9:26 am	What now In all of their great cleverness Vista doesn't have a good way to reset the password. I've sent a message off to Christopher, but he has yet to reply. So I may keep beating on it, or I may just see about a re-install. I would say Vista is stupid, but I know XP doesn't have an official password reset either, it has just been around long enough to have unofficial ones pop up. *Belly-ache* *Belly-ache* ( pictures and stuff ) (2 Comments |Comment on this)

8:08 pm	My week Let's see here. KJ came into town last Sunday. This all by itself made me very happy. We went to the park and found a new exciting friend. It is called the vomit-tromit. We had always ignored it before then, but my is it exciting. We played on it for awhile, then drunkly played on the rest of the playground before staggering home. That was a mighty bit of fun. We watched a ton of Scrubs. I really like Scrubs. They get some really clever bits in there. ( Sappy, Depressing, and Weird like Woah ) (13 Comments |Comment on this)

9:15 am	Things that I did yesterday. I built a terminal server. I think the thing I built would have been a terminal server. Anyways I built a computer thingie then booted a thin client off of it. I'm really pretty surprised how cool it was. I booted up a computer with no hard drive, cd rom, usb key, or floppy. Booted it right off the network, and it brought up a Linux install. And it was doing everything on a different computer. It was so cool. I answered a pay phone and helped the person on the other end of the line. They wanted to know a phone number of someone here. And while I had no idea where I could locate this number, they did. I was on the CB cleaning shift. Which is mostly vacuuming, sweeping the shoe room, cleaning the counters and emptying the trash out of the bathrooms. See in the men's room theres like 5 little bits of tissue in the trash bins. What I didn't know until yesterday is that in the women's room the trash bins are up to the brim with cooter blood soaked things. That was kind of gross. I used my car to help Noah get down from the roof. He climbed a tree to get up on the roof, and something told me that he wouldn't be able to get back down. So being an American I drove my car over instead of getting a ladder. I reset a password in active directory. Yesterday was a pretty awesome day. Today: I haven't been up to too much today. Being that it is only 9:26. I have however enjoyed some cereal and toast sitting at the window that reminds me of KJ. It was real foggy and it will probably rain. That is kind of nice though. We should probably work on a WAP down in Garden House today. And hopefully Nicole will get back to us about playing with one of the school computers. Oh and there is an intern meeting today. Hopefully that will find a location. As I believe it still has none. And in closing. Awhile ago KJ gave me this wonderful Dolly Parton shirt. It is really quite wonderful all by itself. But I brought it up here to Mount Madonna and everyone loves it. People may say they are here for the yoga and guru, but I think deep down this is really a Dolly Parton cult. Hey...We could have an 80's night... (Comment on this)

12:19 pm	toaster oven So it turns out I'm not moving to the garden house. I am fine with this. As the floor in the room that I would be moving would be in need of repair in order for it to produce heat. Also it is a little way down the hill, and the commute would be horrible. (I'm embarrassed to admit it, but walking up the little hill from the garden house to the Community Building gets me out of breath. Maybe I should do some wind sprints up and down to see if that doesn't help.) The weather has been really nice. Its been warm and sunny out. Which is pretty awesome as about 10 days ago there was rain and sleet coming down in buckets. It didn't really matter when I was in the Dungeon, as there are no windows here. Well that isn't quite true. There is a side door that goes out under the patio, and that has a window. But the blind is always down for some reason. Perhaps I should rectify that. Shiva Ratri happened last night. The parts that I was awake for were nifty. They stay up all night chanting and from time to time will make sacrifices to various deities, they would give them fruit, and candy, and flowers, and scented herbs. Though for some reason the fruit and candy was then passed around in the crowd to be eaten, so I'm not exactly sure how it is supposed to be a sacrifice, but I don't make the rules. The star attraction of the night being Shiva. I fell asleep at like 11. But I got back up for when they brought out the ligams? I think that is what they are called. They made them yesterday morning, and they are a bunch of little rods, maybe 3 inches high and half an inch across. Anyways they are kind of the main focus of the evening (I'm not sure exactly what they symbolize), and they are put in a spiral shape, then flowers and some other sacrifices are put on them through the night, then in the morning (I got up for this part.) They took it up to the Hanuman temple, and chanted some more. Then everyone who wanted to could get the priest to put a dot on their forehead and ring bells, and get some candy. Then we headed up to the pond. Now this was the fun part. There is a pond that just kind of hangs out up at the top of the hill, called the newt pond. It was maybe 45 degrees. And it looks like merch. So they toss the ligams and other stuff in, then we all jump in with it. Now that was fun. Pretty much everyone jumped in screamed, and jumped out. Then we stood in front of a fire for a little while and headed back. All in all life has been going well. I do miss KJ, but we'll see each other pretty soon. To which I am quite excited. I hope we have a sword fight. Perhaps with cardboard lesbians, or maybe with coat hangers. There were flowers left over from Shiva Ratri, so I got a rose and put it on my window. It is for KJ, but she isn't here, so it reminds me of her. There are a collection of kids who hang around here, mostly because of the school program that is here. But it is strange, they aren't deadly annoying. At least not most of them. Now this may only be because it is rare that I see them away from a teacher, and the one or two who hang out around the CB happen to not be annoying. But I still expect that they are just less annoying then usual. There is still something wrong with the wireless going to Forest View. I should look into that. (4 Comments |Comment on this)

