February 9, 201115 yr Moved from the lovely Fairfax Inn to the JW Marriott LA Live. A bit of a change I would have to say. From a 200 sq ft. room with a bathroom and 27" tube television to a 1100 sq ft room with two bathrooms, full kitchen, dining room, living room two 60" plasmas, butler service and TVs in the bathroom mirrors.
February 9, 201115 yr Butler service? Holy crap! I never got that perk with 3 years of being marriott platinum.

Jeff, how many airbeds can that room accomodate?
February 10, 201115 yr Jeff, how many airbeds can that room accomodate? [although "rofs" -- rolling on floor snoring -- would be even more appropriate]
February 10, 201115 yr [although "rofs" -- rolling on floor snoring -- would be even more appropriate] :rofl: Having finally ... lived through?... the massively loud snorers (less guzziguy), I finally know what you guys are talking about. And let me tell you it is a joking matter at all times except when you are a few feet away experiencing it firsthand.
February 10, 201115 yr Dude, earplugs. As much as I gave Steve a hard time, it really didn't bother me.

February 10, 201115 yr Dude, earplugs. As much as I gave Steve a hard time, it really didn't bother me. Says the guy who got annoyed at people talking quietly near him. Once I fall asleep nothing short of a properly sized earthquake or the like can wake me up, so I'm actually fine with it as well.
February 10, 201115 yr WTF are you people talking about? I don't snore! This may or may not be true -- what you do should be measured on another scale entirely. Srsly*, dude, what do you use for amplification? Nice dynamic range, whatever it is. *And by 'srsly', I mean not so much.
February 10, 201115 yr House heater died last night, and now I'm using tube amps to heat my bedroom. Never will I complain about how much heat the BH puts out. The rest of the house is cold as a meat locker (our insulation _really_ sucks) but my bedroom is a toasty 75 degrees. And all with the added benefit of listening to several really kick-ass systems!
February 10, 201115 yr thanks guys. chris, were you an operations research guy or some sort of niche engineering major? i only ask because operations research is what i am planning on doing next and just found out that columbia has a "better" OR program than most other places barring cmu. as much as i would like to be back in cambridge, i am starting to realize that i have to grow up and assume my responsibilities as an adult fairly soon. as such, attending a school that offers better placement might be the smarter thing to do. then again i dont know anything about columbia. any insight would be much appreciated. depending on how the first year goes, i will either pick financial engineering or go towards modeling dynamical systems (i think this is what you do but i might be mistaken). I did graduate work at Columbia and rather enjoyed it. It was in Computer Science though.
February 11, 201115 yr Picked up my by helmet and apparel at the shop, gave the entry payment for a new motorbike and also the 1st payment for my new house rental! Quite a happy day today!
February 11, 201115 yr Learned from my city planning department that if I keep my garden shed (actually workout/bike shed) below 80sq ft then I don't need planning approval or a permit and I can put it right up against my property line with no issues. This probably saved me $2000 in architects fees alone. I'm stoked because what I thought was going to cost $10000+ is going to be much less than that. Awesome
February 11, 201115 yr The gotdam scroll button on my mouse has somehow become inverted, so that when I scroll up, it scrolls goes down onscreen and vice-versa. This bugs me so much that I am thinking about going home.
February 11, 201115 yr So just swap the left and right buttons and hold it upside down. Or: defenestration.
February 11, 201115 yr When I got to my car at the end of the day, I found several long scratches on the driver side of my car, on both front and rear doors. They're not deep scratches but still annoying. The fact I've only had the car for 8 months makes it worth.
February 11, 201115 yr Today I officially signed on as a sound engineer for an independent film. I got how much I am going to get paid in writing. Thrice bitten, kind of shy. I also went to the bank today, and did a . This employment couldn't have happened at a better time.
