Yes, I do.
That’s both a good and bad thing.. I think I think better at night than the day. But then again, I’m booked full of meetings tomorrow morning, so it’s a bad thing.
It just sucks, no matter how you look at it.

It’s now 1:11am, and I’ve been working since 9am this morning.
Not straight; mind you, I was able to have a few breaks inbetween, but it’s days like this that make me wonder why I don’t work at McDonalds.
Oh yeah.. They don’t pay as much as McD’s. Still, it does look like a cush job; you don’t have to worry about anything at work when you go home. Just how you’re going to pay for the car. I guess, at least, you can eat for free (or close to it? I dunno) if you’re broke. So every job has an upside.

Buying a house is fun stuff. It’s nothing like buying a car, for example. And we haven’t even closed yet!
But at least the inspection came back clean on the place.. No major issues found, just some cosmetic stuff we can fix. So that’s cool. Me being the anti-Bob Villa, I’m sure I’ll be confused on how to fix stuff for the first 1 or 10 years.
Apple announced today a few new things. I’ve already got my eye fixed on the Mac-mini. I’m definitely picking one of those up, once we have a little more money. It’s exactly what I wanted: a Mac without a monitor, and without the expensive price tag for the G5. Just a decent Mac, at a decent price. Thanks Steve.

Wow. 2005.
Yeah, another year. One year older, and they say you’re supposed to be one year wiser. I guess it’s a little too earlier to fully tell if that holds true, but I’ll take their word for it.
So, December was quite a month.
First off, we had a quick trip to Disneyland. Not too bad, but man, it was quite crowded. Christmas is a good time to go, though, for all that’s going on. We really enjoyed ourselves, and it was fun going with my Brother and Sister in-laws.
Then, of course, Christmas. Not too bad. Got some nice stuff, and for the first time, we had our family at our house for Christmas. Deep-fried turkey turned out pretty good, good.
Finally, we finally found a house we’re buying. Really nice, and it’s large. The only downside: It’s in Queen Creek. With our family either in the far West side, or in the Metrocenter area, we’re not sure how often we’re going to see them, so that will kind of suck. And then again, I’m no Bob Vila, but I guess I can give it a shot.
The next step, of course, is to actually pack something.
