Thanks to a heads up from Melissa, commenting is fixed. It was just me forgetting to upload a file when I upgraded MT Blacklist.
Happy birthday to me!
Today is my 34th birthday. Not so much different from my 33rd, or 32nd or 31st for that matter.
I think once you turn 30, birthdays stop becoming quite such a big deal for you and start becoming a big deal for the people around you. Friends and family always asking “So how does it feel?”, or “Feel any different?”, or other silly questions like that. And then instead of you heading out with friends to go out and party and get drunk, they’re the ones dragging your tired ass out after work to see how drunk they can get you. If they’re anything like my friends back home, they’ve probably also got pools going on how long it takes to get to the first spew of the night. Or having the bartenter add a few extra shots to your drinks without telling you.
For me, it’ll be just another day, although perhaps I’ll treat myself with a trip out to Best Buy or the bookstore and buy me something.
Adventures at the DMV
Actually, it was more of a non-adventure (aside from driving past it and having to turn around).
Note for next time, the SC DMV office on Leeds Ave is across the street from the County Detention center. Must be convenient for them if they happen across someone with an oustanding warrant. The security folks can just march them across the street and be done with it.
Like most states, SC has new requirements for non-US citizens getting driver’s licenses. Mostly it’s just more paperwork to bring, and there are only a few offices you can go to. I got there, got a number from the nice lady at the front desk, filled out a form and had a seat. Waited about 20 minutes before my number was called and 10 minutes later I was handed a sheet of paper that was my temporary license (I guess it’s to tide me over while they inspect my credentials) and had what was probably another cheesy photo taken for my driver’s license. Impressively speedy service.
My blog reviewed!
Submitted the blog for review to the folks over at Weblog Review a while ago, and yesterday it got reviewed. A very fair and kind review and the reviewer (fembat) seemed to accurately assess the purpose of this blog (I’m certainly not after mass appeal with it).
Thanks TWR 🙂
Happy new year!
Happy new year everyone! Hope 2004 brings many happy times and significant accomplishments for everyone.
I plan to spend a good portion of today relaxing in front of the TV flipping between the Mythbusters marathon on Discovery channel and the MadTV marathon on Comedy Central.
Things I want to accomplish this year:
- Finish developing my radiology equipment inventory/survey database more
- Work out more
- Get my wife’s credit card paid off, and a big chunk of my credit card paid down
- Finish some research projects and publish more
- Jazz up this blog a little bit
