Just one look at my crazed nerdiness ought to be enough.

Yep, who needs muscle. We've got crazy people!

Ken, if you get a pair of those purple boots, no one will doubt your craziness. Mike, we're getting you that Teres!

I'll wear them if one of those rich lawyers will buy them. Size 9 please.

I'm suddenly feeling a strange urge to go out and buy some purple gurly-shoes

god damn those are ugly.

Yeah, Timberland has some funky shit (they also made those other ones that y'all thought were fugly/Matrix-y/Borg-y). Melikey.

After some Educator's discount and gift card, a new MacBook.

nice. specs please?

2.2 GHz Core 2 Duo w/ 1gb RAM and 120gb HD. Would have gone for the base model, but wanted the Superdrive with this one.

Oh, and it's the white one - wasn't about to pay $200 extra just for the color and 40gb extra HD space.

Glossy or non-glossy?

I take it you're talking about the screen? Glossy, MacBook doesn't have any option.

Haj did you get a teacher discount for the Macbook? My friend got some insane discount through his mom (music teacher), I believe he got the baseline Macbook ($1100) model for something like $600 or $700 new. And he got the free Nano through that promotion that was going on.

My discount is not that great, since I bought it personally. I believe if you can buy it through your school that was such agreement with Apple, the discount is much greater - sort of like a work discount some folks in tech field gets. That wasn't an option for me since my school doesn't have any extra agreement with Apple.

Civilization 4 for my housemate (birthday present), Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance (for me) ...and a cord of firewood.

Breakfast:

3 Eggs, scrambled, a half order of sausage, half order of bacon and one English muffin, lightly buttered. Washed down with a nice coffee, cream and two sugars.

It was tasty.

The name of the place, B&O espresso. Seattle. A quaint little place just off Broadway in the Bohemian quarter. The weather, overcast, cold and rainy.

Owens-Corning fiberglass insulation, platic drop cloths, electrical tape, dog food, cat litter, frozen navy bean and beef vegetable soups.

All set for a party!

Comus - Song to Comus (The Complete Collection) double CD

I picked up their LP First Utterance last year and it was one of my favorite music purchases of '07. So I can't wait to hear the out takes, bonus tracks and a whole second disc of new music. It's a UK import and I got it for half what it normally sells for

Starcraft Board Game

It's fucking sickkkkkkk.

Just bought a new resonator pipe/muffler and rear brake calipers for my car.

*sigh*

I hate car repairs.

Starcraft Board Game

It's seriously awesome. I'm close to saying it's better than the computer game.

The strategy involved is ridiculous.

I was pretty impressed when I got home Saturday evening and opened the box. There's 180 pieces (rubber units, flying units are on plastic stands), pretty detailed and generally pretty cool looking. It's something like, 9 Zerglings, 6 Hydralisks, 3 Mutalisks, 3 x, 3 y, 3 z, 6 Marins, 3 a, 3 b, 3 c, 6 Zealots, 3 p, 3 o, etc. etc.. Of the 180, 3 flying units came broken, 2 Battlecruisers and 1 Scout, but they're broken at the joint between the rubber unit and the plastic stand, so I'm just going to glue it. I'll also call the manufacturer as I hear they just send you replacement pieces if you call and tell them they came broken. I'll ask while I'm at it for 1 of every unit so I can paint them for fun.

Pwned.

ohh that looks sweet!!!
