How, Why Stress?

2008-01-29T20:20:00.000-06:00

I'm falling behind already in this semester. I thought I would get to graduate in December, Now it is starting to look like May 2009. I hate Math, I don't understand Algebra. The last time I took a math class was in 92' before that, I took Algebra my JR year in High School that would be 86'. Why did I wait so long? Why did I forget? How can I jog the memory to remember this is not that hard, I just can't remember!

Working @ Apple

2007-11-18T23:59:00.000-06:00

I still think I have to say this is the best job I have ever had. It is not the most money I have ever made... It is the lower end of the scale but I like going to work! I have 10 - 20 % stress compared to 80 - 90 % and 100 % at House of blues. I like the people I work with and look forward to the next day. The only problem I have is cash, I am still a spoiled princess but am learning how to deal with having no cash. I don't like it, but it is worth it!

Today

2007-11-16T13:29:00.001-06:00

A friend sent me an e-mail today that he has a job interview at Apple, Yea! I hope he gets hired, he's a great person and it would be good for him! Plus, he will learn a lot about computers just by being around them! Ive been wasting the morning playing on Pandora, there is a link to the right a few of my stations are listed! Hard to determine what kind of music I like when it is all over the board. I will alway like Elvis Costello, I will alway like Henry Rollins. but then there are days I want to listen to bowling for soup and Red Hot Chili Peppers... I just guess I am a very diverse individual. No, I like what I like if you don't like it, DON"T LISTEN TO IT!
Have a great one, I have to go to work in a few!!!

I still think I'm on a bi-polar roller-coaster. But I refuse to go back on anti-depressants. I have found if I stay positive and around positive people I stay more balanced. In school, focusing is still a bit of a problem. It takes a lot to pay attention. I gave a psych presentation. I think it went well. I have to recreate a scene from Dick Tracy in Lighting and gather everything from this semester for a lighting portfolio / reel. Next week I have to redo a room that took 4 weeks the first time for 3d modeling and rendering. I have registered for spring. I am thinking I am going to take off summer, or maybe take a photo shop or web design class to far ahead to decide. Thanksgiving is next week. maybe I can stop for a day to relax. I forgot, I have a 20 lbs turkey to cook, forget that idea!

My son has problems, this is not new. When certain friends are around he turns into monster. He has now decided to become evil incarnate. Just because one friend came back from Colorado. When did it become cool for an Irish kid to dress and act urban black and want to become a gangster?

You Are Sunset

Even though you still may be young, you already feel like you've accomplished a lot in life.

And you feel free to pave your own path now, and you're not even sure where it will take you.

Maybe you'll pursue higher education in a subject you enjoy - or travel the world for a few years.

Either way, you approach life with a relaxed, open attitude. And that will take you far!

The Soup in Dallas

2007-08-28T11:51:00.000-05:00

The Soup came home last night, Bowling for Soup ended their summer tour at House of Blues Dallas. A high energy show started with Army of Freshman. Great show! Still don't top the master of Satellite Party, but a great show! BFS on stage is fun, they een stop in the middle of a song to let the audience take a picture, while playing Yankee Rose, then jump back to their songs. Army of Freshman jumped on stage as did Jarrett jump on stage with Army of Freshmen. Young crowd, hyper crowd, goodnight all around!

Perry Ferrell still a Gawd!

2007-08-25T01:54:00.000-05:00

Tonight started with Mink, Surprise, great band!! Girl drummer rock harder than most guys I have seen! I have not decided who they remind me of that I have seen live! After the tear down and set up.....Satellite Party!!!!!!! Off of heroin and incredible! This is the best show I have seen at House of Blues Dallas yet! High energy and fun. Perry's new band features his wife and has his kids with him, I love Jane's Addiction, They played stop, Got caught stealing and Jane says. The only thing that could have made it better was for them to play Classic Girl., But they did play the pyros song we make great pets. If you have the opportunity to see this band live, jump and run to get tickets quickly! Do not miss this band live. A few people were thrown out, I got to run on stage and pull some odd woman off of Perry and get her out of the club. One guy was thrown out kicking, punching and screaming. He went to jail barefooted. I lost my hat! Oh well, I will get another one this week! Have a good one!!!!!

