Alright, so it's 2k4 now and what's new? Nothing. Finished a bottle of vodka yesterday, got up at 11:30 with nary a hangover in sight. So that was good at least.
My computer was making a strange noise, so I opened 'er up and found a hunk of dust in one of the fans. I've since remedied that situation.
There's a Farscape marathon on tv today, so that's good. It's a pretty kick ass show. Chia (sp?)'s a bit hot.
Went to Old Navy for the first time ever, and bought jeans for the first time since grade 8. That was a mixed-benefit trip. The store was jam packed and I had to wait in lines for a total of 45 minutes, just to buy one pair. Not to mention that when I finally got to a till I found out that they were 50% off. Had I known that before I would have grabbed at least another pair. Oh well, such is life.
Thanks be to Jamie for suggesting the pants.
I also spent $150+ at Chapters yesterday (minus the $70 I had in gift cards). I bought Stuart McLean's new Vinyl Cafe Diaries, Micheal Moore's Dude Where's My Country?, a book by Esquire Magazine called What it Feels Like, which contains first hand accounts of what things feel like (i.e. winning the lottery, getting shot, getting ebola, having an orgy, etc). I also picked up a Sigur Ros cd, which is very amazing. I was browsing the books, and heard Sigur Ros coming from the cd section. Walked over there and looked all for it. When I finally asked someone who worked there about it, he told me the copy playing was their only copy, but offered to sell it to me anyways. Which he did. I also picked up a nice wall calendar for 50% off. I think that's it. I won't go into how I initially drove all the way to St. Vital, but the Chapters there didn't have the books I want, so I had to drive to the Polo Park one.
I joined up with the Columbia House dvd club a few years ago, after having been a member of their cd club. I learned from that earlier membership that if you don't purchase any of your 'commitment purchases', nearing the end of your term they send you a letter informing you of such, and offering you 20% of the items, so you can buy all of the cds (or in this case dvds) needed to copmlete your membership agreements. So that's what I've done this time again.
I remain.
