on the way to work today i passed by the opening on a new donut store. it used to be a winchells but they closed down and happy donuts moved in. i didn’t think anything of it at first, but then i saw the sign.
it read, “GRAND OPENING! FREE COFFEE with any purchase”.
i, of course, was suckered in. i bought a few donuts and they offered me a choice between free coffee or free freshly squeezed orange juice. i opted for the free OJ and went on my way. orange juice is definitely not the drink to have after eating almost too-sweet donuts. no, the juice tasted sour and unpleasant. next time i must remember the coffee instead.
the donuts were actually pretty good. better than winchells, i’d say. i would say that they are a strong #2 only next to the delightfully light krispy kreme donuts. they were a little expensive though, 75 cents for a donut. i’m not sure if i’ll go again.
it’s funny because i expect donuts to be 60 cents or less and if it is any more (15 WHOLE CENTS!) then i get turned off. sheesh, what’s 15 cents?

that’s right…there is a new devil in town…and they are called [url=http://www.ergotron.com/3_products/flat_panel/deskstands/default.asp]ergotron[/url]. they make amazing little arms that you can buy and add to your home. monitor arms, that is. that’s right, they make the monitor arms that let you have a 2 LCD set up…or for those more ambitious, a 4 LCD setup. 4×1 or 2×2 configurations…mmmmm. can you just imagine? 4 20.1″ LCD monitors staring at you? it’s like a wall of monitors just waiting to be loved.
one of these days…
oh yes. one of these days you will be mine. as soon as i get the 3 other identical LCDs i’ll need to complete the display. now that one LCD feels so…lonely. who would have thought that you could be insane enough to mount 4 of those bad boys next to each other? mmmm.

it’s been a chill day today. i got more testing done for my project at work, so it looks like it’s coming along just fine. i also took a refresher on all this techie stuff that even bores me, so i won’t talk about it.
it’s been a pretty chill kind of a day…it’s been like that for the last couple of days. i guess i should think about my christmas shopping. i haven’t really done any of it yet. i’m not sure how many christmas gifts i need to buy this year, though, so it may not end up being that big of a deal.