Ok, I was inside for a show tonight. It was a great show! John Popper is half the man he used to be!! He is not skinny, but he is a lot smaller than before! Great music, easy crowd. Played a few old songs! They also played "The Devil went down to GA scratch that, Dallas" Fun Fun tonight. I wish every show we had was like this one! What is that thing he uses when he plays Harmonica? It looks like a cross between a mic cord and a conch shell! Well, I'm sleepy. I will let you know what else is going on! Still need to go look for another job! I like HOB, but I can't pay my bills there!

Ween?

2007-08-13T15:46:00.000-05:00

I think I am one of the few people who don't really know anything about this band. Saturday was a sold-out show at House of Blues Dallas. A lot of pathoulli drench dread lock arrived in the heat of a Dallas August afternoon. Same drill, no cameras, no knives or mace and no sharpies! 1 of 3 was sent back to their car with a camera or pocket knife. I guess rules don't apply to hippies. After 3 hours of heat and crowds of people, I went upstairs to play security guard. OK, my title is Event Staff, basically, I am supposed to check to see that everyone in a seat has a ticket for that seat. I missed the fun part of that job! I was outside sweating like a whore in church! I must say, Ween was not bad. Alternative band, appeared to be early to mid 30's same with the crowd. They played for a little over 3 hours. Music was good, definitely a Flipside or Burning man type crowd. I could easily see most of them at either party. A fun crowd, Yes I am thinking a lot about burning man right now, it is 2 maybe 3 weeks away and I don't think I am going to be able to go! Getting back to Ween, interesting show, VERY Long Drum solo! The only thing, I don't know how to piss up a rope?

I really need to move again!!!!

2007-08-08T22:08:00.001-05:00

I live in an apartment, my home was foreclosed in May. So I live around too many people too close together. Today I came home to a APC Swat vehicle. After a few phone calls, I found out they were executing a search warrant and would release a press release at a later time. I saw a few police cars and the armored box. One of the vehicles was a k-9 unit so I can assume it was a drug warrant. So , it's time for me to look for somewhere else to live... Maybe I will win the lottery!!! I guess I need to start playing the Texas Lotto.

2007-08-06T12:54:00.000-05:00

Last night at work I was inside the concert. Marc Cohn, how do people listen to this without slashing their wrists? It was depressing, boring and horrible. The opening act was screechy and whinny folk music, then came Marc Cohn. Death to me! I was in a stationary position could not walk away, could not leave. The chatter or the radio was all talk of suicide and death thanks to this guy. He even announced the next few songs are a little depressing.... no kidding! The only song I had ever heard was walking in Memphis, He sand two lines and the crowd sang the rest.....Kill me !!!! If you have a death wish, want to have the final straw that will send you over the edge, see this guy live. I am sure some people like this, I am not one of them. This is my opinion and not the views of everyone I work with, mine!!! Ill try to get over this, my mental health may have been permanently damaged. I'm sure I will bounce back!!

Gallagher @ HOB Dallas

2007-08-05T15:29:00.000-05:00

As you know, I work at House of Blues Dallas. I don't get to see a lot of shows but once in a while I do get to see some.. Last Night, Gallagher. For a 61 yr old man I guess he is ok.. Now, Grey Hair, receding. No, He is bald on top. Get frustrated easily with audience. Stops the show to address a heckler. in fact, he spent a good part of the show addressing people in the audience. He had security remove 2 people. after 15 minutes of banter. The show was about 2 hours and 45 minutes. The only props were food tables. He discussed education and differences between men and women. He is a 61 yr old man with 61 year old views. I can't take the things he said seriously because he was a man on stage smashing cakes, corn and sour kraut. and a 45 minutes lesson on how to create flying food explosions with a sledgehammer. If you get free tickets, it is worth it to go see him live. If you buy them, get the cheap seats, So far the best show I have seen at House of Blues Dallas would be tied between Big Bad Voodoo Daddy and The Blues Brothers Review starring Dan Ackoryd and Jim Belushi. Skinny Puppy was better when I was doing drugs. I did get a chance to sit in on Reverend Horton Heat's sound check. Still sounds as great as ever. That is a show everyone should see at least once! I've seen him play a few times. ALWAYS A GOOD TIME!

