First Blog Entry

Greetings

I started this blog on November 27th, and lost interest by November 28th. However, I've recently been inspired by the work on another blog, so I thought I'd give it a shot.

I thought I'd start by commenting on the excessive number of empty water bottles now scattered across my desk. It leads me to believe that in order to get rid of the water bottles, I'm going to have to make a better salary so that I can hire a maid to take care of them. Otherwise, if this keeps up, I'm going to have to get a 27 inch monitor just so that I can see a reasonable portion of the screen behind the growing collection.

Speaking of water bottles, did anyone see the Scrubs repeat Tuesday night? Not the best episode, but the janitor's squirrel collection was pretty funny. That's a good, yet distubing, character.

As I type this, I'm installing the Thunderbird mail client. It has been importing outlook settings for 20 minutes now. At what point should I decide that its probably not working, and kill it?

Speaking of killing, there still aren't any cops poking around my house after that "incident" last weekend. As crazy as it sounds, I may have gotten away with it. In a related story, I think its only common sense for me to stay away from Toys R Us for the forseeable future.

I had planned on working on DVDFriend.us this evening, but that plan went the way of the dodo. Now my goal is to simply get to bed at a semi reasonable hour, but the prerequsites include completion of the thunderbird install, and enough game time on Ninja Gaiden (Xbox) to get frustrated with the boss at the second level.
