Goings On

Here's a list of things going on in my life right now, in case you're interested:

1.) Not playing Oblivion. The idiot woman I bought my 360 from on Ebay hasn't shipped it yet, leading me to believe she doesn't have it. The result has been a string of increasingly frustrated emails from me, which she doesn't really respond to. I can only think that this will probably end in EBay arbitration and me getting my money back - a process I've threatened to start tomorrow - and her getting the nastiest negative feedback I can post on ebay.

2.) Play lacrosse. As the indoor league winds down, I've started playing outdoor with none other than Dave Richardson. We had our first game last week, and it was a blast, although we lost by a few points.

3.) Finishing big projects. I finished a big project here at work yesterday. It was a follow up to the big project I finished in January and had been working on for the past 2 years. And judging by the results of my annual review, I think I can expect to go another year before Raytheon considers me more than an entry level employee.

4.) Watching 24. My brother brought it back during his spring break and we're just over half way through the first season. It's addictive and entrancing, and leaves you wondering just how many gun fights YOU could survive in 24 hours. So far Jack Bauer's been through 5, but it's only 3 in the afternoon.

And in case you were interested, here's how the blogs rank by posts for the month of March. As usual, Erica has a huge lead, and Evan hasn't posted a damn thing.

You've still got three days, so get crackin'.

In other news, let's all thank Italy for doing their part to stand up against ridiculous intolerant religious extremism, and also for inventing pizza and stealing noodles from the Chinese.
