A Few Things
I am alive and well, though busy. You know how it goes; full-time job, full-time GF… Yahoo’s training schedule is especially rigorous at nine hours a day/six days a week for three weeks (which, after seven months of unemployment, has goddamn killed me), but as soon as I’m on my regular work schedule I’m sure I’ll be finding time to get back to blogging.
Yahoo is pretty sweet so far. They really take care of their employees, and it’s not just the good pay and insane benefits. It’s really close to my apartment (two train stops) so I can get there in, literally, about five minutes. There’s also lots of silly little perks like discounts on public transit and wireless plans (I’m replacing my aging Razr with a Blackberry Pearl soon), a free coffee shop right on campus, free vending, etc etc. Plus you have to carry a thick plastic identification badge that you have to wave in front of doors in order to open them. This is so radical I consider it a perk — I’m sure you would agree. Word in class is that the cafeteria has a pretty good menu, but I can’t afford things like “food” until I get my first paycheck. I’m so far beyond completely broke, I’ve pretty much lived on free lattes and Cup Noodles for the past week. Thanks, Yahoo.
If any of the Casper folk didn’t get the net and are wondering where Cameron is, he moved to Portland. He even got an apartment in my special lady friend’s building, giving him plenty of opportunities to be third wheel. I’m sure he loves it. The rest of you are welcome to move out here at any time.
I’ve also finally updated Wordpress to the latest version — a project that has been on indefinite “put off until something horrible happens” until something horrible happened and its status was upgraded to “Ugh, I guess I’ll update” — so if anything on the site is acting goofy, please let me know so I can fix it two months from now.

Question: Does it annoy you if I say, “just a quick heads up?” I miss our witty and sarcastic repartee. Glad to hear you’re gainfully employed. You nerd. I’m going to go for the Blackberry Bold. Don’t be turning into one of those tempeh-eating, soy-based products, trendy hipster folk now…

On behalf of my Vegan/Vegetarian buddies…
Just what the hell is wrong with Tempeh or Soy based products? I suppose everyone that gnarls on some not-so-bad for-you grindage of the grimmace proportions every once in a while must wear tight pants, listen to indie rock that isn’t quite above ground yet, on their macbook pro, riding their fixie bikes.
Or you could just not lump shitty hipster butts in with the people that prefer a different diet. Cut ‘em some slack.
Here’s a secret, and don’t tell anyone, but I’ve seen Bill destroy a Boca Burger before. “Soy” it’s not so Bill!

Blackberry Bolds are too goddamn big. The Curve is a good compromise between functionality and size, but the Pearl finally won me over, despite the lack of a true QWERTY keyboard. There was much deliberation.
And I like some soy products. SOY SAUCE! ON MAH RAW FUCKIN STEAK!!!!! CAN I GET A HELL YEAH. SHIIIIIIT.

Bill, true leet h4×0rs know the way lies in the DVORAK layout. You give me a blueberry with a DVORAK in it, you’ve got yourself some JAM. SOY JAM. (band name)

Hell yes.

Buttsauce…my tempeh-soy sentence was directed to Bill, only Bill. It was in reference to a coversation we had. People can take a bath in tempeh and loofah themselves with it too. Don’t forget I’m Asian. Soy runs through our blood. Nuff said.
