Well home has certaintly been nice. I had some of the best Bar B Q I've had in a long long time on Saturday, saw X-Men 2 on Sunday, and then upgraded to Mandrake 9.2 on Sunday night.

Which that has been an ordeal in itself. After every upgrade I always have tospend a few days getting everything back to the way I like it, and this one was no exception. As I type this, I have my desktop set up sorta the way I like it, but there are some things that are no longer available that I used to use quite a bit. And some things dont' work the way they used to, and so I've been messing around with it forever now. It'll get there eventually, and some of the new stuff is very very cool.

I also picked up Linkin Park's new CD finally, which is muy good. I loved their first one, and Meteora a is a nice follow-up (not counting that remix album). "Breaking The Habit" and "Somewhere I Belong" are probably my favorite songs from it.

I went back to my old high school today for the first time since I graduated. My brother had an award ceremony, so I went to that. None of my old teachers were there though, but it was just weird walking through those halls again. I really don't miss high school at all though.

Speaking of going back to high school, in a very "Never Been Kissed" moment, a reporter went back to prom 10 years after her own senior prom, and then compared the differences. Interesting piece, and it simutanously makes me wish I would have gone to my prom (I LOVE dancing), and glad I didn't (so much money and overhypeness).

I'm also planning/hoping to get a digital camera and new laptop over the summer. Currently waiting for some new videocards to come out for laptops before I start seriously looking, but there's some nice stuff out there. As far as camera's go, once I get it (probably in a month or so) except to see A LOT more picture updates. Which I have 2 rolls of film I need to finish up and get developed, so there might be one in the (semi)near future. Oh, and if you own a digital camera you like/hate or know of a really good one decently priced (looking at about 3 Megapixel) send an email my way.
