Going over the hump
Yesterday I went to Home Depot and picked up a portable jump unit for my car. It takes like 24 hours to charge. I also went to Barnes and Noble to check out some books but I didn't want to pick up any until I read some reviews on Amazon. I also received some DVDs from Netflix; Hacker, Upright Citizens Briday 1st Complete Season Discs One and Two. I copied some DVDs and went out.
Last night I went to see Harold night at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater. First up was Fwand and Creep. I was real curious since I haven't seen Fwand. I wondered if they would open just like Mailer Daemon did. They did the same open. After Creep performed, Charlie Todd came out to introduce the next two teams. Beverly Hills and 1985 performed in the second hour. Charlie during the intermission plugged his Improv Everywhere DVD Release party.
Today I went grocery shopping and then cooked me some hotdogs. Tonight I was thinking of going out but I am unsure. I am supposed to have dinner with someone but I don't know.

Kriss Kross will make you jump
Last night I stayed in, still sick a bit. Pyro is in town but we just couldn't sync up. So I stayed in and I watched the series Taken by Steven Spielberg. I watched all 10 hours of it and I was glued. It was really awesome and I don't know how I missed it while it was on TV. After watching the videos I figured that I would check my car to see if it would start and sure enough, the car was completely dead. I was going to call roadside assistance but I got lazy and I figured I would suck up the ticket. I am going to go to Home Depot and get a portable rechargable jumper. Maybe I will drive the car to Mom's this weekend and leave it there. It's a pain in the ass right now. Tonight I am going to hit some shows at UCB.

I didn't update, sorry,
Last week wasn't really that interesting. I did get sick so that played out pretty badly. Thursday night I ended up going to Cage Match with Max and Alaina. I didn't know until 20 minutes before we left for the event because it didn't come up in conversation. Anyway, we went and Mailer Daemon won with a score of 59 to 10.
Friday I felt really ill but Max, Alaina, Julia and I had plans to go see American Hardcore on opening night at the Angelika. I had to get up at 8am because I had to move the car. When I got in the car, it didn't start again. I called for a jump and didn't get a ticket but still had to pay for the jump. Later that night... Max, Alaina and I ate dinner at Silver Spurs and the service was horrible and then we went to meet Julia at the Angelika. I was surprised that American Hardcore didn't sell out but Science of Sleep sold out every show on Friday night. I guess it proves there are more romantics than 30-something old hard core fans in the city.
We went to Double Down Saloon after the movie because the music from the movie inspired us to hear more hardcore and punk music. When we got there you could tell that college was in full swing. There were people wearing Sean John jackets in the Double Down. I have never seen that before. Then about 2am most of the college people disappeared, I guess it's either a curfew or it's that they are not used to a late last call at the bars.
Saturday the fever really took hold of me. I woke up hungover and sick as a dog with a fever. It was 5pm, I was not going anywhere. I took some Aleve and ordered some food to be delivered. Max and Alaina texted me and asked if I needed anything but I said I would be better just staying in quarantine. I sweated out the cold/flu and slept alot.
Yesterday, I slept until noon and then I got up and tried to muster as much enegery I could because I had improv class at 3pm. I walked there and arrived 30 minutes early and hung out for a bit. I then saw Brandon and then Phlip. We lit cigarettes and hung out until the rest of the class showed up and then we went upstairs. I did see Amy and we were too far away in the lobby to talk but I motioned to her that I would call her, I forgot. I will message her today.
Class went well and we worked on different scenes and stuff. I think I did ok. I didn't feel too well during class but I got through with it. I didn't feel like going out after class so I went home and ordered food. I did get called by Pyro during class and I found out he was in town but since I was feeling ill I couldn't go out. I told him I woul see him before he leaves.
Today is a pretty lax day so far. I did just have lunch and I am writing this blog. After I shower I will go out and accomplish some things I hope. Tomorrow I hope to go to Harold night and see some shows.
Tuesday, September 19, 2006
Ah crap
I thought I would make a couple shows tonight but I didn't hear from
Melanie and I ended up taking a nap. I have a lunch appointment
tomorrow downtown and I might have a great opportunity coming up. I
was looking at the UCB calandar and I have some shows I am going to
commit going to.
Thursday - Cage Match
Friday - MEAT
Friday - Death By Roo Roo
Saturday - REUBEN WILLIAMS: As Seen On TV
Other shows that make it in are Asssscar and Telethon
PS. I got the car started and I moved it but I see that my GPS/DVD
player isn't working. I think thats what screwed the battery. Now I
have to call Kenwood. Sucks.
Port Authority Against Moving Into Freedom Tower
Port Authority Chairman Anthony Coscia is taking some heat from Mayor
Michael Bloomberg after saying that he would rather quit than move his
workers into the Freedom Tower.
The mayor says Coscia isn't helping the effort to bring prospective
tenants Downtown.
In an interview with the Record of Hackensack, Coscia said his
employees were subject to two attacks, one in 1993 and the other on
September 11th. He says he won't ask them to move into what will be
the focal point of the new World Trade Center Site.
Mayor Bloomberg says he doesn't agree with Coscia's stand.
"Well, it doesn't help. We'd love to have the Port Authority move in.
I don't know how else to answer the question," he said. "You'll have
to ask Mr. Coscia – who's actually a pretty hard-working, smart guy
who I think has done a good job at the Port Authority. I don't happen
to agree with him."
And while Coscia may be against moving the agency's office to the
Freedom Tower, a spokesman says the chairman is committed to moving
back to the site. The Port Authority is taking 600,000 square feet in
Tower 4, making it an anchor tenant.
Off to a crumby start
I was trying to park this morning and wouldn't you know it, my car died. I was listening to the radio and then, poof. I called my Road Side Assistance and they quoted me 60 minutes. Not in the best mood right now.
While waiting, I finished reading Art by Committee. It was ok, some good chapters, some self-indulgent. I can't wait for class. I will probably hit some shows tonight since its Harold night at UCB. Thursday I will attend Cage Match. Friday will be Meat if Gustav is in town. Saturday will be Rueben Williams. Sunday class.

