i had this 8:30a meeting with my six sigma team and one of the vice presidents (these are the guys that make a $1mil+ and scare me) because they wanted a status of our project. and since i’m the guy that ran most of the numbers i was getting most of the questions deferred to me. jerks. anyway, everything went fine, and he seemed impressed, but you know that feeling when you’ve been running a long ways, and all of a sudden it feels like your feet are moving faster than your mind is comanding them to? i get that way with thought processes, where i’m thinking of the last part of my point, and i feel like it’s a crap shoot whether or not the words inbetween properly lead up to it. and i’m glad i wore a dark shirt… i sweat like crazy when i talk to important people and when i’m taking lots of creatine.

the vp did help calm my nerves though… when he walked in he asked who’s kid i was, since today is bring your child to work day, then he started cracking up, then everyone started laughing (’cause you can’t not laugh if one of these guys make a joke)

at saddle ranch, there was this guy that played music for a couple of bucks. everyone agreed it was like ben was hanging out with us that night:

taka couldn’t find a chair so i was a gentleman:

ooh , ooh, paris hilton’s sister:

by now we’re all kinda outa it and winding down:

i saw this photo on cnn the other day and thought it was pretty funny, but it’s even funnier when it’s next to other news headlines. :)

this fortune teller and her daughter were murdered in westminster, and i guess the dog was there and got beaten up too… they have the camera on the dog while they’re telling the story, and saying how he had broken leg and was cut in the face. then the reporter says, this little guy saw everything. but. he can’t. talk. (as if he could if he weren’t so badly injured)

xSpace1: ehh. your schedule isnt really more erratic than mine. you just gotta substitute american idol for japanese girls

i’m sure most of you’ve heard about that crazy japan rail train crash in osaka:

well get this: takako’s sister rides that line, and took the same train earlier in the day! crazy how that brings that whole tragedy closer to home.

on a similar note, how much does amanda pete look like a younger maria shriver?

this is pretty sick in both meanings of the term:

snake eating a kangaroo

eat at kento’s!

thanks marco.

finishing the game was kinda bitter sweet. i really loved playing the game, but it took so much time so quickly that i’m glad it’s over. it was like being addicted to cigarettes. i’ll hopefully give my ps2 a good break before i pick up another game… the school semester only has about a month left in it, so i’m probably best off waiting until then.
