I really dispise the way Comcast operates, I called Saturday to find out the price of getting hooked up again and said I’d call back to make an appointment. (I didn’t) and yesterday morning at 8:30 the tech comes to install it. Being that I was home and had some time I had him install it anyways. Long story short, Comcast sucks, but they’re my ISP again.

A couple weeks ago I picked up a camera (Nikon Coolpix 2100) at Circuit City because I was going to Seattle to watch the Vikings’ last pre-season game, and went to see the Space Needle, etc. Check out some of the pictures I took (including one of my nephew, Ben and his sisters). I won’t mention the score, which may be an indication of who won 🙁 . Anyways, I decided I probably couldn’t afford the camera and returned it last night.

Then this past Sunday I went to Good Times bar to watch the regular season kick-off where the Vikings beat up the Cowboys 35-17. Food is expensive there, I paid over $10 for a burger with fries and a beer. I don’t think I’ll be eating during all the games I go to there. Next Monday night the Vikings take on the Eagles in Philly.

I’m at work and just had a caller who got an error message of “not enough memory to print” so, naturally, I told him to restart the computer. Then the computer proceded to tell him…. “There is not enough memory to complete that command!”

Not enough memory to restart, how lovely. And might I add… WTF?! 🙂

PS. my summer vacation is over and I’m back at work in Eugene. School starts at the end of September.

Bender: 14 days and counting, doubt it’ll continue past 15, but it’s been a good run.

Went up to Fortune(less) Bay last night with Katie and her mom and I broke even *again*. I just want to win one of these times dammit!! Sadly, Katie and her family are moving so they won’t be right next door when I come home to visit. I’ve known their family forever and plan to keep in touch and hook up with them any time I’m in the area for any extended period of time.

My summer vacation is coming to a rapid close, and I didn’t get to do everything I wanted to, though I had an excellent time. Made some friends (Mike, Lauren, Kristen, Danielle, etc), drank LOTS, skied a bunch, got to two concerts (Warped Tour and Fear Factory), met my nephew Ben, learned how to play poker and D&D to some extents, and all kinds of other happenings. Didn’t make it to any waterski tournies 🙁 (I blame Joel), missed one concert I wanted to see, and never made it to the Leinies brew house. Ah well, just further incentive to come back next year, right? Yeesh, and the last 2 nights I’ve had to build fires in the fireplace at the cabin here, brrrrrrr.

Tomorrow my nephew, Ben, gets baptized, I have to promptly finish packing, I want to see Katie’s family’s new apartment at some point, and I have a couple other errands to run around town. Should be a busy (though hopefully a productive) day.

Saturday morning we head westward, getting to Boise sometime Sunday, and I’ll be heading home to Oregon within a couple days to get back to my job. I know my blogging has been sporadic all summer, but just so you know, I most likely won’t post again until after I have an internet connection again. [And on a related note, Comcast is fucking stupid. I’ve gotten 3 statements from them in the mail now saying I owe $94.77 or some ridiculous amount of money and I’ve called after each occurance and have been told they owe me $1.29 or something.. get your shit together!!]