Sunday recap
Fun times. I didn't get much sleep again. I woke up at 6am and I decided to stay up to try to get my sleep on schedule again. I went to class at 3pm and had some good scenes. I saw Amy before class started because her class starts before mine. My class and I caught up with each other about what happened the past week.
Max called me and said they were meeting me in a while. After we met, we headed to border books and got Gustav a gift certificate for Borders books. We took the train to Gustav's house and joined the party. I saw Anna there and her boyfriend. I don't think I will talk about her here. Before we left the party, Dora arrived. I haven't seen Dora in years. Dora looked really pretty. Julia wanted to leave the party and get a drink at Double Down. We headed there on the train and took a cab when we got off at 1st Ave.
We drank probably too much and I got home sometime very late. Today nothing happened.

It's a brand new day
I am sitting in my living room, whitening my teeth, watching a dvd. I bought recently two books, "Truth in Comedy" and "Art by Committee". I have read Truth in Comedy before but it wasn't my copy, it was Melanie's. I wanted to buy it for reference and to let other people borrow it who might not have read it. The book Art by Committee is an easy read too since it is so short but it comes with a DVD. The DVD is so-so. It isn't consistant with sound and video. It appears that the performances just came out of someone's personal video collection. One of the videos with the Upright Citizens Brigade could have just used a shotgun microphone.
Yesterday should have been called movie day or rather this is a movie weekend. I finally watched "Mean Girls". I expected a girlie movie and for it to be not funny. I tell you, I was suprised at this movie. Tina Fey and Tim Meadows are just fine in this movie, not over the top or anything. Lindsay Lohan is good in this movie but I didn't know who she was until the other day when her newest panty-less shots have hit the internet. I do have to comment how bad she looks in the last couple years, especially loosing that girlish charm.
I then watched "Permanent Midnight" again. I have seen this before but I needed to see it again. It's a good movie but doesn't make you feel complete at the end. I think they could have ended it better.
Last movie that I will say I saw is "Unleashed". This movie suprised me too. It played out the drama well and Jet Li's character was awesome. Jet Li really acted the part of Danny very well.
Now, last night I was supposed to meet up with Alaina and Max. We were supposed to go to SummerSlamMania. Max and Alaina were supposed to go to a suprise party earlier and then taxi it out to see me. They didn't get to the theater in time so they didn't get in. We said we would would meet up later.
SummerSlamMania was hysterical as expected. Italian Stallions won their tag team. Doll the Bounty Hunter won against Lezzie Steele. In the toilet bowl match, Bucketface won by stupidity. Registered Sex Offender Gary and Trust Fund formed an alliance. Chuck McMahon won against his son Snake Man and saved $500,000 in child support. Then the final match kicked off with Hoss Boss vs. Marz. This match was very active, I wish I could see it all on DVD but the funniest is when Hoss Boss (Jonathan Gabrus) was running for the imaginary ropes he ended up in my lap. Then he did it again on purpose. It was just a real funny show. In the middle of all the matches they switched out commentators, Ben Rodgers and Eric Scott came out. I like the repeating that Eric does throughout the comments.
After the event I ventured home. I felt I wanted to go out, maybe hit Revival. I didn't because I knew I had class the next day and I didn't want a hangover. I just walked back, stopped at Subway for a sandwich.
Today I have class and then I have to call Max and Alaina to meet up with them. I am heading out to Gustav's with them for his birthday party. I should probably pick up a bottle of wine or something.

