Friesian Is Getting There!!

 So finally UPS came around 4:30 and dropped off the logic board. I've been working on getting all the components that we've got installed into the new database server (aka Friesian). I took some pics, they're on my FaceBook. It's getting there. I ordered the PSU from eWiz and I actually just got an email from them saying the items have been shipped. I also snagged a 4GB MicroSD card so I can start using my DS again and "playing" My Japanese Coach hehe. It was like $10 for the little 4GB card, so I thought that was a good deal. Some how adding that brought the 3 day shipping down to $30 from $60...weird.

So what else...that's about it since I last posted. I forgot to mention that I saw Sara yesterday. She was a girl who used to be at my old barn but she left when we did....mostly because the new barn manager was a complete moron and no one liked her. Sara's sister Abby is helping at Towne-Ayer this week since Rita and Bethany are at the Vermont Spring Classic horse show...so Sara came along with her yesterday to see the horses and all. It was really nice seeing her. I actually kind of had a crush on her before [info]emilie ...but some how Sara knew about Emilie and I breaking up and when I was talking about how crazy Emilie was, Sara was like yeeeeah haha....I love how everyone knew this before I really saw it, I would have loved it if someone had told me before I spent 4 years of my life with this girl hahaha. But whatever, to be honest, I don't regret a single second I spent with Emilie, the fights, the good times, the amazing times, the horrible times, I wouldn't trade it for the world. But yeah, enough of that haha...

So I'm just catching up on emails, and some forums and stuff, going to hit the bed soon. I'm tired!!

Oh yeah, no YouTube links for the OVA...that will not count, it has to be a file I can download! :) Thanks.

Oh The Dramz

So today, I woke up, and [info]emilie  had left a comment and a message in my Facebook Inbox. The comment was on a photo I took of her old horse, I believe she called me an ass and told me not to post the image. LOL. LIKE SERIOUSLY?! Is she for fucking real?! She gets more and more ridiculous as the days go by. Her Inbox message basically read that she was mad at me blah blah, she was truly over what we had been, and she hated me and she never wanted to talk to me again...you get the point. Basically she made an ass out of herself again...which is sad. I wish she would just stop. It's so sad, to see such a an amazing and beautiful girl turn into this. But it's her choice...and there's nothing I can do about it. [info]morgan  then proceeded to rip her a new one....which was relatively humorous...

Anyways, I've been spending a buncha time on MyAnimeList and AnimePaper. The people are nice, at least the ones I've met. Last night I installed a nice PHP script on Percheron which snags my latest watched anime/read manga and displays it on my own personally made forum sig. Wicked slick. It basically uses RSS, GD, and PHP. Very nice stuff.

I'm getting back into anime, which really excites me, mostly because it's hilariously funny stuff. I downloaded a dating sim last night, but I have a feeling it's of the hentai type...woops. I won't know for sure until I install it...will do that tonight.

I'm going to order some Chinese when I'm on the road, so I can just stop in and pick it up. I might even eat it there. Yummy!!

Not much happening tonight, might study some Japanese and watch some Welcome to the NHK.

Unsure...

Been pretty busy lately, but then and again when haven't I. Sorry to people who I've not left comments for, I tried to leave some today.

I've been a little messed up lately, but not like seriously, just dealing with my feelings for <lj user="emilie">. I guess I don't know where we really are, I guess we're just friends, and stuff, and in reality I want it to be so much more, but I try to keep that bit of it inside me, because she's not ready for something like that yet, sometimes I don't know what she wants...although she's told me what she wants, it seems different when we're together.

She did get a new job, so I'm very proud of her, and she makes more then in her previous job so that's awesome. It sounds like she really likes it too, it's a job outside of the banking industry which is all she's known, she has some to learn. Which also sucks for me, because she spends all her time do that, which is understandable, I mean if I got a new job, I would be spending a lot of time learning about it, but if we were still living together at least I could wake up to her and fall asleep with her, in the situation we're in now, I can not do that, so it really sucks.

I don't know, things are obviously not how I'd like them to be, and I honestly don't know when and if they ever will be. I miss her more then anything in the world and it's killing me...so emo I know, but it's really how I feel. I literally cannot stop thinking about her and us, and blaaah. It's horrible.

