Journal glh's Journal: Updates 3
I decided to do the responsible thing and not go to see Star Wars opening night. I have to leave the house at 4am for the airport, and have a meeting that day from 8am-11pm at night. It wouldn't be good for me to be nodding off in the meeting. My strategy is to avoid all spoilers until Saturday and go see an afternoon showing to hopefully avoid the crowds. Hopefully that'll work out...
In house news, not much new has happened since last week. The painters are still not finished painting- they haven't been out since Saturday. I'm hoping they don't drag on too much longer. I have also been trying to find out about concrete. I got two estimates and they were within $200. The cheaper one actually has a better finish (a swirl) on it. However, the other company said they may be able to match the price- and by contract, they have to pour our sidewalk and porch which is included. Since I don't really want two different types of concrete I think I'll go with the original one even though it may be a little more.
I'm just hoping we are in there by end of month next month. Living at the in-laws isn't too bad but I'll be glad when we are moved. This weekend after a long business trip my father-in-law wants me to help him jack up his deck so he can put in a new pool liner. Not looking forward to that... No rest for the weary this weekend.
Have been getting excited about Xbox 360. It looks like it will be a great system especially since some of the games will be backwards compatible. However, I'm the type of person that will play only one game at a time (such as Halo 2) so chances are it will just be my halo gaming system. Also, I will most likely use it as a media center extender since I am running MCE. Well worth the money...
To everyone else going to see Episode 3 tonight, enjoy.. and PLEASE don't tell me about it