Invite share

2007-07-29T15:10:00.000-05:00

InviteShare.com can help you get in on all those hot private betas you’ve been missing. The concept is simple: Users who want invites post a request online. Users with extra invites send them out. The more invites users share, the higher they move on the beta invite waiting lists they’ve signed up for.

There’s a lot of buzz around InviteShare at the moment, which means competition is pretty stiff for the best invites. But the service is free, so there’s really nothing to lose.

Long time no blog!

2007-07-22T10:33:00.000-05:00

Ok, so I haven't done this in a while. I been thinking;ouch, it does hurt! I left titty bars back in December 2006, after 20+ years I thought I really needed to be out! So I got out. I worked for AFI film Dallas, went to work at House of Blues and I hate it! I love AFI, but the problem it is only 2 weeks a year... House of Blues sells a lot of crap. When you are hired you are brainwashed with Peace, Love and Diversity. After you are there it is nothing like that. So I am thinking I am going to go apply at a titty bar as a waitress again! At least there, I know what they are selling. I am not knocking House of Blues, It is a nice place, but it will get me nowhere, except homeless. As a single parent, I have responsibilities that have to be met. I a daughter of an aging parent I am responsible for it gets me nowhere. I graduate in a year. My schedule would be easier it I could get the flexibility of gentleman's clubs. My pocketbook might actually have a little cash in it! In the last two weeks I have worked approximately 18 hours a week. I can't pay anything that way! I was told yesterday to talk to my boss to see if I could also work in Box Office at House of Blues, but that is only 8.++ an hour, still can't pay bills. So after writing this blog today, I know what I have to do! Swallow the pride, go talk to a titty bar about making money slinging beer. Just hope at 37 years old I am not too old!

I have been thinking... o k I know that is a stretch, but still thinking. I read an article on Digg. It was about this woman in San Fransisco who needed a Mac Book Pro, In order to get it she sold ad space on the cover of the mac book. Here is what I was thinking; My degree I am working on is Radio, Television, Video Broadcasting. I would like a Mac Book Pro with Final Cut Pro and Photoshop/ Illustrator, but I need an Hd Camera. You cannot laser etch a HD Camera. But, You can etch a case. Maybe a Zero Halliburton or Pelican case. So how can someone help me buy an HD Camera?

purchasing an ad, making a donation, promoting the site, or helping with the etching process!

2 things to be etched
Halliburton Case
and if enough interest is generated
Ill even etch the macbook pro..

I live in Dallas, The case and computer will be seen in and around Dallas , Film Festivals ETC...
BTW... HDNet is in Dallas Go Mavs!!!

Jarhead: welcome to the suck

2005-11-02T15:53:00.000-06:00

Last night I went to the advance screening of jarhead staring Jake gyllenhaal and Jaime foxx. Wow! A look inside of the marines. Do you have what it takes? A look inside desert sheild. Not only the seriousness of war also some of the fun and camaraderie spending over 500 days in the desert. Welcome to the suck, Jarhead is a powerful movie oo-rah!

Jarhead based on the book JarHead by Anthony Swofford. A marines story of the gulf war and other battles. A story of boredom, sadness, excitement, longing and fear. as seen through the eyes of Anthony Swofford.

I personally liked the movie even though I am not a person who in any way supports war. I have family and friends who fought in desert shield/ Storm. I am not sure I understand any more by watching however I appreciate them more. And I learned terms I had never heard before. I did like the movie.

