Well, I guess I've left this blank for a while...didn't really want to post anything...but I'll put up a pseudo-brief recap of things...

1. Still awaiting word as to whether the PFW editors who are going to the Super Bowl (myself included) will be attending the biggest, best pre-Super Bowl bash of them all: The Playboy party. I'm excited about the notion of rubbing elbows with celebrities and athletes...with or without the scantily-clad Bunnies there. Oh, and before I get emails saying, "Andy, you shouldn't talk about that on your blog," Donna knows about it and is cool with it...and that's why I love you... ;) Of course, I was a bit disappointed when I found out that Maxim's Super Bowl bash is the same day and time. Maybe I'll sign up for that on the ever-so-unlikely chance that the Playboy party sucks.

2. Special kudos to Scott, my cousin by marriage to Andrea...he has gotten me hooked on a game I thought I might buy but didn't think I'd really like that much: NASCAR Thunder 2003. It was tons of fun last night playing my best Dale Earnhardt, bumping people to spin them out of control. Generally it looked like a fun game...if I can find it used for cheap, I'll probably pick it up, furthering my fat-ass-sitting-on-the-couch-playing-video-games syndrome. Damn technology...if it hadn't gotten so good, I would have never bought a PS2.

3. In more important news, the game Donna calls a geek game, The Sims, comes out for PS2--when I wrote this originally this morning, I thought today, but I guess I'm wrong...I went to Circuit City at lunch and it wasn't there...the Circuit City Web site says Thursday. At any rate, I'll be purchasing this game without a doubt. Today, if at all possible. I love the CPU version, and the PS2 version is supposed to be that much better. More of that syndrome up mentioned in No. 2 ahead. :) Of course, Donna may not call it such a geek game once she's hooked on it after we play the two-player versions...if they're cool.

4. Random fax just received, not for the kiddies, to invest in Titan Technologies, Inc., stock symbol TITT. I kid you not...and the closing statement of the ad is "Good luck watching TITT fly this quarter!" Ah, random fax hilarity is always good.

5. I hate traffic. I've been here at work all of 45 minutes because, (1) I got up five minutes later than usual...it's amazing how things snowball after that, (2) there was a stray puppy in our backyard, so I had to help Gerard lock our dogs in the basement while he brought the puppy inside, and (3) traffic was the worst it's been since before Christmas. Side note: Further proof that there's no way my dog attacked that other dog way back when--Autumn, Gerard's dog, was going nuts standing by the basement door to get to the puppy. Kazak, my dog, sat right next to me as I put my socks and shoes on, showing little care for the puppy upstairs. If he were really vicious, he'd want to get at that thing. Gerard got ahold of the owners, and they were on their way to pick up "Ally McBeagle" as of when I left.

6. I've noticed a strange difference in my sleep, brought on by a slight change...I now sleep under a sheet and a comforter instead of just the comforter...I don't get too hot, and I seem to sleep more soundly. On the negative side, it's a lot harder for me to get up in the morning, and on days off, I've slept quite late...somewhat uncharacteristic, even though I typically sleep in a bit on days off...is it possible that I'm getting worse sleep and just not realizing it? I don't know...all I know is, I need new pillows, and I should fork out some cash for nicer ones that last more than a year or less.

Oh well, that's all for now...maybe more later on...
