I'm sorry I haven't posted more recently–I'm trying to limit my internet surfing time. As a result, my journal has become little more than a Firefly fanboy site as of late.

Talked to my parents on the phone. My Dad manages Sun Valley Aviation, an FBO in, you guessed it, Sun Valley, Idaho. They just had the grand opening of their new facility. Apparently, it went well–over 300 people attended.

My Dad and Mom visited my sister Heather and her husband Jay in Boise, ID. Jay recently had surgery to correct inguinal hernias. Hailey, my niece, is old enough now (2.5 years old) that she can talk well enough that someone other than her parents can understand her. She likes to chat with me on the phone.

Talked to LG, a friend of mine from LA. She and her partner Peter live in Playa del Rey. She was recently laid off from her job at a construction company. She's looking for work as a CFO or accounting manager for a biotech firm.

Helped my coworker Mitch wire his new house. It's huge. 6000+ square feet of finished space, 7000+ total. His wife will have her own dance studio. I don't know how much it will cost, but I would guess it's somewhere between $500 and $700 K. We laid out 2000 ft. of Cat-6 and dual coaxial cable.

Read “How to Make a Journal of Your Life” and “Moonlight Chronicles” by D.Price. They're like collection of livejournal entries interspersed with cartoon drawings. I like the drawing style, but found the text narcissistic and boring. Which is fine for an LJ, but not for a book you expect someone to buy. It did, however, cause me to start jones'n to draw again.

This Thursday, I will be driving to Charlotte with three of my friends to see Serenity. I'm looking forward to it, though I'm a little worried, since it airs on a Thursday night. However, I generally do well the day after I stay up all night. It's the next day that I crash. Maybe I should take up methamphetamine.

My roommate Ian will be moving out at the end of August. I need to decide by the end of June if I want to renew my lease. I'm thinking about selling most of my possessions, and living out of my vehicle. I'd like to get my lifestyle to the point that I could live on $500.00/month. Then if I wish, I could live anywhere in the U.S., and only work for pay for two days a week. Doesn't work so well with most babes though. “Hey baby, wanna come over to my Honda Civic?” Also, if I got another roommate, rental cost would not be so much more than the cost of storage unit rental, rented mailbox, and gym fee.

I'm also thinking about buying a 3500 SHC Dodge/Freightliner Sprinter (158″ wheelbase, 73″ interior) plus a two-way Datastorm satellite dish. The sprinter would probably be about $40 K new, the Datastorm would be about $5 K. Sigh. Hmm…I wonder if the datastorm would fit on top of a Civic…
