the trip to austin was great. its always nice to remind yourself you have the best friends on the planet. try it sometime. unfortunately your mileage may vary. my friends really are the best. here! http://www.flickr.com/photos/saboot/sets/72157620844952956/

going to houston to have a camper installed on the truck. the truck! still no pictures. of that or the apartment. maybe, on the day i move out and buy a new car, i will post some of both?

found a flea on z tonight. treated her, and will have to flea bomb the place while we are gone tomorrow.

such is life. find the fleas, run from the fleas, kill the fleas, live amongst the slain and disfigured corpses of fleas.

oh!

did you know that openoffice totally sucks compared to ms office 2007?
did you know that windows 7 is lickety slam better than vista and vista was no slouch?
did you know that the writer and director of rent jonathan larson died the day before the release of the musical?
did you know that if you rub wet coffee grounds on your post garlic stankt fingers that you will again be able to smell the world?

did you know that:

while i have reached an all time high hatred for almost all social networking, most of my friends are using it obsessively and i rarely get any of them on the phone but in some cases thats a good thing because some are boring on the phone

my pretty lady is leaving for colombia for the long haul and im headed for glorious doldrums

my dad is visiting me and in the brief hours hes been here he already cooked me kheema

im going to austin to visit and go to a wedding after being gone for 1 year and 1 week and aaron is doing all the planning

my first acer ws monitor (the second of the dual monitor pair i assembled two years ago) was just received by acer for color problems

i threw out six pairs of boxer underwear in favor of boxer briefs

my mom uses her zune and its easy

i use my iphone and often revile it

i suffered my first meaningful defeat on scrabble online and it was down to the last word

yes many things have occurred in the last month. i did move from down the street into a great duplex. more room, better layout and way WAY more rabid dogs running into the bathroom. everything but the last part.

i suppose most of my selfish abstinence from the online world of self gratification has been to hang out with amy before she flees from oklahoma to a city that almost sounds like a state. im happy for amy but im not happy for my shirts because they will be stained by the river of my tears for months. awwwwww.

you might think im being flippant. but when you come over and hear the smiths blaring for hours on the stereo youll rethink your tack.

ive posted a little more evidence that i am indeed alive here:

have you leveraged the power of tags in flickr yet? after the YEARS of harping i have done? no? here is a demonstration :

birthday : http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=birthday&w=39749706%40N00

amy cute : http://www.flickr.com/search/?w=39749706%40N00&q=amy+cute&m=text

me chicago : http://www.flickr.com/search/?w=39749706%40N00&q=me+chicago&m=text

im almost moved in to my new place. more worthless pictures are forthcoming. of my new place, my new truck, my new silicone breasts, and my new board games.

settle, kettle.

lets be honest. i have not been posting shit to the internet lately. i guess in my old crusty age im getting curmudgeony? i turned 31 on saturday. it was a brilliant affair. there is so much to tell. to tell who? more on that in a subsequent post. right now i want to give props.

amy got me a tshirt that is going to get so goobered up from constant wear that she will hate it soon. the goal will be to wear it to the cinema in its worst state with her berating herself for giving it to me.

shaheen got me a sweet threadlesszzzzz but i am not quite a yeti yet so i will trade it in for a shrimpy size, but the threadless theme of her gifts is predictably awesome and i hope she doesnt start getting me spoons or slippers because im old now.

yasmin sent me a photo that apple would kill me to get the rights to but fuck them because they still havent given me push notifications so i keep the picture until.

the grand finale. momz pulled a couple off my amazon wish list and i just got flummoxed by two calvinos and real genius, which got stolen in the great train robbery of 2007.

i love everybody but i love you guys more because you got me stuffz. free market folks. my love is for sale like everything else in the world.

i will be posting to the blog soon, just discovered a tool that jaxon has been telling me to use for months, and with it i finally have the help in shaping a few more facets of the site.

but if you look for me on frackbook or twerpster youll probably get nothing as i apexed and am now in decline on both. try your hand. who knows. maybe this old dog will learn new trix. i still lurk like the trew l33chr i am.

i have done a bad job of managing my digital affairs lately.
been too busy to sit down to finish up my tax amend, clean up all the music that has exploded all over my desktop, the hundreds of emails that have no business being in any inbox, to put some new action on the phone to replace the ratatat that has been on there for damn near two months now.

today much got done.

i was thinking about how, in the middle of a snowstorm in late march, i was able to finish off billz, taxes, lists, calendaring, photo organization, watch movies, chat with people, look up addresses, etc.
its a brave new world. i guess it always has been, im just easily amused.
anyhow, new pictures are here:

new videos on qik are here:

http://qik.com/samboha

to be honest i had given up on qik a while ago. it was the first app i installed after jailbreaking last year in september, but it quickly lost its luster because the site was so terrible and lagged so badly. my interest was renewed when scott started using it a couple months ago and now you get to see the snow that happened to tulsa as a result!

im hungry so im going to make a cheese sandwich and then do some more "housekeeping" and then go to sleep. while the actual description of this fine and snowy saturday probably doesnt strike you as fantastic as "im going to see prince!" i would ask that you recognize that it has been an EXCELLENT weekend and i am having a splendid time leisurely taking care of business.

i posted some pictures from the phone. if you care to look they are on flickr.

speaking of flickr, if you are like me and want a local copy of your pics so that you can show them to people really fast, but dont want to maintain two sets of photos, you should check out flickrbackup. its finally a usable prog imho.

yasmin is telling me about her feelings about the pictures i posted. and now im posting her impressions to this post that announces the pictures to you.

"its not a ureter thingy"
"stop posting this"
"i had a good day"
"why do your hands look like skeletons"
"that picture was gross"
"this external drive thing is really annoying"
