of taking tomorrow off to entertain collyn. But I dunno yet. I have until 5:30am to decide.

All work and no play makes a dull Ben. But I come home and play i guess and I do play some at work.

Tiffany should get the powerbook. Then I'd be that much closer to having one. or something.

Ive got nothing.

I've made a new list for the lists page. The new list is movies that feature BMWs. I couldn't find a list out there so I made one.

We did some spring cleaning today. The place is much cleaner now. Much much less cat hair. I also put my computer back together.

I'm really tempted to go look at 6x9s or something for the rear of my car to give me a touch more bass. But that is money that I'd rather put towards my tint at this point. But I really wanna do something to my car damnit. Maybe I will order some licence plate frames or smoked sidemarkers for much cheaper instead. Maybe i will just to the basslink and to hell with the speakers or just do speakers and to hell with the basslink.

Steak tonight. Tiffany bought a bbq yesterday I bought the meat today. So we grillin' tonight.

Collyn shows up Monday sometime. She will be here a couple nights. That should be fun.

It will be another few weeks before I do get around to getting my windows tinted. bills, timing, and modivation. But waiting won't be a bad thing. Soon though. The list for stuff for the car is not getting any shorter. Alarm/keyless/window kit, polish and wax, new headlights, new front bumber skirt thing, basslink, speakers, amp, paint, OBC, window sills, door sills, trim kits, Carbon fiber pillars, wheels, tires, engine upgrades... well you get the idea. I doubt I will do all or even half of those things its just they all look like fun and or cool.

I need more and new posters for the den. BMW posters but I can't find any to my liking right now so I may making my own or enlisting the help of Tiffany or Lisa for help making a poster or 2 of my own...

Another great show. Way diffrent than last year. Excelent shit. I too say "Fuck Mars" when the govt will either provide a guy with Spina Bifida enough money for the meds to make the pain asscoiated with his diease tolerable, OR a roof over his head. Not both. Rollins met this guy. This guy can't work he wants to but no one wants him so he gets money from the government. Why do we want to divert BILLIONS of dollars to do this when we have enough damn problems here.

Seeing Rollins makes me want a job that is going to make a diffrence to someone who needs it. I help people who think they need it all damn day. The people I help just need a fucking clue... I'm gonna work some on my resume.

I was going to tint this weekend until I found out yesterday the place i was gonna take it was closed saturdays. I figured thats what I was gonna do with my tax return money so fuck it I'm gonna do it. But I can't until next week sometime. So I'm gonna make some other calls and get some other quotes.

My list fortoday. Make calls about tinting. Wash the car again, Maybe go take some pictures of stuff someplace. Portland? Salem? Lunch? Tard Con? Just going to have to wait and see how bored or modivated I get.

1:29pm: Washed the car. Next time I think it needs a wax as well. Not looking foward to that. But cat has offered up help when the time comes. I'm sure I could get Tiffany to help too. I also want to polish it to remove some of those annoy tiny scrashes in the paint....

Ultimatly i want a paint job and a garage to keep the car in but thast not happening anytime in the visible future.

Now what to do with the rest of the day.

I've done some of the base code for the tardcon thing. Not that anyone here is interested.

2:47pm: new photo page is mostly up. Expect more later. it kinda sucks but it works.

I've come up with a new way of rating stupidity on any given day. I call it Tard Con. RIght when i left work it was near 2 but haing at 3. 5 is low 1 is high. Much like the Def-CON of the military. 1 the cusotmer shouldn't even be allowed to operate a phone in most cases. But I'm gonna work on a tard-con page that will allow updates from mulitple techs and average them out or something like that. to display an accurate level of stupidity.

It rained and my car is damn filthy again. I need a garage. A better job more tools for and more money for more cooool cars. I know I'm as bad as the next guy because I think my car is the greatest thing in the world. But at least its better than these. Now just to decide on the tint... Crapass. Tint place not open weekends. Maybe i should do the basslink kit 1st then? hmmmm...

