Hi all,
So yeah, we were just finding a place to stay for the 1st and 2nd for our 5th anniversary vacation and I finally bit and tried Priceline again. After a first few failed attempts about a month ago to get a 4-star in the $60-$70 range, I decided to do it again for $75 and guess what? Yes, we got an accepted offer! The thing is , my bid of $75 was accepted by a crappy 3-star in the ghetto of downtown Denver...WTF!!!!!
...okay, so I was kidding on that last part. The offer was accepted at the Grand Hyatt in downtown Denver and that was actually one of the places that I saw in our choices of places to stay. It was $149 on their website and that's the cheapest I could find, so yeah, it's a great fricken deal. I love Priceline now (but only when you KNOW what hotels are in your bid area). In this case, I knew that the only 4-star hotels in the downtown area were the Grand Hyatt, Hyatt Regency, and the uber expensive places like Hotel Teatro, Brown Palace, etc.
But yeah, if you ever want to stay a great place and you know the choice of hotels in the area, you should give Priceline a shot.
And yes, soon I'll be revealing a new website of mine that I've been working on...actually it only took like a night, but you know. Stay tuned!
Other than that, this week is going by quite fast, faster than usual at least. I'll be back sometime soon!
T.J. > Write a fricken blog!!!!! The one you sent me will do. Although I've read it already, I'm sure others will like to read it as well. You have less than one month to do this, or else...

So I saw this website a couple of weeks ago, maybe a month ago, whatever. It's where this guy took a picture every day for a year and he kept it up. And so I got to thinking (back then) and then I started to think about it again.
I'm wondering if I could actually do it. I mean, taking a picture a day isn't hard, but to make each picture meaningful is hard. I don't know. I'm thinking about it. Maybe I'll start on the 1st of January and take a picture a day, but maybe I'll start the 1st of December...
I think it would be a really cool experience if I can actually pull it off. No excuses like blogging, that's for sure! Now wouldn't it be cool if I could take one for the rest of my life, lol.
Anyway, I'll keep you guys updated on whether or not I do this and how I would keep it organized if I do, because I'm sure in a year, a lot of things will change so I have to find a place that won't...maybe Google's online picture thing...we'll see.

Yup, officially over a month, dammit! Anyway, what's been up man? A lot, well, not too much, has been happening in the city of Laramie. My job is going ok. Just been busy and lots of things going on. I got hired as an administrative assistant, but I'm doing so much more, it's crazy. They seem to be giving me more stuff to do too, I don't know why. Maybe I'll switch positions soon or something. Oh well.
Finally got this song/instrumental that I wanted for the last week or so. I've been stream-ripping the radio station for like 5 days straight and it finally ripped. I'm charging my iPod so I can listen to it as I go to sleep here in a little bit.
Laura left today for Chicago, so it's a bit lonely/empty in the house. Played a little WoW and surfed a bit, nothing too big. I might go down to Fort Collins this weekend to escape the boredom. We'll see.
So yeah, our 5th year anniversary is coming up in about 2 weeks! We've got a weekend planned actually and I think it's going to be fun. We're going to be staying in Denver on Friday and Saturday. We still need to find a place to stay both nights, but, yeah. I've actually been trying Priceline to get a good deal on some 3 and 4 star hotels, but none so far. We were trying to get the Adam's Mark hotel, but we might be just going with the straight hotel price somewhere cheaper. I'll keep you updated. But yeah, I can't believe it's been 5 years already. That's a fricken long time.
In a few days the Nintendo Wii is going to be launching and with it the new Zelda game. Woot!! Hopefully I'll get it soon. Some of my work friends are also getting excited about it, it's kinda funny to talk about the Wii at work. Comforting to know that there are similar people like me though.
My Cranes organization is on stall right now until I find time to get my employer id number. Once I do that I can open a bank account and get my shit going. There's actually a lot of stuff to do and it's time consuming, but hopefully in the end, it'll feel good to do something like this for a change.
Kip is on our bed right now just chillin', probably waiting for me to get to bed. He's been doing good lately about staying off the bed until we let him on it in the morning. ALTHOUGH, today when I was playing WoW for a little bit, he was all quiet downstairs, so I when down there and I knew he was doing something bad. He was all sad looking because he knew too. He had drank the rest of my aux jous that I had for lunch. I scolded him good. Oh well, I don't think he's sick or anything. We'll see tonight. :P
But yeah, I should get going. I'm tired since I haven't been sleeping so well the last couple of nights. I wonder why. Well, I'll talk to you later! I love you Laura and miss ya already.
