What's happened in a month?

  • I acquired my own slot machine. Well, a sort of slot machine. In my home state of NJ, we have morals, so it is illegal to purchase a slot machine that takes quarters, but ones that take quarters are ok. Got one on ebay for $99, and took a road trip up to Connecticut with my dad to pick up. This is what road trips are supposed to be about, getting in a car with someone to run a wild errand in a short period of time...sort of like the Cannonball Run movies.
  • Went to the last ever game at Yankee Stadium. Proof:


    and:
  • Game was ok, ceremony was ok, but it was cool to say I was at the last game ever at the Stadium.
  • Worked my butt off for work.
  • Had a visit from my friend Bernd, who lives in Poland, took an impromptu trip to Boston and passed by NJ for 3 days in between.
  • Discovered that facebook is far too time sucking and is almost like an online version of high school. Do I REALLY need to know that much about people?
  • Kept selling stuff like crazy on ebay. Some stuff sold like crazy, some stuff didn't sell like crazy.
  • Watched the new Knight Rider show. This show has set new levels of suckage on TV. Example of a better actor than anyone on that show: The Emergency Broadcast Signal sound.
  • Started watching comedy shorts at: www.sethcomedy.com - shorts by the same creator of Family Guy.
  • Bought a new keyboard with light up keys. This makes typing in the dark a lot easier.
  • Watched the Mets do their magic. Official Sound of the Mets: Choking.
  • Went to the Anime convention without wearing a costume. I was in the minority. (More on this soon).
  • Other stuff to be revealed in the future, nothing magical, but worthy of more than one line.