Anyways photo page has random feature now. I am thinking I will take it live soon and then addmore features and crap later. After it goes live tard-con project gets worked on.

Mt neck, it hurts. maybe its my head. What ever it is it sucks.

Work was again lame. New job needed. Looking into it. One day left this work week.

Friday hopefuly won't be lame. I doubt it will be lame. I may just sit around in my boxers all day. Maybe not.

I was bad and didn't really do crap to the new photo page lastnight. I was busy flipping out about something else after I posted.

i still can't decide on the damn window tinting thing... crap crap crap.

Maybe I shouldn't get my windows tinted this week. I looked over what else had to be paid. I'd have enough to pay the insurance, the rent, the tinters, and that is about it. I guess thats not True as I have more than enough right now to do it. But I'd rather have a bit more set aside for after its all done and over with. But will I have the dough to do it that much later... grr... I hate these choices... I need to decide soon too because I have to make an apotiment and shit. thoughts?

I got a good little tiny piece of code done for the photopage yesterday... It took way too long for such a seemingly simple feature. But it seems to work flawlessly so far. I will most likely add more to it later tonight. The random feature will most likely be next on the list. But much more useful once I have more than 3 or so images up for it.

I need more content. What I don't know. More car stuff? Like Tiffanys car? Your Car? Computer stuff? More Lists? . More data? hmm. The idea of forums has been tossed around a bit. Anything any of you want to see more of? or see at all? Perhaps I should start putting my more random ideas on line in some way.

the week is 1/4 of the way done for me. Thats right 4 day work week and 3 day weekend. Thursday night Rollins does his spoken word thing then Friday is Rollin's day. A floating holiday in my world. If he comes back next year expect the same. Now where did I put my tickets?

The window tinting may actually happen this weekend or week sometime. I've also finaly reached a 1000 miles on people page uses. Initaly the page will only be small set of images, but I plan to expand it when my webspace expands and expand it as the features expand. Infact I just did some more work on it, yes i stoped writing the post and worked some on the new photo page. Perhaps by the end of the week?

Didn't make it to the beach. Got side tracked. Well Tiffany did. But we did go for a nice drive. I only took one picture that was a car in front of us that had a herbalife sticker in the window that I plan to send to Rob.

Game night was good. I heard good things about the place I plan on gettiny my windows tinted once I do get around to it. Hopefuly sometime in the next month or so. Tiffany installed her clear bumperlights and her blue reverse lights too. She has a Cold Air Intake on the way as well as some HID bulbs for the headlights and some other random stuff for her car too. She has had her car for less time than me and has already done more to it than I've really even thought about doing to my car.... Well maybe not but you get the idea. All that I have done is the stereo so far...

4 day work week for me. Woohoo. To bad it has yet to start. I need a new job.

5:50pm: I've nearly got a new photo page ready to go up.

We are going to the coast after Tiffany gets off work. This will make me late for Nathans game night. Also may piss Rob off as he was gonna get a ride with me but I feel like be irresponsible to my friends and just having a good time with some other friends. Should be fun. Hopefuly I will get some decent pics.

I got Friday off work this week. Cause I'm going to Rollins Thrusday night. So I may take Friday to go vist Cat, or just sit around in my underwear.

Window tinting is going to be around $225 from a place in town called Dark Side. The tint will come with a lifetime waranty on the film and labour. So a few paychecks from now I'm gonna do that. Then get a basslink kit and build a harness of some sort for it. When and I get to those things I will update my car page.

The weather here is not as great today as is was all through the week. But The coast is supposed to be nice says TIffany.

Tiffany is getting a new laptop. Some of you think I'm bad about toys she hasn't even had hers a year yet and she is already getting a new one. I've had this one for nearly 2 years now...

Parking in the alley sucks. My car gets extra dirty extra quick.... Washed last weekend. Now it is dirty as hell. I may drive it without washing it but not in the daylight. Anal i know but it is shameful to drive a dirty car that is so pretty when its clean. Some cars it just doesnt matter how dirty they are because a) they are ugly b) they look good dirty c) no one cares cause it is an unremakable car. Maybe I will start parking on the street. It has to be better than the dirt and gravel alley.

