Good thing my flight out of Chicago was delayed by an hour… we got THIS close to taking off, when “air traffic control apparently has other plans” At least it looks pretty… this phone does it no justice.

At least I found a power outlet to sit by… anyone know if my flight to Austin is going to be on time?

Had to take a picture, cuz this prolly won’t happen again… but that, honest to goodness, is my roommate Dave!

I do so dearly love cabling… now we can hook Dave’s piano up to the computer for some MIDI-transcribing goodness, and when our SM57 arrives, hook that up too for some fancy recording. Now all I need is some free time!

My parents came to visit this weekend and my mom got me a fish! I now need a name… any suggestions?

Heh- I never thought I’d be buying computer parts at Best Buy again. I was surprised this weekend to see they were selling 500GB drives for $99, but checking online revealed what I expected: they didn’t actually HAVE any. They just had them on sale. BUT, then we went to the brick-and-mortar store while shopping today, and guess what they had 4 of in stock? I took 3 😀

Look what I found at Woodmans! Never expected to see some Hofbrauhaus this side of the pond… that’s pretty awesome

Right now.

We snuck out a victory… Good thing, too, because the Outback blimp would have been pretty disappointed to fly all the way up here for that lousy first half…

Not quite what we were looking to come back to after the football game… thank heavens we still had our mini fridge sitting here, or this would be a rather unfun week.
