[62 in : 192 out]
Today marks two months exactly for being at home. It’s a moot point.
It’s been raining all day. That didn’t do much for business. Just as well though; we finally got our new soda machines in…a month later. They’re pretty nice, but it will disrupt the routine of how we fill orders. We had no sodas until about 1:00 and we are running out of a number of foods. It had to do with our specials. They all came with French Fries. However, our truck comes in tomorrow morning, and this one is the most expensive shipment I have placed.
Well, Survivor came on tonight. I wished it could have been another 30 minute one. I had mixed emotions about the whole thing though. For some reason I was distracted about everything. Dah well.
I finished up Dungan’s drawing and tried to start another, but I couldn’t find it in me to create another person. I’ll try tomorrow, but I think what is holding me back is what my parents will say if I make them look anymore like anime characters. My mom already says they look weird. My argument, I don’t watch anime, how can they be weird if they aren’t drawn from the anime style? I perhaps used the wrong term for them when I started drawing them. I’ll call this style neomation, after my alias Neo for etbuers.com.
Anyway, I have either lost focus on them tonight or become uninterested. I still want to do one of Benji and Jay, but I don’t have any ideas for the body. I guess I’ll just have to think about it more.
I also considered working on The Spot. I haven’t touched that project in at least 3 weeks. But, I didn’t take interest in that either.
I think I am missing my computer too much. It was my link to my friends and where I met most of them to begin with. Take Benji, for instance.
I met Benji when I was in Linebery Lobby waiting on a girl, Jessica, at the very beginning of my freshman year. I was playing the piano there, and he walked in and heard me. So we talked about the music and then he played. Then we talked about computers and SNs and exchanged SNs.
Later I found out via IMing him that he knew how to setup Microsoft Outlook Express to get my TigerMail w/o me having to go to ETBU’s website. We talked more about etboo and the idea I had to create a chat room or (originally) an Instant Messenger for the whole campus to use, using their TigerMail as a login. He introduced me to the late etboo.com and how to get to it from around the BESS Blocking Software. Someone had beaten me to my idea, in essence, and someone before them…the Protractor X (PX).
So I decided I would take the challenge of creating a student-run web service and Benji reluctantly agreed to help (wanting his beloved etboo, he so frequently visited, to return). With that, he and I set off recruiting one more person – Jay Lanier.
But this is not the place for “The Histor of etbustudents.cc,” however when I finish this, I will write it.
My point is, I may meet people in person, but it is often times after I have talked to them online. Sometimes before, often after.
That’s all for tonight. Laterz
