Having nowhere to live for the time being, and busy searching for a place that
1) Doesn't cost over 1K a month
2) Doesn't have me living with someone I can't understand
3) Doesn't have me living with someone over 35 years old
4) Doesn't have me sharing a room with a stranger

Has proven harder than ever imagined in this city. I yearn for the days where I thought 750 dollars was insane for rent, even if you had your own room. I keep seeing vacant rooms offered for 1200... aka more than half of my yearly paycheck... that are dirty as hell and up on the top floors of 7 story shoddy earthquake prone apartment complexes.

Anyways, when you are a vagabond, sometimes the best thing to do is to travel to get your mind off of things. Last weekend I went to Connecticut in what was one of the busiest weekends ever. I had so much to do in 48 hours, I knew I could never succeed at accomplishing it all. Between my little brothers graduating, the CCE having a reunion, KJ having a party, family I wanted to spend time with and friends I wanted to see, I was lucky that I got any drinking done or that I could check out Knocked Up. I also spent an hour throwing away empty CD cases that havn't been filled since I got my first CD Binder. By the way, those protective sleeves are crap, they scratched and melted my CDs worse than anything else.



Look at them. Glorious. Big willy style, less than jake, presidents of the united states of america, sisqo, moby, luda, x-files soundtrack, fastball, cant hardly wait soundtrack, grinch 2000 soundtrack, smashmouth astrolounge, fatboy slim, p!ink??, reel big fish, blink 182, sublime, goldfinger. Goodbye guys. You're to be sitting empty on my shelf no longer.

I got a new camera at home, so future posts will return to the glory that they once were at a year ago.

Starting with my trip to Vegas this past weekend. Met Whitney there spontaniously for a weekend of treating ourselves to grand buffets, cheap but huge hotels, and dry heat. I think it gave me a sinus infection, but I know it gave me tons of great pictures. PLUS: BONUS SUMMER TRIP TO THE HOOVER DAM, PETE AND PETE STYLE!



Whitney hated posing for pictures so I snagged two landscapes while she stood in the same spot.



I'd go as far as to say TWO eyefulls.



We waited forever to see the Volcano at the Mirage erupt, but oh boy when it did, did it ever disappoint!



Sitting by the pool I thought this looked like a sweet solar eclipse. Then my Hereos powers started to kick in and I saved NYC from an A-Bomb.



Dan's pockets approve of staying in Excalibur. For the price, it can't be beat. Plus, can you say "All you can eat Mutton?"



Fuck Vegas, we're going out into the middle of nowhere, where winds make the car wiggle if you go over 70mph!



Is that lake Med?? Er.. Mead? Hogsmeade?



If I know anything, as the KING OFRAUD, its that power lines lead to the hoover dam!



Well I must know a lot then, huh? I ponder this though, if the hoover dam powers everything in the area, what, pertell... powers the hoover dam?



Theres supposed to be a huge and epic battle scene here in TRANSFORMERS later this summer. Having seen all of the cool towers, drops, and wires associated with the dam, I've got to say that it will be an incredible place for a final battle. Superman, eat your heart out, Bevis and Butthead, booya. Transformers will restore the dam to its former glory!



Heh heh.



Just narrowly avoided this mistake.



For some, these images would inspire classic "Rat pack" images of a 1950's era Ocean's 11 style film. For me, all I can think of is "Honey I Blew Up the Kid"



Whitney ate one too many rainbows at the Buffet.



We gambled away a whole dollar here. And thats all we gambled, cuz I lost my license the day before. And also because gambling is a ripoff. Imagine the soda we coulda bought with that dollar.




I'm really losing it. I need a home so I can finally join a gym or something.



But the fun doesn't end there! On friday I'm going to Hawaii! YES!

Its amazing to me that this site gets an average of 65 visits a day. Facebook must be screwed up or something. Especially since I haven't updated all month. If the some 2,000 so called visitors from the month of May had clicked on my videos, then I would have a lot more views, let me tell you.

Testers Level 3 is going to be up in a few days, in it we're going to pay tribute to a number of games, but none more than the GOD OF WAR series. It needs a good fan parody. I think we improve every time we do this, so I am looking forward to capping off the first story arc. Then to put it on a DVD and shop it around. Hopefully most pilots are as low budget as ours. But if we can make something this fun on nickels and dimes, imagine the things we could accomplish with CASH. All I require is a great green screen system, a prop master, and some insane editor I'll make the rest happen.

I am officially homeless. I crashed on Philip's couch last night and I'll do the same tonight. Dana's tomorrow followed by a few nights at the office. Then I come home on June 1st to CT for a few days. By the time I get back we should either 1) have a new place lined up and signed for or 2) have nothing yet, in which case I set out on my own.

Tonight I found the area of Westwood for the first time. I think I am in love. Its completely perfect for me. Kids my age, young hip crowd.. UCLA college students... its cleaner than Hollywood, closer than Culver City, cheaper than Santa Monica and Beverly Hills, and super hip. I saw 'Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash' shop for the first time, that was totally rad. I am angry that after all these months I had never heard a peep about this awesome urban community. It was like Harvard Square but cleaner.

I am in LOVE with PEPSI SUMMER MIX. After so many Sprite Remix failures and Pepsi Blue failing in 2002, we needed them to get tropical fruit to work well with cola. Pepsi Summer Mix does just that. Its like a tangerine fruit punch taste with some classic pepsi. Its not overbearing, its just right, like wild cherry pepsi. I'll feel bad for not drinking more Coke Zero, but not too bad. I hope it becomes an "all year long" mix.

It feels good to blog again. Perhaps I shall frequent this site more often.

The only thing stopping me from being homeless in two days is finding a place to live. I mean, we've been looking at dozens of places for 4 solid months, each of which has not met my roomate's fancy, so we're bound to find the perfect place in two days right?

It's simple. All he wants is a huge three bedroom house or apartment for around 3000 dollars a month. Which is not facing the street. Also, not at ground level. And it should have a security system. Plus no big windows so people can see the electronics inside. There should be a huge balcony by his room and a big outdoor area near the living room for smoking. Speaking of the living room, it must have an open floor plan style which is big enough to fit a huge L shaped couch, two tvs and a desk with two computers, all within sight of a kitchen and outdoor balconies. Oh and while we're on the topic, the place should provide the flexibility to break the lease at any point in time without screwing over the landlords or costing us the entire term of the lease. Did I mention that the place is not be located anywhere near where the landlord lives, must be available immediately, should have a master bed room thats bigger than the two other bedrooms, definitely will need to include a private bathroom in the master bedroom where nobody can see my roomate go to the shower or do his business, a seperate bathroom for guests, be all carpeted, not be in a complex where there is a board of directors, and be well within a clearly defined 2 mile radius to where we live now?

Only 20 or so extremely specific stipulations. Piece of cake!
