A few things...
This is the quick summary catch up of what I have been up to. I don’t blog as much as I should so this is a quick catch up of a few things.
1: We closed on the house. It was not easy or wonderful fun but we are glad it is over. And in this comment when I say “we” I mean Liz; my part in the house buying was to support and put up with Liz during her stress out and I think I did very will. So the house is mostly done we move in the last weekend in October.
2: I got a new monitor. I ordered a refurbished Samsung 21.3” LCD from newegg.com. The one I got was defective. Checked newegg.com and they would not let me return it. I called Samsung and told them no lies (or that it was refurbished) and they shipped me a brand new monitor. The only difference was they no longer made the 21.3” (which I knew that is why I ordered it refurbished, and because it was really cheep). So Samsung sent me a brand new 204T 20” LCD which costs a lot more than what I bought because it is a much better LCD even though it is one inch smaller. I have to say that this is the BEST looking LCD I have ever seen. If you have to get one this is the one to get. My only tip is LCD’s look 100% better if you run them in their native resolution. FYI – I emailed newegg.com and asked why I could not return and they sent me an RMA to return it.
3: Zoe is getting big (pictures to follow later). Kittens are cute and have a lot of energy but once fixed and a year old they start to agree to things like being held and petted. Up until lately you had to pretty much catch her in order to pet her at all. As for the others Simon is at the end of his life, or will be if he does not shut up; and Charlie continues to turn our house into his nest but he likes us more and allows us to pet him.
4: School is still going. I passed the first test and working on the second. As with most semesters things could be better and they could be worse.5: I finished watching “Firefly” the TV show on DVD. I really liked it for the most part. Still a little odd to have a Sci-Fi/western space show with no aliens. I have not yet seen the movie Serenity but will soon.

I know you expected me to comment on this, so I will ... by saying only that I'm sorry you had to "put up" with me.
I use the phrase "put up with Liz" only in a loving and supportive way.
Right. Now where have I heard that before?
