What state are you in again? And is it the area with a bunch of meth addicts?

Washington.

And I'd assume not. I don't know of anyone that does meth.

I forget how low your hourly rates are. Then again your cost of living is lower than ours so it balances out.

Yeah, aren't video games like a million dollars over there?

You also have to deal with every other game getting banned  

everyone mad about the george zimmerman verdict has come off as incredibly stupid

oh and I have an interview at whole foods tomorrow. I'm going to tell them they made a mistake not hiring me for beer buyer/specialist and then turn down their job offer and then wake up

How many of you guys would tell me that you've recommended Cerna to me before?

The fuck is cerna?

Going to Bleeding Through's final tour tomorrow night. Should be a good show.

I also saw Dallas Green perform a solo acoustic set the other night. That man has one hell of a voice.

Dallas Green is the GOAT.

Holy fuck, I'm usually a rock, but my current level of stress is about to kill me. Hopefully things will calm down over the next few days and work out, or maybe they'll all get much worse. Hence, my current level of stress.

I'm getting there. After the university changing around my funding without telling me, the massive wave of bugs that have decided to try to take over my house, and this fucking heat that makes it so I only get about 4 hours of haggard sleep per night because I have no air conditioning, my fucking headphones broke today and I have no money to replace them. Like I'm just about ready to kick someone in the side of the head.

lol my advisor pretty much told me "you should try and be smarter".

lol my project thing seems to be going well. I've been working on this one problem for like a month though (Keep in mind I'm also taking a course so I haven't been like, just working on this one thing) and I still can't get it. Anyway last night I thought I found something that would have enabled me to never have to look at said problem to begin with. Turns out my way of thinking was right but doesn't actually get me any further ahead in the problem so that came as a relief.

I, too, am feeling some stress. I'm pretty overwhelmed by the fact that I move in less than 2 weeks and then start a completely new job in 1.5 months.................. I have SO much I've got to get done.


In other news, I figured you guys would be pretty excited to know that I'm going to a Backstreet Boys concert the end of August. hahaha How many of you are literally cringing right now??

Better than the shit Respond and Green Shoes listen to.

Actually just saw a documentary about Cheiron Studios. They were insanely good at what they did. The fact that they're also responsible for actually making E-Type successful pardons any potential transgressions they might have made.

E-type was da bomb.

Well, the worst of it worked out well today. Yesterday I was really starting to think they might go as far to throwing me out of Chile because I fucked something up with my Visa/residency here and was technically here illegally for nearly 2 months without even realizing it. I went in to work it all out and finish up the things I needed today. I went in acting like there was nothing wrong and hoping they weren't going to call the cops on me, and the guy there didn't even acknowledge my fuck up and gave me all of the updates and new forms I needed to be here legally.

Also, a few of my other potential problems mainly worked themselves out today. So, things definitely could have been worse. Still, though, countless other problems and things to work out before I leave in a month.

Saw their stuff on bandcamp after I posted that comment.

So one of my friends bailed on going to Bleeding Through so I gave his ticket away to this girl I met at a concert a few weeks back. She wants to meet up a bit before the show and go for milkshakes and catch up. Not sure what to even make of this.

"milkshakes"

It's Kerr's Russian alter ego.

I'm glad that stuff is over now; that must have been really upsetting to worry about.

My computer's graphics card has problems. When I turned on my computer this morning, there were red artifacts all over the screen. I unplugged the graphics card and am currently using the built-in graphics card on my computer, which isn't as powerful, so I don't think I'll be playing any PC games in the near future. My computer has had a lot of heat-related issues, so along with a new graphics card, I need to get a new power supply as well; one that will be more capable of handling a more powerful graphics card. I need to find out if my graphics card is covered under warranty, but I don't know how to figure out such a thing.

Yeah, good luck with that, Kurt. Computer problems are always such a pain in the ass. Also, I'm quite happy most things are beginning to work out on my end.
