I finally got around to getting pictures up of our new house. The pictures didn't turn out perfect, but here they are anyway. I'm still loving the place and loving my roommates. People have brought to my attention that I always get the coolest roommates by obtaining them through people I already know. I was friends with Dave, moved in with him and Nick, now Nick and I are friends, and we don't care for Dave. I'm friends with Weston, and moved in with him and Charlie, who is supa-fly. I seem to be lucky in that respect. Last night I drove to centennial to hang out with Weston, his girlfriend (who was asleep when I got there), Andrew (who is my best friend at parties when we've been suckin back on grandpas old cough medicine), and Brent (who has a crush on me like I was Kirk Cameron). It was fun. -=MovieQuoteoftheDay=- Difficulty: 10/10 [google the answer if you have to] "You know how you make decisions that lead to other decisions but you don't remember why you made those decisions in the first place."
Today was spent at work in an all day meeting type situation. I got to work and everyone was in out common area discussing how all of our software worked, and how it worked with each other. Even though I got more sleep last night than I think I ever have on a work-night, I was still trying hard to stay awake during some peoples presentations of the layout of their software. Raj didn't have a problem keeping awake because he had his laptop hooked up, and mocked me for not having one in yesterday's comments. There's this guy who comes into our work all day every Wednesday named Mike Clark [clarkware.com] who insists (along with Raj) that my blog needs an rss feed, just so they can be lazy and read my site without going to my site. I'm looking into that, there are some blogger hacks out there that may let me do this. He said that if I do get a feed going, and happen to post something funny or interesting, he will link to it from his blog. It scares me that he has the ability to send his 1000 hit a day readers to this crappy little nook of the web. When that day comes, I better be sure I'm freakin hilarious. -=MovieQuoteoftheDay=- "He calls himself 'the deconstructionist'."
Ahh, the sweet time of year that is the beginning of school. Innocent freshman come in the mix, letting the 'community of college' and the lack of disrespect get the best of them by carrying on for several minutes longer than tolerable to show their teacher that gosh darn it! they know something, and they'll be damned if they're not on a first-name basis with the prof the first day because their elder sibling was such good friends with him that they're a shoe-in. Whats this? Off in the distance, a plump, polished jock enters his women's studies class expecting a nod of respect from his female colleagues. He's so sensitive, what with taking this womens studies class and all. Hes so sweet. Actually, they can all see through your half-assed attempt at using these predicted feelings in order to get fresh with half the class. Give it up you tool. And this is the last first semester for me of a year. I have a light load. I go Tuesdays/Thursdays 9:30-11 & 1:30-4. I have 2 comp sci classes and an "Electronic Imaging" class. Your guess is as good as mine on that one. Have a wonderful day as I know I will. -=MovieQuoteoftheDay=- "That is a big trunk.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tonight I embarked on the "take pictures of the house" project, but became very frustrated. None of the pictures came out good and I tried to make a cool layout of the house in photoshop, but it ended up being complete crap. Sometimes I get so mad and I just flip out in my head and want to break things (psychiatrist read: things; not people). Got download accelerator. it blows. Saw S.W.A.T. it blows. Anyhow, wow. I have been really unmotivated to do this site lately. I think what it needs is a facelift. 3 years of the same design is pretty much crap. But first, it needs a new name. I have wanted to get my own domain for some time now, but as everyone knows, it is really difficult to come up with a URL. So I am asking your help. I would like suggestions for website names. markhusson.com is already taken, and I want something neat that isn't necessarily "mark" branded; like don't put www.talented-and-halarious-yet-sensative.com, because the only person you could associate that with is me. I need a broad name for in case I decide to branch out. PLEASE put your suggestions in the comments. Here are some ideas to get you started: Some of my favorite words: Cobalt, Orchid, Dystrophy, poop. I dunno. -=MovieQuoteoftheDay=- "So you have to fall back on superior intelligence and superior firepower. And that's all she wrote" stupid comments. keep trying. you're resilient.
