Friends Gay and lesbian lifestyles Arts http://roos.blogdrive.com/archive/161.html Fri, 18 Apr 2008 23:52:39 GMT To Start. Wow, I'm so good at posting entries. Good thing blogging isn't cool anymore or I'd be even less cool than everyone else. But you know what. I'm still way better looking in out-dated baggy jeans than about 98% of the douchebag crew and their tacky ass skinny jeans. Hipster fashion looks lame. I'm not even going to say gaye because I'm in the center of Gay and we don't do skinny jeans. SF gays to comfy and kind of well dressed, but with way less effort than our outermerican counterparts. You can always tell a new gay by how much time/money (s)he spent on dressing up. Real...

Now before anyone says, "wow, what great work you do," bear in mind that I'm support. I'm the IT Manager which means that in the morning I step off BART, walk through the quickly changed demographic of our neighborhood and after passing the huddled and pathetic masses I walk up two flights and into my office. It has a door and the door locks and I share my floor with the executive staff. The clients seldom come up here and when they...

What's everything you ask? Good question. 1. I'm in CA now 2. I'm single-ish 3. I'm not in school anymore 4. I'm back working in computers How's that? Enough for you? Here's a little bit on how we got here. I stopped going to school two weeks before the end of last semester. Just woke up one morning and thought, "no, I don't want to do this." I'd just registered for fall classes, 5 of them, and had yet to be inspired by a rather dull library project we'd been given. In fact, that entire...

I have to say I'm really glad I went. I was kind of hoping for some really impressive train wreck or some amazing success story, but all I got was that just about everyone I knew (who showed up) is doing well. I think 10 years is still to close to HS to see where people will end up. My criticism for the reunion: Too expensive, Rohert Fucking Park Double Tree (need I say more), cocktail attire, low turn out. None of the people I ran with my senior year (the people I considered my close friends) showed. Not that I expected...

Not that I'm expecting great things to happen, but I can sleep a little better at night knowing that we're not dominated by self-loathing closet cases anymore. What strikes me as sad is how fucking long it's taken to get the majority on board with moving forward into the future instead of trying to hold on to a past that never really existed. What a great day as well that we are finally rid of Rumsfuck. Not that it gets us out of Iraq, but it shows that the lame duck monkey in the offal office is instantly...

Each fast-house has a 2 week turn around where we have to evaluate site information and lay out a house based on the given information and our own position of the program and the information given. Behold my first house. Is perty, no? Glad you think so. Let me walk you through. The gray box is the garage, below the rest of the house. This deals with the stupid submerged portion of the site. The path we were given ends up following a...

I'm so glad to have something interesting to take up all those brain cells that have been hibernating all summer. First day we get our first project, take a paragraph of metes and bounds instructions with height variations listed as changes in gravitational potential energy and determine a site plan to be used for the designing of a series of rapidly designed houses. Whee. What's the big deal, bitches? Glad you asked. height variables listed as GPE are dependent upon mass. Greater mass, less height, so you have heights that are...

And by my office I mean the temporary space I share with people who actually make this their living. How anyone could stay in an academic career for the insanely long times that these people have (one guy has been here 13 years, another over 20) is beyond me. We actually got back last Monday around 1am, but I'm just now getting back to work. Proof that I hate computers and hate sitting in a room that bores me. I'm fighting off the urge to nap right now. It's... (more) http://roos.blogdrive.com/comments?id=153 http://roos.blogdrive.com/archive/152.html Thu, 27 Jul 2006 19:34:50 GMT So I'm working, finally. The head of IT here at school got back to me after I sent him my resume at the beginning of the summer. I'm working on video conferencing and streaming which is actually kind of fun since I never really got to put my teeth around it as much as I would have liked at previous places and with the glut of bandwidth the world will have it will only make sense to understand how video/multimedia data is being shazamed across the planet and into our skulls. I'm trying to imagine how this can all work with my actual career in Architecture and so far it's only on a... (more) http://roos.blogdrive.com/comments?id=152
