Hello world rested!
-> Sleep is the best medicine / drug.
Last night I actually wanted to "just short" home and then again
back to college, but when I during the Return'm more than once almost fell asleep
, has my mind compared to where my body beaten and I have
incredible still-never -unprecedented ten (!) hours sleep! Whoa does this well!
Everything is much more beautiful (even the weather), it tastes better, more fun and all the motivation
deposits are recharged.
Then I rise this morning from my neighbor's lemon tree, the branches in our yard
, steals and two lemons me a freshly made hand made lemonade.
Hmmmm ... would have to start every day!
-> Run.
takes place today in Long Beach a marathon / half marathon and I really would have
at least try the Half-Marathon will again. Then I would not even
caused by the traffic chaos through the barriers have to torment. The run course goes
namely around the entire CSULB area and the goal is just
times a block away from my apartment - and thus corresponds exactly
my way to the university.
-> final sprint.
undertaken after an hour but now I get this far and can now work
dutifully in the model shop. Yes, because it is in final sprint-
says. On Tuesday, final presentation to do our first design / project and much
too much.
-> model making paradise.
Yes it is here. We have 24 / 7 access to the model shop, where all machines are pretty much
that you need (except for 'Ner CNC milling). And we may also use
ALL machines at any time and get for the $ 50 shop fee ' even
FREE FOAM! The only constraint is that we are in the shop - not
work alone - for security reasons.
is the only major shortcoming that we have no real man workshop manager à la House
. One is Professor, the idea of the stuff is only twice a week
here and then also has very little time because he gives courses ...
are in the workshop's all kinds of hand tools and equipment: Standardkram á la
files, knives, sandpaper, screws and nuts, etc., but also hot air guns, hot glue
, Oberfraesaufsaetze, altimeter, air schleifaufsaetze and Flex.
one who switched from the CSULB to Artcenter in Pasadena has come even on weekends
here to here the workshops used to (okay, also because of his girlfriend
...).
So if you have some idea of the machines and processes, it is really a
'model making paradise'.
-> vacuum forming.
This machine is great! I've lost all respect vor'm deep drawing ... ;)
Nix because of complicated with time and temperature programming and Tralala.
The machine here is all operated by hand and by feel. Everything looks
from mighty shaky and rustic. But it does use 'nen murder fun thing to
and the results are totally okay - if it works!
-> entertainment capitol of the world. Modest
here called LA
Ronnie (one of the roommate) has now moved to Houston, Texas where dozens of stores and manages
a fast food chain. Just before he ran away, but we are together again
drove to LA. We drove through South Central, where I would otherwise probably not alone
executed trust. And there he showed me the gas station, when he
the age of 17 (through faked birth certificate: 21 years) had his first job.
amazing story about Band shootings (in the gas station was shot three times on
him, twice he was behind bulletproof glass). In downtown LA
has he shown me the whole markets. INSANITY! Everything is so dirty,
shabby, messy, and looks more like Mexico City. For this to be here but
implemented daily to millions. No, no drugs, but pretty much everything else (electronic devices,
jewelry, watches, toys, clothes, etc.). For all that is in the Far East or Mexico/Sued-
America produces and for the U.S. market is provided, comes in the
Port of Long Beach by ship and will be here in downtown LA from numerous
to small business people, but sold to the big retail chains / wholesalers
more.
Only a few blocks from the Staples Center, the parking lot with stretch limousines fully
is available; the players of the LA Lakers have just training ...
-> Hollywood once again.
Cetin, my other roommate, the guitar and policy studies' s really a funny guy. He is somewhere
Turk and raised in northern Germany, has therefore roughest Hamburger
accent and stark Proverbs on it and is super easy on it.
A few weeks ago he wanted to actually meet with 'NEM types in the Roxy (Hollywood). The
had in fact sought by display after guitar players. The type is not immersed in
-and when he then asked someone, he replied that that he the guy
absolutely does not like him and has therefore not allowed in the store. "Wow, the whole
way from Long Beach for nothing ... "thought Cetin, but after he came to the other guy's in
Gespraecht, it turned out that this was the keyboard player from Guns'n'Roses
. Cetin has still ' n some other band members met and then all
evening that passed through the club. Because I have colleagues not know and him
really believe not wanted, he gave me the next day was the photographic evidence
together with the CD . Covers shown can imagine even with what for 'Ner joy;.
because that is exactly the music to which he departs, and he also likes to play ...

Last week I wanted to Cetin only once to Hollywood and in one of the bars and delicious
cheap eat (!), but it was totally crowded and we are down Sunset Blvd. went back to the whole
shops to the bus station. The restaurants have tables on the footpath
usually up and at a Japanese sushi restaurant, sat at the very fact ROBBIE WILLIAMS
table with some friends! I'm not six feet away and I then walked past
long and hard about whether I ask him for a photo. let's belongings but be true, because I
disturb its local Unrecognized unit did not want and I'll probably would have in its place
found quite annoying.
So enough "chat", must now quickly back into the model shop ...
take it easy,
