| Saw the best advertisement the other day here in SF:
There was this GIANT vending machine in the middle of a plaza/whatever with buttons and everything, and a giant picture of WHISKEY. At the top it says, "You wish."
To top it off, a couple of cops walking around it trying to figure it out.

| As most of you noticed, xanga (and facebook for that matter) pretty much died in my life once I graduated (and moved to SF). But just to keep you xanga fans updated:
1) I love my work. Everyone here is amazing. Very easy to work with everyone. My team sits on the other side of the building because they didn't have room for me (and all the other new hires) so I'm stuck with all the new hires next to the game room. I can hear everything in there and it's pretty distracting, but when I'm waiting for work/code to compile I just hang out in there. Back in July when I started, all the summer interns were still here so it got pretty loud. Then August rolled along and all the interns went back to school but I WAS STILL HERE and everyone was all like "wtf all the interns are gone, why is the kid still here?" So when people didn't know my name they called me "the kid". All my socializing comes from the game room (surprise surprise) but thanks to that I now know probably 1/10th of my floor. (the 1/10th of the floor that goes to the gameroom).
1.5) We had a release night last night (where our company releases a new version of our product), which was pretty much a party because some people need to work overnight to ensure the release goes well, but there's free food, lots of people hanging out and drinking, and marcus's cute girl friend who he hasn't introduced me to and eats lunch with without me...I didn't have to work overnight because I clearly don't know what I'm doing but I just hung around for free food and games. My team all worked from home that day except my mentor who jetted out ASAP. We also got a free massage =D but damn it hurt...i must be either stressed out as hell or not used to massages (or both)
2) Living alone is nice, cuz I'm very simple person so dota/ps3 keeps me company enough, but damn the rent is ~$1800 after utilities...good thing salesforce is reimbursing my cable internet. But yeah, I need either a roommate(s) or a cheaper studio and then i'll be just fine in terms of money.
I miss everyone!

| Ate at a buffet today. "Fresh Choice" it was called. Started at the salad bar. Got to the end of the line. No meat...turns out the place was like a "healthy buffet" but "fresh" implies "fresh seafood" or "i just sliced this piece of meat fresh off the cow" jk jk jk jk
needless to say...i'm hungry now

| Culture shock:
I'm in San jose right now, and my parents are visiting all their old friends from high school / old coworkers / etc, and we were talking about money differences in SJ vs Naperville etc. So the topic of black friday came up:
Us: We line up around Circuit City and other stores at like 12AM and wait for the store to open so we can snatch all the hot deals. We have all floor plans memorized etc etc
Them: What?? That's crazy. No one lines up here. We go at like 11 AM and stroll in and all the deals are still there. It's not that big of a difference in price is it? What do you guys buy??
Us: things like...500GB external hard drives?
Them: Wow why would you get a 500GB hard drive when 1 TB harddrives are out?
Us: Cuz those cost more than twice 2 500GB hard drives?
Them: I can get a 1TB for 199.99
Us: Which is more than twice 79.99
Them: Aiya small money
*tear*
