Carlsbad. Fred is attempting to get in shape, using a Sportbrain step counter.

It’s been a long weekend; filled with toys. At Fry’s yesterday I spent about a week’s worth of salary on:

  • 40GB hard drive to try to install OSX, never did manage to get it to work.
  • MP3 player — 6GB HD-based and relatively compact; needs either a spare charger or a car charger, or both. But it’s sorta handy that it also works as a data transfer device.
  • Sportbrain. Probably just the novelty but it got me to walk on the beach today. I’m wondering what it will read; I probably walked about a mile on the beach this afternoon and certainly not more than two.
  • A buttload of books from the closing Crown Books. Way more than I needed but hell, 30% off is such a deal I can’t refuse.

This dinner isn’t bad. Expensive, but. They’ve got celebrity photogs on the wall, but all those people can’t have been here. Maybe to the restaurant somewhere else. It’s a bit deceptive I think, or if not deceptive then at least misdirected.

I am really enjoying having my house. It could easily be a little smaller so long as the storage were still there or I could force myself to part with some crap.
