I seldom get on myspace any more, which might change shortly as I get back into doing music and art again. However, I do try to write in my blog thingerbob on my own site a lot. That is probably my most updated web presence I have. One of the bad things however is that myspace is a fairly closed API and so it is hard to stay up to date on the goings on there without actually visiting the site. However, I found a cool word press plugin that AT LEAST lets me easily post my blog entries from my site to myspace too. word.
My friend Martha did one of those celebrity look a like things. I thought I would try…
Monday: 61 minutes, 15 miles, 576 calories – Watched “Every Which Way But Loose”
I had never heard of Mata Hari before. I was looking up the new X-files movie and stumbled into her on the Wikipedia. Quite possibly one of the first femme fatals – exotic dancer turned spy and executed for her services. I am starting to think I need to forget about my ideas for the Cold War version of steam punk and start thinking up some stories of Art Nouveau era craziness. Word.

Charles and I have been talking about starting a podcast for a while. We did a trial run in January and it was obvious I needed some better gear. Before I took off for SXSW I broke down and ordered a pair of AKG Perception 200 Condenser Mics from Guitar Center. They were a little pricey, but I am hoping this is all we need to do to get things rolling.
This is covering the first part of day 3 of my SXSW visit. I am going to try to retro post the last 2 days worth of happenings, but since no one reads this shit anyway, I don’t care if some of the bits below need the context that would otherwise be set up in the previous days’ posts. I’ll probably come back and revise this too and add links… there is beer to be drank.
So last week was another crapshoot. I think I rode only 2 days and did situps. Wednesday and Friday were busy days and then I was at the f1 challenge all weekend. I’m sure I gained 10 lbs at the F1 challenge alone between all the pop, sticky rolls, wings, chipotle, pizza, and crapf. Oh well, if you don’t sleep you gotta eat right? This week and next are expected to be crapshoots again as I am leaving Friday for Austin for SXSW and won’t return until the following Wednesday. yarg. Anywho, I will do my best. Summer is coming and I don’t want to be the fat. I feel like I look like a blob in all the pics from f1…
I checked my bank account today worried that I wouldn’t have enough cash for all my bills AND enjoying myself this weekend at SXSW. To my suprise, there was an extra lump of cash direct deposited from work. I assumed it was my bonus. I asked a coworker and that is what they assumed too. Nothing had really been mentioned about our annual bonuses and raises. Last year I received both in spite of only having been there a few months. Last year my raise wasn’t all that much and my bonus was equal to the extra cash i would have earned the previous year had I had the raise in place and having worked a full year. I am not sure if that was a coincidence or not. If that was indeed the rule, then I’m excited to see what my raise % is! We find that out this weekend at SXSW.
