Okie dokie.

I'm do for a blog here and I'm going to update about what's been going on.

First things first, Laura is gone for this coming week and then some. She's coming back next Monday, which is quite a long time. She's out in OK to help her sister move. I already miss her! Kip misses her too I'm sure. He's actually in our bedroom right now just hanging out. A few times today he just went into the room and stared out the window for some reason.

I've been into World of Warcraft again. Good or bad? I think more on the bad side of things because I'm on the computer way too much. I did cancel my CC subscription this month, which means I have until the 19th to play. I'm not sure if I want to stop playing for a little bit or what.

Work has been good. Did some cool video ingesting the last couple of days of this week since the main dude was gone. Time really goes by faster when I don't have anything to do. Hopefully they'll get me doing more stuff soon.

TJ and Ashley's visit here and where they went (camp, FoCo, etc.) was good. We camped the second night they were here and we had a good time. We climbed to the peak (Laura and I) the next morning and took some nice pictures. I should start an online album or something. But yeah, we just hung out, had some fun, we even went to The Melting Pot the first night and splurged on the Big Night Out. Wow, expensive but there was so much food that we couldn't finish it. Otherwise, it was nice to see them again and catch up. They're, if I'm not mistaken, in Chicago now, probably settling in to their new place. It seems everyone (well, except Chris) is moving on with their lives and stuff. Incredible stuff if you ask me. We're what, 23-25 and starting our lives. It's just weird to think of it like that.

I'll sneak this one in here, but the biggest news for this week was probably my present to me and Laura...a 32" LCD TV!!

I think it's a great price for the unit and I've heard some good recommendations about it. It'll be here next Wednesday and I actually ordered a cheapo (but good reviews) new DVD player to go along with it to make full use of it since our current DVD is old as fuck! It's my first (and only) DVD player purchase from, crap, 1997? '98? I don't even remember. Anyway, we're excited as we're going to put it in our bedroom so we can watch movies on it on our bed as we sleep. The best thing about it is that we can finally start making use of the widescreen format. Good thing I've been purchasing WS editions of the DVDs since we started. I knew it'll come in handy some day.

We're what, already halfway through Summer? It's going by so fast. But yeah, I'll leave this one ending here. I'll be back soon. I promise!
