I woke up today with an e-mail from Megan that said that her car was broken into, and the only thing that was stolen was her CD Player’s Faceplate, of which, is worth about $2.  Uh, why steal that?  No idea…

I also couldn’t find my wallet, and that I must have left it at Megan’s apartment….. Or Car…

Then, I listened to a message on the answering machine from my credit card company inquiring about fraudulent transactions.  Called them back, and listened to them rattle off several charges from my debit card and credit card.  You know, Debit cards are stupid for the fact that you can run them as CREDIT without the need of a pin number.

Lost some cash, drivers license, my social security card (sigh),  my credit card and debit card, and my moms discover credit card (luckily he/she didn’t touch this), and a few misc things.  I canceled all the cards, but the damage has been done, and the potential for further damage still lingers with my SSN being in an idiots hands.

And to top it off, the statement that I’ll never forget from Megan’s mouth, “You know, I always tell you not to leave your wallet in my car.”  As if I did it on purpose. Hello, accident. Just drive the frigging dagger deeper, would ya! ;(

What a crappy day.

I sigh for not only myself losing power early before sunrise, but also for the roughly 1 million others, too. It’s dark, cold, wet, and boring. Mmmm, more reasons to move out of this place! Atleast I have a few nice investments for this type of weather. A) a fully charged DS for night time boredom, and B) an iPhone w/ unlimited data so I can vent on blog, and read up on some industry news.One thing has gone right today: my Dr. Pepper has remained consistently cold! :p

People ask me quite often why I want to move to California. The first thing that they normally spit at me is in regard to the cost of living, as if that is something to be feared. Apparently, the millions that live in California, failed to get that Memo. Even though I lived there under the Military, I experienced enough of the state to know that I wanted to live and grow there. Not only that, but it is one of the beacons for game development careers. With my dedication, motivation and passion, I’m confident that I will fit in well. But, one thing steps out in my mind for wanting to move there…

I love rain storms… But I will not miss the snow and ice. At least when you are in California, the snow doesn’t typically come to you, you go to it (big bear). But, yeah, I hate it, and pray to god this incoming storm doesn’t decide to kill my power, and/or my short Christmas break. Doesn’t look pretty, that is for sure. Est: .5 to 1″ ice + few inches of snow; 6PM tonight to 6PM tomorrow.

Anyway, off to code, while I have power. ;
