Earlier tonight, my dad pointed out that on April 5th in addition to it being my brother’s 23rd birthday (happy birthday, Daniel!), at two minutes and three seconds after one in the morning, the time and date would be 123456. This made me smile. I think I will take right now to say hello to my dad. Hi, Dad! I am not sure if my mom reads this too, but yes, it is true! My dad has visited this website on occasion, and I think this is pretty cool.

Things that have made this weekend a delight:

• Improv Everywhere: I heard about this from a random NPR broadcast, and I actually heard about this “mission” of theirs. The whole idea behind it is pretty genius, I think. I have since been looking over some of their other missions, and it all seems like good fun to me. Check it out.
• Ikea. Really, do I need to say more? Though not yet purchased, I looked at and put on hold the solution to my clothing storage problems.
• Work. Over the past two weeks I have worked more than double the hours that I normally do. I have now gotten to work with almost all of the 17 people who are employed at the same place that I am (one of them was sick) within the period of a week, which is nice, because I was starting to miss everybody. Also… more than double the hours=more than double the money in my next paycheck!
• I got into UCI. To be honest, I do not really have plans to go there, but it was nice to know that the 40th best school in the country accepted me. Now then if UCLA accepted me…that would be a bit cooler, at number 25.
• I am looking forward to “fresh” episodes of Gilmore Girls in the near future.
• This weekend marks 4 months of sweetness with my fellow nerd. Mmm good times!
• Every single item of clothing (even bedsheets) has been freshly laundered.

It should be noted, however:

• I probably should not brag that one of the highlights of my weekend was to do ALL of my laundry.
• I am so tired. Never before have I lived for the next shot of Espresso as I have this weekend.
• I am behind in my studies, and writing this entry is not helping.
• My eating habits have definitely been TERRIBLE this weekend.
• You should never visit Ikea on a Saturday. Just forget about it. Oh, and the very things that I was the most interested in were out of stock! What is with that?!?
• I am not yet sure if I will be transferring to a university this fall… depending on some unit/financial issues that will be discussed at a meeting on Wednesday, I might be staying at my community college for an extra semester. I would actually be fine with this.
• Dude, what is up with Season 6 of Gilmore Girls?!? I tried to deny it for a long time, but Alexis Bledel’s voice has gotten more high pitched, the show has gotten so much less believable, and there have been some obvious budget cuts… the hand camera action is not my idea of innovative cinematography. Oh well. We all know what I will be doing at 8pm on Tuesday night, regardless of all of this. The season may soon redeem itself!
• I am kind of dissapointed with myself, at various things that I have done at work and in my personal life, mostly attitudanal (I do belive that I just invented that spelling of the word). I realize that it is time for some more changes, but I also know it is up to me to make those changes. “Be the change you want to see in the world,” right? Yes, at least to some degree!

I hope that my entries become less sporadic. I also hope to be buying a new digital camera in the near future, which should make for an enhanced website experience!

Oh yes! Also of interest, Snow Patrol singing about Sufjan Stevens! Thank, you, Stereogum!
