I love having thing shipping to me. Tracking numbers give me something to occupy my day, and waiting on mail is like a lottery that comes to the mailbox. On the other hand, when nothing arrives day after day, it starts to gets disheartening.  I want my goddamn xbox back.

I’m tired of having my laptop sit in the living room.  I want to play Mirror’s Edge. I need Assassin’s Creed II.  I also need a better keyboard, the one on this PC in the living room sucks.

I need more interesting things to blog about. Worldwake pre-release is this weekend. Playing in Bellevue on Friday, Seattle Center on Saturday.  Not sure what’s going on Saturday night.

It has just occurred to me that I really need a haircut.  I haven’t cut my hair since I shaved my head in July.

This has been a pretty terrible post. All the statements are abrupt, and there’s no thread that really binds it all. Oh well, continuing with the stream of thought.

I’ve been doing burpees to get in shape, starting with small sets, adding one level per day. I eventually want to get to a point where I’m doing 55 per day, but that’s going to take awhile.

That was fast. I’d assumed that keeping up with their release schedule would be a little more slack than this. Oh well.

New year seems to be going alright. The new apartment is finally starting to feel homey. We went to IKEA  and got a set of proprietary bulb that we lacked from the lamp that was picked up last year. A $15 lamp seems super-cheap untill you have to buy $10 bulbs.

So, I upgraded wordpress,  and I guess that kind of obligates me to update the main page as well.

Lots of changes in the last few months, biggest one is that my address has changed. If you need a new mailing address for me, please e-mail or telephone me, and I will provide the new one to you. Also, if you’d like to get in on the sweet housewarming party, let me know. We’re still getting the place all sorted out, but it should be more kickass by then

You never realize how much junk you have until you try and move it all  somewhere. Half of this crap was still packed from when I had to move here from Spokane, and a lot was packed from my near-move earlier this year. Right now most of it is piled up in my room and our spare bedroom, but it should be getting sorted out the first week of next year.

More later, when I get tired of MW2

So this is a first, this entire post will have been composed ane edited on my Blackberry. I searched my office for a notepad, but failed to find anything larger than 3×5, so I activated the full docs to go suite on my mobile, since I’ve been meaning to blog, but wouldn’t be at my desk much today.

Its been a hectic month, Nate moved in till his room at the U opens, and its been really neat having him around. The house has gotten a bit messy after a couple back to back parties, we really need to take a Saturday to deep clean it. Once Nate gets into his dorm it’ll be simpler.

New roommates! Hopefully everything goes smoothly with the screener and they get to move in as planned. At the very least, my wallet won’t be as anorexically thin as it is now. It’ll be weird to be in a full house again, but definitely welcome to have some ladies around.

I had totally forgotten that TV series begin to pick up in the fall, I’ve been trying to catch up on House before I start the new season. Dexter starts this sunday, and this season looks pretty promising, Keith Carradine returns and John Lithgow joins the cast as well, and it’s always nice to see more of Julie Benz.

I think that the format on my phone is making me think this is longer than it is, and not just a series of random twitter-length posts. Not that it really matters, but I’d get more of a sense of accomplishment from typing MORE in the BlackBerry than less. I don’t think I’m using the full potential of the device, and I’d like to change that, but I wish there were more free apps, the app store seems a little bare. I also wish there was a way to browse it from my pc.

So I just checked by loading this doc into full word 2003 at work, and its actually the same length as it appears in word to go. I’ve been incredibly impressed with the whole dataviz suite, I’ll probably pick it up once my trial is over. I don’t know how useful powerpoint to go will be though, I have yet to require a presentation be prepared sans computer.

I’m also fairly impressed at the speee at which I can continue typing on the storm screen. So far I’ve been relatively error free, and can do about three sentences a minute, which isn’t bad since I’m composing and not transcribing something.

Post lunch I’ve been hit with a wave of lethargy, walking around the office in a semi-daze, waiting to be snapped back to reality by a coworker. These chairs are terrible. The lights hurt my eyes. I need some water. Might take a nap when I get home. Blargh.

I think this may turn out to be one of my longest blogs, which mostly validates using word to go on the BB and proves it as a viable platform for such things