2:39 pm	KJ came into town this weekend. And it is kind of funny how happy I can be just being around her. Having her around just helps let anything that wants to pop right up and make itself known. She got into town on Friday night. And I cruised down to San Jose to pick her up. We didn't do much beyond eating some chili and playing around a bit, until we fell asleep. I being the crazy person that I am woke up kind of early and went back to sleep, but I think I woke KJ up in the process. Anyways, we made it up to Mount Madonna before 10, and there was a torrent of people going in for brunch. So instead of standing in line I showed KJ my room and I think the Dungeon then we went and stood in a somewhat shorter line. And they had the super tasty rice stuff. I keep forgetting what it is called, but it is by far my favorite breakfast thing. I was mighty glad when it was indeed vegan, The whole weekend I was worried that there was going to be some meal where KJ was eating plain lettuce. Fortunately that never happened. There was something just rather wonderful about the weekend. We didn't do anything amazing, we pet a bunch of kitties and puppies. Which was really most enjoyable. We rummaged through the free box. Went to the hot tub. Had sex. Ate all kinds of wonderfully tasty food. I just had a real wonderful time. The sky cleared up some this weekend. It stopped raining about a week ago. But the sky down below us was usually kind of hazy, making it hard to see the coastline. But that went away for the last few days. So you can see the sand along the beaches of Monterey Bay. And the bay is blue in color, instead of the kind of white color that I had been seeing. Funny I have nothing much to say. I just feel really good. Nothing at work is really working, but that doesn't seem to be bothering me. I think the biggest thing on my mind right now is what is for dinner. I hope you are all finding a peaceful enjoyment of life as well. (Comment on this)

10:49 am	I woke up this morning, then went over to yoga. It was pretty cool. A practice in pain endurance really. After getting all sweaty I went over to breakfast. And I ate out on the patio, overlooking Monterey Bay. There were some clouds that went around above the water, but not past the shore. It was really quite pretty. Since then I've been working on horrible time clock systems. Depending on how things work out I might drop off of work around 3 today. I really should write down my hours. As I believe I've been overworking. Maybe not though. KJ comes into town on Friday, that is pretty exciting. (3 Comments |Comment on this)

12:53 pm	Rain I went on a hike with some friends. We were walking around in the woods until we came to one of the streams that go down the valleys. I stopped and just enjoyed what was around me. I noticed a rock covered in moss. Every bit of it. And as the rain came down the moss would catch it and drop it down to the next bit of moss. There were thousands of little drops of water making their way down this rock. It was amazingly beautiful. Oh yeah some other stuff. Go read this because it is awesome. Also I talked with a guy who had taken a vow of silence or otherwise doesn't speak. It was kind of weird at first but then became really cool, he has a slate and chalk and writes down what he wants to get across. And has good skills of pointing things out. I forgot to ask if he did any sign language. Next time. UPDATE: I asked Vishnu if he did any sign language. He said he didn't. (Comment on this)

9:19 pm	Awesome I got up this morning and went over to work on a server. All went well and I went back down here and read some about the things white people like. After that I went up to breakfast which was delicious. I ate some kind of rice thing, and these awesome little blueberry bread things, and tasty things. So after that we realize the server we were working on had some kind of problem. After a little while I was back up in the server room turning the server on (Because we is the smart and didn't turn it on when we were done with it.) Shortly after that all hell broke loose on that server and we ended up replacing the motherboard. That worked out pretty well, though it was kind of time consuming. I wandered back and forth between the dungeon and the server room though the day, getting this and that. On some of my trips there was sleet coming down. It was pretty cool. After the server thing was pretty well wrapped up, I drove Ryk into town so he could do some banking stuff. Where he introduced me to fish tacos. My god those were good. I would have never expected it. But damn. Anyways, we drove back up. I did kitchen cleanup for the first time. It was kind of fun. I wrapped up loves of bread at first. Then I cleaned knives. Then I cleaned counters. Then I swept. Kind of standard stuff. But something about it was fun. I talked to a lady who was from New York. She use to be a biography film person. And started traveling, ending up here for the moment. After that there was the dance and sundae party. That was so much fun. It was embarrassment free (A room full of white people). And had so much music which was mostly not dance-able. The room full of white people prevailed and danced to it anyway. The ice cream was also delicious. I'm all hot and sweaty now though. So I am deciding what to do. I think I'll go to the spa. Before that I think I'll unplug my laptop. Time will tell. (Comment on this)

