Hindsight

Today was comfortable. I went to Fry’s Electronics, a store that all computer and gaming geeks will particularly enjoy.

I decided to use some of my JET pension money and pick myself up a DVD recorder/rewriter. Pioneer DVR-S606. I was able to put Statement of Agreement onto a test DVD. I want to make the menus look slicker and have more control in creating them - the bundled software is for the basic, entry level user.

So I’m happy I can now burn my projects to DVDs. I tried running it on my PS2, my region-free DVD player and my laptop’s player as well. So far so good. I also backed up my web projects and video project directory onto a single DVD, which is definitely less clumsy. One of my biggest video projects in the past spanned over 10 cd-roms.

I’ve been flipping through this Blue Cross “handbook” looking at health plans. I was surprised temps could even get access to benefits. I am honestly lost. I know I’m going to choose PPO and what not, but a lot flies right over my head. That’s it. I am packing up to go to Canada, where healthcare is pretty.

Next weekend I’d like to go home to La Verne so that JJ can help me look into a good, fitting pair of rollerblades. Initiative isn’t enough.

Prince of Persia: Sands of Time is a whole lot of fun, by the way.
