I had another post almost ready to go then I never finished and rebooted. So it's gone now, damnit.

I cleaned Nina up some. Wiped some of the engine compartment down, vacummed, conditoned the leather, and of course her weekly bath. I could make the cleaning of my car so dirty. But I will leave it up to your sick little minds.

Tring to avoid having to reload my OS on my desktop computer. It has been acting up lately. So far I've just defraged my drives. It took like most of the night to primary drive and thankfuly not quite as long to do the secondary drive.

Made some other changes to the site here and there. The forums stlye is getting there but plenty of tweaking left I'm sure.

So far so good. The weekend has been good. So laid back and relaxed for me. 2 days just isn't enough to shake the work crap off, however 3 is. More would be better but I think that is more of a vacation. Speaking of wich i need to see when i get some vacation time then take some and go someplace...

Tomorrow is a bbq at Nathan's. That should be good. Tiffany hangs her stuff upt tonorrow too. Around the same time so a minor timing conflict. I'm sure we will work something out. No matter.

I've got my eye on a couple potental new toy/projects. If it anything goes down I will post it here of course. It would be another one of my geeky projects.... I still have to find out if I am getting the toy to make a project out of. Then I have to decide the project as I have a few ideas at this point.

It is 7:45pm. I am not dressed yet. Just pajama pants and a fleece. Such a lazy day. I've been a little productive, as I've gotten ever closer to getting the Forums to look like the rest of the site.

Traffic is down a little bit this month compared to last. But that ok. It has still been on a upward trend ever since it started like 3 years ago now. I now push over 200Mb every month previously I pushed like 10-20Mb a month and I had a lot more pictures then too. I just gotta keep comin up with content and ideas.

I'm gonna go see if I can come up with some new ideas for the site or work on it some more, or maybe I won't.... I've got a huge list of things to do and change/adjust/features to add/ around here that I hope to get to some time... But I'm lazy.

2 people had their last day at work today. That i know of. Mark and Doug. Both great guys. Doug is gonna work as a parts guy for a BMW bike shop and Mark is gonna go to Yosemmity and work there...

Gonna go to a dinner thing at little later and maybe have drinks er sumthin.

Another 3 day weekend for me and holiday pay for monday yay.

Yes Kala I realized that the 25th is your bday. I say move the BBQ north and I will pay for your ticket to the show... cmon you know you want to chris will prolly be going too.

Paul Oakenfold will be playing the Crystal Ball Room again on the 25th of June. Gotta order my tickets soon. Now to find some other people to come too... Chris will most likely be game. Tiffany will be goin too.

Tomorrow is Friday and I woudln't have it anyother way because today was stupid. Customers were pretty stupid. If they were chicken they would have be extra crispy.

Just added another movie to the BMW movies list...

Still gots many changes to make to the templates and crap for the forums to be how I want them to be.

Ever so slowly I am working on that forum thing. one of those things that has been buggin me and I had been putting it off because i knew it was gonna be a pain in my ass. I've made a tiny bit of progress but not much. Colors are there just not in the right places. Fonts and some other colors need to be adjusted.

Work blew ass today. Then I came home and tried to do Tiffany a favor by droping her Powerbook off to be sent back for repairs. The only problem was the directions were to vauge for me cause I don't know where anything is around here yet so I went the wrong way on Belt line and ended up praticaly at Tiffanys work then turned around and went WAYYY back the other way and found the road I was supposed to find then had to turn and circle around a few times to find the address on my sheet with the directions. The place was suppsed to be DHL but it was a renta shop, basicaly a storage unit on roids. The place was a garage door with a door next to it and #57 out of 60 or so units and no DHL logo or tucks anyplace nor a place to put more than say 1 truck. Maybe I was just way off on location. I would like to blame the internet and DHL for this because they are where those directions and address came from...

I need to eat something. maybe kill some things in a game, to blow off some steam or something...

oh and I added Nathan's Show me.

