Wires to Nowhere – Thoughts from September 2, 2003
Good morning and welcome to life in the doldrums. I can barely keep myself awake. I’m working at the Assessor’s office. Working here is so dull (how dull is it?), (it’s so dull) I’m using my “boredom sucks” protest signs to hold open my eyelids. Even that last sentence shows how bored and tired I…

Owning a House – Thoughts from July 23 to 25, 2003
July 23, 2003 After much drama and change, I am working at the Assessor’s office now. I should learn a great deal about owning property, etc., which will help in my NEW HOME! Yes, last last Saturday, we closed our loan. It should have been earlier, but there were several delays. It’s a good feeling,…

Losing My Job and Movie Theaters – Thoughts from May 27 and June 16, 2003
May 27, 2003 Well, it’s not officially official (because we could still back out), but Patti and I are close to officially owning my parents’ house. The house I grew up in from the time I was 5 years old; the house where I experienced the joys and oddness of puberty; and the house where…

My Dad Doesn’t Live Anymore – Thoughts from May, 6, 2003
As of 3:00 pm on Tuesday, April 29th, 2003, my dad existed in memory only. My mom and I were in his room at Redlands Community Hospital the moment his body functions stopped working. It sounds very clinical to say, “his body functions stopped working” (and it is), but that’s what happened. There were several…

Dad in the Hospital – Thoughts from April 16, 2003
I have no real idea how to start this Thoughts paper. Many things are going on right now in and out of my life. We were robbed last month and are trying to buy our first home. My dad went into the hospital last Friday (4/11/03). He is not doing well. We have moved most…

Bad Neighbors – Thoughts from February 27 and March 18, 2003
February 27, 2003 I’m almost done with my Storyboarding class. It wasn’t exactly like I thought it was going to be. It hasn’t been bad; it just hasn’t been as creative as I had hoped. We’re doing two scenes from Kim Possible, a show John, the instructor, works on. One is a talking heads scene…

Networking at Home – Thoughts from January 2, 2003
That’s right, the date is 1/2/3 (or 01/02/03 if you want to be official about things). It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3, and it’s another year. I am actually done paying off my consumer credit debt. Now we have to stop using the credit cards and start saving for the future. Good luck to…

A Live Studio Audience – Thoughts from October 7, 2002
(Future note: It always seems weird to start a Thoughts paper with a future note, but this requires it because it’s not actually a Thoughts paper. This is an email I wrote to a friend of mine who I hadn’t seen in years. It was the last known email address I had for him, so…

Hating my Job – Thoughts from October 1, 2002
I begin again again. Yes, Mr. Grammar Checker, I meant to repeat the again again. I did it again. The question is, what did I begin again? I began the pursuit of the dream. I started several semesters ago attending The Animation Academy, pursuing the animation dream. Now, I’m going to get a job (on…

Thoughts from July 1, 2002
Tomorrow it’s birthday number 32. I know, what the hell do you care. No one else seems to care. Some of them act like they care, but they don’t. It’s not in their job descriptions. Why should they care? Patti always pumps me up for my birthday gifts. It’s not that I don’t enjoy my…