About the movie taken from the website

"Like most good and great Marines, I hated the Corps. I hated being a Marine because more than all of the things in the world I wanted to beÃ—smart, famous, sexy, oversexed, drunk, fucked, high, alone, famous, smart, known, understood, loved, forgiven, oversexed, drunk, high, smart, sexyÃ—more than all of these, I was a Marine. A jarhead."
- Anthony Swofford, Jarhead
In the summer of 1990, Anthony Swofford, a 20-year-old third-generation enlistee, got sent to the deserts of Saudi Arabia to fight in the first Gulf War.
In 2003, his memories of that time in that place became the best-selling book Jarhead. Swofford wrote with the urgency, immediacy, honesty and humor that could only come from someone who had lived through the experience itself.
Swofford's book spent nine weeks on The New York Times list of best sellers and was hailed in that same publication as "some kind of classicÃ…a bracing memoir of the 1991 Persian Gulf War that will go down with the best books ever written about military life. A wild passage familiar to millions of young men but rarely so well revealed."
The Times' Michiko Kakutani noted that Jarhead was "an irreverent but meditative voice that captures both the juiced-up machismo of jarhead culture and the existential loneliness of combat. He makes us understand the exacting and deadly art practiced by a sniperÃ…the rhythm of boredom and terror of preparing for an enemy attack and the terrible physical and psychological costs of combat and the emotional bonds shared by the soldiers."
Here was the unvarnished story straight from the mouth of the then 20-year-old kid, who told of a very different war from the one delivered in print or over the air. Here was the war from the ground up with images of burning oil wells shooting flames into the night sky, like comets that had fallen to the earth; rowdy, horny, dusty recruits, exhilarated and also terrified that at any moment, over the next hill, the war might begin; young men, suddenly dropped down in an unforgiving terrain, seeking diversion in a game of gas mask football, awaiting care packages of letters and porn, betting on staged scorpion fights and getting blind drunk to celebrate a Christmas away from their families. But out of this hellish situation ultimately arose unlikely friendships, fierce loyalty and do-or-die camaraderie;a brotherhood of jarheads sworn to be always faithful;semper fi.
Red Wagon producers, Academy AwardÃÂ® winner DOUGLAS WICK (Gladiator) and LUCY FISHER (upcoming Memoirs of a Geisha), immediately snapped up the rights to the book and commissioned screenwriter and ex-Marine WILLIAM BROYLES, JR. (Academy AwardÃÂ® nominee for Apollo 13) to adapt Swofford's memoir. Wick and Fisher also sought out the only director they felt could bring Jarhead to the motion picture screenÃ—Academy AwardÃÂ®-winning director SAM MENDES, who had previously probed beneath the surface calm of suburbia in American Beauty and examined the intersection of family ties and criminal violence in Road to Perdition.
Mendes and the filmmaking team now collaborate on the next generation of war movies with Jarhead, an unforgettable view of war as seen through the eyes of one MarineÃ—as if J.D. Salinger's Holden Caulfield had been deployed to the Gulf.
JAKE GYLLENHAAL (upcoming Brokeback Mountain, The Day After Tomorrow) heads a brilliant ensemble cast and tackles the central role of Tony "Swoff" Swofford, who transforms from third-generation enlistee with half-formed visions of valor into a veteran, the only one who knows the true cost of war. PETER SARSGAARD (Kinsey, Shattered Glass) portrays Troy, Swoff's partner in their elite unit of Marine scout/snipers, whose unflappable exterior conceals a stormy and mercurial nature. OscarÃÂ® winner JAMIE FOXX (Ray, Collateral) plays Staff Sergeant Sykes, a lifer who commands the Surveillance and Target Acquisition (STA) Platoon with bulldog tenacity and an unwavering sense of nationalism. And OscarÃÂ® winner CHRIS COOPER (Seabiscuit, Adaptation) portrays Lieutenant Colonel Kazinski, the commander who itches to unleash his killing machine on an overmatched enemy.
Joining director Mendes behind the camera are a group of esteemed and award-winning film artisans, including director of photography ROGER DEAKINS (five-time OscarÃÂ® nominee for such films as The Man Who Wasn't There and The Shawshank Redemption), production designer DENNIS GASSNER (Road to Perdition, Academy AwardÃÂ® winner for Bugsy), editor WALTER MURCH (who won OscarsÃÂ® for both The English Patient and Apocalypse Now) and costume designer ALBERT WOLSKY (OscarÃÂ® winner for both Bugsy and All That Jazz).
Providing the musical landscape that underscores Swofford's external and internal battles are composer THOMAS NEWMAN (Road to Perdition, American Beauty and a seven-time Academy AwardÃÂ® nominee) and music supervisor RANDALL POSTER (The Aviator, The School of Rock). SAM MERCER (Signs, The Sixth Sense) and BOBBY COHEN (Memoirs of a Geisha, The Cider House Rules) serve as executive producers, and the casting is by DEBRA ZANE (Traffic, American Beauty).

