Well, today (monday) was very uneventful… which is a welcome surprise. I did absolutely nothing today. I sat in bed until 11, got up, ate lunch, showered, played bejweled, tried to fix some LAN network stuffage, watched Twister on DVD, ate dinner, took a nap, played some Diablo II and then watched JunkYard Wars on TV. I took some time to completely relax and just hangout. I think I needed it. Tomorrow (tues) it’s back to the grind and I’m closing the store. It’s also release day for some new Pokemon game… yippee… (could you feel the sarcasm?). This means that I have to deal with screaming 8 year olds all day. Oh joyous day! Hey, it’s not like its hard work though, which is good. I think I might pick up a copy of “No One Lives Forever”, a cheesy Bond/Austin Powers spy game. I’ve been playing the demo and it’s actually rather fun. It came out last year so I think the price is down to about $20. Well worth the price for a few hours of fun. Well, I’m not sure whatelse to mention… I took a nap today, so I’m not tired at all. Thats probably not good since I need to sleep because I’m working tomorrow. Oh, I also picked up a few new CDs. I don’t remember what I mentioned that I picked up last time so I’m just going to mention what I’ve picked up this month… so far I’ve picked up: Darren Emerson: GU20, Seb Fontaine: Prototype 4, Seb Fontaine: Resident @ Creme, Sasha: GU09 and Sander Kleinenberg: Nubreed GU. Incase you were wondering “GU” stands for Global Underground. A great series of double sets put out by the “Boxed” label. But theres only about 3 more CDs I want this summer, so my tempory music binge should be nearing an end. Whatever. I’m gonna try and sleep now I suppose. Later.
Current Mood: Good

Well, today (sunday) was fun, I took some time and went around to shoot some photos. I got some good stuff from around the area. I hope to make it up to the mountains this week. Maybe Wednesday or Friday. Though, this is the first Friday I’ve had off in a while and I’ll probably end up seeing a movie with the boys. Also, theres some better news about the whole car situation. My grandparents are going to give me their old car since they’ve recently purchased a new one. So, I plan on taking the cash from the insurance to fix up this car or maybe put it towards a newer one on a trade in. We’ll see. At any rate, that will hopefully leave me a little extra for rent which in turn might leave me a little extra for other things. I’m also planning on buying Chris’ GeForce 2 off him for a reasonable price so that should temporarily qwench my upgrade thurst. Tomorrow (monday) I fortunatly also have the day off. I’m not quite sure yet what I’ll do, but theres a good chance that I’ll go running or maybe hit the gym with my brother in the morning, but probably just kick back and relax all afternoon. I also got to talk to my wonderful girlfriend last night. That always makes me happy since I always sleep better after talking to her. I can’t wait for September. Its always hard to leave one place and one set of friends for a long period of time, but with everything thats been going on I can honestly say that I can’t wait for summer to be over. I’ve got a girlfriend to see and a nice clean spacious apartment to go back to. (it is still clean, right pete? …just pokin’ atcha) Anyway, I’m going to bed. I don’t know why but today was very tiring. Later.
Current Mood: Tired and good

*sniffle*sniffle*… bye bye Newburys. We’ll miss you. Anyway, I’m still a tad displeased about losing my favorite music store. Aparently Chris is even more grief stricken than I. At any rate, I’m done working for the weekend and don’t have to work again until Tuesday. I think I’m either going to drive around here (the local area) and take pictures or drive up north into the mountains. We’ll see what I feel like when I wake up. I was going to see what either Chris or Chip were up to and if they might feel like tagging along. Chip’s probably busy hanging out with Andrea and Chris is probably busy hanging out with Jeff. But thats ok, I enjoy getting to wonder off and explore on my own. Still, it would have been nice to get some company. Whatever. Well, theres really not much more to say. Work was, well, just work. I miss Lauren. I’m bored and tired. I always have no money. I’m kicking myself daily for not getting a good job. New Hampshire has again styfled my creativity and I haven’t written a word in 2 months. My summer has sucked. My friends always work when I have free time and I always work when they have free time. I have no car. My radio was stolen. And I’m completely ready to go back to Savannah and forget that this stupid summer ever took place. *sigh* Oh well. Sorry bout that. I just needed to get some bitching off my chest. I feel better now. Honestly. Whatever, I’m just rambling at this point. It’s late and I’m going to bed. I honestly don’t feel as bad as it seems. I’m actually doing ok despite the obvious. Anyway, tomorrow (today) is Sunday and I get to take picture and hear Laurens voice (she’s calling tonight) two of my favorite things in the world. So, to bed I go. When I wake up, I’ll figure out what I feel like doing. Later.
Current mood: Odd.

Break out the black arm bands, we’ve lost a friend. Last night I got word from Chip that the Newbury Comics on DWH in Nashua has closed its doors. The rumor is that NC wants to get into the clothing biz and that they’ll be opening two stores, one in Boston and one in Nashua. Yes, Newbury Comics, a wonderful store, always filled with music and, well, music. Lets face it, a store that sells new CDs for $10.88 and most regular CDs for under 12 bucks is an awesome thing. Seriously, places like Sam Goodie, Record Town, HMV and Strawberries have always jacked up their prices, charging sometimes $18 for a CD, but not Newburys. I can honestly say that that store is (was) the source of 95% of my CD collection. And now its gone. My friends, this is a dark day indeed. Thank goodness theres a NC in Manchester. Other than that we’d have to start making trips deep into Mass. in order to get some good music. Dang, well, after that crappy news, I’ve got to go to work, I’ll catch you guys… Later.
Current Mood: Wanting music…*sniffle* 
But generally happy

One down, one to go. Days that is… Well, word is in that Max Payne is pretty cool. To bad I can’t play it. Oh well… maybe if I get those upgrades… maybe I get those upgrades when I win the lotto… maybe I’ll play the lotto when I have time… whatever. Work was mildly interesting today. Lots of customers, the usually stuff. Gotta close tomorrow as well. At least then I get a few days off. Ok, sleepy time. Later.
Current Mood: Sleepy
