so i was figuring how i could measure my typing speed in order to put it down on a resume, since the kaiser permanente pharmacy clerk job required that you type 60 wpm.

bingo.

actually, fyi learned today that they took off the job from the internet before i applied. BUT! there's some good in it, because it actually forced me to try to create some form of a filled out cover letter and resume. AND, when i visited rite aid yesterday, i had to do a double take, because there was a sign in the window saying they wanted a pharmacy cashier. so i'm going to have to finish these 2 things and get there sometime by monday i guess.

i should get a tie clip.

i'm slightly bummed that i can't watch the olympics this year.

rafael nadal's the man. wished i watched; some (like macenroe) are calling this one of the best tennis matches in a long time. taking it to tiebreaker before beating federer on grass for the championship? priceless.

and shame on channel 4 news' ticker for misleading me. what did they print? "warriors offer 5 year $90 mil deal to elton brand." see how ambiguous that statement is? doesn't matter; warriors don't seem to know how to do things correctly sometimes. and by sometimes i mean all the time. i don't care if they don't win the championship in my lifetime(really), but some gradual forward progress would be nice.

phil's the man for both mailing me a 2-dvd rush music video set and the entire dvd collection of chappelle's show. i gotta thank him soon.

i mustve forgotten how funny full metal panic anime is as a whole, because i was dying on monday. "no problem." "THERE IS A PROBLEM!"

lol at jt's suggestion of drum fills to "just keep hitting something." it's true though. i did it once. and a nice lol to the fact that he thought isabel tried to do triplets.

i did get the idea though of doing something similar after i heard some pearl jam song; forgot which one it was though.

the trick i believe to doing really nice sounding drum fills is to make the stuff sound almost like you're slowing down or speeding up when you're not playing in a different tempo at all; creates some contrast and mixes it up.

i'm glad i went to brandon & cheryl's wedding; long time no see other msm peeps.

had no idea the mountain view library had beck: mongolian chop squad.

the notes i write to myself about basketball moves and techniques runs some 25 plus pages deep. "those who can't do, teach" apparently, lol.