I've used all the letters of the alphabet in the 1st letter of my titles this month. Now I can go back to normal random ness

I've started the slow slow process of updating the stlye of the damn forums. It's harder than you might think to make your own styles or modify them. It may take me like the rest of my life to do it and get it right. But I will get it one of these days.

Ate steak.

Well I'm gonna go fuck with the forums some more.

Bond night again. Tonights Feature is You Only Live Twice. Only like 16 more movies to go.

Nina. I think that will be the name of my Car. Tiffany has named her car Beatris. Causer her plates have bea on them. I just picked mine from a list of german names and picked one I liked.

I've slowly started work on some of the things that need to be done around here.

I want more time off work. Work has beeen driving me sooo nuts. I seriously need to find new work, doing nearly anything else would be better at this point. I just have a couple problems. 1) weak resume 2) too lazy to look and try for new work 3) The Oregon econ is somewhere near the Titantic.

Well suposedly I got another 3 day weekend comin up. I think. I hope.

I've added a new section to the forums. A place for reviews, recomendations, warnings etc. I'm sure we will hear plenty from ern on that one. But as always I encourage everyone to speak up, damnit.

Tiffany's party was decent again like last year a smallish turn out but still fun. Even though Lisa never showed like she said she would but I will give her plenty of crap about that tomorrow.

I think i'm figuring out that if i try to go much beyoned buzzed by drinking I just end up uncomfortable and kinda sick feeling. That usualy only last an hour or so but I's still not so fun.

Been cleaning up and preparing for Tiffany's party all morning. Which should be a good time tonight. It will be the 1st party I've been too with a slide projector....

I've uploaded a few new photos to the photo page. I do need to make some more changes to it. Such as titles of the image going in the title of the page. perhaps rework the comment thingy some, and perhaps proceedulize/compartmentalize the code some for further flexiblity. Perhaps categorys and such as well... Just another thing on the list.

well I'm gonna do other stuff now. Maybe work on the photos page... maybe not..

I didn't work today. Cause I didn't want to. Fuck the man.

Tomorrow is Tiffanys Bday party. Her slide projector showed up today. I had to take it apart and fix it cause the switch was broken. So now it just doesn't go off.

Bought a optical cable for the stereo/ps2 media player for the party. So it can play music with out the TV needing to be on.

3 day weekend woohoo...

The week is getting closer to done. Which is good cause the weekend shouldn't be too bad and work is wearing on me a lot this week. Although I am looking foward to my next couple of pay checks. Mark will be leaving work next week. That makes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 at least people that i know of that have left there since i've started there. And I don't blame a single one of them if I had someplace to go work I would sooo be gone. At least I'm not working this weekend.

I want a Z1. A BMW Roadster that was around in the 80s but not here in the US. The doors went up and down. Perhaps someday I will get one. When I'm rich and can import one of them.

34 yester day 35 today. Yesterday I took the most calls on the team. All the while feelin not soo great. Today I may have done it again. I really hate doing it too. Talkin to soo many tards all day long. My supervisor did tell me that if i need to go just to send him an email and let him know, in response to my minor complaints of not feelin %100. So I may take tomorrow and/or Friday off and sleep lots and do mostly nothing.

The week is comin to an end quick enough but pay day is not as it's more than a week off still. Oh well I think I will be ok until then.

The weather is great again today. After rather crapy yesterday weather wise.

I saw lots of pretty BMWs on my way home. A few 3s a Z4 a couple nice 5s. The M5 wasn't next door today but was yesterday and I took some pictures of it...

I saw the M5 on my way home from work again. This time I got my camera and went back and took some pictures of it. I also got some good pics of my car on sunday I should put those on the pics page... I'm also thinking about opening up the pic page to others... but maybe not...

The week is strange so far. I woke up and thought it was Monday then realized on the way to the shower that it's infact Tuesday. Work wasn't tooo sucky today but it is work so never great. Unless there is something broken like the phones.

Made a minor update to the site map.

Natahan today said I never update my blog and it doesn't have comments. I don't think he has found my blog to be honest. And Angi asked if I have any extra webspace wonder whats that about.

