Audio DVDs are nifty. I have a New Age DVD that I’m listening to right now and it is quite nice. I can’t hear anything else in the house right now, but I don’t really mind. 
I got a gift card to Border’s today. I think I might use it to buy the Audio DVD version of Metallica’s black album. That would *so* kick ass. I almost bought it when I got this one, but didn’t because I thought that might be a bit too extravagent. Maybe I should ask for some Audio DVDs for Xmas.
My sister’s bf has been using my truck for the past few months while he got his car fixed (timing belt went I think). He found out last week that the engine block is cracked so even though he doesn’t have the car (Hyundai Sonata) paid off, he’s further ahead replacing it. So they have started looking at other cars (Chevy Cavaliers). I have a message on my answering machine right now that he locked the keys in the truck at work and needs me to come get them out. Grumble. I didn’t rush out right away because I know he doesn’t get done with work for a while, I don’t know if I need to be here to let Cori (his sister, who is also staying with me now … more on that later) into the house since she doesn’t have a key, and I don’t feel like driving into Stillwater during evening rush hour. He gave me directions to the restaurant he’s working at, but didn’t leave a restaurant name or a number. Argh! Isn’t that stupid?

I’m getting *really* tired of the rain. The weatherman said tonight that so far this month we’ve gotten about 3.1″ of rain. Normal *total* for the month is 2.1″. Yowsa. It appears we’re having one of the wettest years on record too.
I hope this means we get lots of snow this winter. I love lots of snow, even though I don’t like shoveling it. That would just mean I have to buy a snow blower. That gets kinda spendy though if you want a decent one.
I spent my entire afternoon reformatting and gutting computers. Mostly Gateway 2K PCs… those cases SUCK! I hate them. I cut a finger dealing with one ‘cuz the cover was being beligerent (gotta love OS X’s built-in spell-check for every application). So many stinkin’ screws to remove too. I do have a pet peeve about computer cases … people who can’t take the time to put a couple screws back in the case to make sure the cover stays on and doesn’t slip and cut somebody piss me off. Grrr!
Well, I was up late watching the Pack hand da Bears a loss. I think that was the best Packer game I’ve watched this season. They actually had a solid win (rather than either pulling it out of their collective rear end or having it handed to them on a plate). Go Packers!
Off to bed for me!
WTF? I really don’t consider myself a jock. One more point on the side that these tests are screwy (who didn’t know that?).
