Whoa! What a freakin fun day!
We did everything.
We woke up and Sam, me, and the other Sam each took turns showering.
Dude! Sam's Bathroom is Huge!
It has a big round tub along with a shower in the other corner
of the bathroom and one huge mirror lining the entire wall and
counter top.
Gah. It was very interesting seeing my entire (Sexy! ;)
body naked in the room mirror. O.O
(Why did I just type this in???)
Anyway, I diverge.
So, then we went to my house to pick up some computer monitors so that
we can have a LAN Party and to get rid of some old monitors I had.
Then we went to Office Depot to drop off some those old monitors I had.
Then we went to Fry's Electronics to see how much a 42" Plasma TV on sale was and
if they had computer sound systems on sale too.
Alas, Sam ended up buying a Panasonic 42" Plasma TV off the Internet.
Shipping it cost $250 bucks, but it was $1000 cheaper than anywhere else still!
Woo Hoo. I can't wait to see it sometime this week.
Then we can have an awesome Anime Gathering.
Oh. Yeah we need a Surround Sound system too.
After Fry's we went to WinCo Foods to get all the Meat and Food for the BBQ.
[Okay gotta sleep now so I can go to work early.
More later.]
WinCo Foods is Awesome!
For those of you who are lucky enough to live in Renton and Kent I would recommend
going to WinCo Foods on Hwy 167 and 212th. It's right next to Hwy 167 on the East Side of the Highway.
They have tons of food at really awesome prices!
I think Costco has some competion now.
So yeah. Check it out.
The BBQ was really nice and relaxing.
We BBQ'd Hamburgers, Hot Dogs, Marinated Pork Loins, and Marinated Citrus Chicken.
I helped prepare the Marinated Pork and Chicken. Learning new receipes is fun.
mmMM Yum.
We also played the Appleseed Movie Trailer, The Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Movie Trailer, and
played Halo on my Xbox.
Looking Forward to Aki Matsuri this Weekend...

I'm now studying for my HP Desktop Certification Test.
This is actually going to be more convoluted than the HP Mobile Test.
These 2 tests are apparently the hardest to pass of the group of tests
that I will be taking.
So I'm so glad I was able to pass the first bad one yesterday and get it out of the way.
Continue to wish me luck and pray.

*sigh*
Damn! I didn't expect to get a freakin headache from
my Jimmy! ^^;
Yesterday was a great day of celebration for Kate's new
journey.
It started out okay.
I orginally wanted to go to the ANCEA meeting in the morning,
but one of my business customers called me with a computer problem.
So instead, I went to service my customer. At least, I was paid well for it. ^_^
Then Kate called me and I went her house.
I got there in just half and hour from Edmonds to Federal Way.
I had never gone to HD Hot Spurs. So I took her there for lunch.
We both had spare ribs. Yummy! ^_^
Then we got some spirits for the party.
[From Work on Monday]
By the time we were done with lunch and getting spirits,
it was time to pick Dessa up from the Kent Park and Ride.
Dessa had taken the transit system down from Edmonds to be at
Kate's Party.
The ironic thing was that I was in Edmonds in the morning to handle
computer problem at the Doctors office.
But, neither of us would have known about that fact anyway.
So, such is life.
After picking up Dessa at around 2:30pm we then went to Chris' place.
Yay!
Chris is Great! XD
He is so nice to allow us to use his apartment for the Party.
It's always fun hanging out at his apartment.
We can't thank Chris enough. Thanks so much Chris!!
Unfortunately, Anne had to leave for work at 4pm just as we arrived to party
at 3pm. >.<
Anyway, we watched Blazing Saddles, which I had never seen before.
It was a really messed up, but funny movie.
All the jokes were just so wrong politically. But, that's what made it so funny.
Then we played Dalmoudy for a while, then we played Apples to Apples.
All this time I only had a can of beer and a couple shots of my Jimmy. >^.^<
But, hell. That was enough to make me dizzy... ^^;
I'm such a light weight when it comes to alcohol.
Then we watched Animal House.
During this time a bunch of friends that I hadn't seen in a while showed up.
It was great to see them again.
I hope we can see each other more often.
Especially, now that my life has started to settle down more.
Anyway, after all that activity, Chris went to pick Anne up from work.
Yay!
However, I had to drive Dessa back home to Edmonds.
So, I still didn't get to hang out with Anne much during the celebrations. @_@
Well. There will be other times.
All in all, it was a wonderful send off for Kate.
[Sunday Morning]
As I sit here now.
I'm enjoying the dawn of a new day and watching the morning sun.

But, I'm glad it's Friday.
Looks like Robert needs a lot of help in his building now.
He is responsible for a big building.
But, it is one of the largest Microsoft Campus Buildings to service.
It's really long and 5 stories high. >.<
So that means a lot of computers to deal with.
I wish I could help him now.
But, unfortunately, I'm still in training.
I already know most of the things that I'm learning.
But, it's just a matter of waiting for HP and Dell to
schedule my certification tests.
That's what I'm waiting for now.
Oh. Well. At least I'm getting paid for it. XD
This weekend, my good friend is having a going away party.
But, I know we can always chat online.
So I will miss her physically, but not spiritually or electronically.
Heh.
Oh. Hopefully, I can make it to the ANCEA Meeting tomorrow morning too.

Geez,
I was at a customers place waiting for the Cable Guy to come.
He came 2 hours late after the last time that he was supposed to be there
at 4pm. So he didn't show up until after 6pm.
Then he couldn't get the Cable Service working. >.<
So I was sitting around most of the day waiting for nothing.
Hell. I could have been playing RO instead.
Monopolistic companies like Local Telephone Companies and Cable Companies
don't give a shit about you.
