got home before 10!
I was happy today to get “home” before 10!
Home now being the house in Los Altos I’m renting out during the week. And, also exciting, I was able to buy some things from costco after work. Costco is always fun, though the mountain view one doesn’t have costco gas. 
And after costco, I went to Krispy Kreme and sat there for about an hour, drinking coffee and reading xanga. Oddly, I didn’t get a donut, even though I love Krispy Kreme donuts, and they had some freshly made ones.. Guess I was full from costco, next time!Of course, after getting home, I just spent the last hour and a half working on one of my consulting projects. Somewhat caught up on that one, though still behind on other projects.
But I’m happy, I feel comfortable in this house. It’s important to feel comfortable when one goes home. I guess it helps I’ve learned my own needs. A quiet place, a table for my laptop/computer and a decent mouse, music, and I’m good.
A comfortable chair is good too.audio stuff
I brought my Sennheiser HD-580s to work along with my Headroom Total BitHead when I started at box, and some of my coworkers commented on them. Then I found out one of them is newly building a new home stereo system, and we started chatting about stereo equipment. I let him try the BitHead, and he really liked it. Then another coworker today wanted to try it also, and he really liked it also.. I’m totally spreading the audiophile disease to box.
It’s funny, I refuse to listen to straight laptop/computer headphone outputs now, so I don’t even remember how bad they sound.
camera stuff
My new camera should arrive in emeryville tomorrow! It’s in oakland right now w/ UPS. I’m quite excited. I got a Rebel XTi and wanted to get the Canon EFS 17-55 lens, but everywhere with reasonable prices was out of stock and backordered, so I went with the a 50mm and 85mm fixed lenses. I’m excited.. I want to take pics of the kitchen in this house (assuming the owner doesn’t mind), pictures of the office, pictures of my condo, pictures of everything! It’ll be fun. Oh yeah, and one of the companies I’m helping out with is ShutterBudd so check it out if you are interested in photography! It needs a lot of work, but hopefully it’ll become a useful resource.
