Post-Visit

Well, the visit's over, I'm facing work tomorrow, and have a bit of post-visit depression. You know how it is, when you anticipate something for over two weeks, and you can put aside and live through minor annoyances secure in the knowledge that it's "just X more days" until the Great Event happens. And then it happens, it's fun and all, but then it's over—and not only do you come down off of the fun-high of the overall experience, you then have all those day to day annoyances and drudgery facing you again, without any great new event to look forward to. It's my own little mini-post-holiday season, I guess. Kind of depressing when you think about it.

Another minor factor, I suppose, is the way that I've now got this neat gadget—a Belkin wireless/Ethernet router—sitting on my shelf, blinking merrily away...but I don't yet have a second computer, wireless or otherwise, with which to use it. So I've got this spiffy new toy...but as yet, no actual way to play with it. Earlier today, I got to use a computer of the exact same model that I'll be buying in a couple of weeks whenever it's ready, and it just whetted my appetite...I wish it would go ahead and be ready so I can get it. (I imagine I'm setting myself up for yet another "holiday experience" with that expectation...but then, so it goes.)

BMW, and my day

Well, I just noticed that BMWfilms.com is selling The Hire Collector's Edition DVD, with all 8 of the short films on it, for $3.75 plus tax.

I strongly recommend getting this DVD, as almost all eight of those films are first-rate and top-notch. And hey, at $4 for eight great car chases, how can you lose? That's only fifty cents per chase.

Today was a decent enough workday; I got to come home a couple hours early, which is good because I had what at first I took to be a stitch in my side get worse throughout the day. It was rather painful, and I was a bit worried—but after some consultation, I determined it was most likely just a sprained muscle. Have to see how it feels tomorrow.
