Weekend recap. After our company lunch, Dave and I booked back to my place so we could check out the new TV (see below..yeah, way below). He supplied some ice cold beers (thanks dude) and we chilled out watching some DVD's. Unfortunately, the sickness came rushing down on me and he mentioned that we go check out Audio Systems. Not one to refuse a visit to one of our favorite local Hi-Fi shops, we went. There's this guy who works there, Rice (who we've become friends with over the years and typically let's us mess with $12,000 worth of speakers and tube gear) wasn't there. That didn't stop us from putting our greasy fingers on everything.

Afterwards, my failing health became to tumble down upon me. Luckily, Emily came by to take care of me. Spiking all my drinks with Vitamin C and calling my sudden case of delirium and exhaustion an excuse to get out of watching Some Like it Hot. =P I'll be the first to admit that that wasn't the case. I'm pretty sure small parasites were eating my intestines from the inside out.

Anyways, the next thing I remember is waking up Saturday morning and everything felt much better (thanks of course, to Emily!). Wally was getting blind from the steady and gradual blurring of his monitor and wanted to get a new one. We went up to Fry's but they had no good deals at the time so he opted not to get one for the time being. We went up to Austin Books again, and who do we run into? Dames, Mike "Spider" Nguyen, Mike's fiance and Brian. The odd's of comic book geeks running into each other on the same day? = Astronomical. Yet, it happened.

For the rest of Saturday, it was a nice relaxing evening haning out over at Emily's apartment and watching enough Trading Spaces to convince me that my balls have shrunk. =P hahah just kidding--of course i'll never admit I like that show!! DOH!

My co-worker Dave in front of the Ghetto Home Theater. Watch out ladies, he's married. Oh yeah, none of my equipment is THX Certified. It's what we call in the industry: The Dramatic Effect.

Song of the Day:
1.) Gomez - The Ballad of Nice and Easy.
