Well, it looks like we won't be getting our badass new laptops for Xmas. I'm bummed, but what can you do? Medical emergencies come before material lusts. I am getting a new scanner, though.

My current desktop.

I was supposed to shuttle some trucks around town today, but the customer rescheduled for tomorrow. Since I have the day off I *should* be shopping, but I can't seem to drag myself out to the stores.

Iced coffee. No finer highly caffeinated, non-carbonated beverage exists.

A little over a month ago we went antiquing with Zack's mom & sis Kris. I scored four new goblets for $.50 each in an Austin antique mall. And in Salado I found an old communion set... two chalices, six shotglasses (or as Z calls them, "gobletlets"), and the tray... all for $20. I was ecstatic. I haven't polished them up yet. They're kind of charming the way they are:

I took this IQ test today. (Borrowed from Raspil's site.) I scored a 157, which places me three points below Bill Gates and 17 above Madonna. I told Jim about the test and he scored a 137. "I was cheated!" he proclaimed. He was quiet for several minutes and then he came back to announce he'd scored a 170. I told him he couldn't go back and take the test AGAIN because that was cheating. Jim: "If they didn't want me to cheat they should have changed the questions. Dumbasses."

I love my friends.
