Not Today Friend
I've decided that going with a #5 with a #2/#3 blend is going to suit me just fine for a while... I'm tired of having beadhead. See my avatar? Imagine it much shorter and you've probably not imagined it short enough. (e:lilho) is going to have full reign of my hair someday soon.
My college roommate has been up from Jacksonville for the weekend - we've had a lot of fun and I can't even remember how much money I've spent at bars. Probably too much, to be completely honest. Its alright though.
Thats pretty much all I care to talk about today.

$$$
I got my vest! I came > < that close to buying it online at the hotel in Miami, but I said to myself, "Josh you crazy bastard just wait until you get home." I was rewarded with a 20% discount at Dick's Sporting Goods! Its great to get exactly what you want, but its even greater when you get what you want for less than you were willing to pay. The savings allowed me to purchase a new optic mouse, since I've been using the low-tech roller ball style. Thats so '90s. I also bought the afore mentioned granola and some yogurt. I like blueberry and raspberry, but I had to try the orange cream. Have you ever seen a product called "Gogurt?" When we were kids we had the popsicles that slid out of the long plastic sleeves. Now kids have yogurt instead of popsicles. There is something extremely unnatural about that, and I think its a shame that they have to bait kids into eating things that are good for them. Its like, "Oh, see? Yogurt is fun!!!" Fuck that. Yogurt in a tube is un-American. Why is it that we approach healthy eating like its a shit-filled twinkie? More Ovaltine please! Have you actually ever had Ovaltine? Its like grinding up vitamins into watered down chocolate milk. I hereby request a moratorium on Ovaltine consumption because guess what... the kids know it tastes like shit and some buck-toothed kid in a commercial isn't going to convince a 5-year old that Ovaltine tastes good. By the same token, because yogurt is in a tube doesn't mean that a kid is going to think its fun. You know what else is in a tube? Novicaine shots and crazy glue.

Thats Right
Oh... I'll resize the picture and submit another post. Trust me guys, its worth it. I took some really nice pictures but the ones I had hoped would turn out great didn't. They were blurry. I suck at nighttime photography.
I didn't get a chance to talk about the party last weekend - I had a great time! (e:terry) is a wild man. Of course, I hope the beautiful and talented dynamic duo of (e:tina) and (e:lilho) had a good time. (e:jason) and I will surely crash the Halloween bash, but I don't think our dream of dressing up as a soldier/detainee combo is going to happen.
If my life last night was written as a narrative, and if I was in fact a conceited bastard, it would start something like this -
I smirk as I sip my Chivas Regal while the regular people take the walk of shame through first class.
My boss upgraded my ticket for me, which I thought was super cool. Did anybody see the moon last night? The view was magnificent from the air.
I started reading The Da Vinci Code this week - excellent book.

Fun in the sun
Tonight we go for dinner at Lario's, which is located in South Beach and owned by Gloria Estefan. I got some nice nighttime pictures of Miami from the boat - when I come home I will share.
Ciao -

Leaving Work Early Rules
Anyhow, I skipped out of work early today and went over to Globe - I had the cuban reuben and some of the chicken and leeks soup - excellent! I'm continually amazed at the quality of the food there. I've never been disappointed with any of the soups I've tried there, and I'll pretty much try anything. The "strangest" I think I've had there was a lamb meatball and israeli couscous soup. Its freaking delicious.
My plan for the next couple days is to do NOTHING. I'm officially off until I leave for Miami on Sunday. I've decided to definitely buy some new gear on Friday. I kind of have an idea of what I want, but hopefully I won't have to spend too much time at the mall. I hate the mall! I'm gonna buy a long sleeve shirt, preferably an indigo color or something very dark like midnight blue. Stripes or solid. Plus I realized that I still have the same Eddie Bauer vest that I bought in 1997. Entonces, I am going to get a black North Face vest.
I've seriously spent way too much money at Spot lately.

I think I'm going to blow some dough on a new shirt for Sarah's party. I've always wanted a black North Face vest too. Oh yeah, did I mention that I'm getting a big phat ol' paycheck on Friday? lol. I've been so spendthrifty the past few months, I think I deserve to go blow some cash irresponsibly. I love fucking the most, but spending cash is a close number two. I decided to sideline my Nano scheme and blow the money at the bar the other night. Whats another 200? To hell with it, its time to treat myself... I haven't treated myself since I bought my iPod.
My job function is changing - essentially they are going to give me more responsibility, more authority, and MORE MONEY. Plus benefits, but the downside to that is that I have to pay in to participate. Whatever. I'm going to also be splitting time between Buffalo and the rest of the world more evenly... and to be candid I like the idea. I will essentially be the President's right hand, and if our company blows up (and '06 looks REALLY good for us) then that can lead to even bigger things. I love California and my boss hates it, so my absolute favorite destination is going to remain all mine.
Anyhow, things are looking up!

The Slowest Week Of My Life
On the bright side of things, I got a free roundtrip after 7 weeks of flying Southwest! 8 round trips or 16 one-way trips and you get a free roundtrip to any of 60 destinations. I'm thinking about going to L.A., staying with my friend Jonas there for a couple days, then taking a car up the coast for that famous drive. Then, stay in Seattle for a couple days then come home. Novel idea, traveling on my own time!
I've finally given up on the performance of my iPod - the battery on it is performing miserably, and having tested it for a couple months I'm convinced that it has to go back to the Apple Store. I still have all of the original packaging, the receipt, even the freaking bag that it came in. I'm going to either exchange it, or even better, pay the difference for a black Nano.
I'm sleepwalking through work this week, and I wish I wasn't even here. Its nice to know that at the very least this is the last night I'll be staying here!

Stolen Time
So, Bush made his next appointment today to the Supreme Court. He couldn't have made a worse decision - it was completely illogical, betrayed those who voted him in, and essentially is going to ensure hatred for him from both the left and the right. Don't be surprised when Republicans don't muster the votes needed for this atrocious choice for a candidate and begin lashing out at the President publicly over this.
