I'm typing this from the home of the world's classiest Internet cafe - that's right, Burger King. They actually have a friggin Internet cafe here!

Trying to read 1wrestling on a version of IE with no pop-up blocker is nearly impossible. I gave up on the site after three minutes. How the heck do they make any money?

Work is going well so far. I had my first taste of a difficult project today. Pretty frustrating, but it was all cleared up by one tiny piece of information by the guy who normally works on it (he is on vacation this week). It helps if you know that what the client calls "position 551" is really "position 851." Things just fall together so beautifully after that little tidbit of info.

I found out that one of the SQL guys at work is a horror movie buff. He has the companion Dracula figure to the Frankenstein figure I bought the other day. In the course of talking horror movies with him for four minutes, he already went into a rant about how awful Saw is. All on his own, with no prompting from me. I think I like that guy.

I'm still living in a mostly-barren house. No Lina, no Punky, no TiVo, no Internet, no furniture...it's all I can do to keep from raping the neighbors' dog just for the entertainment value. And well, he is kinda hot. It'll all be made right soon enough.

My plans to go see They Might Be Giants and The Mutter Museum with Rachael have been canned. Bummer, but I'm not really familiar enough with TMBG to have appreciated it anyway. The Mutter Museum, on the other hand, I'll definitely have to hit sometime. Maybe the next time Rachael can get a break to come up, we'll hit that.

I found a local car dealer that just blew me away. A whole car lot full of antique/classic cars. Mostly muscle cars. Beautiful, beautiful muscle cars. Can I have the black convertible GTO? Can I, huh?

The local network TV lineup is a little more robust than Richmond's. There's one station that shows mostly international stuff. I watched an Asian news broadcast this morning. The language wasn't Japanese, but I can't tell you much more than that. They also have German, Polish and other programs. And there's a whole friggin Mexican channel for free. I haven't caught any lucha on it yet, but there's always hope.

Only a few more days until I get Comcast 'net hooked up at home. How I miss thee.
