Sunday in review

- Church, as usual. This week's film clips included Joe's Apartment and Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Did I mention that I love my church?
- Beat Death on Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow. So far, I'm loving all the GBA Castlevanias.
- Saw Pirates of the Carribean. SO GOOD. Probably the best movie I've seen all year, easily shoving Matrix: Reloaded from that spot. What wasn't there to like? Pirates, curses, zombies, swordfights, ship-to-ship battles, comedy, romance, betrayal... definitely one to get on DVD.
- Got my third WC3 win on the US East realm. Slowly but surely getting better. My opponent threw all of his resources into one massive last-ditch effort to kill me, and I held fast. After that, he quit the game, giving me the win.
- Got bills paid. The last Fingerhut bill goes out tomorrow (HUZZAH!), so our next target for elimination is the Rhodes bill (for our bed). That one could take about 10 months to pay off, at $60 a month. With any luck, the Gateway bill should be pretty small by then. In a year or so, that'll save a total of $180 - $210 dollars a month. Of course, that'll be devoted to another bill, and then another, snowballing until we're making $300-$400 monthly payments on one bill, and breaking it down within a handful of months. Everything's going according to plan.

(no subject)

It's 8:19 in the morning, and I've already DDR'ed, showered, dressed, walked the dog, had breakfast, and done my morning 'net surfing, plus I have all of the month's bills ready to go to the mail on the way to work. This "waking up early and not slacking" thing seems to work...

Party of sorts tomorrow...

Well, in less than 24 hours, I'll be 26, so to celebrate my birthday, we're having a small get-together tomorrow. Here's the plan:

- Meet at our apartment at 7 PM. If you don't know the way, just call me or drop me an email and I'll get you directions.
- From there, we head out to Hop's, a brew-and-steak house just a few blocks down from us. Home of the Jamaican Top Sirloin, easily the best steak in KC. Mmmmm... Jamaican Top Sirloin...

And from there, we'll play it by ear. If you can let us know by, oh, 4 PM tomorrow if you're coming, so that we know how many to make reservations for, it'll make things go much smoother.

Looking forward to seeing people there!
