The Best Day Evah (2008 Edition)
by Ranil on Jul.07, 2008, under Life in Los Angeles, Points Of Importance
On July 2nd, 2008 AD the universe conspired to put into place a series of events that would turn what was supposed to be an ordinary day for two young programmers living in los angeles into the “Best Day Ever”. The story involves a burger, a magic glove, and lyrics to an old Disney song. Interested? You should be.
A new perspective is really more of the old

I spent a lot of the last week or so in a state of fugue. Walking around but not really accepting where I was. It took a few final words and a semblance of an exit plan in order to really begin to make myself function again.
In going through a few old files, my sister came across a binder of mine that contained printouts of the Vacuum Diagrams newsletter I once put out. What funny things we once were. Me and my sultry crew of post-teenage angst writers. Were we good? Were we bad? That’s more for others to decide. I’ll let you decide.
Recovery Food

What do you do when life’s got you down and work puts the screws to you? Why, take a few days off and grab a nice traditional Filipino breakfast to help you regroup. If the greasiness alone doesn’t pick you up, knowing that the cholesterol in your arteries rises a few points is bound to make you feel a bit better.
As many of you know, I’ve been a little down lately. I’m getting to the point where it’s better now, but I struggle with it every now and then. Sometimes, things don’t go as planned – or hell, even as expected – but in the end, we find a way to make it work. You put things behind you and realize that in the end, it was probably how it was meant to be.
Finding Kenny…
by Ranil on May.29, 2008, under Nostalgia, Points Of Importance
I need to say a special thank you Jenn for going through all the trouble of calling Dreamworld in Australia and convincing them to ship me a new Kenny for my birthday. The idea was to repair old Kenny with clothes and parts from new Kenny. A great idea (unless you ask Yuri), however when new Kenny finally arrived, after a very long journey from Australia, the plan fell through. As you can see, new Kenny doesn’t look anything like old Kenny. Unfortunately new Kenny looks like a very shoddier (budget downsizing) version of old Kenny and the clothes are horribly different. Old Kenny is beginning to show his age. His shoes are becoming horribly worn from many years of… well… just being around. I hear “Build-A-Bear” sells shoes that can possibly replace his worn one’s now, but I have yet to actually go check it out.
Unlucky, but OK

Perhaps one of the most peculiar things that I enjoy doing with my down time is to see where my blog is using Google. Imagine to my dismay when googling my name returns it as being listed as part of a spam site!. Not Nulledge, but rather my name is being posted on random message boards (either they were hacked or set up simply to grab keyword hits). Curse you spammers!
