i'm treking to woodbury after work to see a rebel xt body for $290. apparently he's a pro selling his backup. thanks, craigslist! or it's a bait and i could be jumped and robbed, i dunno. if you don't hear from me on monday, please avenge my death.

i just renewed my passport and it came with RFID chip. not sure how i feel about it...i should trust that the folks in charge have done their due diligence, but new technology, man!

i'll be in thailand the last week of this month, btw. not looking forward to the long ass flight!

mm..i do like these yoplait thick & creamy yogurt! they're even better than the whips ones. what i don't like is the non-recyclable packaging. what's a boy to do ( Read more... )

yesterday i got a missed call that showed on my phone as being from bermuda. weird enough because i don't know anyone in bermuda. then that number called again and curiosity got the best of me. i answered and guessed that the caller is thai because she was looking for "nok" -- a common thai nickname (it means bird) -- and she had that generic thai ( Read more... )

$500 for good-as-new rebel xt with kit lens, extra battery ($50), 1gb cf card ($20), and a nice canon bag ($35). not a bad deal, no?

i think i'll get this 28-135mm lens. good ranges, ultra sonic motor, and image stabilization for $400. that should be good enough for wedding photos. i also thought about this 70-200mm L lens. it's huge but cool ( Read more... )

i was wondering why there was $120 from FSA deposited to my account. turns out my insurance ("now with higher premium and copay!") doesn't cover all of anesthesia and surgery involved in my procedure. so goodbye, FSA 2008...and we're not even out of january yet!

hmph.

and for good news, rambo ROCKS. HARD. DAMN.

$600, eh?

i may just stimulate the economy (and my tv) with a ps3! metal gear solid 4 should be coming out around the time that check arrive...

fuck, this is brilliant.

cor, i just found out that the new sti -- one of my potential car replacements/upgrades -- comes with a $36k price tag! ($40k with nav and bbs wheels! and you can't get nav without the wheels! outrageous! insert superfluous usage of exclamation marks here!) i must admit the price is a little out of my range...unless they're giving me 100% raise ( Read more... )