So Some unnamed worker from the Internship office at Regis is coming tomorrow to have a 'visit' with me at work. Apparently while they are there, they hope to accomplish the following: 1) See where I work. my cube, my co-workers, etc. 2) to talk with me about what I do. Do I like it? what is fun, what is challenging? 3) To take my picture. The question I propose is why. Why do they want to do this? First, I'm not going to gain anything from this, and neither are they. Second, Its gonna just make it so I can't get my work done for a half hour, and they'll probably tote Raj around with us, rendering him unable to do work because of this worthless charade. Finally, they're going to take my stupid picture? What for? So they can have photographic evidence to other students that this kid is happy with his internship? They didn't even get me the internship! They just provided academic paperwork so I'd get credit for the internship that I got on my own with the help of a friend. No Regis. Anyhow, I'm pretty excited about the whole thing actually. I'll be sure to bring lollipops to offer them on their visit. -=MovieQuoteoftheDay=- SAME THING! Muhahahhah! Someone will get it. Hint: Bud Court was "in" the movie. "It's been so long since I've put my popcorn on the dash."
I was talking to roommates Weston and Charley tonight about my history with computers. everyone always thinks of me as tech savvy, and a guy who knows everything about them, but for some reason there are always stupid problems with my computer. I wouldn't min this, if I hadn't worked at Best Buy for two years and learned how many complete idiots have such consistent luck with computers, whereas I, who should know about these things always ends up just looking like a complete idiot when I try to do anything, like with setting up that wireless network, or installing a hard drive. This example was made up to exemplify the situation while talking to Charley and Weston. Some 45 year old chump who has never seen the inside of a computer before comes into Best Buy and says to me, "Hi there! Uh...I had a question. I just got a new hard drive yesterday and got it up and running and everything's working just fine, no problems there, but, uh...I was wondering.... Um. Geez. ...Nope, I guess thats it." annoyed face. -=MovieQuoteoftheDay=- Difficulty: 10. Hint: it was made in 1984, and you haven't seen it. "It's been so long since I've put my popcorn on the dash."
Super boring day. Worked. Came home. Took 3 hour nap. Spent 3 hours setting up wireless internet. Going to bed. I wish I had something a little more interesting, but...I got nuthin'. I'll try to be better next post. -=MovieQuoteoftheDay=- "Very small rocks!" (I'll be adding lines to this quote throughout the day until someone gets it, unless you want to impress everyone and get it before I add any...)
Mark Returns. Let the mediocre sub-par entertainment commence! So heres the rundown. 1) I'm getting let on at my work for another semester of my internship, which is awesome. Work is going great. They just showed our program to all of our people in Calgary, but thats not really all that interesting. 2) Weston, Charley, and I moved into our amazing huge house. We have a pool table (mine), a ping-pong table, guest bedroom, jam room, 2 huge living areas, dishwasher...etc. I will have some pics of it up for sure, and everyone is always welcome to come over and hang out anytime. 3) Obviously I got some internet all hooked up now, so there should be many more updates. We also bought a wireless Router and some wireless cards, and now we are rockin our box's off. Good times. I should be getting a wireless card for my PDA in the next week or so from Kar, which will be tizight as well. 4) Portland was completely awesome. I went up there for a self-made 4 day weekend to visit Ms. Jenni Jones. Portland is awesome. It is basically Denver morphed with Boulder (minus everything that sucks about Boulder). While I was there, Jenni and I visited everywhere Dave Attell went when he did his show there, including the smallest park in the world. It is 24x24 square inches. It was amazing. When I first got there, however, Jenni and I went to look at the river, but it was closed. and it was only like 11 pm. I was mad because I wanted to see the river so bad while I was there, but we didn't because it was friggin closed. Stupid river. Jenni lives like 15' away from where Billy Bob Thorton got hit by the car in the movie Bandits. I felt like I was living on a set of a hollywood movie! no. But it was pretty rad. I'm sure I will reference things from the trip as time goes on, and I'm sure Jenni will also bring up some fun stuff we did (phantom bus, etc.) All in all these last 3 weeks have been awesome, and living in this house, they can only get better. -=MovieQuoteoftheDay=- "Goddamn it. Thats twice. I want some butts." (per weston)
