Okay, now summer is officially over. It's 62°F and cloudy today, and it looks like it's going to max out around 70°F in the next 10 days. :/ Bummer. I really, really want to move further south. I've been here for 8+ years and the constant gloom is really getting to me.
My new computer arrived, but I haven't been able to test out WAR yet, because it took over 24 hours just to download the beta bits. WTF. It finished overnight so I should be able to check it out tonight. Hopefully my new monitor will also have arrived and it will be an Experience.
I totally rock on Guitar Hero. :)) Well, on the beginner level. But I totally suck at DDR. Even the beginner levels are way hard, wtf. "Driving" with the Mario Kart wheel is a lot easier than I thought it'd be (that's right, you're looking at the 50cc Mushroom Cup champ -- go baby Peach!), but supposedly if you actually want to do well you need to use the old school controllers.
It turns out that my mom has about a dozen or so high-end designer handbags (Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Burberry, etc.) from back in the day when she was all into such things (I knew it! It's genetic! Therefore not really my fault), but doesn't use anymore, and I've offered to sell them on eBay for her. She is so excited by the prospect of actually getting money for these bags that she doesn't use anymore -- and it's insane but I'm quite certain that I can get at least a couple hundred dollars per bag due to how well these designers have managed to sustain their brand. A new LV, for instance, averages between $1-2.5K, so getting an older bag that's been well cared for, for $200, is a steal. Well, for eBay shoppers who care about such things.
I have a 2-hour meeting coming up that I am positively DREADING. After that I get to go home and clean my floors. Yay. I can't wait for this day to be over. (No offense, A.!!)
