Barb and askye, my dad tells me that the Wisconsin game was oddly subdued because the entire band has been suspended.

I was watching part of that game and wondered why it seemed so quiet.

Biggest mistake people tend to make is thinking that bands are full of laid back introverted geeks.

Oh, and Cash, did you know that the genesis of the Marching Chiefs is all in OSU band traditions? All of our original band directors came from OSU.

So true.

I kindda envy you all right now, with the cheap glasses thing.

My prescription costs about 565$, after discount, according to today's rate. Then again, I have 6 different things that are wrong with my eyesight, and mending them all together is some kind of miracle to me.

So, everytime I think I have to change me prescription? Horrors. To my bank account.

This year is the year I figure that LASIK has paid for itself.

So glad I was a good candidate and had a flawless procedure.

I'm betting no, but should check it out.

Harvey Keitel should make it worth a shot.

My new laptop was made in China. I just noticed this in one of the manuals:

Ensure that the battery is probably locked into place.

Huh. I had just gone ahead and made sure the battery was definitely locked into place. Maybe I should remove it and install it again, this time with my eyes closed?

Well, here I am at the law firm. Our 11:00 client still hasn't shown up, and I've got all my voice mail messages picked up and delivered to the lawyer, all my forms copied and ready to hand out to the clients, and my own e-mail sorted through and deleted (mostly spam). Now I get to play on the internets and read my book until we start getting people to show up for their appointments!

I was watching my Spaced dvds again last night. Now I want to greet clients with "Oi, oi!" and "You lucky people...", ala Tyres.

I am mildly bummed- I had seen this bag [link] on the B&N website, but they were out of it. Went to my two local B&N stores to look for it, they said they never got any in (which I can believe, since I go to both fairly often and hadn't seen them with the rest of the SCAD items on display).

I really like this bag-- I gave my sister my old microfiber tote so she could carry her laptop and I figured I'd just use my backpack, but it would be nice to have a tote to throw it into when I want to run up to the bookstore to work or whatever. Plus, it was pretty and different.

Any suggestions where I might look for some unique tote/messenger bags?

I have no idea, barb. Although I would be interested. (although I get a journal at that link, which is very pretty.)

My cat is sitting in my lap for the first time ever. I got her in may! She sits next to me, and on my if I am laying down, but has never sat in my lap. I think it is because the apartment is cold.