We were gonna go to the coast tomorrow but then Tiffany remembered she has to work from 10am-1pm tomorrow so those plans are pretty much gone as I've got stuff I'm doing in the evening and laundry has to get done sometime this weekend. Maybe next weekend.

I should get to work on a new photos type page. I've have gotten a couple complaints now. I think I've got a clue to how I'm gonna do it. But it may take a while as lisa has my mysql and php books. I maybe able to hack something together to work in the mean time. The new one would be much smaller but still have comments, possibly ratings... I dunno still got to think about it some then do it.

Tomorrow is Friday and the weather this week has been super. Saturday is game night at Nathans.

Tiffany got her clear tail lights and installed them today so I will see those once she gets off work. I've been thinking about getting smoked lights for my car sometime after i tint my windows and do about a million and a half other things too it... I really need to go someplace and get some good shots of my car car. TIffanys too... Ern if you get your self a nice bavarian girly take some pics I will post them for ya...

Oh ya where is Ern's dating resume? I'm gonna see how cat's is comeing next time I e-mail here witch will be soon I'm sure.

I setup a forum for my friend Nathan over at ihatecancer.org. So if you hate cancer get over there and join the forums. I will most likely be setting up a forum around here or my other domain soon. So stay tuned.

Yesterday I bought Futurama Season 3 on DVD. A damn funny show I tell you. 2 more seasons left to buy but yet to be released too.

I want too many things for my car... oh well. Anyone want to buy any pictures that I've taken or something? place an advertisement?

I always thought getting a car would be a bad idea. I used to think it was the maintneance or the insurance. I realize now those are not the reasons it is a bad idea for me. The reasons it is a bad idea for me is 1) big toy to put lots of little expensive toys in 2) fun toy that can take on custom stlyings and such 3) all the little toys all the mods expensive as hell. A decent Cold Air Intake is $200 or more. Smoked lights all around around $400. We wont even talk about the other things like superchargers or alarms or supercool laser/radar decterors.

So i was hangin out on the street corner waiting to see Cat to flag her in. When Megan an old friend from HS rolls by and stops and runs up and gives me a huge hug. I haven't seen her since graduation. Turns out she lives like a couple blocks away. Exchanged numbers again and have some plans to hang out sometime. Then Cat called I went and found her and we hung out.

The weather was great again today. It is such a tease too because I know, you know any one from Oregon knows it's not gonna last more than a week if that even.

70$ later and a few hours my car now has a Mp3 changer in the trunk. Also I kinda fixed my headliner. Also it is a great day out. Warm sunny dry. I had too much fun abusing my ear while driving home from changer install. Windows down stereo too loud and going to fast and really enjoying the inline 6 that can pick up and go when you tell it to no matter what speed your traveling at. Soon Windows get tinnted. The jury is still out which to get Alarm or just a Keyless entry kit. The car is 10 years old not exactly high on the steal me list, like hondas and such 2 I have insurance 3 nothing of value other than the Deck and Changer in the car.

Back to the grind tomorrow. 6:30-3:30 all week. Cat will be around on Tuesday that should will be fun as I don't see her enough.

Mini golf was on the agenda for today. But Nathan bailed, party cause Eddie is hard to get a hold of and Nathan wanted to work on his truck and his wife wanted to work on the yard. Better this way anyways as I'm not a big fan of mini golf...

Tiffany has ordered stuff for her car. Things like clear and euro style lights, bumbperlights. And she is looking for headlights of other color temps like blues and such.

I'm getting my MP3 changer installed to morrow at 11am. I've already started making CDs to go in it. Lots and lost of musical goodness can go with me now.

Cat maybe comeing down later this week to hang out some. Possibly for some pictures to be takin as well. That should be cool its been like forever since I've seen her.

Washed my car again today.

I am damn tired. I shouldn't be this tired I got to sleepin like 2 hours but I did stay up a bit later than usual as well. I am about ready to call it a night but that would be the easy way out. I think I will stay up for a while longer poking at things around here.

