I have a new computer that I bought about 1 1/2 months ago, its a Dell 5100. The problem I have been having lately is that the sound cuts out intermittently. It doesn't effect gameplay or videos. Anybody have any clue what this is about?Current Mood:  perplexed Voices in my head are saying:: some kid trying to sing Summer of 69 |

since I actually made a decent post in awhile. Saturdays at work, bore the hell out of me, especially the afternoons because there are no production set-ups, just babysitting the building. And to top it off Rock School happens on Saturdays in the theater, which my new office is located in the tech booth. So, I am barraged by kids learning rock school all day as well.
Am kneedeep in budgets and operations plans at the conservatory. Finished up Frankie and Johnnie what only seems like a couple of days ago. Already almost have the finalized groundplans for Topdog, then as soon as that is done, incorporate Phyrogiants into the plan as well. No rest for the weary. Also am going to being teaching Theater for the Non-performing at the Acadamey of Holy Names in the spring, as well as design their spring musical. Me at an all girls catholic high school, smells like trouble. Oh yeah, I found out the spring musical is The Sound of Music. Yay! (I hope you can tell I am being sarcastic.
Other than that, for those of you don't know, I am moving out of St. Pete and back to Tampa. To ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=91.6) maladr1n's old house, next door to actorkat. Have been putting some work into the house a little bit here and there. Got all the old carpet out of there yesterday, so hopefully that should take care of the animal smell. The carpet was pretty gross, and actually had some mold growing it so I'm glad I pulled it out. Also, found out the wood floor is pretty descent in the large bedroom. Is actually the old school plank style and is structurally in good shape. I hope to rent a floor sander from Nations Rent tomorrow and finish the floors, and depending on how well they turn out will determine if I paint or stain them. Then I can start painting the walls and cleaning up the rest of the place, cause whoever lived there after trashed the place. Hopefully will start moving in middle of November.
Also, am planning on putting in an in-ground fire pit, so expect me to have a house warming party sometime in December.
Thats all for now.Current Mood:  bored |

Bill Maher's closing bit the other night on REAL TIME, HBO:
"Mr. President, this job can't be fun for you any more. There's no more
money to spend--you used up all of that. You can't start another war
because you used up the army. And now, darn the luck, the rest of your
term has become the Bush family nightmare: helping poor people. Listen
to your Mom. The cupboard's bare, the credit cards maxed out. No one's
speaking to you. Mission accomplished.
Now it's time to do what you've always done best: lose interest and walk
away. Like you did with your military service and the oil company and
the baseball team. It's time. Time to move on and try the next fantasy
job. How about cowboy or space man? Now I know what you're saying:
there's so many other things that you as President could involve
yourself in. Please don't. I know, I know. There's a lot left to do.
There's a war with Venezuela. Eliminating the sales tax on yachts.
Turning the space program over to the church. And Social Security to
Fannie Mae. Giving embryos the vote.
But, Sir, none of that is going to happen now. Why? Because you govern
like Billy Joel drives. You've performed so poorly I'msurprised that you
haven't given yourself a medal. You're a catastrophe that walks like a
man. Herbert Hoover was a shitty president, but even he never conceded
an entire city to rising water and snakes.
On your watch, we've lost almost all of our allies, the surplus, four
airliners, two trade centers, a piece of the Pentagon and the City of
New Orleans. Maybe you're just not lucky. I'm not saying you don't love
this country. I'm just wondering how much worse it could be if you were
on the other side.
So, yes, God does speak to you. What he is saying is: 'Take a hint."Current Mood:  amused |

Here's something you really should try if you have a spare second and want to see something interesting...
Do the following:
1.) Open Google.com and type in the web search "miserable failure"
2.) Don't click search, but click "I'm Feeling Lucky."
3.) What is it that you see?!

So around 8 o'clock last night my A/C unit called it quits. This morning I awoke dripping in sweat. This reminded me so much of last summer with the hurricanes, only without all the cool stuff associated with hurricanes.
This a/c unit was awesome, got the entire place to arctic proportions and that was one window unit. So, I called my landlord this morning, normally he would've been over immediately to fix it or replace it, but he is in NY. He says he will see what he can do and will call me back. The guys he normally has do stuff around the place are also out of town and A/C repair places are backed up and can't make it out till the end of the week. So, no air till Friday morning. Fuck.
So, I went to Home Depot and got a small unit for $80 for my bedroom so at least I'll be comfortable while I sleep. You know how hard it is to install an a/c unit with one hand, one finger, and a thumb. Not easy, let me tell you that. And to top the day off I jammed the mangled fingers in the door on the way to home depot. I will say this, I was very creative in my cursing.
I'm ready for this day to be over.

Well, I did it again. It feels as though someone is telling me to stay away from power tools. If you don't recall, last show I drilled a 3/8" hole into my left palm. Yesterday, I had the circular saw kick back and and slice through three of my fingers on my left hand. Luckily it didn't slice them off completely. My index and middle finger got the worse of it, both getting pretty deep cuts, but not making it too close to bone.
So, I am once again a one handed carpenter. The oddest thing is I have been doing carpentry for over 10 years and never hurt myself other than the occasional scrape, and then twice in one summer. I think I need to find a chain mail glove for my left hand.
Anyway it is hard to type using just one finger on my left hand. So go see the show I hurt myself on. Maybe you can see the blood.
