notes for my afleck meeting i went too.
oops. i didn't see that.
i've this nasty habit of writing on ANY paper on my desk for notes (that's burned me) and typing anywhere my cursor is at for notes.

it's a real problem. i'm trying to work on it.

Your blogs make me feel so smart... oh wait, no they don't!! (Notice the extra exclamation points) But interesting none the less.

maybe i should defend my notes that i keep moving to the top.
i've pretty much decided to invest 500$ to build a video projector (computer, dvd, composit/s-video input) so i can watch bigger movies and play bigger xbox.
