The Week in Review, TGIF, and Irma Vep
Feb. 24th, 2006 04:59 pmThe week has been amazingly busy, considering I worked only three days. I packed in what I could and next week is going to be that way too. Sigh...
I have my tax returns already. I was thinking of buying a large screen, LCD TV, but decided there were some more practical things to buy. Here are the highlights:
I have my tax returns already. I was thinking of buying a large screen, LCD TV, but decided there were some more practical things to buy. Here are the highlights:
- Monday was good, nothing like a day off.
- Tuesday was misery in the morning, called off work, but felt better by the evening. I bought several DVD box sets and some bad horror movies I've been eyeing online.
- Wednesday was back to work and playing catch up. One DVD already had shown up from Amazon Marketplace, I'll post a review of it later. I have childhood memories of it and want to see if it was really good or I was just very easy to please at that age.
- Thursday was rush day. I snagged an optometrist appointment after work and a visit to Lenscrafters afterward. I took off early from work to avoid any traffic nightmares caused by the unnecessary visit of Dubya to Cincinnati. No new glasses for me yet as they have to be sent off because I chose "rimless" frames. No new contacts for me either because they had to order my trial pair. More tax return money spent with little to show for it there.
- Thursday evening, I did buy a new cell phone from Cincinnati Bell as my old one would be obsolete come May. It has a camera and email capability. I contacted Cincy Bell to see how much each email would cost me. I'll not be sending many emails or pictures on the phone. I do like it, despite that it has sucky games on it.
- Friday was good and busy, made the day go so fast. I like that. So busy that I didn't have a chance to check email or LJ today. I did my work all day to ABBA on my iPod. I forgot who told me to listen to ABBA to improve the mood. It does work. I'm so gay.
- After work, I went to Hell-Mart for an oil change. How can something so simple take so damn long to do? When will I learn?
- No movies were released this weekend that caught my eye, but I remember reading in
cincy_dave's journal about a play called "The Mystery of Irma Vep" at the Monmouth Theatre tonight at 8 PM. Sorry it's short notice, but any local guys want to go tonight??
