Disjointed Digression

At about 12:15 I’m dead asleep. I should be, I’m trying to get back into my sleep during the day schedule, so I can do my 12 hours of work on Tuesday night. I’m awoken by Zaida going nuts. Someone is at the door. I toss on some clothes and look through the peephole. I see a brown sleeve. I am here to tell you boys and girls Santa Claus no longer wears red and black, he wears UPS brown! The UPS guy had brought my new laptop. A Dell Inspiron 9300 (< --link to the specs for the nerds out there).

I’m pretty psyched about my new laptop. I got World of Warcraft on there and played for a minute or two in widescreen. Very sweet!!

Then I had to run errands. I have gotten fairly shaggy so I went to the local barber shop and got shorn. When Candy called and asked if I had gotten my hair cut, I told her I forgot, that way when she gets home she will be surprised. But I digress…
I also had to get a blank video tape so I could record Hell’s Kitchen for Candy. I swung by Walgreens and grabbed a tape. I decided to be nice and let a lady with two kids go ahead of me. It turns out the older kid was going to by her stuff with her money (all change of course.) And she had to go back and get something. While she went back, the mother realized that there were about 3 other people behind me, so she paid, then started to get her stuff up to be checked out. She had about 15 things multiple coupons and questions. What I thought was going to be a ten minute stop, turned into about thirty. I got home and had to re-wire the TV/VCR/Cable box. But I think I’ve gotten it set up and recording properly. (I know I should have a DVR or TiVO, but, remember, I haven’t watched TV in a few years, so I really had no need for one, and Candy wasn’t really into technology like that).
So there you have it a day off in my world.

P.S. Hopefully soon I will see Batman Begins, I really want to… but the forces of evil are conspiring against me.