Started making my little car movie with Tiffany last night. So far I've got just over a min of used footage. Which means I've got about 6 more to go. so I need to film for about an hour I guess cause we took about 6-10 min of film last night. I've got to figure out some ticks in premier to make the whole thing more fun. But I can't expect too much on my 1st try. Can I?

I just sat down to post and the murray cat is curled up on me purrring away. He is a very friendly kitty. Cute too.

Worked extra over time today because of a long call. That just means more $$ come payday...

Tiffanys bday is this weekend. So whos comin? There will be booze.

Tonight is more Bond movies with Lisa as soon as she shows up after she gets off work. Tonights feature is Thunderball.

Tiffany got her cute little DV camera. I am gonna give her some money too help pay for it as her birthday gift. She agreed to this before she got it so it's ok and not a total cop-out or anything. Now just to make some fun little movies with it. Of course I'm thinking car videos I'm sure a few other things will come of it as well.

Game night was good as usual. And again I got my ass handed to me over and over on a few games. I did manage to hang on to it for several rounds of Mario Cart and Wario Ware.

The weekend is nearly over already. Which is craptastic. At least I didn't have to work yesterday and hopefuly I won't have to work on this coming saturday. And at least I will have a 3 day weekend later this month.

So the site is another year older now, as of the 12th. And I now have 500mb of space and 25000MB transfer limit per month. This means I have room for more pictures. More content and more fun.

Despite our best efforts I wasn't able to avoid overdraft charges on my account again this week but I should be ok after this as long as my spending stays fairly low like it has been lately.

Game night and maybe laundry today. Possibly cake and Ice cream too at Tiffs parents house as they are celebrating a bunch of bdays. Like all the Aprils and Mays or something like that.

Tiffany was teasing the idea of a DV camera last night. So I may steal it and make car vids and other random stuff..

I found out that we are/were around 800 calls behind schedule. We made 80 up yesterday. And they expect to make around another 200 up on saturday. Hopefuly we can make enough up with OT and volunteers doing the weekends to make it so I don't do Saturdays... Work has been rough this week. Some of days took me back to HS days when in track and XC and your just dead but have to push on exhausted type feeling. Very strange...

I'm currently rencoding some videos like that M3 vs RS4 so they can be easliy droped to a DVD or played on more systems not to mention on the TV with PS2 media player Tiff has.

I just got back from dropping Tiffany's dad off at home. Cause he needed a ride and it's far too long of a walk, around 20 miles. Kinda ended up as one of those job talk conversations. But not talking about work but talking about carreer and plans and such. A bit strange as I had a simmilar conversation with a stranger on the phone at work today. The stranger said he moved and all he had was a porche and all his stuff was in the porche. I don't think I could fit all my stuff in my BMW. I could prolly get close though...

They speak of making us work on a few Saturdays. They wish to rob me of my weeked. They do not deserve my weekend the only one who deserves my weekend is me goddamnit. This weekend it's voluntary next weekend it may not be. It may not be it's hard to say at this point but I am not happy about this prospect. FUCK MY EMPLOYER AND DAMN THEM TO HELL! Just because they can't meet the projections they set a at the start of the month. They shouldn't have agreed to so many damn calls when infact they couldn't do it with current staff and situation. They already got us working out asses off and then they ask for our weekends? Fuck them!

At least tomorrow is Friday. Saturday I'm not working but am gonna play video games at Nathans in the evening. Tomorrow I just may attempt to get drunk on prinicipal but will prolly stop before I get there cause I'm lazy.

I get paid tomorrow night around mid night which is good and I supposedy got a 3 day weekend comin up too..

Lisa is comin over after work (once shes off) for more Bond movies. Tonight is Goldfinger. On another note Pierce won't be taking the roll of 007 again from the looks/sounds of things.

They are extending our hours this week. Translating to even more OT. Which will look good on the next couple of pay checks. Mmmm money to play with. Well pay with at least. Perhaps I can get my window tint soonish? Mmmm sexy car...

The week seems to be draging on a bit. But it is more than half way over now so I'm mostly ok with it at this point. As if I had much of a choice about it before.

