Today was a good day.
Work is going better and better. I think I'll be doing pretty well this week in terms of sites completed, so that means a decent check next Friday. Went to lunch with Chris and Sarah like usual, today being Red Robin. Good burgers.
After work Chris and I headed over to Mandalay Bay to see the KMFDM show at House of Blues. Saw a lot of people there, most of which everyone but me knew. Aaron, Ki, Brian, and Kristyn were there too. Met Pouncy for the first time. Interesting fellow. Met some other people too but dont recall their names or anything else. Bile opened up the show 15 minutes early and only played for about 25 minutes. So Aaron and Ki missed most of them. Then after about 35 minutes KMFDM played a long ass set alongside Pig. They covered alot of the WWIII material and the show was pretty good. KMFDM uses some of the best onstage videos and they have alot of energy. It didn't seem loud at the time, but my ears are still ringing from the show that ended over 3 hours ago. I've never been that hard of hearing following a show. But it was good, definetly worth it. Too bad the shirts were like $30 or I would have bought one. Fortunately enough I ordered the one I wanted an hour ago for only $17. Granted it wont be here for probably a week, but its $13 more in my pocket.
Brian of course left his lights on during the concert. So we all gathered around his car while Chris jumped it. Then Chris, along with Pouncy, dropped me off.
Ears still ringing, I logged into my env science class and took my 3rd test. Scored a 92. Go me.
Just logged into my Wells Fargo account to see what I have charged on my credit card and I noticed my available balance was higher. So I checked out my account details and my limit on this card was bumped from 800 to 1100. Neato.
Now I sleep.

Hot fucking damn! They are creating an original 4 hour miniseries to resolve the ending of the scifi series Farscape. I loved that show and was so disappointed with the way it ended.
Then there is the Firefly dvd coming out with 2 unaired episodes, the Two Towers extended edition, and the scifi miniseries for Battlestar Gallactica. Should be some interesting stuff to watch.
I'm done.

Work finished up better then I thought this week. I think I ended up hitting 10 sites, which seems to be pretty good for a first real week of work.
Friday I stuck around a little bit longer talking with Chris and Sarah. Chris and I ended up heading over to Best Buy while we waited for Aaron to do a side project for one of the judges. We looked primarily at headphones and xbox stuff. I ended up just buying a replacement headset for my Xbox Live and a new Xbox controller. Aaron met us at Best Buy and we split for Outback down the street. Good food. We're under the impression the waitress wanted to get drilled by the 3 of us. Wierd.
Following food I went to my house to get my Xbox gear, Chris went to his house to do the same, and Aaron went to his house. I got to Aaron's and we left to pickup Ki. When Chris got there Aaron took Ki home. Scott arrived and Aaron returned, and we played Halo for a few hours. Prior to playing Aaron's sister made some gross comments about how she was drinking Chris.
I purchased a subscription to the Xbox magazine to checkout the demos and stuff. I registered on Gamefly, which is essentially a Netflix for video games.
Saturday James and I watched the Michigan/Northwestern game and went to Nikki Lees to eat. Watched Master and Commander... at Green Valley Ranch. Pretty good movie, much better then the trailers made it out to be. Then we rented "The Good Thief" and "Ordinary Decent Criminal". The weekend was all about movies that exceeded whatever expectations I had. Good Thief was interesting and Nick Nolte was good. Ordinary Decent Criminal I really liked, although I'm not entirely sure why. Kevin Spacey was insane in a wierd way. Got home and recieved my first queued game from Gamefly--ESPN NHL Hockey. Played it a bit. Decent enough, although I have none of the other latest versions of the games to test it against.
Sunday of course was NFL football. Cardinals and Lions both got their asses whooped. Not much went well today in relation to football. Went to Walmart and bought some toothpaste and a new electric razor. I saw one on Amazon that was down from $180 to $140, and Walmart happened to have it for $105. I hadn't planned on buying it, but I figured what the hell. I'm sure I'll regret it later. It's a spiffy Braun auto-cleaning special fancy shmancy one.
Time to finish a few more sets of keywords up for work and go to bed.
