I guess I&#8217;ll put up a big update now.  I&#8217;m planning on moving to California in the third week of August.  Most people who know me well already know that.  What is still up in the air is who I&#8217;m going to live with and where.  Brian is coming with me, but we do not know if we will live with Mr. Machine, Chi, both, or neither.  Mr Machine (who -by request- shall not be known as The Mix ever again) lost his job yesterday, so things may be changing a bit for him.  It remains to be seen whether this will impact the living arrangements for Brian and I.  <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m trying to sell most of my stuff before I move.  I get people interested, but nobody buys anything.  I don&#8217;t know what I&#8217;ll do with all this stuff if I can&#8217;t sell it.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda Nolan and David (something) are getting married in two weeks.  I haven&#8217;t talked to Amanda much over the years, but I was around when her and Dave got together (and she and Ben split).    I actually have a date for the wedding.  I don&#8217;t talk about the break-up of Celeste and I on here usually or anything to do with my &#8220;romantic&#8221; social life.  I guess I&#8217;m still trying to figure out how to deal with it properly.  I have met a few girls in the past six months but none of them really seemed that interesting for one reason or another.  I&#8217;ve been talking to my date for the wedding a lot lately and perhaps something will develop there.  We&#8217;ll see, I have yet to meet her in person.    Fortunately she is from Los Angeles, so if I do start to like her I won&#8217;t have to leave her behind when I move.  <\/p>\n<p>My computer is on its last legs, which is really horrible timing, considering I&#8217;m about to lay down a  few grand on moving and won&#8217;t have anything left to build a new computer until I get a job.  The Machine said he might drive a big van out here to help me move&#8230;that might be cool&#8230; <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve lost maybe 10 or 15 pounds in the past two months by exercising more and eating less.  I&#8217;m at the point now though where I need to go to a gym to improve past this point&#8230;  But that is another thing that I can&#8217;t afford until I get a good job out there.    I got really paranoid a couple weeks ago and sent out (no joke) at least 500 resumes (online).  I got virtually no responses at all.  I&#8217;m not sure if that has more to do with the crappy LA job market, or the fact that they throw out any resume that says &#8220;ohio&#8221; on it.<\/p>\n<p>At least it&#8217;s Friday..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>California, girls, computers, jobs<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":99,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.andrewlorenzlong.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.andrewlorenzlong.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.andrewlorenzlong.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.andrewlorenzlong.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/99"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.andrewlorenzlong.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blog.andrewlorenzlong.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.andrewlorenzlong.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.andrewlorenzlong.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.andrewlorenzlong.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
