I am starting to hate my job - let me rephrase that; I hate my job. Well I dislike it very much. I've been so frustrated with all the different things going on here.

I'm in a very bad mood. I called a phone line and listened to people's recorded messages, and there is this guy that is so awesome, but I won't leave him a message. I'm such a pussy. Anyway, I've just finished day 7 of my diet. I think I'm going to go to the gym in the morning, even though I have to wake up like at 5am to do it. I think that's fine. I'm really going to try to do it. Of course, I'm all fire and brimstone about it now, but come morning, I'll be like "fuck that shit!" Well I'll try.

Yeah I just tele-filed my state taxes. $354 that I will never see - it will probably be garnished for the housing debt I still owe UCR; that's what happened with the last two year's return. Oh well...

Alias is SOOOO good!

I worked out tonight. I started a spreadsheet to monitor my food intake and exercise. I think that would be helpful. I have a concert with the Grossmont Master Chorale on April 28th - that's in two weeks. I hope to lose at least 10 pounds by then to fit into my tux better. Our last concert was a Celtic Celebration theme, and I felt like a stuffed animal in my tux; I haven't worn the tux in 2 years. I had just bought it after losing about 30 pounds. I didn't try it on until at the concert, and to my dismay I found it didn't fit at all. I didn't want to come out of the bathroom; "The Diva will not be coming out of her dressing room tonight - the show must go on without her." I got over it by the second concert. But I want to lose weight so it isn't so obvious that the tux is too small. As soon as I'm back in the shape I was last August, it should fit fine.

I figured out what was wrong with my home modem - I had the telephone line plugged into the wrong RJ-11 port. I figured it out like after 4 days - silly me.

"Volcano" is so cheesy.

Officer: This one looks like your mom?

I saw it when it came out in the movie theatres back in 1997 when I was at UCR. I saw it with Samantha, her brother, and another person. I remember hearing that Wesley Snipes was in the theatre or something; he had been up for the part that Tommy Lee Jones got in the movie.

I'm broke until Monday. Hopefully then I'll make time to get my car towed to the mechanic shop. I'm having problems with Jeremy my carpool person to work. I missed two days of work last week - I called in sick on Tuesday (I wasn't feeling well, but the thing is, I was hung over the day before and still went into work on Monday) and on Wednesday night I got sloshed and ended up attaching myself to some guy at The Loft and crashed at his place. I overslept and missed Jeremy and wasn't able to get a ride to work for Thursday. I was planning to take the bus into work early Friday morning since I had nothing done for the week, but decided against it. Jeremy never showed up nor called the next morning. Luckily, I had just received a $49 refund check from my canceled car insurance, so I used that to take a cab to work - I walked to Park and University to end up at a Wells Fargo ATM, but no bank; I was pissed to find there was no damn bank there! Right across the street from that ATM is where an old Wells Fargo used to operate; today the building remains but borded up. I made it into work an hour late, but still managed to finish all my work on time - a light week. David took me home, which was cool, but I think I'll be using the bus system to get to and from work for now on. My boss is getting concerned about my lack of car, so I need to get that fixed so I can start depending on myself (and hopefully my newly-dependable car) to get to and from places.

I still have to do my California tax return. I used H&R Block's website to calculate my taxes, and I was able to file my Federal taxes electronically and used the rapid refund option to get my taxes back in like 5 days. But because I had a correction/itemization on my State return, I have to file that manually. I tried undoing the itemization and resubmitting the file, but it wouldn't work. I can file over the phone, but I have to find my EZ tax return booklet.

Well I never made it to the gym last post - oh well.

I think I broke my modem; I can't dial up anymore from home. My computer stalled and I was logging off AOL to use the phone and it was still connected to the Internet, so I unplugged the phone jack from the computer to use the phone, and since then I haven't been able to log onto AOL. I'll ask Greg if he knows what's up.

I found out Asian David died a few weeks before Billy. I remember hearing something about that; it sounds vaguely familiar. But I heard it over Easter dinner at Troys. It reminds me of when I found out my Aunt Fern had died - I found out 3 weeks after it happened. I don't know why it's so unsettling; it is not like I thought of him every day as if he was alive and available to call at any time, but unconsciously I guess I took it for granted that he was alive.
