>So Valentines day was on Friday… I had a nice evening – Nicole and I went to go see “South Pacific” at Symphony Hall. I got the tickets late so we could only get balcony seats. It wasn’t all that bad, though we couldn’t see their faces, the sound system was perfect so it didn’t quite matter. That’s where over accentuated motion in theater comes into play. =]

Saturday I went to go see Treading Waters @ a local pub. The place was a dive, but the music was good and it was really close to WNEC, ended up staying there that night.

Sunday I relaxed with “DOA: Extreme Volleyball” on XBox & “SimCity 4” on PC, my buddy Justin was home for the weekend, so he came out to visit… had a few drinks and (after a while – no drinking and driving here) went for a drive in the Protege.

It had already started to snow a little with the impending “blizzard“.

Monday morning I was awakened early by the arrival of my iMac, my .mac software got lost by UPS (they say they delivered it – I never got it) but it’s not like it’s required. I had it up and on the web in under 5 minutes. I just turned it on, no configuration, no removing stupid piggy back programs like GATOR, or other adware. It was said that the iMac looks like ET leaning into me, and with the bubble speakers it’s a futuristic looking thing. I now have the PC to the side, and to see the computer desk and it’s components is a true power-user’s dream. I’ll post a picture at some point.

The snow continued to pile, there was a great turmoil about shovelling, that everyone must help and yadda yadda, I got all bundled up, went out, started shoveling, called for my house-mates to join me… Ken came out and said “umm… they’re getting a plow, Scott said they’d already paid the guy and he’s coming back later today.” I went and asked the landlord who was shovelling her own walk

“yeah… he’s coming”

“then why am I shoveling?”

“I wondered the same thing, I yelled to you”

“I didn’t hear you”

“I left you a voicemail”

“I’m here shovelling… could have told me”

“well, it’s good exercise”

Humph.

So I shoveled half the driveway for nothing. Oh well, such is life — and it wasn’t all that bad, had it been the whole driveway… then that might have been a different story…