And the word of the day is "Hangover"
I just woke up and it's weird since it's 8:51am which means less than 5 hours of sleep. I will go back and try to get some more sleep but here is the recap.
Yesterday ended my Social Engineering test with the company I was working on. The company didn't like the phishing method I used even though it was successful and led me to other exploits of this company. It was exactly the way a hacker would exploit a company and changed the rules of engagement for the test. I ended the test because my progress was being reset to a status of zero.
I didn't know what exactly to do last night and didn't make any plans. I saw Max on myspace and I figured I would give him a call. He didn't really have any plans besides dinner and asked if I would like to join him. About an hour and half later Max, Alaina and I met at Wogies for a drink and then French Roast for Dinner. We had a bottle of wine and ate dinner. After, we couldn't think of anything to do. I said that we could visit Double Down or Revival. We decided that Double Down was too far so we thought Revival. Alaina wanted to go to 119 because they have a pool table but Max and I wanted to still go on. We got to Revival and it was packed since college is back in session. We saw Melanie outside and chatted for several minutes. She said go on to the back since no one was there. We went inside and saw Danielle and Ben. We got drinks and went to the back. On the way to the back I saw Johnny and Naomi, two of Deanna's friends. I said Hi and continued until I got to the back. We sat and drank for a while and it was a blast. Max and Alaina left about 3:00am and I stayed until 4:00am.
Now that I am up I have brushed my teeth and I am watching "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure". I am planning on uploading some photos from last night and I will then try to get some more sleep. I was planning on seeing Reuben Williams tonight at UCB but I don't think Max and Alaina can make it. They are going to make it to SummerSlamMania so I have that planned tonight. I will update you when things progress.

