I had to have it. And it's AWESOME. Will post some photos to my album tomorrow.

Thrifty Thursday

Worked from 7 to 4, and spent a lot of time looking at spam. It's unbelievable how much spam some people get. My coworker has spent the most time working with the spam firewall, but I like to look at it to get more experience. I am surprised that some people never seem to empty their quarantine folder, like they don't care.

Left work, came home, napped for a while, and then Johnnie, Jim, and I went to Red Robin and had dinner, then to a gelato place in the city center (I had hazelnut, which was good, but I ate too much). Now I'm stuffed and I hope I don't have nightmares. When we got home, Jim helped us move a table and chairs to our house which we are going to use in our kitchen. We have lived here for almost four years without a kitchen table and chairs, but mostly because we usually eat on the sofa while we watch TV (a bad habit) or eat at the dining room table (which usually stays piled up with junk). Anyway, Jim also gave us a wall hanging from Ikea, and when he pulls down a light fixture it's going in our kitchen over the new table. In exchange for all of this, we are giving Jim money. No free table and chairs here!

I wish it would storm. We need rain badly.

It's hot up in here

Worked until noon, napped until 2, and then ventured to the Smithfield DMV where I was finally able to complete the transaction of transferring my car's title to the new lienholder. After four visits total to the DMV, I can safely say that the bureaucracy there is the worst I've ever seen. Suffice to say, if it can be accomplished online, that's your best bet.

Got home around 5:30, and we had chicken and macaroni cheese for dinner while we watched some news, then ran to CompUSA for some dual layer DVDs. Got home, and relaxed and watched the latest episode of diggnation and then played with a Leopard.

I'm lusting after the iPhone. It's gonna be tough.

The last day of my 30th year

Tomorrow is my birthday. It's an important day!

Haven't been up to much recently. Met a few new guys, maybe one of them will become a friend, who knows. Some people are so clingy and get sort of bent out of shape if you don't keep in constant communication and sometimes I just don't feel like being talkative.

Since it's almost the half-year point I like to clean out stuff, like my e-mail, RSS feeds, buddy lists, etc. It just streamlines things. Anyone who knows me knows I love cleaning and throwing stuff away.

I am looking forward to some birthday cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory!

Post Paris

We had a tremendous time while in Paris, and I actually miss it a lot. I'd love to go back, but it is incredibly expensive. I would say the average lunch (two sandwiches, drinks) would be around $35 USD. That is a lot of money. Needless to say we didn't bring home a lot of souvenirs. I did buy a pair of Pumas, though. ;)

P.S. Travelocity is the devil. I will never use them again in my entire life.
