Sunday blogging
Did you notice that today was rather warm here in the Mid-Atlantic? I totally can’t believe it. At first I thought it was just warm in the house because the heat was on, but when I left to go run some errands, the car took bloody long to warm up. I swear it was like 30-some degrees in the morning and then after noon it got pretty darn warm. By the time I was heading home, I had to row down the window just to cool down! Pretty soon I’m going to have to turn on the air conditioning!
CompUSA is closing! Well I happened to stop by there and now they’re practically giving things out for about 25-40% off! Yeah, well there aren’t that many good things left, but if you need a laptop or computer, they still have a few items there. Don’t try and get a digital camera or camcorder though…but it’s not as if I’m going to get something there anyways because the best places are probably at sites like B&H Photo or Amazon. So I stopped by and picked up a CD burner for my computer. Yeah, that’s right. I bought a CD burner. How draconian, I know…but my poor computer still needs one. Apparently it’s possessed. The CD-ROM doesn’t want to open when I want it to and I need to jimmy the damn thing open before I can insert it. I’ll probably go back there since they have some RAM on sale - not sure exactly what kind of RAM I use, but I know that CompUSA has DDR2 RAM there and I think that’s the one I bought last time.
So I stopped by Target afterwards and picked up some DVDs. A few months ago, during the season premiere of Family Guy, they did a spoof of Star Wars and it was hilarious. So naturally Seth MacFarlene released it on DVD. Entitled Family Guy: Blue Harvest, it’s only about an hour long, but they had a set with director’s commentary and a digital copy that’s for play only on computers. Not sure exactly why that’s there because if you have the DVD, you can play that on any computer and stand-alone player. Hmm…so I paid about $10 more for that extra copy then? Or maybe it’s for the 3-D glasses and the playing cards? Crap…well that’s $10 going to fund the next season I suppose. I’m always wondering whether I should buy DVDs at Target or Wal-Mart. They both have cheap DVDs (in price, not quality). The Wal-Mart over here doesn’t seem to have a huge electronics section and Target always seems to carry the latest stuff. But Wal-Mart is sometimes less expensive by about a dollar or so. Go figure…so I wound up buying The Departed and also Dreamgirls. Hey, I hadn’t seen the entire movie yet so now I have. All the movies that I got are really good. I could have bought the entire Godfather trilogy too for $10 each! Wow…talk about a bargain. There are a few more that I wanted to get, but I should really be saving my money.
Finally got back to the gym after several weeks of slacking off. I think the last time I went was in December. I’m getting so fat…but I like to justify it by saying that I managed to go after a bunch of New Year resolution folks started dropping off. Okay, maybe not, but I did see a lot more folks at the gym today, but I guess it’s because it was Sunday? I dunno…but I’ll need to get myself back to the gym more. Totally not meeting my New Year’s resolution though…