Whatever...

Other shit I've been up to: working on a new web project which we launched on Friday. It's called Confessh.us and basically you can just submit confessions. http://confessh.us - we're still in beta, but we definitely want lots of people checking it out, using it and helping us squish some bugs! :)

Also been watching a lot of Death Note, maybe a bit too much cause I've been having dreams about it lately. It's a wicked awesome show though. I think next I might do Code Geass.

I've been cleaning up my airsoft guns and making sure they're in decent working condition. They all are for the most of it, next I've got to plan on which OPs I want to go to. There was one yesterday, but I didn't find out till yesterday, and there's one next week, but I'll be down in Massachusetts getting an iPhone replacement. So we're looking at probably going to an OP in Ghost Town on the weekend of the 25th (also my birthday weekend). It'll be awesome, of course, I've got to make sure Greg can do it as well.

Today, nothing really happening, watched some Death Note this morning, was awesome, but a bit sad. I won't say any spoilers :P I'm about to head out to the barn...

PS. Anyone wanna go out to a movie or dinner (date??) - let me know, I'm bored and need someone to hangout with :)

Have a good one kids <3

It's Getting Better...

 Been a bit since I last updated. Many things have happened since. Last week was nothing unusual. It went by really quickly. There's been a lot to do at work, because one of the big projects at work finally got some more funding so they've been going full speed ahead and they've got a lot of web work for me to be doing. I usually tended to do things slowly or not at all, so there wouldn't be days where I wasn't working. But now it's pretty crazy. I've been working most days with zero breaks until the end of the day, or I'll work until 4:15 or so, and just leave for the day, rather do my lunch then haha. It works though, I'd rather just get a lot done, so I feel accomplished and then have a nice break or leave early.

[info]emilie  and I hung out on Thursday. We've started playing World of Warcraft. We're humans on Turylon. I'm a mage and she's a paladin. We're definitely having fun with it. We sing the Billy Maclure song, mostly because we are questing in a mine (Jasperload and Fargo Deep) hehe. We're so silly. We both bought little cat pets too, to match the ones we have in real life :) I think we'll be shortly going to Westfall since we're pretty much done in Elwynn Forest. I'm having a blast with it. I could work on my 56 Orc but, I really just don't have time at the moment.

I've been watching Death Note too. It's fantastic! I really really love it! I think I might buy the manga at some point too. It's really really great stuff! :)

Today, not much happened, I watched some Death Note, and hung at the barn. I am going to be sponsoring one of my friends classes at the big Morgan horse show in Massachusetts this summer. That's really great, she's a really good rider.

Tonight, my plans are study Japanese and probably more Death Note, I really like how I am starting to understand some of the words written & spoken in anime, TV and movies. Hehe.

Matsuri!

Had a really nice weekend. But before I go into that...

Thursday, I hung out with [info]emilie It was our CSI night, of course it happened to be the NCAA basketball crap so we ended up watching Bedtime Stories instead. Funny movie.

On Friday, I got a bunch of work done, I had a quick meeting, rather almost consulting appointment in-which I got paid my normal shit pay to go over some really super basic OS X stuff, and then some questions about procedures and how things work at UVM. It only lasted about an hour which was really nice, because I had like 50 other things to do before my afternoon meeting. My afternoon meeting was lovely as usual. I really like my functional supervisor, she's awesome. I also like the guy who works with her, he's really great too. Very cool people...I wish I worked a lot closer with them rather then where I am now, but whatever. So Friday...night...nothing really special happened. I think I worked on some coding, but I really can't remember.

Saturday, I pretty much worked on the computer all afternoon, it was so nice out too, I worked outside with my MacBook. Then Emilie called and we got together. She was just going to come over to pickup the futon but we ended up umm yeah, well we also got some Chinese food and watched Ace Venture: When Nature Calls. We love that movie haha. So then I stayed up late after she left just working on a couple things.

