My glasses still have not come in, nearing two weeks now. Could have used them today as I was working on some Python training modules. I did get my new work MacBook Pro today. It will be nice to leave the office on occasion to work on things. It get so cold in here. Spent some time in the garage yesterday making room for the new deep freeze my parents are bringing to use in the next week or two. Got a nice pile of things to take to Salvation Army this weekend. Planning to do some deep cleaning in preperation of my parents visit. 

Played a bit of Shadow of the Colossus HD last night. I was getting a little frustrated trying to make this large jump, but once I got to the Colossus it was fun. I'm wondering if I should find a new hobby. I've dropped so many of the childish hobbies I've had over the past few years. Aside from loving Squirrels and snakes and getting an occasional plush toy of them, I only play games. I feel I should do something that is not electronic in nature. To rest my eyes and hands from my working hours. Allot of my co-workers home brew beer. Perhaps I should look into that.

Getting back into the healthy swing after the semi-binge of food over my birthday weekend. Its amazing that in less then a year my eating habits and health have changed so much. More then halfway to my goal weight now.

So I was bad and bought a laptop this past weekend. I've been looking at getting one for several weeks, but had not found one I liked at the right price. This past weekend Bestbuy had a really nice one on sale and I decided to get it. Its a Core 2 Duo with 4 Gigs of memory, Nvidia 9600 video card with 512 dedicated memory, blu-ray player, 17 inch monitor, and Vista 64 bit Home Premium installed. Its a pretty nice machine.

I'm in week three of having a nasty cough, and its really annoying. The weather in Austin has been great, its a huge change over Oklahoma at this time of year, and may take some getting used to. When we moved down here we noticed a new Chinese place was in the process of opening. It took them a long time, but they finally opened a few weeks ago. Its got all the great food I like, and Jackie likes, and seems to be our new buffet spot when we want Chinese.

I got on Facebook about 3 weeks ago now, and its been quite interesting. Managed to touch base with a number of people I haven't chatted with in ten years or so, as well as some relatives, and other people I know. If you know me, feel free to look me up there.