I've got nothin today. So I'm gonna go do something else now.

So I've had the urge to start playin with video. I lack a decent DV camera. I am however able to use my trusty Sony 717 to make videos of a lower res/quality. So I've begun playing. If I ever come up with something I'm proud of I will post links etc. Ever since that damn Top Gear with the M3 and Audi I've been more obessed with such a venture and using the same song. This venture however will be much much more sane than that as I can't go nuts like that. yet? Not to mention I'm a few hands short. I may have to enlist some help.

Work was like yesterday.

So honda sends me some piece of junk mail. Something regarding bands I don't care about. Some how honda is sponsoring the Civic tour. I'm not intersted in that band or Honda in the least bit why the hell are they sending this to me(no offence honda owners, kala).

I've got to go fix a type-oh

Took a bunch of calls today. Much more on track already. Pissed a few customers off with policy and me being too lazy to really help them. Diverted a couple cusomters to other support or to do something else so I didn't have to help. Not a bad day. Last week a customer asked if felt good about at the end of a call. I told her it doesnt matter how I feel. Which it doesnt't. But honestly I didn't give a shit about her problem or how and was very happy to get off the phone with her. Bitchy people and stupid people get zero empathy from me. All the customers think they have a uniqe problem. The ones who hear others have had it makes them think they are entitled to free support because others are stupid too... Don't think I go a whole day and don't help anyone because I do help lots of people sometime they don't know it but I do I just am selective about how much help I will provide to any givin person. I've said too much...

Game night is this weekend. That should be good/cool/fun as usual. Except its over promptly at 11 cause Nathan says so. Partly cause his wife is carring his daughter rignt now and kinda hormnal or something say Nathan.

Gas prices are nuts around here...

Finaly saw Kill Bill vol. 1. Good movie but I don't think I loved it near as much as everyone else. I could be wrong but I dunno if blood would squirt that much if it does it prolly would squirt that long.

Couple site updates on the way down the pike. 1 the sitemap. Its up just not linked from anyplace other than here right now. I've got to find a good place to work that in. The other is a update to the showme page. The page will include the title of the sent work and how manny comments have been posted. If I can manage to turn my brain on I may also beable to work out little next and previous links like in the photo page.

Had some steak tonight. Tasty stuff.

It is after 1pm on Saturday and I'm still not dressed. And I am loving it. I do belive there are plans to go to Tiffanys parents later this evening for early mothers day stuff and some other stuff that Tiffany is doin with Rachel, picture stuff I think.

So we had a couple of thunder storms the last couple of days. That was kinda cool. Watched bond movies with Lisa and Tiffany. Well only one with Tiffany cause she showed up at the end of the Dr. No.

So we just droped Lisa off after the end of From Russia With Love and it's very wet out still from the rain that we are so used to here in oregon. So I decided to play a little bit with my car. So I push the throttle a little more than I should have and whip around a corner from a stop. The back broke lose and went a bit wide and then the traction control/LSD kicks in and makes it all ok before anything could go to wrong. Tiffany didn't like it so much. I thought it was great fun. Normaly she is very hard to get to break free but the wet helps a lot... I should find a parking lot and do it more sometime with the ACS+T off (traction/stablity control)

So next week marks the (counts) 3rd year of junknstuff. Which means it's time to pay up. Unfourtuantly more than I have in my account right now. But I am pretty sure they will let me skate until next Saturday when I'm paid again. I will get about 5 times as much space and bandwidth once I do pay again too. That means lots more room for pics and stuff.

Lisa is here. We watchin bond movies. Lisa is very thrilled with just the opening credits. We have plans to watch all of them, in order, over the span of the next few weeks.

Work blew more than normal today. For most everyone from what I hear.

Weekend is less than 24 hours away. As usual this is a good thing. Cause work blows. I am so very tempted to be sick tomorrow and get my self a 3 day weekend. But it wouldn't be a good idea. It almost makes me want my job at MSA back at least i made a ton of money workin there.

