Buying gas today for sure.

Luckly all the things that are being needed for my apartment my parents are paying for. Otherwise I'd be more broke then I already am.

Had to replace my wireless router today. Four years isn't too bad. Still, felt like a waste of $40. Linksys wrt54g.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Hopefully I will pick up the other (drivers) headlight soon for cheap.

Hey Rob, how much is your cable + internet? A co-worker just signed up and is getting his for $60/month which sounds like a deal.

$60 is a heack of a deal. Also that could be a promotion they are running there right now too, then it will go up at a later date.

Mine is a little bit more expensive because I got a tiny HD package with it but that is only like an extra $5-$10.

But um it is near $120 a month for cable and internet. If I downgraded my cable package I could cust the cost by like $10 and my internet is the fastest they have which they said was the only thing available in the area I am in. But I am probably going to downgrade that as well and hopefully save about $10.

So I guess I am hoping to get it down to around a $100/m or less.

It is pretty expensive here.

Related to Putin's family, is it?

Arctic Silver's Ceramique CPU heat-conductive compound (approx 2 weeks ago). The CPU in my lappy (Pentium-4, 1.56GHz) kept overheating but now it's back in service.

I highly suggest that your mom plan a visit to Japan, AFTER her visit to Speyside, Scotland.

Four new tires for the XC90 at Discount Tire yesterday... the steal of the week at $130.00 per tire in 235-60R-18!

Ps.. got the same as the factory originals which lasted exactly 64,589 miles; Michelin Pilot HX MXM4's. Could have stretched it a bit longer but with that price I had to go for it.

Just put all 4 new brakes in the S80. I love how easy Volvos are to work on.

Just picked up the driver's side headlight for $72. Hopefully I have it in time to do the swap over the 4th. If you've been keeping score, that's $110 for the pair. I love the internet!

XBOX 360 LIVE movie rental of TEETH.

A friend said it is suppose to be good, so I am going to check it out. I read up about it on IMDB and it certainly is a weird concept.