Sunday, [info]emilie and I met up in the AM and we drove up to Matusuri which is this Japanese Cultural Festival (which I assume they hold annually, but I am not sure). Got there, check things out, they had tons of cool things, paper crane folding, bonsai trees, fish rolling, food, tea ceremony, demos, martial arts, antiques, tons of things! Anime, DDR, manga, etc...We bought 3 packs of origami paper. Then we went out to lunch at the Asiana Noodle House. She really wanted to try it out since I had told her how amazing it was. So we ended up getting beef, udon, and a Japanese Soy broth. It was WICKED good haha. I love the stuff there. Then we came back to the house and started getting World of Warcraft installed on a couple computers so we could play. Of course it ended up that I needed to download like 4GBs worth of patches, so we just got that going and then I brought her back to her truck and we parted ways. I head to barn to get my chores done and she headed home. Didn't do too much that night, just relaxed.

Today, I woke up, finished up the Warcraft patches, and headed out to get my chores done at the barn. Then Emilie and I met up (she had another job interview this morning, which seemed to go well from what she told me) and grabbed some food from the general store. Came home and played like an hour or so of Warcraft. We went with humans, she's a paladin and I am a mage. We're on Turylon (I think that's the spelling haha). Then we kind of had a mini nap, and then she headed home.

So I guess the rest of the afternoon, I might practice some more paper cranes, maybe some Japanese, and then I might work on some coding and/or Dirty Jobs :)

I'm Waiting For You...

 Work is eh, getting rather mundane. The shit I do is well below my level and it's really starting to get to me. It's so boring. I guess I really shouldn't complain though because I'm actually quite lucky to even have a job at all, and one that pays well with good benefits. So yeah, I'll stop complaining about that crap now.

[info]emilie came over for pizza and movies on Friday. We had a really great time. Things are definitely looking up between us and that really makes me happy. I know we can work our shit out and all. I am really glad we can hang out and have as much fun as we do. We ended up watching City of Ember which was really neat. I really enjoyed it. Then we just hung for a little bit, I think I gave her a back massage or something and then she went home. She doesn't really like driving around when it's dark and all. So yeah, had a really great night with her.

Saturday, I really didn't do much, worked on some web things, mostly for a new web project that [info]morgan  and I are doing. No details yet, there's still a VERY lot of work to be done haha

Sunday, I texted with Emilie a bit, then was going to start watching a movie, but my best buddy Greg called and told me to come over. He lives down in MA now, he's originally from here and we've been friends forever, so anyways, he's up visiting with his fiance. So I drove over there, and we hung out there for a bit. Had some delicious angel food cake (that's what it's called right?), watched some of the Bruins/Devils game...I think when we left it was like 3-0 Bruins, I'll assume they went to win it, but I have no idea. Then me, him, and Jess went to the barn, I finally got to show him my horse. I let them give him some treats haha, I am sure he loved that. So then we went to Frankie's (also know as Friendly's to normal people) and got some eats. I've not been there since the summer, during one of my trips down to MA to see him of course.

So then I drove them back to Darko's and I came home myself. Finished, or rather started and finished Slumdog Millionaire. Was a pretty good movie, I liked it. So now I'm just reading a few things, I don't really feel very tired anymore, not sure what's up with that cause it's like 12:30am now. Oh well.

Emilie is going to come over tomorrow. Going to probably watch some movies, maybe take a nice walk and work on some job stuff. It'll be good!! I suppose I'll go watch some TV or something now and passout! :)

Hold On...

Sunday, [info]emilie  was sick so she didn't end up coming over. It was okay though cause she called me and we talked for a bit so that was nice. Then Monday I got her to help me with my car and picking it up from the repair place. I spent like $100 on repairs, and it needs another like$400-500. Uuugh, I think once I get that stuff done I'm definitely trading it in for a Subaru WRX. There's really no sense in me dropping more money into it.

I did have a consulting appointment on Monday today, which was before I got together with Emilie, but it was really easy and quick. Then we picked up my car, got lunch at Quiznos, then headed out to the barn. I took a couple photos of Nippet, she took a couple of me and I took a couple of her. We just had a fun time :) After that, we came back to the house, I let her work on her resume and get a couple copies printed off. Then we just hung for a little bit and then she was off.

Today, nothing special. I wanted to flash the Cisco switches with some new firmware, but didn't get to it. Maybe this weekend. Nothing special going on this week except Norma Jean and Underoath on Friday which is going to be amazing. Weekend not much going on, I'll probably end up hanging out with Emilie I would think.

