The Lost Pixel

Happy morning too you! It is 9:45AM EDT on Tuesday and I have been up for 45 minutes or so having my RL coffee. I have also been listening to some tunes and playing string on Second Life a bit. Really surprised I am up so early because I was chatting with Joe on the telephone until nearly 2AM last night. I think my afternoon nap yesterday helped out. Well I got up this morning and it is sorta rainy outside but I am sure that will pass before long and then it will be steamy and hot. I guess this morning I will put my laundry away from yesterday and then shower and begin my job search. That sales job I am kinda shying away from and should really call them and tell them forget it. It is a bit pointless to have a job like that when you do not have a car. Was offered an interview with IBM/Lenovo and contacted by a Technical Resource Manager but after looking up the Tampa location it is a 40 minute drive from my house. I keep getting offers for decent jobs but cannot take them because I have to rely on my mother to drive me there. This really sucks. Anyway I will keep searching and see what I can find. Joe is working until 3PM my time so I will attempt to get all my stuff finished before he gets home. Anyway back later….

Hiya! Still raining outside and it is 12:00PM EDT and stuff. I guess it is going to rain off and on all day. Joe is on his break and it was swell to chat a bit on Yahoo Messenger. Made me smiley. Well to recap my morning I started out perusing my employment websites and didn’t see very many jobs local to me. When I say local I mean a 15-20 minute drive. I get sick of the weather websites so I installed some software called McIdas as you see in the photo. Can do all sorta cool shit with that including 3D radars and things like that so you can see how high the cloud tops are and stuff. There are a ton of things in that software and I just played with it for about 45 minutes or so. Anyway I am about to have lunch now…think some sort of fish with veggies. Back later this afternoon….

w00t! Seems to be around 3PM EDT now and I am all showered and shiny. My lunch was delicious but I am still hungry and cannot wait for dinner. I was hoping to have hamburgers because I wanted to put peanut butter on mine and see how that tastes. Talked with Joe a bit more on his break and just awaiting him to get home and stuff. I just finished taking my TV tuner card out of my Linux server and putting it in my Linux desktop machine where it belongs. As you see it seems to be working fine and I am watching a cooking show now. I may see if I can get the cam working in a MSN Messenger clone called aMSN. Oh I managed to recompile my Open Simulator regions on both OSGrid as well as my grid to the latest version. I really need to start building on there again sometime. Anyway back to my cooking show and goofing around and back after dinner I guess…..

Hi. Seems it would be 6:30PM EDT now and I am stuffed. Had pork chops for dinner with a balsamic vinegar sauce I made with raisins, baked sweet potatos, broccoli and a swell salad. After that Joe is home from work and has been piddling around on SL while I was cooking and I decided to join him. After arrival he was shopping on XStreetSL and we said our hellos. Our pal Faith Hilra was on and invited us over so we headed down and as usual she TP’s people and then five minutes later says she has to leave. Joe is messing with gestures now or something and ignoring me so I figured I would update and stuff. Not sure what we are doing tonight, he claimed he was so bored and couldn’t wait for me to come on and has not really been responsive since I have come on. I might just lay down and watch TV. Dunno I will sit here and listen to tunes and let him mess around a bit and then see what he would like to do. More adventure later….

Shortly after Faith left Joe and I headed over to the IBM sandbox so he could sort his inventory. I piddled around browsing websites and looking at the odd items he rezzed to see what they were and stuff for about 45 minutes or so until Faith returned. She invited us back over to her house and we ended up deciding to go in the water. Well I didn’t go in the water because my ass was too lazy to change into swim attire so I sat on the pier with my 7 Seas Fishing rod and fished. I set out some tubes and float balls for Faith because she said she was in the water the previous night and I though she would like something there to float on. After Faith left again Joe and I were going to watch a movie but it ended up being a fake so maybe we will try that one next week.

Since the movie was a no go Joe and I decided to do a little exploring. I pulled up the B-Places website which always has some good suggestions for places to visit and we decided upon the Car Wash region. I have never been there before and we teleported in and it was quite pleasing to the eye. I am not quite sure where it is supposed to be but by the landmarks I was thinking maybe Los Angeles. We wandered around there for a while and chatted on voice so we could explore without typing and it was rather amusing. I thought the build was quite good and the shops had interesting items inside. I think Joe seen a bunch of stuff he wants to go back and get sometime and we still didn’t explore the whole thing. I am not sure if it is just two sims or more but I guess we can find out another time. It is 12:30AM EDT and I am rather sleepy so Joe and I said our goodbyes for the day until tomorrow. He has off work and I have to get up early because I seen a local customer service offering in the newspaper. They are looking to hire 800 employees by the end of the summer. Anyway I will get up early and apply for that and stuff. Well time for me to go to sleep. Goodnight World.
