There was this one time where I had this blog and I didn’t update it for like two weeks. Wait – that was now. Anyway, here I am with a list of fragmented thoughts:
- scootering is fun, biking is almost as fun, especially with the weather finally getting nicer.
- bought Kanye West’s the College Dropout and Jay-Z’s Black Album. Kanye’s is better.
- also bought the Kill Bill vol . 1 soundtrack – also good.
- also also bought Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and Hitman 2: Silent Assassin. MGS2 is good, Hitman is hard.
- still enjoying the Getaway and eagerly awaiting my reserved copy of Driv3r.
- finally updated my blog with more meaningless blather nobody cares about.
- thinking about a new phone (camera!) but there aren’t any good ones around here. Yet.
- we gave the cat another bath the other day – he liked that a lot
- I need to go rollerblading sometime.
- it’s finally almost summer and I’m happy about that. I think
Yesterday we went to see Billy Joel’s Movin Out at the Fox Cities PAC. Surprisingly, it was not a musical, as we expected it to be. We figured it’d be similar to Mamma Mia, but it turned out to be more of a ballet type thing. It was very good. The lead singer was Darren Holden, and he did a spectacular job.
We also took the opportunity to eat at Victoria’s, an absolutely fantastic Italian restaurant. All in all, it was a very nice day, especially considering the weather.

So, I got my tax return which means that it was finally office chair day today. We went to check out what the store had in stock, and in lieu of custom ordering (5 weeks) we bought the two remaining MIRRAs in the store. Mine is all black and Abe’s is tan on black. It is so comfortable and I may never buy another chair again. Seriously, though, I can not recommend the MIRRA enough. It is fantastic, and even better when you consider the huge discount when compared to the Aeron (my original favorite). It’s surprisingly comfortable as well. I am very happy with it, and the fact that I got it today, and the fact that it was about $100 less than what I would’ve paid at Room & Board.
We also decided to give the cat a bath. He was surprisingly tolerant of this, and doesn’t seem traumatized by the experience at all. He’s happy as he ever was, and a lot fluffier too.
We just watched Matchstick Men and I’m not sure whether I liked it. It was clever, nonetheless. We’re planning to watch Confessions of a Dangerous Mind tomorrow in what has turned out to be a Sam Rockwell (hot!) themed weekend. Last weekend we saw Pirates of the Caribbean and I’m happy to say it was awesome.
I am also excited because our housewarming party is coming up – an event I have looked forward to since October. That said, we need to focus on hanging the rest of our pictures this weekend. And maybe finding a bookshelf / room divider. And cleaning up the huge mess of LEGOs on the floor.
Ok, I think it’s due time for bed, since it is actually technically early morning on the 27th.
…and he pulls it off so well that I’m sending him to work for me tomorrow. He’s a pretty kitty.
I neglected yesterday to mention that my phone is the 3560. Not that it’s important. I like it. One of the coolest features is that you can change the color schemes. It also has the polyphonic ring tones which are kind of hard to get used to. Compared to my old 3360 it’s more phone in a smaller package. I appreciate the ability to separate my phone book into groups (friends, family, etc) and assign particular ring tones to those groups. Even cooler is the option to turn off alerts for certain groups if you so desire.
OK, I don’t know where I’m going.
They really are. Yes, I suppose that is kind of a harsh viewpoint to adopt, but I’m pretty fed up with birds. Really. For awhile, only caged birds were annoying, because they make noise and you can’t really do much with them, and I guess I just don’t see the point of having a pet you cheap oakley can’t play with. But now I think it’s all birds, at least the smaller ones. Perhaps, though, it wasn’t the birds making noise at 4AM this morning while I was trying to make myself go to sleep. See, we stayed at a friend’s house and therefore were sleeping on the floor. Maybe it’s just that I’m really bad at sleeping on the floor. And so we left at 7:00 this morning because Abe had to work, and I’m thinking, well, I’ll just go to sleep when I get home. But instead I decided not to, I’m not sure why. This is the last chance I’ll have to sleep in my bed until we get back from Minneapolis Sunday.
Also, we got a cat.