Catching up
Wow, this week went fast but I didn't get enough done. It is Thursday night and I have been sleeping pretty irregular hours. September 11th wasn't fun at all. I didn't get a chance to visit any protests because I was morning my friends. It took the readers four hours to read all the names of the deceased.
Tuesday I went to a wireless seminar given by the company
AirDefense, titled "Wireless Insecurity: Why Your Next Breach Will Be Over The Air (Next-Generation Attacks & Defenses". It was horrible and probably a good vendor to bring in for deficiency Buzzword competition. I thought it would cover the products that AirDefense produces but for some reason, Trapeze Networks were there. Now, if you don't work in wireless networking, you might not know that Trapeze is one of the bottom feeders of the business class wireless networks. They were even so uncool to bad mouth other vendors in their talk, not talking bad about features, but saying "And it's not like Cisco isn't hacked all the time". The CTO Amit Sinha started out by introducing the agenda, taking a survey and then pointed out some tools/flaw in wireless systems today. Some tools that he pointed out are true because they were for RF Jamming and Masquerade. On the other hand they left out talking about proper wireless configurations to avoid most wireless hacks. Amit Sinha then leaned into the growing demand for wireless and demographics of insecure wireless. He then went to the IEEE list of 802.11 extensions but he didn't cover the old wireless. He said wireless started with 802.11b but it actually didn't. Wireless started with 2Mb cards. He just was trying to baffle the audience with technical knowledge. I could see where this was going since they had Trapeze Networks there and going through slides, I knew what they were going to push. This is only 20 minute into the presentation. I figured I would wait for the break to leave so I was not rude. The CSO, Chief Security Officer, was up next going to talk about the current attacks. I figured I would see what he was talking about.
Now from the survey part of the seminar I saw that the crown said they were technical but not security minded. So I was wondering what level they would speaking. The CSO Richard Rushing introduced himself and went into the "Wireless Risks & Attacks, Part 1" segment of the presentation. The first slide talked about the characteristics of wireless LANs and how easy wireless was to attack as compared to wired networks. It didn't wow anyone who knew wireless networks. The second slide stated "What is the Real Security Problem?" He stated that wireless networks devices will always be a weak link. This of course isn't true since there is network security like 802.1x, when setup correctly, has not been penetrated yet. He went on to state that 802.11i was meant to fix this but "Needs new hardware" and "Needs much more management". I was shocked he was saying this because he seems to forget that most devices now offer AES encryption and most business class wireless (i.e.
Cisco,
Aruba) support 802.11i and do not require more management that other systems.
After talking about problems in securing wireless the CSO touched upon the
wigle.net database of wireless hotspots, detailing on how many SSIDs didn't have WEP or WPA. He failed to say that many SSIDs are not up anymore nor APs do not need WEP or WPA to protect access. Encryption will slow a network and is crackable. Lowest common denominators can secure through MAC or Captive Portal. He talked about going into a company and maybe going to a computer and changing it to a soft AP. He didn't talk about buying a $50 AP router/switch and MINM to the network.
This talk seemed to go on forever. From a talk that was scheduled for only 60 minutes, it was reaching 90 minutes easy. I started to get more and more fustrated at this guy because he referred to himself as a hacker. He showed off all this information he had found on the web but didn't demonstrate that he knew how to use it. He played with Ethereal and that was it. He talked about DoSing wireless and bought up
FakeAP, saying this is what hackers do do make it more confusing for the network. It would be hard to sit in Times Square and pick out one bulb because it is so busy. This is not true, the guys who created FakeAP created it to confuse people who try to use your AP as a hotspot.
He then covered 802.1x stuff. He said "802.1x Allows for connection to the AP". This is not always true, business class wireless will disconnect your session and put you on a blacklist if elected. He talked about Proxim APs how there was a backdoor that allowed access with WEP key 12345. Are you kidding me, who uses a proxim AP anymore. Then the thing that showed me that this was drink the koolaid time. He started talking about 802.1x. I never heard such crap that was so one sided. He talked about a computer running host AP after a DeAuthentication and DisAssociation could take over/hijack someone's session. I couldn't take it anymore, I raised my hand. I asked how can you say that someone could just light up a HostAP and Man-in-the-Middle the network. I continued, you can't just light up an AP because there are controls in an 802.1x network such as a supplicant with SSL cert checking and RADIUS communication. Also there is a RADIUS secret that the AP and the RADIUS share because the AP can authenticate with the RADIUS server. He stammered and then both the CSO and CTO asked if we can talk about this offline. I could tell that he didn't want to get called on his lies. He jumped to WPA hacking but didn't go into WPA's changes. He just talked about WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key) but not WPA-TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol), or AES. He breezed through that quickly because he knew that that would lead to more sales lies. He even received a question about WPA but kept it to PSK. He then went into devices like printers and other wireless devices not configured but this is where I had enough.
I have to tell you, if you want wireless for your business I suggest you go to Aruba or Cisco. They have architect tools to design your network and are better when it comes to security. Their talks are also better. Ebay, Google, Microsoft and Yahoo all use Aruba. I am personally very educated in both as well well versed in 802.1x networks and secure wireless.
Later Tuesday I went to Kmart and I bought some pots and pans also a cookie sheet. I figure now I can order from
FreshDirect.
Wednesday, I didn't get much accomplished. I did go to
Revival and I got to see Melanie and Danielle. Danielle asked me if I had the Saved by the Bell theme song to give her and I told her I would email it. Yes, I am that lame that I have that in my library. I was there for a couple of drinks but got home plenty early to try to get my sleep on track. I didn't, I slept four hours.
Thursday, it was spent doing some more socal engineering calls and emails to the company I am doing a security test for. I have to move my car in the morning.
The rest of the week goes like this. On Friday I have to move the car, then I will do some security work again. I want to hit some stores for some moisturizer. I also need sponges and cleaning products. I am thinking about inviting Gustav to my house for a movie or two and some drinking. Saturday there are two show I plan on hitting at
Upright Citizens Brigade Theater. One is
Reuben Williams and the other is
UCBW SummerSlamMamia. It should be lot of fun and I think Alaina and Max will be joining me. Sunday the week will start with my Improv class at 3pm and after class I plan on hitting Gustav's house for his Birthday.
Another event coming up that I can recall is next Saturday there is a
Hacker Halfway House party. Thats all from the mind of tommEE, night night.