I got off work at 3am Wednesday morning, went home picked up my son and fill up the car with gas. I drove from Dallas to Galveston. I picked up my cousin Dave. I was hoping to surf, but there was not a wave in sight. It was a very surreal feeling on the island. I reminded myself everyone was in the same situation, In the path of a category 5 hurricane. 2 people needed there car jumped off, we stopped and helped. I would want someone to do it for me. About an hour and a half later, we left the island. I drove around just to remember what it all looked like in case I would never see it again. 10:20 am fill up with gas, and head for the causeway. Lots of traffic, but it was moving about 60 mph, stopped in Texas (toxic) City to go to get wendy's and sodas . (why did I not bring a cooler and water?) and back on 45. Traffic was getting heavy, by the time I made it to Hitchock, I was driving 5 - 10 MPH. Ok, this can't last. By 2 pm I noticed we had driven 25 miles. Ok, this is not looking good. After being in a car for 8 hours, my battery died and had to be jumped off, I made it to Conroe. (Normally an 1 hour drive from Galveston) Took 8 hours to get there. I was determined to buy a battery, and water. Ok 1/2 right. I found Sam's Wholesale. I got the battery, they were out of water! How can someone be out of water? Ok, 3 sodas 1 water for the dog, and a pack of gatorade and the battery. Back to 45. Traffic is moving because they have shut off the highway. 1 entrance every 5 - 10 miles. Got on the freeway, conroe to Corsicana, another 4 hours, Price Gouging Hell! $3. 20 for a gallon of gas, I had to have gas, no choice, pay the inflated gas, he wants everyone out, he wants to close, very rude avoid at all cost. (Before Corsicana over a bridge nothing else there Texaco) back to 45. We arrive in Dallas/ Farmers Branch at 11: 40 pm. We are the lucky ones. Some people took a lot longer than we had experienced. A bus of elderly blew up in a town south of Dallas, the people of 45 behind that were stuck for an additional 6 hours while they put out the bus fire and tried to save some of the nursing home patients. I have to go back to Galveston next week to see if David's house is still there and standing. Then I have to find Jean and help her move into my house. Her home destroyed in Beaumont. Would I do it again? I'm not sure, however, it would be hard not to!

Exhausted

2005-09-22T11:42:00.000-05:00

I got off work at 3am, picked up my son and we drove to Galveston. first, to pick a friend of the family and bring them back to Dallas to sit out Hurricane Rita. 2 to go surf. 2 didnt work. there was no wind and as the pic below shows, no waves. it was really strange. Gridlock from Hell. It took 8 hours to drive 86 miles. Not kidding, 86 miles in 8 hours. we ran out of drinks, stopped admidst price gouging. Finnaly finding a burger king. get ice, get drinks....forgot the drinks.....oops. get 3 burgers. ok, battery died on side of the road, 2 people stopped to help, jumpoed off battery Conroe texas, Sams Wholesale,,,buy a battery and water.....they have no water? No water...ok get gatorade and 4 sodas (1 water for dog) go to the car, car starts put battery in trunk drive to Dallas it is 7pm . we left Galveston at 10 am we are in Conroe at 7....................8 HOURS 86 MILES

No surf for me! :-(

Hurricane

2005-09-05T14:47:00.000-05:00

I have spent wway too much time watching news, it's columbine and the world trade center. Katrina has taken oven my senses making them numb. I took my son to the hosp saturday night where I met a family from New Orleans. I sat and listened and cried for what seemed like hours. The lady I spoke to was maybe a few years older than me, However, going through what she went through she must be as old as her grandmother she was there with. Why did it have to happen like this?

