We got a half inch of rain Sunday, it prevented me getting out and doing any yardwork.

The new computer is running smoothly. Will get some rebates in the mail later in the week. No wonder some people dont do rebates. They make it so hard to fulfill the requirements that it becomes frustrating. Of course, if manufactors just lowered the price and skipped the rebates it would be a better deal. Companies count on people not doing rebates. So it works out for them.

Finished putting the final touches on my room. The lighter paint on my rooms wall looks good and makes the ceiling stand out more. Now I hope I stay happy with this painting job for a couple years because I dont know how anxious I am gonna be to do it again.

Got the DSL up and running at 1 am this morning. We went out and got a longer ethernet cable last night and nearly returned it. After a little cussing and stomping, got everything up and running smoothly.

Had a headache yesterday and another one this morning. Still having trouble sleeping. The nap I took this afternoon may come back and bite me in the butt. I am not used to staying up until 1 am, usually in bed by 9:30 pm. My mom is the night owl.

Painted the ceiling in my room. The darker color I have in my room washes out the color of the ceiling. I think that when I paint the walls it should be better.

I feel bad for the clerk at the Best Buy. It looks like the computer we were all set to buy was out of stock or a closure deal,not sure what the true story is, but we may not have ever gotten the computer we had ordered earlier in the month. Now all we have to do with this computer is get the DSL up and running.

We got about an inch of rain in a early Friday morning rain. Think that brings the weeks total up to about 3 inches. Could not mow like I needed because the grass was too damp.

Allergies have been giving me fits lately. Sneezing several times in a row is never fun regardless of if its a cold or allergies youre dealing with.

Last week went with my mom to Best Buy to get a new mouse (got a nifty optical one) and a new keyboard for the current computer. While we were there, started pricing and ended up ordering a new HP computer and SBC Yahoo dsl. Well the computer was supposed to on the truck Tuesday and then Friday (yesterday) and it wasnt. Called the store to find it might be on the truck nest week. We drove back to the store and found the particular model we had purchased was no longer on the shelves which is not a good sign. So ended up returning the phantom computer, getting one they did have in stock and then getting that computer set up with some software. So today we will be putting it together. The deal we got last night wasnt too much more (after rebates and all) then the one we bought last week and on top of that we get a new printer.

Got rain earlier in the week. Monday the rain was heavy, but for a short period of time. Got about an inch inside of an hour. Was drivin in one area around town and drove through water I really shouldmt have, made it by the skin of my teeth. Was lucky I didnt flood the car out.

Am painting in my room this week. Painting the ceiling one color and the walls another. The ceiling is a nightmake because the builders put this nasty stucco (or whatever the heck is) crap on the ceilings and so the stuff is peeling off as I painting. Making it harder to painting and making it take longer then it should. Will have to chip off what I can and then do a second coat. Which I was going to do anyway.

I have a headache from hell. Its a nice weather related headache.

Sad to hear that Ray Charles past away. Quite a legend. Rest in peace, Ray.

Pulled a tick off my hip last night. Ouch!!

Bought a new computer last night and will be getting SBC Yahoo as my ISP with the new computer.

Got a new game for my gamecube, NamcomMuseum. It has Pacman, Galaga and Dig Dug as well as other games. Havent played some of the games on this disc since the days of the quarter arcade.

It rained Wednesday and Thursday, we got about 1 and 3/4 inches of rain or there about over those two days.

The updated version of The Stepford Wives opens today, the original was a crappy movie so I dont know what they couldve done to have improved it. Wish Hollywood would try and make movies based on original ideas instead of updating movies because they cant think of anything better do. Glad the colorizing old movies faze is gone, because there is nothing wrong with a black and white film. Reminds me of a Family Guy episode where Ted Turner is seen at a press conference and he says something like "...and Ive colorized the moon".

Got some rain today. First time this month it has rained. I think it rained a little bit on Tuesday, but that doesnt count.

Got out and did some errands yesterday and then did a couple chores around the house. Boring stuff but it has to be done.

Mowed the backyard this morning. Will probably just putter around the house the rest of the day.

The g4 & techtv merger is apparently complete and the show lineup sucks. I dont know if I will watch the channel that much. To many of the techtv shows got killed off and to many of the g4 shows survived during the whole deal and so now we have major suckage. I miss Call For Help and Tech Live. Of well, they dont seem to pay attention to people like me.

Still enjoying my gamecube. Now that I have a memory card, I can save my games. The Simpsons hit & run is great. May have to pick up or at least rent Grand Theft Auto.

Have no idea what I will do this weekend, other than some chores. I am not sure if I want to see the movie Day After Tomorrow. I love disaster movies, though.

Got my Futurama Season One boxset on Wednesday. Finished watching it this afternoon. Will get the other seasons later on.

It looked like we might get some rain last night and even this morning. But nothing happened. The weather did give me a headache, so I guess it did do something.

Got a gamecube yesterday. I wish manufacturers would print a list of things that you might need on the side of the box so you dont make 5 trips out in one afternoon looking for that item you didnt know you needed until you tried one thing or another and failed to get the product operational. But I guess that would take the fun out of things wouldnt it.