Tracking my MySpace visitors
Kinda hungry and I don't know why
I napped for hours today. I did go out to see if the street fair was there Sunday but it wasn't so I went to Subway and got me a sandwich. I am watching Headline News because I am a little paranoid about todays date. I am supposed to go to a meeting tomorrow and then I have to get back to my social engineering work. I have my tickets ready for my trip out back to my west coast home and I can't wait to see everyone. I will be getting a new tattoo but I haven't thought where it should go. I did post some pictures today, especially because I wanted to get the pictures of my improv group out. To be honest, my performance was the hightlight of the week and I cannot wait to get back to classes and perform again.
It is 5:15am and I am thinking at 6:00am to go shopping for somethings I need around the house but I am not sure if that will happen. I do want something to eat but I don't like going to the McDonalds near me and there is really no fast food near me. I guess I can get something delivered if I get deperate but I don't know if they deliver food at 6:00am. I probably will just get some peanut butter and jelly along with some bread. I do need to get some Crest White Strips too but I don't think the supermarket has any, so I might have to go to Rite Aid or something. Damn I wish I had a microwave or cooking supplies in this place.

Blah blah blah, and... scene
Yesterday was filled with fun. I woke up with a tinge of a headache and stomach thing because another night of drinking. I was scheduled to meet my improv group at Trailer Park at 3:30pm, and I mistakenly thought we were going to meet at Molly Wee instead. I headed out at 3:15pm and walked up 8th and there was a huge street fair going on, Unfortunately I had no time to really waste. I got to Molly Wee and no one was there. I then thought of checking Trailer Park and while I was on my way there I passed Josh on the sidewalk but he apparently didn't see me. I got to Trailer Park and saw Andrea, Becca, Alex and Phlip. A bunch of us got drinks and food to start off the day and talk about our upcoming show. Brandon, Danny, Chris, Vik showed up and then ten minutes later we were off to warm up at the theater, We arrived at the green room inside the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater and saw Gracie and Tim. We played warm up games and then gave our group names to Charlie who gave it to the MC. People were let in at 5:30pm and there was about 40 or so people in the audience. The first team performed and were awesome. Then we headed backstage to wait for our queue. They announced our team, named Jungle Fever Dance Pants, then we ran out of stage. Our suggestion was Santa and Santa's Helpers. I gave the first monologue and then we were on stage for 25 minutes of improv comedy. I saw my friends Julia, Max, Alaina and Gustav in the front row. It was nice to have support from my friends. The audience reacted well to everything that went on and it was an awesome time being on stage. We all decided to hit Molly Wee after we took a group photo and we drank for about two hours. Everyone hugged and went our own ways and I hung out with my friends at Molly Wee, then Revival, then Common Ground then Lucy's. After Lucy's we went to eat pirogis. I got home about 4:45am. Today I woke up early and I have no idea why. I have been up for 3 hour now and I am feeling better that I did when I woke up. I might try to hit the street fair and then I think the Simpsons and Family Guy are new ones tonight. That's it for today I think. Tomorrow is 9/11 and I should be going to attend the protests going on.
Saturday, September 09, 2006
Performance today, wonder how it will go.
Last night I went out with Max to the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater to see Death by Roo Roo. After that we went to Half King for a drink and then I went to Revival. I didn't drink that hard but I would have been better off not drinking. I saw Danielle at Revival and she didn't seem to happy but I think she got over it. She was annoyed that she couldn't get tickets to the US Open.
There is a street fair outside my house today and I love a street fair. I am supposed to perform in just 2 hours and I hope it goes well. I invited a lot of my friends. I know that Melanie isn't going to make it and Amy messaged me too and said the same. Everyone else is pretty much making it. I will let everyone know how it goes later.