Tension at work

2005-08-08T02:39:00.000-05:00

Money makes people do strange things. In a bar as a waitress it can cause fights. Tonight proved that. I wait on a customer, who was my customer before I moved the first time. I got to wait on him tonight. This is a person who get really drunk and opens and closes tabs many many times. 2 tabs are open, mine, and the bartender. This is normal, I am getting an order and another waitress comes over and say she has a tab with him.. Here comes the war, skip the battle. I don't drink, especially at work. The other waitress is drunk. Without a doubt Drunk. I have been at work at least 12 hours, I'm tired. I transfer the tab to the bartender. I do not want anymore of it. I'm done. Let her be a baby. Nope, the manager made her transfer her tab to the bartender. I still have tabs on the main floor, I go out there and come back just as I am being called a "fat F***ING bitch" NOT COOL, I am now sharked, insulted and maybe even threatened. Yes I am mad. I was told she is going to be sent home. After she does not get sent home. I ask to leave. Not good. I never ask to go. I am told no! Bad call, I go to the front to calm down, write out a brief note to the owner go back and tell the Mgrs I am closing my tabs, transferring them I don't care. I left. 2 calls on the way home apologizing, telling me she is going to have to write a letter of apology to me, that is worth nothing to me. Sorry, you have already run your mouth. I have no idea what is going to happen, I have to work Monday night. Ill see what happens, great things always happen when the owner and 3/4 of the managers are out of town. I don't know what to do right now?

Trying to download this weeks podcasts for the trip in the morning. Im back to using ipodder lemon. The new version works. Maybe I will have enough by morning.

Again, here 3 days

2005-05-18T19:47:00.000-05:00

I leave friday morning to Dallas to go to work. I need 3 grand to move. I even bought a lottery ticket. Hey, I can dream. This is going to be a pain in the butt moving this time. Not only am I going to have to move everything myself, I am going to have to buy furniture when I get there. The living room I have is old and the dogs have claimed it as their own. It will cost 370 to do it myself or 1200 if I pay someone to move me. I can buy furniture with the money I am saving. Please let me make around 3 or 4 thousand dollars this weekend. I have to go to court with the kid in the morning. hopefully it will go ok.

Still planning to Podcast

2005-05-11T21:27:00.000-05:00

I am still trying to decide how I want to create my Podcast. I have got to find the Kelly Kelly Kelly song from cheers, but it has to include Where's my gift. I am also trying to find a new aggragator. For some reason Doppler crapped out, Nimiq is acting funny and I have never been able to get ipodder to work. I guess I am going to try Primetime Podcast Receiver. It can't hurt. One of these days I will find a way to do everything I want with one ap. Also, I need to find the mic pre amp Dan Gregorie had at SXSW. I cant remember the brand, I didnt write it down or take a pic so it is my fault.

Not a good week

2005-05-05T22:08:00.000-05:00

The birthday sucked, no surprise. I spent a majority of it in the ER with my mother. She has emphysema, copd and mild alzheimers. I had no sleep for 36 hours Monday to Tuesday. I had to get brakes fixed on the car. Birthday, Wednesday, ordered Bridget Jones edge of reason. Good flick. It's a fairy tale. Horrible horrible meal at Outback, so bad they comped the meal. And gave me a certificate for a free dinner for 2 value 45.00. The worst waitress I had ever seen. I have never been treated as bad as that. After dinner, 'I was supposed to go buy something for myself, instead, I took moms to Emergency room. Not so much fun. Home at 7 am , go to school to deal with horrible evil principal, She succeeded in removing my son from school. He will be going to private school next year. I'm so done with public school. Ok, home around 11am, went to fry's Was going to use Moms credit card to buy my birthday present...Had to use mine because I had to show ID. So I bought my own present. 4pm at Target, Dak clothes for Alternative school. Still no sleep. That is twice in one week I have gone over twenty four hours without sleep. This cant be good. So My Birthday....Disaster. No Presents. No Fun, just more Drama!!!!! Dak is notorious for Drama! Puter Problems.....Doppler quit working. Kept asking to debug, still did not work. So I downloaded Nimiq. Another Dutch company aggragator, podcast enclosure grabber. I had to start from scratch on podcasts. I think I have most of the same. The Old Screen Savers are doing a podcast Kevin rose, Leo Laporte, Patrick Norton and I forgot the last one, HD expert at zd net. , still have the Leo Laporte podcasts. I have the Daily Source Code, Fatt Matt, re added Dawn and Drew, Quite a few music podcasts. Radio clash, mash cast and mashup.podcast. Gotta have the mash-ups on a drive in the middle of the night back to Austin. I am going to try to leave by 11:30 am Friday. It usually does not work out. (But I try) I know I need to move back to Dallas soon. So far Nimiq seems to be working ok. Hope most gets downloaded by morning on dial up. I can't find show notes like I could with Doppler. That is going to be a pain. I could be looking in the wrong place. Who knows. Haven't figured out what happened to Doppler. I really liked Doppler. I tried to re-install it and got the same error messages. I don't know what happened.

