Civic

I just got the 90,000 mile service done on my Civic, and it cost almost as much as my new laptop. I console myself with the fact that this is pretty much the ONLY service I’ve had done on this car since I bought it, at 49,000 miles. Also, the laptop was refurbished, hence not that expensive. Still, it’s going to be a bigger than usual credit card bill this month!

coffee

A have a little bag of coffee labelled “Cafe Noisette”. Now, I wasn’t sure what “noisette” meant, so I looked it up.: “A small round piece of meat, especially loin or fillet of lamb, veal, or pork.” Huh? Oh wait, meaning #2: “Made or flavored with hazelnuts.” That makes more sense.

Gundam Seed

I just finished watching the first 25 episodes of Gundam Seed. (I started back in June, and have been watching them on and off when I have time.) There are a total of 50 episodes, but it looks like I won’t get to see the rest until they start airing them on Cartoon Network in April (according to this press release from Bandai).

new notebook computer

I’ve been thinking about buying a new notebook computer. I don’t absolutely need one, but the old one is getting a little dated. I’ve been thinking that maybe I’m jumping the gun, and the old one ought to hold me for another year, but I just checked, and I bought it in January 2001, so it’s more than three years old now. And I bought it refurbished. So, yep, it’s about time.