Another Weekend
Watching a Michael Moore film right now, an old one. Got some phone calls to make, an invoice to write also.
Last night I went to Upright Citizens Brigade Theater. I saw Cage Match, the last Cage Match before SummerSlamMania. Mailer Daemon took on the challenger Bicker. It was a great event. Mailer Daemon won but wasn't as funny as previous weeks. Bicker did a fantastic job and scores were really close, Bicker 18 and Mailer Daemon 24. Bicker, I never saw before, was composed of a guy and a girl in many scenes. It suprized me, they edited their scenes very naturally.
On the way home, a movie or TV show was being filmed in my neighborhood. A huge 75' lighting crane was on my street and another one two blocks away and cameras in front of the Helen's bar. I don't know the movie but it was a production code named Six Degrees I think.
About a half hour ago I had an argument with a traffic cop. I was double parked but 'standing' and this female traffic cop told me to move or get a summons. I told her that I was waiting for parking after the street sweeper passes. She said move or get a summons. I asked what should I do when there in no parking till 10 or 10:30? She said, drive around in circles until that time. I said that would create unnecessary pollution and traffic. She said, do you want to be towed? I told her write me the summons but I am calling 311 to write a complaint. I asked for her badge number and she refused and covered it up. I said I will get it when you write the summons. She then walked down the street out of my view. A homeless person walked up near my car and I asked him to walk and vget the badge number op the cop. He did and I gave him $20 because I didn't find anything smaller. 311 gave me the number of my complaint. I heard from my local parking nazi that the cop was fighting with her supervisor and the supervisor was saying I was to be left alone. Than god its not a Monday for that traffic cop because it wouldn't be a good start to a week.

Not as happy as I wanted to be
Today started with a hangover. I started last night at Revival talking with Melanie and Danielle. Many drinks later, I caught the train to go to Boulevard Tavern and walked Melanie home. At Boulevard Tavern, Harold showed Loose Change when the bar closed.
I had to work today on some wireless documentation, it sucks. I have to re-think my goals. Tomorrow I believe I have rehearsal and on Saturday I have my show. I am not as nervous as someone would think.
I am in front of the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater waiting for Cage Match. Harold was supposed to show but I missed his call at 10pm tonight. I don't see anyone from my class here either. I don't think I want to drink tonight but I might have to with this hangover.
Right now I am inside and not in quick enough to get my preferred seat. Alaina and Max couldn't come so I didn't get here really early. After the show, I have to try to get some good sleep in. I have to move the car in the morning.

Wasted day
I read I 'L' magazine and a neat recipe for a Spiked Citrus Sweet Tea appeared on page 18. I never read L before, and I do have to say I am impressed. I thought it was going to be a 'club goers' magazine but it had a good amount of information. It showed that the Cramps and Gorilla Biscuits were playing at different venues around town. Anyway on page 18 the recipe went as followed:
Steep two orange pekoe tea bags in two cups of boiling water for five minutes. Throw out the bags and refrigerate the tea until cold. Stir in a 1/2 cup of sugar, two tablespoons of orange juice, one tablespoon of lime juice and one tablespoon of lemon juice. Stir until sugar dissolves anp refrigerate overnight. The next day, fill a thermos with the sweet tea and one shot of orange-flavored vodka. At lunch time add ice, shake well and enjoy.
Now if worked normal office job with normal office hours, this would hit the spot, instead I am just in a lot of bars.
I started making friends copies of Loose Change 2nd Edition an hour ago. I tested the copies and in doing so, I watched the extras section on the DVD. I didn't know, but the guys who put the DVD together are younger than I thought. It just suprized me.
I didn't go to Harold night but I was tired. I might go to Boulevard Tavern tomorrow for somewhat of a political night and I can give my friend Harold a DVD. Tomorrow I start the Social Engineering Test against a client and I don't know if rehearsal is going to work or not.
Tuesday, September 05, 2006
Have a good holiday?
I am just waiting for parking and watching Dawn of the Dead (directors cut). I am kind of tired this morning because I didn't get much sleep. The weekend had lots of planning to order tickets and check on the other home. I have to perform a social engineering test this week and at the end of the week I perform at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater. We are just 123 days away from tommEE pickles birthdaycon and the entertainment is arranged. I got to hang out with a friend who is some sort of a fed this weekend and we did skip traces on people, that was real fun. Some people are super silly. I got a call from Julia yesterday, she wanted me to come out and play but I had to buy lots of DVD-Rs for burning of the Loose Change DVD.
Figure this week will go like this. Today hacking the company I am supposed to. That will last this all this week. Tonight is Harold night, I am thinking of going. Thursday is Cage Match, I definitely want to go. I am supposed to have rehearsal that night also, we will see. Friday I think I might stay in to be ready for my performance on Saturday. Saturday I perform and then Saturday night I get drunk.
I updated sections of my website and me and el_jefe will be in a town near you soon. The stupid twins are on a mission again.