I have a 3 hour drive maybe 4 depending on how tired I am, I have to get some sleep. I will write more on Tuesday when I am back in Austin. _____Kelly :)

Updated Podcasts

2005-04-28T00:56:00.000-05:00

Again, I unsubscribed, subscribed and updated the podcast feeds. A little disappointed that there are no new fat matt's. I guess everyone needs a vacation once in a while. Subscribed to Loft 405, it's not downloading right. Also added Rock n Roll geek show, nothing to declare and incoherent mumblings. Still have catholic insider, Daily Source Code, Fatt Matt, radio clash, mashcast, mashup of the week, mashup.podcast, and of course Leo LaPorte. One of these days I will be finished deciding which podcasts I must listen to each weeks trip. I am considering creating my own podcast, but I have to decide on content and bandwidth. Not like I would have the audience of Dawn and Drew or Adam Curry, but maybe I could add something to the mix. Thank God I will not be going to work in a full moon. I do not want to go through that again ever!!!!!!!!!
It's late and I have a meeting at 10:30 thursday, need a bit of sleep. Will Chat Later

Kelly

Ok, I am back for a couple of days

2005-04-27T14:36:00.000-05:00

Cut my trip short because school is being an ass. Major gripe 1-3 1. ipod volume....Problem fixed eupod pro. The Ipod, has to be turned down a bit, 1/2 strength is at least 10 times louder than it was. 2. looney toon security guards. The Nature of the Lodge is the weak will weed themsevles out. Ok, kinda sorta not exactly. Barney Fiffe security also know as beret thought it funny to play with guns around people. Accidents happen and God watches over everyone there. No one was hurt (thank-you god) but who shoots or accidentally discharges a gun in a building full of people just playing around. ..... He's gone. 3. This has to do with downloading podcasts. People, when you make a podcast for me to download and listen to on my trip, Please Please do not use bit torrents to distribute it. I get little peaces of podcast, but never a show. Example Dash Riprock, I think they are using a torrent, not sure, Downloaded into ipod. How long is it, 13 seconds. This just wasted my time and made my drive a bit rougher. Please pay go daddy or other hosting service, ( I think go daddy is a hosting service) talk to your phone company or cable company, even work a deal of sponsorship, but don't give me 13 seconds.

Leave in Morning again!

2005-04-21T23:13:00.000-05:00

Again I am getting ready to leave in the morning. There has got to be an easier way to make a living. Keep telling yourself it will be easier when I move back. Your not kidding, that drive is killing me. Luckily, John, one of my best friends, keeps me in starbuck cards! I do not know where I would be without him! I have always had a habit of falling asleep while driving. I have awoke in a bar ditch, It runs in the family, One of my brothers hit a car . So Starbucks is a life saver. Almost done downloading all of the podcasts for the drive. Checked the status of free mp3 and free mini Mac.. They haven't changed! I am not going to change the "All thing free" page yet!

My birthday is two weeks away, For some strange reason, I am having a problem with this birthday. I am not that old. Well maybe I am, who knows anymore. At least this year I will not be spending my birthday at The Lodge. Granted, I love those guys, But this year, I am going to hide!

Updating The Ipod!

2005-04-21T00:46:00.000-05:00

I love podcasting! Different radio type show on demand. Every week I change doppler to get a variety on my trip. A few stay the same, the rest are dumped and replaced. The permanent ones are The Daily Source Code, Catholic Insider, Radio Clash, Leo Laporte, Fatt Matt and mashup of the week. I really do not change those. This week I added Jimmy Jett, between thought and expression, and dumpster bust. I have a few on the list that have never grabbed any feeds, I have no idea if they work or not. If I don't have anything before I get back next Monday, Ill dump those too. While in Austin I listen to Mash-ups driving. I don't go great distances and they do not take long. On my drive to Dallas Friday is when I'll listen to the longer podcasts.
I really need to move to Dallas, The 3 hour drive is driving me nuts, I will still be driving 45 minutes to get to work during traffic. However, I will be sleeping in my bed! I only have a month or so before I can move back. I will be putting my son in private school and guarding him closely, I kept him from smoking out on this " pot smoking day" but we did watch Reefer Maddness, the musical. Too funny, that will drive you to smoke.

