Today mom bought me The Simpsons: Season 2 on DVD. I don't know what it is about the Simpsons, but I find it's one of the few DVDs where I look forward to hearing the audio commentary. Maybe I just like knowing the most minute trivia only true geeks would know. Maybe it's an obsession with the minds of the creators. Maybe it makes the 1st and 2nd season episodes easier to sit through... Wednesday, August 28, 2002
I saw Vin Diesel today at the Universal Studios frontlot. He was dressed in a wifebeater and jeans, talking on his cell phone. I couldn't tell why he was there or what movie he was working on, however. It's kind of ironic, though; he's the first celebrity I've actually seen in a movie studio! I mean, I've seen Topher Grace and Joseph Gordon-Levitt at the BJ's Pizza in Westwood, and I even saw Rene Auberjonois at South Coast Repertory once. Not to mention the countless actors and actresses I've seen at various conventions (both the San Diego Comic and Star Trek varieties). Monday, August 26, 2002
Well, thanks to Nammy, my computer's working a lot better. He helped me fix some bugs in my computer, delete programs I never use, and take out all the spyware programs running in the background (140+ instances, yikes! And I got another 15 today!) And finally, all my programs integrated to the internet (online updates and such) work like they should! Saturday, August 24, 2002
Hi everybody! I'm sending this message in from my desktop computer which is now connected to the internet through a wireless PC card! Cool, huh? No more CAT-5 cable for me! That is, until I go back to college... Wednesday, August 21, 2002

I got my Disney exclusive Star Wars figures today! Woo-hoo! Now I can recreate all my favorite Star Tours moments! "I'm sure it's your first flight, and it's... mine, too. Heh heh." Monday, August 19, 2002
Oh yeah, I forgot to add something: Pennsylvania has got to have one of the tackiest standard license plates around; they put the state's website address on them! Saturday, August 17, 2002
Ok, everybody. Sorry for the really, really long delay between posts. There's a good explanation. Honest! I've just completed four different road trips that basically occurred back-to-back. The first one was no surprise to people that know me. On August 1, I went to the San Diego Comic Con. I had a lot of fun. I think this just about sums up that one-day trip:  This is where it gets complicated. My brother got accepted into a graduate school in Pennsylvania. Due to time constraints, he couldn't move his stuff into an apartment in time, so he flew to Philly to apartment hunt while my mom and I drove his car and his crap to him. Mike's car is a manual transmission. I had to have a crash course in learning how to drive one of these things to drive across the country. From August 2 to August 6, mom and I drove to Philadelphia. On August 9, we caught a plane in Baltimore, Maryland to Boise, Idaho, where we met dad and spent some time with family there. On the 12th, we drove into Yellowstone where we stayed until the 15th with some family friends from home. On the way back we saw both Bryce Canyon and Zion National Parks. We even took a short glance at Craters of the Moon National Park. Somehow, in all this mess, I ended up in Las Vegas 3 times... So, these are the states I've visited in the last 17 days, in the order that I first entered them. 1. California 2. Nevada 3. Arizona 4. Utah 5. Colorado 6. Kansas 7. Missouri 8. Illinois 9. Indiana 10. Ohio 11. West Virginia 12. Pennsylvania 13. Delaware 14. Maryland 15. Virginia 16. Idaho 17. Oregon 18. Montana 19. Wyoming Now, if you don't mind, I think I'll take a nap. |