Weekend is ending
I was sick yesterday with a fever which is unfortunate since I perform
next weekend. It sucked being indoors but I have to stop spending so
much money. I went out as you know of Friday night but when I went
through my pockets in the morning and I saw that I damaged my Canon
SD300. Sucks, especially since 9/11 protests are coming up and my
performance on 9/9.
I ran out of DVDs the other day so today I have to run up to CompUSA
and buy a couple of spindles. I also was searching for my name on
google yesterday and I saw a great quote.
"21:34, <Professor>, like that fucking TomEE Pickles fuck stain.

Quote of the week from Bloomberg from Rolling Stone

Americans, he tells me, are "too freaked out" about the threat of
another attack. "There is a much greater risk from lifestyles that
hurt you - smoking, walking across the street without looking both
ways, not putting bars in the window if you've got kids and you live
above the first floor, those kinds of things."

Bought some ice cream, staying in
I was just watching the 10pm news. They brought up the view commuters
see on the way to New York City at the World Trade Center stop. This
made me think of a good thought of Deanna, since I have been bashing
her for a while now. When I had an interview downtown, we got off at
the C train stop at the World Trade Center. I had two friends killed
down there and I had not been to the site since the 1 year
anniversary. I broke down but I felt better since I had her by my
side. I know nothing in the world will bring my friends back but I
cannot stop feeling sorrow because the way our society have shaped
that day into such a Lifetime special. I hate how alot of people
believe it was an act of terrorism and wasn't a cover up. I often get
looked at strangely when I bring up the fact it was all about money
and government control.
I did think alot today about how I handled last nights events. I
should have at least talked with Deanna and told her that I didn't
want to talk about anything when I was drinking. The issue was I was
with Tina and Deanna came up in conversation earlier. I don't want to
smear her name today but Deanna did treat me badly because of issues
she had. She broke up with me the day before I moved back to NYC and
she cost me a plane ticket that I purchased for her to drive cross
country with me.
Maybe there is someday when I will resume conversations with my
ex-girlfriend. I did avoid nights at revival when Danielle started
working there. I do like Danielle as one of my friends but it's hard
to have a friend or two that are directly in the middle of this
doodie.
Oh what a night.
Last night I left my apartment about 9pm and got to Tina's apartment at 9:30pm. We hailed a cab to Boulevard Tavern and saw Frank, Stevie, Harold, Ria, and Paul. We had several drinks then left for Revival about midnight. At Revival, Melanie just got off work and was hanging out. Devin was just leaving and Danielle was bartending. It was funny because I ran into my good friend Jen when I got there. Jen and I usually have dinner together once a month to catch up but we haven't for such a long time. It was good bumping into her. Things turner weird when Danielle decided to call Deanna (my ex). I didn't know who was on the phone so I was a little dumbfounded when it was handed to me. When I learned who was on the phone, I handed it back to Danielle. She said to me that Deanna just wanted to congratulate me for performing at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater. I told Danielle that this wasn't the venue for me to start conversation back with my ex-girlfriend. We ended up closing the bar and I got home about 4am.
Today I don't think I will go out. The weather sucks, a lot of people are out of town. I will probably order up some mexican. I am watching Bill Mahr and it am trying to blow through this hangover. If I do anything else you will be the first to know.

Welcome to September
Last night Max, Alaina and I went to the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater to watch Cage Match. It was Big Tobacco versus the champions Mailer Daemon. Good wrestling match between Vynus and another girl. Mailer Daemon has won again making it 4 wins in a row.
I am sitting in my car waiting for parking, watching Neverending Story. I am going to head to the office so I can setup the stuff for a social engineering test I have to next weekend. 2600 is happening today but I am not certain I want to go because I am dressed for work. I would like to see Bobcat and BillyGoto. Tonight or tomorrow I am supposed to hang out with Tina at Boulevard Tavern. Still think about Ana once in a while
