Been Home Awhile
I left work at like 2:30 and got home around 3:30. There was some kind of massive accident on the Northern State Parkway that made traffic pretty bad for most of the ride. Of course, in typical New York/Long Island driver fashion, once they all got a good look at the carnage they hit the gas pedal with a passion. Then I flew home.
Don't have much on tap for tonight, or this weekend for that matter. I have some Netflix movies to watch. "Amores Perros," by the same guy that did "21 Grams", and "Adaptation", written by the same guy that wrote "Eternal Sunshine", "Being John Malkovich" and "Confessions of A Dangerous Mind", which I watched last night. Of course I have to watch "Wonderfalls" tonight as well. Its a good new show on Fox, Fridays at 9 PM. Its probably doomed to be cancelled because of the time slot of death, which is a shame because its a decent show. Better than most of the reality TV crap thats out there. I can't stand reality TV and I try to watch as little of it as possible.
Let see, I also need to get a haircut tomorrow as its been about 4 weeks since my last one and its just getting out of control. I usually go every 3 weeks, since thats when it starts getting out of control, but if I went last weekend then the 3 week mark would've been the weekend I was in Paris. This way, I'll be at the 2 week mark in Paris and it'll be all good. I know that sounds pathetic, a guy worrying about his hair, but hey, I do. When it gets too long, which isn't very long at all, it gets very puffy, frizzy and unmanageable. When its short I barely have to brush it, just run my fingers through it a little.
Sunday morning I have to head into work to take care of some system maintenance stuff. Should be fun and hopefully I won't blow anything up, because in the immortal words of Egon, "It would be bad." I'm doing it all on my own, which I think is a huge responsibility, but I'm up to the task. I'm not worried at all. I'm confident in my skill as a computer geek. I'm also glad that geek is actually, slowly becoming a good term to label people when it comes to computers. It means you're knowledgeable, but cool, whereas nerd means you know everything and you're a nerd.
I was going to weigh myself at my moms office tomorrow, but she's not going into work. Instead she's baking, so I'll just weigh myself next weekend, or before I go to Paris so I can have a comparison for when I come home from Paris fatter after eating all the good stuff. Must avoid the British candy though, even though I know I'll be bringing some of that home. I could kill for some Maltesers and Fruit Pastilles right about now. I was joking with Elena that if the candy in Britain kicks American candy's ass, think about how good the French stuff must be. I said we needed to find some Maltesers (just say it in your best French accent for the joke) in France, because they were sure to be even better.
Right now the dog and I are relaxing on the couch and I don't feel like getting up to do anything. I'm testing out my iPod mini's battery. I haven't had the chance to just let it play and then drain it, so thats what I'm doing now. Sort of calibrating the battery. I'm happy with my purchase of the mini over a full size iPod, because with the amount of music I have it would've had to be the 40 gig, and thats just too much. I got the money for my mini from the sale of my old one, and thats an even trade if you ask me.
Alright I'm out. Nap time on the couch hopefully. Me and this couch are good like that. Adios.
Current music - Jet "Are You Gonna Be My Girl" (Ironically the song that plays over some iPod commercials. Another coincidence, I swear)

I spent a week in Paris (where I Had dessert almost every day) plus 2 weeks in Germany and at the end of that trip I came home 10 pounds lighter... without even trying. You might be surprised!
