PS3 me

Yep, I should be getting my brand-spankin’ new Playstation 3 in the mail within the next two weeks or so. If it wasn’t for work keeping me busy lately, I’d probably be even more excited than I am. The total expenses including the system, games, cords, random accessories and shipping should be about $1200 in total. While that might sound kind of steep to most (it really isn’t), I’m pretty sure it will pay for itself within a few months or so. Once I get my hands on it, I’ll post some pictures of it for people to drool over.

Now that writing about one of the more exciting things going on for me is over (yes, I know, whatever), I can elaborate on more of the details of my mundane life…

Work has been pretty hectic lately. Not so much in the sense of staying late, but rather the amount of stuff I do while I am there. I am usually juggling 3 or 4 projects at once along with a series of other smaller side things all while trying to learn another side of our business. The programs I’m using are pretty interesting and the level of expectation from me is getting pretty high. I guess I’m pretty happy I finally have a job that challenges me somewhat.

I also set a date for my brother’s trip out to visit me. He should be here for about 3 weeks or so from mid-July or so and I’m looking forward to him coming out here again. Though it might be the last time I get to see him for 3-5 years, I’m really proud of him finally taking some initiative to change his own life’s direction and join the Navy. While I’m not sure where he will be stationed, it would be pretty cool if he could get out to Korea once in a while. Either way, I’m sure we will enjoy the 3 short weeks he is here. Prepare yourself bro.

Other than all of this, I really don’t have anything else going on lately. I hope to post some pictures and videos on here soon for people to enjoy. Perhaps I will over the weekend when I have more time.

Off to the gym with me…

Damn - the days of me being willing to drop that kind of skrill on games are long past. You say 1200USD, all I see a plane ticket to somewhere far, far away for a week or 2.

You should have got a Wii. ;P

Nice.

I thought the days of calling money "skrill" were long past as well. :P

I might start using that again now actually...

I guess I will never grow out of video games. I don't consider it a curse as much as a way to keep me out of trouble. I'd rather be unproductive than productive in a negative way I guess. Plus, I don't have the vacation time to be able to spend money on plane tickets to go anywhere for a week or two. Gotta spend the money somehow right?

Oh, and I plan on getting a Wii eventually too...

yes- words are awesome... especially when you remember them 10 years later and use them totally out of the blue when people least expect them. ;P
