For me, there’s something about seeing the ocean everyday that makes me feel just a little more peace in my life. I think there’s a little magic in it.

What’s something you see everyday that always makes you smile?

I said at the beginning of the year that I was going to take more pictures.  One of my reasons for doing this was that I really, really, REALLY want a digital SLR.  But if I am completely honest with myself, I don’t need one at all.  I’m not going to become a photographer, and the point-and-shoot I have currently takes some pretty decent photos for a point-and-shoot.  And I don’t even take pictures all that often, which is why I want to take more– to justify getting a digital SLR.

If I’ve even more honest with myself, I can’t really afford one.  So instead of splurging, I’ve set up a savings account just for a camera, with an automatic bi-weekly transfer of money from my checking.  I’ve just started it, and I’m on track to have saved up enough for a camera in… one year.  Maybe by then I will have entirely convinced myself that I don’t need one and use the money on something more practical.

Alright, I have to go drop $250 now to register for the GMAT.  *cries*

This is my workspace.  Is it narcissistic to have two pictures of myself on my desk?  Perhaps.

The IT guy at work always gives me crap for buying a Mac.  But it’s what I wanted.  But I tell you what I won’t be buying– an iPad.  Between my MacBook, and my iPhone, do I really need small, smaller, and smallest?  No thanks.

I think Apple could have shown a little more class by not trying to make a Kindle for Mac lovers.  And Kindle’s are nice, but what’s so wrong with an old-fashioned book?  And you can read most of those for free thanks to the library, where I am off to in just a second to get some more… (GASP!) old-fashioned books.

I’ve resisted Lost thus far.  And I will continue to resist.  Lost, you are soooo resistable.

Over the past couple of months, I’ve really gotten into Dexter.  I think it’s one of the best TV shows I’ve seen in quite some time, and it’s really nice to see Michael C. Hall winning some awards for it.  And I’d like to take a short moment to convince you to watch it, if you don’t already…

Reasons to watch Dexter:

1. It’s on Netflix instant viewing – so you don’t even have to make a commitment with your disc rotation!
2. Dexter proves that you can make Jimmy Smits be any nationality you want with just a strategic mustache.  VOILA!

Okay, that’s all the clever reasons I could think of at the moment.  It’s just good.  Watch it.
