I achieved a huge accomplishment earlier this evening. With a walkoff HR by Jason Kendall, I finally defeated Piya in World Series Baseball 2K3. This ended weeks of frustration. Maybe the next step for me is to beat him when he doesn't handicap his own batting cursor. One step at a time though....

A Toshiba e755 Pocket PC and a 256 MB Secure Digital memory card should now be in the mail, addressed to me. I'm excited, but not for the $600 charge coming on my bill next month. Basically, I expect this thing to be my notepad, mp3 player, phone number/birthday/email organizer, and maybe more functions to be explored. Updates to come soon.

I hate when places close at 9. Lately I have noticed that a lot of places do, such as the library, Best Buy, and the mall. Even though my bedtime is about 10 or 11 anyways, I still believe that every place should be like Meijer, Powerhouse, and Your Mom - always open. tahaaaaa.....

When I hear those annoying announcements like "We will be closing in 15 minutes. Please bring your items to checkout" it reminds me of the old days studying late at Grainger. They would threaten us like "Grainger Engineering Library is now closed. Exit the building immediately. If anyone is found on the premises, they will be reported to Campus Police". As if we were criminals for studying past 1am. Nerds, maybe, but what's the big deal? I've always wondered what would happen if we refused to leave. Would they arrest us on charges of "felony reading"?

More proof that I am becoming too in touch with my feelings: I just saw a Cheerios commercial when a little girl brings a box of Cheerios to her mom and dad in bed and sings "Happy Mothers Day To You" to the tune of "Happy Birthday". Instead of my first reaction being "wow, what a gay commercial", I was like "awww... that's cute." This is not the direction I want to be heading in. To resolve this issue, I will try to watch more episodes of Jackass.

Currently playing on my Winamp: Coldplay - God Put A Smile Upon Your Face

(I haven't done this in a while because I have been writing more at work and I don't have Winamp at work)
