I need to win the lotto.

$31850 would be decent.

$30000 - a nice down payment on a house.
$500 - a high-end Tivo + lifetime subscription
$200 - an XBOX
$200 - a PS2
$250 - random games for the above
$200 - a high-end color printer
$500 - enough to build a new computer

Yep. That would make me happy for a few months, until something bigger & better came along. That won’t happen, so I guess I can just dream.

Saw a band last night. Longwave. They were pretty good live, considering there were about 15 people in the crowd… 5-10 of which were probably either with the band, or there coincidently because it was a bar. The opening band, the Reputation was good as well, and incidently part of a band I have already heard. The lead singer of the Reputation was the lead singer of Sarge, who broke up in 1999. Woo. Anyway, it was good Indie/Alternative, and a good time was had by all (12 of us).

Christmas is coming up soon — I got all my shopping done this year very early. How did I get it done so fast, you ask? Valerie was nice enough to do about 90% of it last Friday. What a nice girl. That left me with shopping to do for her. And me. Yes… I bought myself a present. My dad did it nearly every year — like father, like son. ;)
