Certified

Got my Mixology/Bartending cert. Dunno what I'm gonna do with it.

Schedule's been kinda hectic, trying to get things done before I leave for Taiwan on Thursday.

 Have noticed a few things these last few days:

Congress works on legislation like students work on homework: pretend to work on it until it's 30 mins before class and pump something(anything!) out ASAP.

Singing along to the radio does not improve my mood.

My girlfriend has a tendency of getting caught up in things when she's about to come see me.


Suppose I'll work on it, but I'm not quite sure how to.

Still have to find present for the family before I pack.

A week of bartending and tooth pains

Can't say the week was busy, per say, but...

I'd forgotten how inconvenient school could be on one's schedule. I had a toothache the entire week and was unable to go to the dentist due to bartending school.

Was finally able to go on Saturday. Got some antibiotics prescribed for my pericoronitis. That's it.

Got myself a water pik thing, will hopefully prevent future cases of such. Never let it be said I don't learn from my mistakes.

Spent all the money I had saved up on a new lens. The prima donna of DX lenses, the Nikkor 18-200mm VRII. It's in the mail(I hope). It'll likely get here before I leave for Taiwan on the 4th.

Slow market, busy week

Week with intern was fun. Had him do all the sh*t I didn't want too, then took him out to dinner every night.

Market's doing terrible at the moment, sitting on a buttload, but ain't able to buy anything. Also, one of the former occupants of a property came back and smashed the crap out of everything. Everything. Hell, even the ceiling light fixtures 15 feet up. Work beckons.

Checked out some new model homes in Brea. Nicely staged, as they should be. Have come to the conclusion that I'd rather have a smaller home than a bigger one.

Went to the OC Fair. Expensive, but interesting. Fried Kool-aid was an extreme disappointment.

Photography ain't doing so well, not much opportunity to shoot at anything, but that will change, hopefully.

Started bartending school today, broke a glass. Should prove fun and interesting if today was any indication.

Note to self: Another card 7-17

Reporting Not Much to Report

Google+ Hangout is awesome.

Apparently, Facebook is feeling the heat, and is teaming up with Skype to roll out something similar soon.

Ain't much a better kick in the pants than a bit of competition.

Intern is here for a week. Means less ***, but more company.

And less work.

4th

Watched Transformers midweek. Determined that starlets have force fields over their faces. Didn't shoot any photos.

Had a BBQ at my house for the first time in a long time. Good food, good friends. Tragic accident. More details to come.

Determined to learn to BBQ and grill well. After bar-tending classes.

Sleeping soon. Work in the morning.
