Typing in here will pop up a window on my screen. Don't take it personally if I don't reply - I'm not around the computer all the time. I expect to regret putting this here and I'll probably end up taking it down soon.

The rest of October 2004 - posted on Tuesday, October 12th 2004 12:32 am

Tuesday, 10-12-2004: My internet has been broken all day. Went to Richards for awhile to finish up the election reports. Went to Jamestown Mall in the evening to pick up a new internet router.

Saturday, 10-16-2004: Today I worked on getting a light wired into the guest room closet. I’m tired of using that tiny lamp in there. Later I decided to move my room back into my room since I was sick of living in the guest room. I wanted to wait until my room was finished to move in, but screw it. It’s gonna be months before I get all that done anyway. My brother came over this evening so I could help him get some files off dad’s old hard drive. Amy called me at 3:30am and woke me up. We talked until about 5:30am.

Sunday, 10-17-2004: Spent all day working on electrical stuff in the guest room and closet. Doesn’t sound like a big project but somehow it took all day. Well, most of the day. Josh & Lori finished moving out today so I went over there and looked around the apartment. Watched Dead Like Me and it was probably the best episode of this season so far.

Tuesday, 10-19-2004: Today I had to hang out at the apartment next door all day to wait for the cable guy and gas guy. Worked from the downstairs kitchen for a few hours before they showed up. The cable guy was here for several hours and I had to help him run the cable through the attic for Kelli’s apartment. After work me and Tami went to Edwardsville to see Team America.

Friday, 10-22-2004: Worked until 2 or 3, then drove to Nashville for Phreaknic. Got there around 9pm and wandered around for awhile. Called Zeroknowledge and ended up hanging out with him and some other guy. We tried to find murd0c but we were told that he was passed out somewhere. We ended up taking all my ‘Milk Matters’ stickers all over the hotel - on doors, walls, elevators, tables, etc. We spent a little less than an hour sticking them everywhere and it really pissed off the Phreaknic staff. Later we did a bunch of pranking hotel guests which really pissed off the hotel staff. Amy called me around 3:30am and I was in the lobby talking to her and listening to the front desk guy and security guy talking about the pranks. At some point we met up with murd0c. I ended up sleeping in his room with about 8 other people.

Saturday, 10-23-2004: Left the room around 8am and went to the Waffle House for breakfast. Ended up leaving the con quite early, maybe around 2 or 3pm, for reasons that I shouldn’t get into right now. Got home at 9pm.

Tuesday, 10-26-2004: After work I went to Florissant to meet Caerie for super at Applebees. Then stopped by Gamestop and Barnes & Noble by myself. Got the DVDs Pleasantville, Phenomenon, Timeline and Fightclub and a book on bank robberies.

Thursday, 10-28-2004: I told Casey that I would go to the East Alton holloween parade to see him marching in the band. So I filled up my mp3 player with music and walked over there. Casey’s band was the first thing out so after I waved at him, I left. I walked across East Alton, stopped at Piasa Pantry for some gum and ended up where the parade was ending. I saw Joe T. and hung out with him for the rest of the parade. He gave me a ride home and we hung out for awhile. Went to his house and he showed me all of his renovations.

Saturday, 10-30-2004: Wasted most of my morning sitting on the laptop and converting old UPL issues into HTML. Around 2pm I went next door and scraped wallpaper off the wall for a couple of hours. Tami IMed me and asked if I wanted to go to the Alton holloween parade so I did. I parked by Fast Eddies and walked a few blocks until I found her and her kids. After the parade, we went to Golden Corral to eat.

October 27th, 2004: My plan is to continue not updating my journal very often. I’ve been sticking to my non-online (unline? nonline?) journal for the past few months instead. I have started a photo log, though, which lets me upload photos to it directly from my camera phone. Thanks to murd0c for pointing me to textamerica.com.

My day in pictures - posted on Saturday, October 9th 2004 12:26 am

October 9th, 2004: My friend Amy documented her evening out with lots of digital pictures. I decided to outdo her by documenting my entire day with pictures. So here they are…

Bonnie, Josh, Lori - posted on Wednesday, October 6th 2004 12:23 am

Wednesday, 10-6-2004: Today Bonnie called me and we ended up going to the downtown Subway for lunch together. After work I wired new cable and phone jacks into the apartment next door. That took all evening. Took a trip to Lowes to get some cable & phone stuff I needed to finish it up.

Thursday, 10-7-2004: Guy from Alton came to inspect the apartment next door today. Went to Subway for lunch, as usual. Took at walk around 7:30pm. Today I got Dead Like Me season #1 on DVD in the mail. So I started watching those this afternoon and have been watching them all evening, except for when I went on a walk. Talked to Josh & Lori today and it looks like they’ll be moving out around the middle of this month. So now I’ve got another apartment to get rented.
