Today we had our yearly summer picnic at Reunion Ranch. It was pretty fun. We got a little rain half way through but I spent most of my time playing blackjack anyway. I ended up winning a $100 gift card to Home Depot though.

For the World Wide Moment at 12:34EST (11:34 CST) I'm having lunch at Taco Cabana. Exciting!

My last post took about 20 hours to post on HN. It was sitting in my email box that whole time trying to send but not going through. You can look at it compared to the post below it. Notice how the date and time are out of order? Weird stuff...

I feel like it's Christmas!

Day 237 of The sorensilk iPod Challenge

Song 5400 of 7112 - Smokin' Stix by Coolio

All my computer equipment that I recently ordered is arriving today. It's on the UPS truck and should be delivered soon. I'll probably skip out of work a little early so it doesn't sit on my porch for someone to steal. I love how the UPS man just drops stuff on the front porch.

When I was a kid he'd be nice and put it on your back porch or somewhere out of the way. He would even drive over to my mom's office and drop stuff off there if no one was home. Ah, the good old days of customer service, how I miss them dearly...

The wife and I are about to watch Knocked Up. We noticed a whole lot of dates going on in the theater. I found it amusing because almost all of them are going to go home and not have sex tonight after this movie.

I live in a new neighborhood that's still being built so there's always construction going on. I try to avoid those streets but yesterday I went on one. I even drove on the complete opposite side of the road but still managed to get a nail in one tire and a screw in the other. So I'm back at NTB. It sems like I have to come here every few months for something. Oh, and they looked at the wear on my tires and said I need an alignment too. I love driving but I hate cars sometimes...

My stinking voice mail symbol will not go away. It's been stuck up there since last night. Now, every few minutes my phone vibrates at me but I can't do anything about it...

Day 233 of The sorensilk iPod Challenge

Song 5324 of 7112 - Silver Children by Tsutchie

I finally ordered all my parts today for a much need computer upgrade. I've been pricing everything out for the past few weeks because my current system has started giving me some problems. I ordered everything from newegg of course.

I decided to go ahead and try the dual CPU's and I'm getting a video card that can actually play games with the settings maxed out. I'm not a huge gamer but I like to play every once in a while. Also, I can never go back to a single monitor and I wanted to try widescreen monitors so I ordered dual 19" widescreen LCD's too. The cool thing about them is that their stands have a pivot point so they can be rotated to portrait or landscape very easily. This makes editing portrait pictures or writing lots of code easier. Plus it's totally l33t ftw, omgwtfbbq!

If you can't picture what I mean, it looks like this or this.
