2 days short and 5 away...

I am looking forward to my trip, sitting in my parents backyard, watching the quails, jack rabbits and prairie dogs go by. No loud noises, no stupid neighbors, no idiots with loud trucks at 06:45... If my brothers want to go drinking, since I won't be driving, I'll have a couple, just to get a good buzz going, nothing more. I'm wondering what Samantha will be thinking for the 5 days I'll be away. I'll make sure my friend and his son goes to check up on her, I'm sure she'll be slightly distressed.

The 22" monitor has arrived and I'll be going to pick it up after work and you know your getting old when you have a hard time seeing things on the screen with a 17" monitor. Of course with the larger monitor I'll be able to watch movies a lot better from the couch than having to sit so close to the computer.

With my music playing after hours here at work, I have the sub going, everyone who hears it and passes by thinks that the small portable travel speakers I have sitting on my desk, has really good sound, until I point out the portable sub under the desk... usually I'm tempted to just not point out the sub, but then again... I want to get a travel dock for the Zen Vision W, but Creative Labs hasn't designed one yet, so until then...

Last week, I got hooked on Mini Charleston Chews that I purchased at a store in downtown Minneapolis, I'm currently working on my second box of these darn things... The other candy I'm hooked on is the Sponge Bob Krabby Patties, it's the gummi type and tastes really good. When it comes to sweets, I can be pretty bad, to the point that since I was little, it has done a number on some of my teeth.

Forgive me father, but it's been almost a month since...

I guess it's been a while since I last made an entry, although it's been a busy month, Digital Cable, Command and Conquer 3, cleaning up the apartment (and clean I did!). I found things that I haven't seen for a while and also reclaimed a lot of space, throwing out old law enforcement magazines. I'm hoping to move out of there and rent the basement of my friends house, which is in a lot better neighborhood and a lot quieter.

Also, I've been converting movies so that it'll transfer and play on my new media player. Last week I got a silicone skin for it and also a SD Card adapter so that I can transfer pictures from my camera (which I haven't been taking much lately) without having to wait till I get home and move them over to my computer, to the media player. I'm also looking forward to a new monitor, my friend offered to pay for it now and I pay him back later. I'll be getting a Sceptre 22" LCD DVI/VGA Monitor with a 2 ms response time from newegg.com. The current sale price is $248.00.

Next week I'll be gone, but will be back after that. Going to Colorado for a couple of days, I really need to get out of Minnesota for a little while. At least all my past issues are no longer current issues and thats less stress that I needed. I'm still debating on writing what they were, but for now, it's mine and mine alone.
