Un extraño destino

December 22, 2006. Or so.

8:11PM
Just stopped in the office for half an hour to finish some last-minute commitments before we fly to Hawaii. It's Saturday night, and there isn't another soul in the building, so I turn on some music. Loud.

9:36PM
Damn, this is going to take some time.
iTunes shuffle keeps playing Marina's Latin music. I should erase all the Latin stuff from my computer, or replace iTunes with something than can actually shuffle the music.

10:02PM
Hey, this sounds like a good song. I didn't even know I have this. What is it? Oh, it's another Spanish song. Hit Next .

10:23PM
Holy shit! That security guard nearly gave me a hart attack. WTF you doing sneaking up on me like that? Security hint: if the music is so loud that a herd of goats could show up and nobody would hear it, it probably isn't being played by robbers. Maybe I should turn the music lower, or at least stop screaming along with it.

11:43PM
Hey this is another good song I didn't know I have. Ugh, great intro, then he starts singing in Spanish again - some Soda Something band that Marina is really into these days. For the fourth time tonight.

12:36AM
If I live to be a hundred, I will never ask anyone to draw an ERD ever again -this shit is taking forever.
Hey, what's this song, sounds like a good beat - oh, it's those Soda guys again.

2:16AM
I can't believe I'm doing this the night before my vacation. Who the hell picked these Visio stencils? Someone must die for this!
And it's been 3 hours since iTunes picked anything good. Gawd, my music is old. Isn't there something I haven't heard a million times? Where's that Soda Stuff? Soda Stereo, yeah. I'll put some of their stuff on. Not bad at all.

3:15AM
I hate ERDs. I hate Visio. I hate my life. Soda Stereo's fun, though.

3:55AM
Done. Going home now. Good thing I had the right music to keep me awake this long...

3:56AM
Wait. Did I just become a Soda Stereo fan?

Hell yes! I'm a total fan of an Argentinean band, and I'm man enough to say it. And that's really the point of this entry, besides the fact that I spent an entire night drawing two stupid diagrams. When we were talking about going to Argentina (which isn't going to happen this year either), I actually searched the net to see if maybe they're on tour and we can catch them while we're there, but it turns out that they broke up 10 years ago. Bummer.

Yesterday.

Working:hoursPM
Google for stuff.
Google for more stuff.
What's on Digg? Usual crap. Some joke gets 2000 Digg, and I have it in my Netscape 3.0 mail archives from 1996. I feel old.
Google for some hot chicks. Can I take a peek without anyone noticing? I feel pathetic.
Google "soda stereo tour us". Hold on. EXCITEMENT!!! They're playing in LA this November! I am so flying there just for the show.

And maybe that is my point today - I fucking LOVE living here. Oh dear, what will I wear?
