Friday work wasn't too interesting. Mainly just routine stuff, although it feels like I talked to people more about stuff that's going to happen rather than actually doing stuff. I guess that's probably better than guessing and having to change it later. Somewhere along the line the BSSD printing project somehow was just sorta set aside and got rediscovered when it became time to add machines to it. And then replacing stolen computers when the previous ones were just sorta tweaked over time... After work though had a bunch of people over for movie night. We took forever to get started since brooke distracted JoeBuck and he was supposed to get the movie. Thousands of miles away but still causing trouble... We also were trying to figure out pizza and had someone ditch out (although that was for good reason). First movie on the list was A Mighty Wind which is pretty funny, but you have to be expecting it. After that a couple people left and we pulled out the laserdisc of The Empire Strikes Back at Dave's urging. Of course Paul decided to fall asleep and try and keep his record of never having watched a full Star Wars movie. I think it's time to kick him out of the computer geek club or something. Saturday slept in a bit, but not enough. Checked email and stuff and did nothing for a bit. Apparently some idiot(s) decided to make a makeshift bomb and put it in a reshall. Actually the description sorta sounds like they may have been trying to do something else and didn't realised it'd blow if they capped it, but like I said idiots. Hopefully this won't turn into something like last year. Continued the series I've been doing and watched Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. After that went shopping to use my BestBuy money from Christmas. Picked up a few DVDs and another case to store some in since I've gone past the current wallets I have. I decided to abandon the idea of buying the 40 DVD wallets and adding extra pages since they're pricy and I've already filled 2 in the past year. I bought a case without the DVD cover inserts but that holds 128 as is for half the price of just the 40 DVD one. Hopefully that'll hold me for a bit. Unfortunately on my way out I noticed a live U2 DVD, so that got added to the stack of stuff to buy too. Hard to not justify U2 though. I had hoped to poke around a bit with the Digital Rebel since I've sorta been considering buying one, but unfortunately they didn't have any out and I was sorta rushed for time. From there picked up my sister and brought her back to my parents' house for some game at the high school. I swapped out my DVD burner from my dad's machine and put a DVD-ROM drive in for now. Finally got that thing back. Somewhere along the line we got talking about cameras and spent a long time looking at the Canon EF lenses. They have one that I really like (EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM) but at around $500 probably wouldn't get that very soon, especially after buying the Rebel. I wasn't really even considering buying the camera until late spring or early summer, but it looks like I may end up going on a vacation in March so I hope the price drops a bit in the next month or so (hoping for below $900 with the EF-S lens). Time to start really looking at the reviews and specs. While I was home my mom finished sewing up a bunch of material I'm gonna use as a curtain across the screen wall downstairs, so maybe I'll hang that up tomorrow. That'll hopefully block out the remaining light from the window and also cut the light in general at the front of the room during movies. I also grabbed a Verizon phone so I can evaluate the coverage throughout my house better. I'm thinking of switching my phone over soon, maybe another task for tomorrow. After I got home I watched Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. Now I'm writing this, defending my lack of posts on Fridays, and thinking I should probably go to bed soon, but will probably read tech manuals some...
