LA

Filed under: Personal-imported — Torfinn Nome @ 0:00

Spent the weekend in L.A., CA, US with Rune and Monica. Boring place. Too much driving. But I enjoyed the weather/temperature. And the asians. Got some books and some clothes.

Got a Visor. Yiha, finally I have a portable way to store phone numbers.

People that get visibly annoyed by other people’s doings makes me _very_ annoyed. Very. To the point where I can easily get violent, I think.

My mum and dad are on vacations. For the first time in ages. About time.

Meetings

Filed under: Personal-imported — Torfinn Nome @ 0:00

Slept terrebly bad. It’s a bit annoying sometimes sleeping (or trying to) next to a room where people work. Sometimes all the night. Good thing I’m leaving soon.

Rune, Monica and Erick spent the hole day, (and yesterday) in meetings. I wonder what they really do.

And my urge for a beacon burger at Chilli’s is rising. Rapidly. I think time has come.

Old versions of Internet Explorer are so bad. I’m glad I’m not really a web programmer.

Weather

Totally blue sky when walking to work. I have a Thing for good weather. Makes me happy.

Chinese leftovers from yesterday for breakfast. Togheter with the weather, a perfect start of the day.

Laptop! I finaly have a /dev/hda in my laptop! Spent some time setting in up.

Rune is going to LA this weekend. And my FM3 (work permit) is at Gobernacion for upgrade. So I can’t come. That sux.

Tired.

Popular - The TV series

Filed under: Personal-imported — Torfinn Nome @ 0:00

Yes! Monday! Popular! :-)

And X-Men. The Movie. I really don’t know what I expected. I had Batman vs. Joker flashbacks (bad ones) during the movie. But overall nice monday afternoon entertainment.

Went swimming with Monica. And Rune taped Popular. Which I will be watching now. Perfect end.

Cold

“No need to get up. It’s just another day.”

It’s getting colder. The mornings (before 10:30) are _really_ cold. And I’m going back to Norway in two months and one week. Very mixed feelings.

Basked

I didn’t totally foad, btw. I’m waiting for Leo, Paul and some mexicans. It’s Basket Day.

Slept. Now drinking Fresca. My favorite.

Foad

Filed under: Personal-imported — Torfinn Nome @ 0:00

Was up insanely early. Went to Gobernacion with Alex. We both had to change our papers. As we were there when they opened, it was not a lot of people, so we went through quite smoothly and fast. Got some tacos on the way back. Cheap and nice.

I’m having a headache. And it’s only 13:00. I hate going to places like Gobernacion.

Ah. A couple of B737-flights (MS-FS), Air:Moon Safari, and getting ready to barbeque fixed the headache.

Bah, it came back. Worse than ever. Lots of noisy people, the noise, smoke, noise and nngh. Generally the most unpleasant day in a long, long time.

I want my own, sealed (noise wise) office.

So, I didn’t fix Sandino’s script after all. I fucked it up, real bad. “<jwz> Nome: you’re even more useless. foad.”. He never knew how right he was.

Love

Filed under: Personal-imported — Torfinn Nome @ 0:00

Fell in love while walking home tonight. She was black. And this is not the first time I’ve fallen in love with her. And, hey, I got my bank account last week, so now I’m saving up for an M5 sedan.

Updated Sandino’s dyn-dialup-script. Which is very handy since we need to keep track of customers that uses dialup. And sometimes have to connect to the dialup-gateway. Blah, blah, blah.

Sigh.

Sport City

Filed under: Personal-imported — Torfinn Nome @ 0:00

I’m now a member of Sport City, Mexico. Which means that I have access to all kind of fancy stuff. Most importantly a big pool, a sauna, a steam bath, and very nice showers. And as I have a modified student membership it’s not that expensive either. Rejoice!

Haven’t done much else this week. At least not that I’m allow to talk about. But I did spend some hours fixing up this activity log system. It’s beginning to be quite okay. Only need a module to get access to modify/add entries via web, and I’m ready to IPO. Thanks to Rune for ideas, testing, bringing me milk and cookies, etc. :-)

Slept poorly last night. Woke up by the earthquake. Failed to sleep after this, as the traffic is quite bad in the mornings.

Bad Movies

Filed under: Personal-imported — Torfinn Nome @ 0:00

Rule number One: Talk about Bad Movies. Tell your friends. Make them understand. Rule number Two: Trust people. When they say a movies is Bad. As in “Stay Away, This Is Bad”-Bad.

The Mocca-coffee-milk-thing was good. As usual. The move was not so good. Feeling depressed, need to pity yourself, want to see something boring? Go see “The Perfect Storm”. It had fish that looked like really real fish, tho, but those were apparently not real. So, if you are a video-imaging-techie, you might want to see it.
