I woke up on Sunday and thought it was 11am. Then I walked into the living room, looked at the cable box, and realized, “Wow, it’s PM.” Stupid time change. It was pretty neat leaving work at 7:30 tonight and it still being pretty light out. I dig that. But I’m still tired from getting up early.

Other hints that tell you spring is in the air:

Basketball is over. *Sniff, sniff* I think it’s cool that the championship basketball game is on the same day as opening day at Busch stadium, which is not Bush stadium, even though the miserable failure threw out the first pitch.

Mountain Dew Livewire is back in stores for 2004. Mmmmm sweet Livewire. I had two today at work, and got a mini buzz, and then a headache. Or those could have been left over from the bad bourbon I was drinking last night (the headache, not the Livewire.) Went to see Ben Folds playing at Foellinger last night… He rocked that bitch, let me tell you! It’s always impressive to see people with a ton of music talent. I’m going home this weekend, maybe I’ll try to play some piano. (Note to self: See if I can download Ben Folds cheatsheet off the Internet.) Other note to self: Download Ben Folds EPs from iTunes. Note to other Self: Kansas sucks, but is #1 in the top 25 to watch for next year. Illinois is #5.

Eric bought a gas grill. Well, he bought the grill, I bought the tank of gas. And then we made burgers. And chicken. And maybe ribs tomorrow. MMMMmmmmm bbq.

I’ve spent the last two days at work tracking down more networking/VPN related problems. This is different than the problem that kept me there until 5am Friday night, and different than another open issue I have with our vendor. I have a note outside my door that says “Please do not disturb.” and it’s worked really well. Even after the network problems get ironed out, I think I might leave it up.

Okay, well off to go play with a 3d version of Scorched Earth.
