It’s the end of the day, I just finished a project and I need to kill a bit of time before I can get out of here. Got another…oh, I’d say 10-15 minutes on the clock before I can bug out. Let’s see, first order of business will be to get some eats. Then watch the Voyager episode I’ve been saving up for the Friday night geek-fest extraordinaire, as per usual. Then tomorrow it’s Buy A Car Day™. Hopefully that all goes well. It’ll be fun having a new car in the house, one that we’ll actually own and can be proud of! Time to order some more Zaino polish, come to think of it!

Next week—August 3rd, to be precise—is the infamous release day for both Doom 3 and the first season Knight Rider DVD boxed set. Obviously, I’ll be picking both up the instant they arrive. I’ve also submitted a request to take Monday the 9th off, so I can get the windows tinted in the Mazda, as well as spend still more time hacking away at the computer games, hehe. We’re actually going down to the mall on Sunday so I’ll stop in the game store and see what’s the earliest time I can pick up Doom 3. In 1994, I got Doom 2 almost a week ahead of the release date from Babbages (at Fairlane I think), but I doubt that will happen again. That was some kind of abberation, surely.

Okay, why haven’t ten minutes gone by yet? I want to get out of here. This week has been painfully, torturously long. But by the start of next week all the car hoopla should fiiiinally be over. I can’t wait. Speaking of car, now I feel more sure than ever that I want to remove the pinstripes down the side of the Mazda6. The silver tape just doesn’t look right on a dark gray car with a black interior; the silver isn’t picking up anything about the design. If it had a gray interior, it might be better. But I’ve never been a big fan of pinstripes anyway. (Now LeMans stripes, that’s another matter…heh.)
