Playing California

What a great morning it's been. Hell, what a great week.

I accidentally threw away my registration renewal from the DMV, which had the PIN code, or RIN as they call it, to pay online. Without that, I would have to go into the DMV and pay in person. What a pain, and I can't believe that RIN is even necessary when they have so many other unique identifiers available: social, VIN, license plate number, drivers license number, etc. Anyway, of course I put this off and racked up $60 in late fees. After waiting two hours and reading an entire issue of WIRED, I told them that they had never sent me the form with the RIN and they waived my fees. Cha-ching.

THEN, when I got back to work my new Zune HD was sitting on my desk. So were the books I ordered from Amazon. They weren't supposed to be here until tomorrow at the earliest! I got the Zune because my good old iPod II is totally full now and I want something solely for new music. Also the video is gorgeous.

So tonight I'm going to load it up, give it a listen and read about HTML 5 and Java Script.

Family Weekend

It's always nice having the whole family back together under one roof. Since Darick's been back, we've all been hanging out and cooking like crazy at the house which I love! He's making Tika Masala tonight I think, which I've never had but I know will be good because he's making it. Although everyone in the family cooks except Everett, Darick is the biggest foodie stickler. He always makes ambitious dishes and doesn't fail because he sticks to the recipe. Something my mom can't force herself to do. We already made some vegetarian spaghetti on Wednesday, and I plan on doing pizza Sunday night, possibly at my place. I like being at the house too much though and getting that fuzzy feeling of having a family again. I have mastered three pizzas: thai chicken, BBQ chicken and spinach, tomato and goat cheese. I'm telling you, they're good.

Other than that, we'll probably be at the stadiums the next two weekends for Aztecs and Padres, gonna be sweet. But it's all just anticipation for the Chargers on Monday night. Can't wait.

P.S. New look for Fall, yaya!