Also, I am a sucker for free! I found a search engine that gives away Ipods, amazon gift cards and other stuff. But, if you are signed up a friend, not only do you get it, so does your friend! It's called Blingo. It uses Google search, (just like everyone else) so you will not lose anything by using it a few times a day! Who knows, I could use an extra Ipod. My son would be happy!

You're all about overreacting and just plain acting.

You see the world as your stage, and give a great performance.

And while you're friends may find you entertaining at times...

Everyone's secretly hoping that you'll just chill a little.

(But they'd never tell you - they fear your wrath!)

13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world.

20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences.

30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more!

40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

What Age Do You Act?

I'm Back!

2005-04-12T19:06:00.000-05:00

Another Week, more bills! How many bills do I need to acquire before I file bankruptcy? I guess I need to get an Egg Credit Card for people with bad credit! At work, a few of my old customers are finding out I am back. Now, I just need new customers that will buy me a powerbook. It is driving me crazy being without a computer for 4 days a week. I am discovering just how much of a geek I am. It is a realization I am not real happy to acknowledge. Hello, My name is Kelly C. And I am A geek. I am going through withdrawal symptoms every week when away from a computer. Maybe I should apply for an Egg Credit Card and get a laptop, I doubt they would give me that much credit!

Off to Dallas AGAIN!

2005-04-07T22:53:00.000-05:00

Again, I have to pack to go to work. As you have figured out, I live in Austin and work in Dallas. The reason for this is I can not get a decent job in Austin TX. I am too old, not blonde, not anarexoic. Many factors. I love my job. I have worked at the Lodge since 2002. I cannot think of a better place to work. However, the drive sucks! Not quite as bad as going to Lubbock and seeing nothing for hours but still sucks. There are two things that help me keep my sanity driving. 1. Air America Radio. I grew up a republican, now I'm not really sure.but I do like the idea of making politions accountable for their actions. I just found it in Austin, not sure how far it will go up to Dallas (It is AM radio) I have my trusty Ipod!. Adam Curry's Daily Source Code, Leo LaPorte, and Fat Matt will keep me entertained until my arivial. Radio Clash, MashCast and Mash-up of the week will get me through traffic gridlock. So far, the ipod is the best gadget I have ever acquired. I am going to have to buy a 40 or 60 g soon for I am running out of room! I will write again next week! now, I will finish writing, prepare to pack my suitcase, I already filled the car with 2 buck gas (2.16) and will return to Dallas. Still debating if I want to move back to Dallas. There is not another place as weird as Austin!

Love the new schedule

2005-04-05T15:29:00.000-05:00

I worked at The Lodge, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday! I love it, Still am not real crazy about Friday and Saturday. I can do without the 21 year old frat boys and couples who act like fools. But Sunday and Monday are great. Everyone who works gets along. Everyone has something to do and the crowd is great. I had forgotten when other waitresses when they ask you to take one of there tabs it is because they don't tip, That wont happen next week. They can wait on who they follow instead of always being greedy. Hell I am paying for a hotel, gas and my bills in Austin. Why should they screw me, they should not. The only thing I am not happy with at the Lodge is I lost my seniority. I have been banished to Service Bar. Which means, you have to push your way through dumb (Usually fratboy ) customers trying to get there and then wait until someone who has no idea how to ring anything takes 20 minutes to put in a bud light. The POS system at The Lodge is simple. It is not rocket science. I have noticed something else in the past 2 week's. The tension between most of the staff is gone. Maybe it was because of a manager that is no longer with us creating all the drama between everyone. I don't know. I know next weekend I have got to make a chunks of change or I won't be able to afford to go back. Dennis Rodman is supposed to be there on the 15th of April and he is going to teach the "Strip for your lover " class. A 7ft man with multi color hair on a pole, that will be funny. Go To The Lodge. It's is the nicest gentleman's club in the United states. It's in Dallas Texas. I'm there every weekend "slinging" beers and liqueur. I will be back writing later this week. Have a good one!
