It’s been a long, fun day. Amy and I drove to the coast, stopping in San Jose for ramen, curry, and custard-filled baked goods. Then we went to Aptos to see the beached ruin of a concrete ship, then to the Santa Cruz Boardwalk. Also, I bought a lamp.
To quote Vonnegut: If this isn’t nice, I don’t know what is.

Okay, so it was bound to happen eventually. It’s still under warranty, Microsoft will replace it, blah blah blah. Unfortunately, tomorrow is the day that I’m scheduled to get my new hard drive for it, and of course Phil finally gets his XBox online sometime this week. Looks like now I’m the one waiting. Grrr….

I won $3 from Friday’s Mega-Millions drawing. I invested $1.25 in ice cream, and I figure I’ll squander the rest on hookers and blow.