4:53 pm	food? There is a dance and sundae party going on tomorrow evening. I'm kind of excited about it. I'm really not sure what to expect. But I guess I'll just have to wait and find out. Before that I'm going to be doing kitchen cleanup. Which I have never done before, making it rather exciting as well. All in all there are lots of things that are being exciting. I wonder what is for dinner tonight. It is at 5:30 on Fridays. This is to mess with everyone. So far everything has been quite tasty. I don't think I've been drinking enough water. I really should drink some more. Maybe after dinner I'll read or write some. I've been meaning to do that. Soon enough I guess. Then it seems like it would be a good time for some hot tub. It was cloudy most of today, but the sun broke through a few times in the afternoon. I could see the coastline around Watsonville. It was really pretty. I was also hiking around in the woods some, and the sun came out for a bit but it was still sprinkling where I was so the sun would make all the little drops of rain shine. With the storm coming it, I imagine it is getting foggy again. The fog around here is really nice (You should come and check it out sometime Tony), it gets pretty thick pretty frequently. Such that you can see for maybe 100 feet or so. Sometimes it gets a little more then that. It is just so much fun, it is like the world around you has just vanished. Things that are awesome: All the people who responded to my question on menstrual sex. Very awesome. (2 Comments |Comment on this)

4:44 pm	A follow up DUDE!!! So many people around here are so relaxed and laid back that it is like living with a bunch of people who are perpetually stoned. It is awesome! I think I'm going to go hunt down that hot tub after dinner. It is somewhere kind of down in front of the Community Building. But I'm not sure exactly where. Perhaps someone else knows more about it. I should probably also get another towel. My response to my previous posting is as follows: I have never avoided sex with ladies on their period. When KJ brought it up that other people do not feel the same way I found this very interesting. I can see how blood (Particularly a fair amount of it) can be gross. Indeed one time there was this big patch of dried blood on me when we were done. And that was kind of gross. But usually I just end up getting it smeared all over me, which is kind of silly, and pretty fun. And on at least one occasion I have engaged in oral sex with a bleeding crotch. Because you all wanted to know. (I had a blood soul patch when I stopped) DINNER IS SOON! I haven't eaten regularly in so long. And it feels so good. I think they are making something with tofu and mushrooms? It is usually pretty good. I am trying to figure out how to fix some problems with a vpn. But they are proving kind of weird. However at the same time they may be able to be ignored as they only seem to effect computers which may not care. Time will tell. Beyond that there is a windows box that is going pretty much as slowly as it can find the time for. Ah well hopefully that will be figured out soon. KJ, I love you. And I can't wait to hang out in the hot tub in the fog together. (5 Comments |Comment on this)

9:46 pm	I just got back from Yoga, and it felt so good. I can't wait to see which parts of me hurt tomorrow. And now a question: Ladies, when you are having a period do you avoid having sex? Gentlemen, if you seek sex with ladies do you avoid sex if they are having a period? (14 Comments |Comment on this)

11:44 am	Normally when I masturbate there is a little bit of jizz at the tip of my penis when I am finished. If I know someone is home then I usually just find a sock or some such and use that to remove said drop of jizz (God gets quite irate.) however when there is no one home I walk over to the bathroom, and more extensively clean up that drop of jizz and the other ones that haven't quite escaped. However when I do this I walk down the hall with my penis sticking out of my pants. And I just wonder what I will do the day that someone walks down the hall and sees this. I think I would giggle at the situation. (Comment on this)

7:15 pm	dog I was walking to the store. And I saw this dog. Actually I think I've seen this dog before, I might have event talked about it before. But it is this big giant dog. Its big and black with a white spot on its chest and has big long fur, and probably weighs 150 pounds. Anyways it was really cute, and came up to me, in the same way that a small bear might come up to you and push you over. It kind of put its head in my crotch and lifted me over. Then it rolled over on its back and was all cute, so I pet its belly, and it seemed very happy with this. It would wiggle all cute like whenever I stopped. And when I started heading away it got back up, and barked with the cutest bark. It was kind of quite but it was like "don't go". It was really cute. It lives down in the house next to the old farm house. I think it is a Newfoundland. Which apparently have webbed toes. I couldn't really see its toes, as it had big furry feet that I don't think would fit in my shoes. And they were really cute. (4 Comments |Comment on this)
1:56 am	I'm not sure what I find stranger. That they left one of the little sticky things on me from the EKG, or that I haven't noticed for 11 hours. The prognosis, it won't go away. The treatment, don't stand up fast, particularly after sex. Also try not to scare the fuck out of your significant other by using your head as landing gear on concrete. m4a files tend to sound more crisp then mp3 files. I should read up on Richard Stallman's site some more. I never have, and it looks rather interesting. Perhaps it will re-ignite my obsessive nature with open source projects and Linux. And really now who wouldn't want that? pidgin (6 Comments |Comment on this)

7:06 pm	Because you really wanted to know Just yesterday I had an erection and subsequent orgasm that were so powerful that I fainted and was confused about where I was when I woke up. Yeah, most people need alcohol to do that. This is in large part thanks to KJ who is both sexy and awesome (and even things beyond this.) In other news read this comic. Enjoy this comic. After enjoying this comic mail the author and he will send you another comic. (6 Comments |Comment on this)
