I’m back
Woke up around 8am today at the hotel. Walked across the street for breakfast at McDonalds and then called a cab to take us to the train station. Rode the train bus back to Albany and I’ve done pretty much nothing but listen to podcasts and unpack all day. Speaking of podcasts, Nate and Di are back! They did a short show and it was great. I’m really happy that they’re going to start doing shows again. Listened to more than 4 hours of the Mediocre Show and then an episode of Twisted Pickle. I didn’t listen to any podcasts while I was away so I’m really behind on them all.
Also picked up the mail and stopped by the store for bread and milk. The plants are all alive. I thought 3 weeks without water would kill them, but they look fine aside from a little brown on them. My deadbolt was unlatched and my alarm was turned off. I was thinking the landlord may have stopped by, but the gate was padlocked so they couldn’t have come in the back door. Maybe I just forgot to lock the deadbolt. I can’t explain the alarm, though. There’s no way I forgot to set the alarm. Maybe my shitty Radio Shack alarm system just turns itself off after a few weeks. I really need to spend some money on a real alarm system. Maybe the power went out and reset it. But it’s got a battery backup. Argh, I dunno.
Reorganized office stuff to accommodate some new stuff I brought back with me. Had to adjust shelves to make things fit. I can’t wait for my boxes to arrive in the mail, since I mailed all kinds of good stuff back to myself. My factory car stereo is one thing that’s on its way that’ll be nice to have back. Plus a lot of the kids’ toys that probably cost more to mail than they’re actually worth.
I need to buy a cheap cassette deck. I brought back all these cassette tapes that I want to transfer to mp3 and throw away.
You should try listening to the “Lazlow Show”
If you have ever played the Grand Theft Auto Series, the name should be familiar.
There is a great character known as “Big Wayne” who talks about his life of stealing cars, robbing shoe stores, and doing crack in Queens. Now that’s a role model!

I think he was in Freedom Downtime as well.
Dammit Brad now I’m hooked on Nate and Di…starting from the very start now. I don’t see sleep happening for the next few days now.
Tachyon – I did the same thing when I first started listening to them. They’re a good thing to be hooked on. I don’t know why I like them since I’m not into drugs or politics. I just do.
Dude, change your dead bolt and alarm pass code if you haven’t already.
Try a thrift store for that cassette deck, I got one for 5 bucks the other day.
Sorry Brad, I had to break in for a few things. I didn’t know the code or anything, so I just let the alarm go off for several hours and then got the brilliant idea to go to the circuit breaker and shut it off. I also had to steal the batteries out of it for my wii-mote. Then I invited your neighbors in, and we kind of mildly partied. I made sure to tell them you were away and that they’d better watch your house for you. And I told them the combo to the safe, just in case they needed to retrieve your will or the gold boullion. Hope you don’t mind.
I’m tired, so I’m going to bed now. I’ll post more meaningless comments tomorrow.