Ya. I'm getting the changer. Partly to help Tiffany out partly to help me out. Partly cause its fun. Partly cause more music is better. She has her appoitment tomorrow to get her new deck installer in her Celica.

I think I am going to get a newish photo page together sometime soon here. Hopefuly with the cream of the crop pictures and php/mysql. Maybe make a random feature or only make it random and comments again. I've just got to pick the best of the photos for it and start the project....

A guy at work got boxed to day. 'Boxed?' you ask, well they bring a box to your desk and you put all your personal stuff in it and take it home with you and give them your badge and they walk you to the door with your box. Fired is normaly what it's known as. I know him and used to sit next to him all the sudden he is gone, kind of a trip and fucked up.

Tiffany's new car goes VRIIM mine goes Vroom.

It is a good thing tomorrow is payday. Cause I am almost poor. Stupid insurance and rent and DSL bills all coming at the same time kicking my bank account right in the nuts and making it drop to the ground like a man just kicked in the junk.

Work work work.

I can't decide wether or not to buy Tiffany's old Mp3 changer and stick it in my car. I prolly shouldn't I've already got MP3 and it would be a pain to wire and well as I already said, I'm poor. But then again the next couple 3 pay checks should be bigger because of the slave labour manditory over time. Perhaps I will see how this check looks and then decide.

Tomorrow is friday. I've got no plans for the weekend. I feel as if I should make some. Kim has been buggin me to go up and see a free movie with her. I almost wonder if that is about something or not.

Bumped into Eric today after work he was walkin with his daughters. That was kind of a trip to run into him the day after he left ECE kinda figured I'd never see him again too. Also I swear I saw someone in real life that I've talked to online for the last year. I don't know if she saw/reqonized me...

Tiffany will be driving a 2002 Celica home tonight the BMW is still being fixed by the dealer but the costs for this set of Fixes alone could come to abotu $2100. $500 for the air pump which BMW says looks good but will replace because the comptuer says so. The next part is around $1600 and that is the computer that says the air pump is broken, meaning the computer is broken. So she will have her self a fun little 5 speed 1.8 liter car.

Tomororw is thursday. The next friday and friday is Payday. Then the 10th is my 1st car payment. Then the next week I see Henry Rollins and hopefuly get the Friday off and depending on schedules and such go vist with Kala up in Portland or something like that... Then the following week is Collyn...

The customers at work are sucking my will to live. Dumber and dumber everyday. I actualy had a guy who asked how to close a window. That was pretty much the end of that call. I had him get a local tech to take of things for him as over the phone could have been dangerous to the computer and my sanity.

Its very nice out. again I'm having postniesa. I for got what I was going to mention or talk about.

Anyways work is work. And a whole lot of nothing else is going on right now.

I have had the itch to start taking more pictures again. Also my hosting account will suposedly be upgraded sometime this spring (may 12ish). The upgrade will mean something like 500 Mb of storage which means I will be much much more likely to put a few more pictures up on the site. Of course not my mega huge ones but scaled down versions instead. The strange part of my wanting to take pictures is more wanting to work with people as models and such but I'm a bit to timmid to be asking people I'd like to photograph to pose and such. Maybe I should talk to tiffany about somehow converting the den into a micro-mini-tiny studio of some kind. It would be tricky as hell but could most likely be done... Eh we are lazy and it would most likely be tooo small...

I need to make more friends around here.... too bad I'm so anti-scocial... or well at least slow to make friends...

Tiffany wasn't able to get a good enough deal on theother cars she saw so she still has her BMW and they are going to fix it for her of course. They also are givng her a free oil change but its not really related to whats going on.

Mine is still running fine. I think. Hopefuly the nice weather holds out for the rest of the week.

One of my work friend's lsat day is Wednesday. Things are not going to be the same around there without Eric around. I've started to make another friend at work though.

Lsat week is over. This one starting. Another just the same. 9 Hours on the clock and a half hour so I don't have to stay any longer than I must.
