long weekend (bad word count: 2)

OK, so this blog will be more a run on rant of what ive been doing, what i will be doing. just trying to kill some time, i dont want to work and i supervisor isnt in yet...so yay. ugh light jsut turned off...stupid motion sensing lights...i dont want to have to do jumping jacks while i work. anyway, ill start off with what i have been doing. the last three weeks i have been at frog design, as most of you know. oh to let you know this blog will have no grammar or spell check performed, it also will have many errors regarding format...the dot dot dot is usually when im pausing as if i was telling you this in person...that was just to annoy you. ok back to frog. so ive been doing this, argh stupid windows update, i dont want to restart now. ok now onto frog again. ive been having a blast. working hard actually. i havent done any female dog* work yet, ive been doing reeeal design work. started off easy with some PSing (thats photoshopping for you newbs) basically shading and such for a project that had a big presentation coming up. i worked on that for a few days until the presentation and then jumped ship onto another project which had jsut kicked off its research phase....ok honestly whent i type "just" i always type "jsut" i freaking hate it and ive tried to correct it but argh...still..ok so the new porject is super top secret...its a grey box...nothing to get excited about, but i actually started enjoying it. participated in everything, which was nice, and not only that we were actually using reserach processes they taught us in school! how cool is that, i didnt just waste 4 years of my life. so it was two weeks worth of research and then onto design. we spent the next week comign up with design languages...argh i jsut want to frea....you see JSUT...dammit...i just want to sketch...but i learned a lot when we came up with the design language, and really backing it up with a story. i really like it here! finally the following week, DESIGN! it's been nice to design, even if it is a box, but we have solid design languages we can a pply and im having a blast designing it, i came up with a really cool idea i think last night. but with all this great stuff happening something has to go wrong...i have to come in sunday to work...argh...miss my football day, but i think i get overtime, i have to get it preapproved. and i like money. so thats good. other than the actually work business at frog, the social aspect is great, everyone is super cool..so far...everyday at 4 we have coffee time, it where we all can go down tot he kitchen and they prepared snacks for us, snadwiches and fruits veggies, other days its dessert day and others bbq wing day...stuf fliek that...also they havea pool table and ping pong table down there and foosball and video games, its great! ive only played ping pong here, which i really enjoy and some people are really good here. i want to play pool so i can run the table, everyone knows saules dominate in pool, thanks dad! moving on from frog.

you see there i gave u a little space to catch ur breath..if you made it this far...so this past weekend i finally went back to la, just a quick trip, 100 bucks round trip. got in saturday morning around 9, lisa picked me up. we headed over to her parents house...stupid sexual intercourse* windows update, i dont not want to restart not. we chilled at her parents place for a couple hrs and had breakfast, its nice cause they live close to the beach and that was our plan for the day. so around noon we headed down tot he beach and chilled relaxed played in the waves, it was great fun. we then walked over to one of the bars and had a couple drinks with a friend of mine. after getting slightly buzzed we headed off to another bar to meet a couple of lisas friends. had a few more drinks there, when we got the bill it was for 100 or so bucks, but it had an 80 dollar credit, this was strange but rather nice because the total for the bill was 20 DOLLARS...so we had a choice be a good citizen and report the problem, or pay and run...we did the latter, dont judge me...we did leave a 25 dollar tip though. so after that we went back to lisas parents and chilled for a little bit and headed off to dinner with them. theyre super nice people always fun to hang out with. after dinner we made it back up to pasadena area for some pool and drking to celebrate my friends bday...i got pretty buzzed, but dominated with pool...we played a lot of doubles and my partner and i could not be stopped...it was apparent when i was shooting for the 8-ball, someone called my name wihile i was doing practice strokes, i looked up stared at them and still shot and won the game...it was that kinda night. lots of fun. the next day was much more relaxing i was tired from playing all saturday and only being ablle to sleep for 4 hrs friday night cause i had to catch the plane...nothing major sunday, and then left early monday morning back to sf and went straight to work. now on to big things...
