2008
2008 was a good year. I think all even-numbered years are. I made new stuff, made new friends, became better friends with the pre-existing ones, made more money, bought an XBox 360, witnessed probably the most interesting Presidential election in my lifetime, won my first award (up until this point I had never been the “best” anything), flew back home to Minnesota twice (once to hang...

My 300 lb. seatmate seems to have no personal space issues.
45 minutes later...
The plane finally boards.
Ahhhhh… Nothing like a pre-flight Linenkugel’s. By the way, my flight’s been delayed, but only for a half hour or so.

Ok, last one of the night.
FULL ON ATTACK AD. Take that Jonah Ray, Aziz, Paul Scheer, AboutAFrame, Documentary Tumblr, and those Josh and Amed or whatever dudes whose names escape me. VOTE FOR MOVIE NIGHT if you support FUN and FRIENDSHIP!

WatchI’m a little late on this one, hope that’s OK.
Merry X-Mas.
It's 3:30am
Traveling suuuuuuuucks.
I hope the fact that there was recently an airline incident with a major commercial plane gives me better odds of survival for when I travel home on Wednesday.
Work is done for the next 2 weeks. That’s good. Now I’m waking up and wondering where my year went. I’m almost 30. Geez…
It took me almost 2 hours to get home tonight. Traffic was universally bad everywhere. I can’t wait to be done for X-Mas break.
Accidental Free Lunch Thursday
pauliophonic:
I accept!
Same thing here. Although, the direction on how to obtain this free lunch is pretty confusing. I got a wristband, and they’re supposed to be serving at “noon” outside, but I just checked and they can’t serve it because the workers were too busy polishing the hubcaps on their vending truck(?) … I think.
Help

I think something is eating hard drive space on my laptop. I keep deleting files to make more room, but then the space mysteriously disappears. I had 4.5 gigs free this morning and now I only have 3.87. This is a regular thing I’ve been noticing: over time, nothing will be added to the computer but the free space will mysteriously lessen.
Is there such a virus that eats hard drive...
“Corporate accounts payable, Nina speaking, just a moment. Corporate accounts...”
– This is the best way to describe my new coworker in the adjacent office. I feel just like Peter Gibbons. The day is only just beginning.

•Adam Carolla drives a FlexFuel (ethanol) Chevy Suburban.

And this guy wants to host American Top Gear! The nerve!

Watch2008 Channies: The Movie by Christian Le Guilloux.
It’s just like being there.
“It’s money. The economy’s in the shitter and you have a job. Just...”
– What I’m telling myself to get through the day so that I don’t just get up and walk out.
Pretty much what I type at work all day:
MIKE: And she’s just like, “Whoo! Just fill it up!” GINA: He’s like “Give it to me!” Fill that in! Secure, I love it.
They’re talking about filling in concrete blocks with mortar while doing a home remodeling project. Perverts.
Channy Award Winner Aaron Moles is pretty tired and hungover this morning.
I like what I’m wearing to the Channies tomorrow. It’s expressive-yet-formal. Glad I didn’t go with the tux like the previous years. Now, I’m undecided on whether to shave my stubble off. Hmmmm
It’s going to be a fun night. I’ve got a few videos and some other work being screened, I’m presenting an award, I have a few nominations, and I’ve got a...
I have today off from work, yet I’m still working all day for free on something fun and exciting. I’d rather be doing this than getting paid to do my actual job.
Of course, paying the rent is nice, too.

irrationalblog:
Gotta admit, it looks pretty decent. Cliche plot, but Jason looks great. I’ll probably try to go to a mid-day screening somewhere, after the opening weekend, as to avoid a theater packed full of awful, mouthbreathing teenagers.
The trailer is pretty cool. Can’t wait to see it, but will probably do the same.
What do I want for X-Mas? Why is something so awesome becoming such a burden? I don’t want more clutter, I know that, but if there’s anything I’m missing from my life, now is the time to cash in.
Maybe the Google Android Phone, since I don’t want to switch providers for the iPhone. Help me think of some awesome things under $100.
Tell me what I want. This is the...
