Well, the piano tuning biz has been a tad slow, but that’s typical during the summer. But I still had a pretty good day today! I started out by meeting a reporter for the “Beach Reporter”, a local paper in the South Bay that has pretty decent circulation.
They shot some action pics of me jumping off stuff, and got some shots of me riding my 36er also, then she asked me a bunch of questions and I also gave her some quotes and so it should be a good write-up–it comes out next Thursday.
Then I did a fun Muni ride followed by a 17 mile coker ride along the beach bike path, where I was joined by two friends on contraptions called “bicycles!” Then stopped on the way back home at “pick up styx” for a nice chicken & rice dinner! Then got a call on the cell just before getting home; it was somebody wanting to buy the used piano I have for sale! Good day all around.
Most people wouldn’t consider this a good day, but I do:
-GOT MY FFXI ACCOUNT REACTIVATED WOOOO
-To go with that, found out my old character form last year was still intact =D
-Oh and got this freaking awesome 7-disc FFXI soundtrack downloaded, cause Nobuo Uematsu is a friggin genius.
-Found tons of extremely helpful tutorials for the BGE, including a couple that involve Python
-Bought a nifty wireless mouse
-Bought a PC game controller for FFXI, flawless control =D
I had an okay day at work, and then in the evening I went downtown with some friends and rode around on my uni. We went to a bar and played pool for a while and I rode my uni throught the mall:D .
and we found a few train cars stopped on the tracks so i climbed up and rode my uni around. It was fun cuz they are like 15 feet high. I was going to jump over to the other train but it was so dark that I didn’t because i could barely see.
And this is the first time i have riden around downtown and not gotten kicked out of anywhere for riding or having my uni:)
BGE - Blender Game Engine, basically how one can use the program Blender 3D to make games. I made a real basic one the other day, but I was proud of myself anyway.
Well, seeing as this thread has been much more successful than my “bad day” thread, I guess I’ll post something.
I’ve been having a good day every day for the past month. There have been certain hours where I’ve felt like nothing seemed to be going my way, but then everything looks up.
Today I heard from the insurance company that, taking the current post-accident value of the car into consideration, they are willing to give me an option to either
a) take a $2600 check and find a new, used car
b) have the car fixed for $2400
Even though the prospect of picking out a “new” car is quite alluring, I’m leaning more towards option ‘b’. The car runs fine, has less than 90k miles, we know the vehicle’s history and previous owners personally, and it gets good gas mileage.
I have until Monday to make up my mind.
I found out today that I will be starting my new job at Office Depot on Sunday.
I had a great time bowling tonight.
I have plans to go snorkeling again tomorrow, providing weather and transportation allows for it. Can you believe that one of my girl friends grew up here and has never once been snorkeling?!
…She just learned how to ride a bike earlier this week, too.
…She’s also never flown a kite…
Woke up this morning and realised I’m not 22 anymore and that three nights of good fun, good drinking, good friends and not nearly enough sleep will catch up on you and eventually leave you with a stonker of a hangover.
Inspired by this fine quote:
, I realised the day would only get better.
And how much better?
MUCH!
The English Premier League starts again today, after an off-season of 82 days.
Eish! That was a very long 82 days.
Liverpool will kick off their campaign away at Aston Villa.
me too. 7 months ago my wife got pregnant, so we‘ve been quite busy putting everything together for this great moment. Along with that I‘m going for a bike/motorcycle/cars event for presenting a feel trials with a couple friends, so we‘ve been practicing a lot for the past days.
And tonight I‘m performing at a sweet sixteen party - in brasil it‘s actually a sweet fifteen party - which will provide some extra money.
I’m having a good day today. Jim’s making a curry. It smells gorgeous and I’m starving because I’ve just been out for a fantastic unicycle in the hills. Fab scenery, quiet roads and a great work-out.
This morning was a quiet, lazy morning playing ‘magic shows’ with my son. After some practice we did the show for Jim. One thing is for sure, I’m no magician.
Yesterday was a good day too. I didn’t have to drive 40 miles to work as I was working from home. I was also looking after my son, who played nicely with his friends so that I was actually able to do some work so I didn’t feel guilty about spending work time babysitting.
I took delivery of some new clubs and had time to play with them. In the evening I went to Karate.
The day before was a good day too, and the day before that, and …etc.
Ok, I and two friends were riding into town, when one rough looking lad standing in a driveway pushed me sideways hard, into the road, off my unicycle. I re mounted, rode along and became the subject of a pursuit. One of my friends was also pushed off, punched in the ribs and then slapped round the face after being goaded into the road. Me and jack rode away whilst mark stayed at the back contented, with two of these boys (16-17 yrs old) kicking his unicycle and trying to grab it off him. Mark got away and we rode briskly further towards town, when one began to shout ‘‘OI’’ (at me I believe) about four times, before he ran up behind me, bear hugged me from behind dragging me to the floor along with my unicycle. He then went back to his mates to get his street cred.
We think they were stoned and/or drunk, but they were not safe…
Today was AWESOME!!! I WENT DOWN TO MY (playground) PARK AND I WAS JUMPING UP BENCHES, WELL TRYING, THE HIGHEST JUMP FOR ME WAS 28 INCHES, BUT TODAY I JUMPED ON TOP OF A 30 INCH BENCH!!!