Got a few projects for the site on the list. download links section being one of them. Perhaps that will just get a section on the forums. Perhaps a dedicated picture place and some other stuff too. Also gonna work on a page for a friend. Also got a new showme that I've got to comeup with something for, the site seems to becoming more and more active lately. If not more active I've at least been directing more attention too it recently. But not really content making area, more along the lines of keepin things goin and updated. I've got ideas for more content but I've gotta get around to making them after I do the other updates.

blah

Today is not Friday. Tomorrow is not Friday and thats too bad. Cause Friday is good.

Work again blew. Many stupid people with stupid problems that I don't want to fix, and can't fix.

I found that I can access junknstuff.net from work today. For the longest time it had been blocked. Why it has been unblocked is a mystery to me but hey thats ok. Now I just have something else to distract me form the bordom and crapness of the day. But I don't plan on spending much time here to avoid getting my self in trouble.

Lisa was supposed to come over for bond today but didn't because she has some side project that she is working on for a client and is gonna make some money so she has do get some work done to make that money. No biggie.

The fourms are starting to act like people go there but still need more people to go there damn it. Forums are terribly Cliche (damn i wish i could spell). But it's ok cause it's fun. I've been working on making this more and more of a group site over the years I've had moderate success. I'm looking for ideas to make this better group site and atract more people... So if you got ideas lemme know..

The weather was kinda ick this morning it is getting better now. I was hoping for a clear night to take pics of the cars in nothin but moon light. But it may not work out cause 1 car is kinda dirty from the kinda ick weather and 2 it may be cloudy and crudy.

Tomorrow is the half way point. Its not far enough. Weekend needs to be here again. Maybe we can do more nothing this weekend instead of so much like the last couple. Maybe not who knows.

Seriously I will do those updates to the site soonish. I just added another of Kala's show me submissions. Now just to get them from more random type people.

I found out that Jon (from work) has my name as Evil Ben in his phone. I dunno what that is about. I didn't think I was that evil. Thankfuly Lisa doesn't either.

Lisa, Sean and Jake are comin over anytime now to watch a movie. The 25th Hour. I saw it last year in the theater but it was a good flick.

Got a car fax on my car. It came from Jersey then changed hands a couple times here in Orego from the look of things 6ish titles issued on her. But I think some of it may have to do with where it came from and where registered and where its been. Its ok if she has gotten around some I still love her.

There is a new virus goin around. Watch out. Get yer damn windows updates NOW! Stupid fucks out there thing Anti Virus is all its takes to be protected. Firewalls, updates, patches, and commonsence are required too. 95% of computer users couldn't tell you what 3 out of 4 of those things are. Hence the problems out there right now. Just think about someone who drives with no seatbelts and their eyes closed, that is your average computer user. A hazard and a moron.

Carting was fun. The bar crawling was kinda stupid doesn't seem very well thoughtout. Or thought out much beyond what it was. Transportation was not going to be enough for the whole group. Why go to all of the same type of bar with the same beers and drinks. Thats like going to all the McDonalds intown for Cokes, sprites, and maybe the ice-cream. It's gonna be the same all all the damn places. I did get to see Joe for a while that was cool. Saw Cat fo a bit too. Nikki too, and Brain, Laura and Sean from Ultimate. There were some other people there that I could have gone with out seening too. I also just got really fustrated and grumpy at the situation and bailed early.

Ok maybe no updates for the site this weekend. If I do they will be smallish ones. We still have to help Jon car shop and figure out when to do laundry sometime, cause I am running out of things to wear.

Chris has organized a evening of bar crawling and go carting. Not nessarly in that order. We are going. So perhaps even some pictures of the adventure tonight. It will be good to see Joe and a few of the others again too. There goes my entertainment budget for the rest of the month. Well until next pay check anyways I don't think I will be blowing tooo much money.

Made a bunch of new MP3 CDs for the car. So the ride up will have diffrent tunes than what have been in there for the last few months. I also washed her yesterday so shes all clean. Gonna check the coolant again to be sure it's still good.

Tomorrow will be laundry because of todays events. Again another weekend made short by events. Thats ok cause at least I'm doin' somethin and havin' some fun.
