Hiccups/Hiccoughs
I've had the hiccups for the whole day now. I don't know what's wrong with me. I haven't had them in a long time. There was one time last year where I had hiccups for about 3 days straight. This time they are off and on. I did some research last time and came to the conclusion that something I ate scratched some part of my esophagus and caused a lesion, which in turn was though of as an irritant by the body. Hiccups are the reaction in which the body tried to knock the foreign object (or food or lesion in my case) out of there. Since it was a cit last time it couldn't be knowcked out and my body kept trying to knock it out for 3 days. I hope I didn't do anything similar this time. I don't remember eating anything hard. I've had soft food all day.
$33/hr Pay
Today an associate of mine paid me $33 for 1 hour of computer work. Actaully he just pulled a big wad of money out of his pocket and gave it to me. He didn't even count it. On top of that he fed me dinner and game me some steak to take to work. Is that a sweet deal or what. Fixing up his computer was so simple that I insisted that I not take the money becuase the food was more than good enough. All I had to do was move some files around and reassociate programs. Tomorrow I'm going to install a 256MB memory upgrade into his computer. I think he'll be happy with the results.

Finally Back
It's pretty late, but I am finally back home. I wanted to post some Blogs from home, but I didn't even want to attempt it with a 14.4kbps modem. It took me about 4 hours to get here. I kind of thought I was lot for a while, but I eventually did find my way. I wishi I didn't live so far from 'home home' as opposed to 'home' (college home).
Cruise Control
I was sitting in cruise control for about 2 hours shifting between 65mph and 70mph (+/- 5mph, usually +) depending on the speed limit. I though I was going to make it all the way home using cruise control, but about 20 minutes from home a Fox darted out onto the highway but then back to where it came from. My foot immediately went for the brake and it disable teh cruise control. I was a little disappointed because I wanted the my longest time using cruise control to be a little longer. It's probably just some stupid way to prove myself to the world.

Waiting...
I wan't able to get access to a computer while at Sony, but I will say that I had a good time, even if it was cut short. The original plan was to stay there until 2PM so that we could see post production on Sony Playstation games. There were also a lot of hot girls there. I wouldn't mind working in a place like that.
Anyways since I did get done early at 11:30, I wanted to go pick up my brother and sister and just head back home. I called their apartment, but nobody was home. I was gonna go home and then come back later to get them, but my sister called as I was approaching San Francisco. I then decided to go to their apartment and wait for my brother, who would finish work at 5pm.
Next stop...Home.

Resisting the Urge
I am resisting the urge to spend money that I don't have. Today, the Nintendo GameCube came out and I really want it. I know that I will eventually get the system, so I figure why wait. I have to wait because I have no money. It is even harder to fight the urge even though I have these credit cards. It's all in the mind. You can do anyhting if you put your mind to it, but with this I don't think I can resist the urge.
