Moved

Posted by Joel Thu, 12 Jul 2007 04:21:28 GMT

I'm in San Jose now in a studio. It's ok. I worry my neighbors will be too noisy. I might start looking for another place, most likely in the city, but now I have some time and things have calmed down a touch.

Only not really, because work has been really hectic lately due to a few technical problems. We're working it all out though and so far everything seems ok.

The move wasn't that bad. Aiden helped me move and we had some really good discussions afterwards down at Katie Bloom's in Campbell. I'm really glad to have a friend like him.

Tomorrow is our LuckyOliver party. We've had, as of this blog post, over 450 people RSVP. It's going to be insane.

Trying again

Posted by Joel Wed, 04 Jul 2007 08:32:13 GMT

I've decided to really start living my life. I'm not sure what has been going on with me the last year or two -- it's been an interesting ride.

I'm going to stay in San Jose for now, because it's close to work. This is good because I hate driving long distances, it's greener, generally less stressful. Plus it means during the weekdays I can focus on solitary habits, keep good discipline, all that sort of thing with greater ease.

I'm going to try to spend more time in the city. Living down here makes me appreciate it more; it doesn't feel tiresome and mundane and stressful, it feels exciting. Some buildup of boredom makes for a great release when I do go up there.

I'm going to go to more events. Web events. Art events. Shows. I've decided I'm not too good for it, but was just being bitter, resentful, cowardly, jealous. If you are a prominent figure in my life and I have scorned you in the last couple of years it was probably my own bitterness that spawned it and I apologize for that. I've made some bad decisions and I've learned from them.

I'm reading the hip blogs and using the hip services. And it's all fun. I feel somewhat relieved.

I need to buy a camera.
