| Gmail is cool. |

And by 'Gmail is cool', I mean 'I am a big geek'.
Gmail works with Hebrew and English in the same message, and it even knows how to do the highlighting in the proper directions on the different languages. How cool is that?
In case you were wondering, the reason I know this because I've had email correspondence with someone in Israel who wants to buy a KiloWatts CD, and their email header information is in Hebrew. |

Check this out - It costs about $100 less to fly from San Francisco to Philadelphia than it does to fly from San Francisco to Chicago on the same dates, even though the flight to Philadelphia goes through Chicago. What the fuck? |

I've been slacking on the LJ again, too. I'd like to say I've just been super busy, but that's only half an excuse. I can find time for reading other people's journals. I should be able to find time to write in my own. There's work, of course, which takes up way too much of my time. And since I'm traveling all the time, when I actually am back home, I'm always going out at night so I can see people. I'm really sad that I'm missing ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=92.1) jamiewatts rock out at his CD release show. I put a lot of work into making that happen.
And I've been getting everything ready for the aforementioned KiloWatts CD release, including a bunch of website fixes and improvements. You should all check out the CD here or here. And buy it. Because it is awesome. For those of you that I come into real physical contact with, just tell me that you want one, and that way I won't have to charge you for shipping. And for the iTunes inclined, I finally have deep links from our site into iTunes for a bunch of our music. Getting the new KiloWatts on iTunes is in progress. Not sure exactly how much longer that's going to take, but it's pretty much out of my hands now.
I've been talking to my mortgage broker peeps and my real estate peeps about selling my house and buying a new house. It should be an adventure. I need to do some cleanup on my place before I can really sell it. New carpet. Some landscaping love. A little touching up here and there, and a couple Lysol grenades. It will be a lot easier to clean out and keep clean once my current roommates move out. I haven't really started looking at new places yet. I want a place with a garage apartment or the like that I can turn into a semi-permanent studio. It'll even be kept cat-free in the interest of Martin's respiratory system.
I'm going to ask my boss if I can expense flights to other places for the weekend instead of back to Austin if they're the same price or cheaper. Given a couple weeks lead time, I can fly from San Francisco to New York cheaper than I can fly from San Francisco to Austin. That's right. I'm jet-set. Fuck off. |

Diet Dr. Pepper, although it may taste more like regular Dr. Pepper than Diet Coke tastes like regular Coke, or perhaps more than antifreeze tastes like bubble gum, is still a bit... off. NutraSweet is just kind of nasty. For reasons beyond my comprehension, the fridge at work is stocked only with diet sodas. Being only an occasional resident of this office, I probably don't have a lot of sway in the beverage selection.
This town is way too small sometimes. Just about everyone and their mom was out at retro night last night at Elysium.
I have a ton of work do to and a million things to take care of. |

Reply to this post and...
1. I will tell you what song reminds me of you.
2. I will tell you what celebrity/public/fictional person you remind me of, either personality-wise or looks-wise.
3. I will give you one word that I associate with you when I think of you.
4. I will tell you what color(s) I associate with you.
Then steal this for your journal and make someone else's day as well. |

For anyone interested, here are some photos from our New Year's Eve festivites.
I've been neglecting my journal of late. I'll try to remedy that a bit. |