Fairpoint sent me a bill this weekend, after I had cancelled my service like back in January...so I called them today, I think was on hold for like 30 minutes, sheesh. Finally got through and got it taken care of, apparently their bill processing is a bit behind, so even though the service was cancelled, the billing part of it wasn't, so they're going to get that taken care of.

Alright, well, I'm tired and I've got work in the AM, oh joy. Hahaha.

Nom nom nom!

Hello everyone!

Today was rather a boring day at work. I had probably 2-3 hours of work, then I just kind of messed around on some websites and "profiled" them. I guess someone else can use it they know which each of the sites contains, rather then having to visit them and see for themselves, they can just refer to the things I am putting together. So yeah, eventually work came to an end. I ended up driving myself to work this morning. It was nice because I got to make myself breakfast this morning, and wake up a bit later then usual.

Got to chat with [info]emilie a bit at work until her Internet died a few minutes later haha. Hrmm, so after work, I went to the barn, and met up with Emilie, was nice to see her there. She hasn't been in a long time, so it was cool. I also reminded Bethany that I would give her $100 if she got all A's. Em got to see Bethany's new horse too and the new pony, Suki. Then we both groomed Nippet. We pretty much made a mini-horse out of all the hair that he's shedding lol. It's that time of the year again haha.

Then we went out to dinner at one of our favorite restaurants, thai food. Was really good, we got our usual, but we tried the fried banana with coconut ice cream for dessert. We skipped appetizer so I think this was the first time we had dessert and it was good! Then we just walked around town for a little bit and then went our ways. I definitely had an amazing time with her. I really appreciate every minute I am with her. It's so great.

Tonight, nothing big planned, probably just watch a movie and pass out. Tomorrow isn't going to be anything special but I do have a bunch of work lined up. I think Emilie and I might get together on Sunday too, maybe go see Coraline or Watchmen. Anyone seen either? Good? Bad? Friday, nothing planned...but yeah, things are looking up. I'm falling in love...again... :)

Take care kids xoxo

Do You Feel Alive...?

Just got a whole ton of new music. I've actually not listened to much of it yet, but the new Vanna album is quite amazing. It's definitely going to go on my iPod :) I've been working a lot on adding stuff into Delicious Library. I've completed movies, so I guess next I'll work on video games and TV shows. We're like 7 episodes away from having 4,000 TV episodes haha. We've also got like 950 movies which is nuts. I'm really hurting on space now haha. I can't wait to get a new server. I'll be able to offload like 100GB+ onto there.

Yesterday, I didn't really do much, actually, I did like nothing at all haha. Around 2 or so, I went to the barn and worked there. It's so nice seeing all the horses and everything. Was also really nice to see Rita and Bethany and her new horse Joy. She's a really good looking horse. After that, I stopped by the old apartment and we picked up the server rack and a few other items that had been left behind. Got back and put everything that would fit in the rack, in there. I'll have to take some photos, maybe this afternoon :) Or how about right now :)


 
More Photos... )


More Photos... )

So there you have it, a few photos. I am really hoping to get that new database server before the beginning of summer. We're really in need of a decent box for handling it all. Today...

Woke up around 9...definitely a bit later then I was hoping for, but it's okay. I think I finished a Dirty Jobs episode, got some breakfast. Then [info]emilie called and we chatted for a bit, figured out some plans for today. I think I'll head to the barn around 2pm or so, get my chores done, then we're going to meet up at the grocery store and pickup some stuff to make a nice meal at her place...I dunno what else we're going to do. I'll finally be able to see my kitty.

Hopefully the roads aren't too bad. I guess just take it nice and easy and it'll be fine. So now I'm going to read a bit of my Anime Insider mag and maybe watch a movie. Have a lovely day everyone! :)

My Life Is Ick

Just wanted to post a quick update, I recently broke up with [info]emilie and my life is a complete effing mess. I've definitely been trying to read everyone entries and commenting, but I do not have it in me to write up any of my own.

I'm trying to get everything sorted and what not, but give me some time. I'm hoping to work things out with her, but you never really know. All that I know is that I love her very much, and she means everything to me.

Thank you.
