Excitement abounds in my life. I say that extremely sarcastically, because the top two items on my thought list this morning are:
+ This 9/80 schedule is going to kill me. I have been at work at 8:00 the past three days, and I’m exhausted because of it. Oddly, the morning seems a lot longer when I have to wait at least three hours for lunch, instead of two.
+ I’ve spent a solid hour now burning data to DVDs in order to clear enough space on my hard drive to defrag it. Yes, apparently you need 15% of the drive space free to defrag. Which brings up the whole other complaint that our computers are crappy. We get new computers every three years, which would be ok if we got top-of-the-line machines when we’re refreshed, but we don’t. I get refreshed in August, which means I’m using a computer I got in 2003. It has 256 MB of RAM. 256! And only a 40GB hard drive. When some of my sims can generate 3-4GB of data all on their own, a 40GB hard drive causes a constant headache.
Can you feel the excitement?
Jen, Gavin and I went to the Astros game last night and thus saw the second squeaker of the week as they escaped the Marlins 6-5. They scored all 6 runs in the first two innings and then did nothing the rest of the game except hang on by their teeth. Over the three-game series, the Marlins outscored the ‘Stros 16-9, yet we left with a 2-1 record. Hey, I’ll take it. The stadium was surprising empty — only 26,000 or so. I saw Jessica again, which marks the second time in four days that I’ve randomly run into her at a Houston sporting event! First soccer, now baseball. We must be stalking each other.
I’m embarassed by Becca and Barbara’s comments yesterday that I should let them know what music I’m listening to, especially because Gavin and Jen did not appear to be fans in the car last night. So instead, I’ll point you to an internet radio station that Matt told me about last week: Radio Paradise. It’s free, and pretty good more of the time.

Actually, what was the CD you were listening to in the car on the drive to the airport to Tahoe? The mix one Jose made for you? I remember one song playing that I really liked and never got the name of it…
Me says
It was a mixed CD. You gotta give me something more to work with if you want me to identify the song. A lyric or something.
becca says
can’t remember. just remember enjoying it… it was alternative, fairly slow, almost matchbox-20-ish…

Question is: Can Astros fans take yet another year of small ball? And you and I both need to rub Jessica’s head to have her speed rub off on us a little.
