eBay is amazing. No really. After almost a week at a $650.00 minimum initial bid, and about 14 questions from bidders later, the last 2 hours of my auction have arrived, and things are getting hot. Within an hour 10 bids alone. We're upto $736.75, and there's a big happy hat on my head right now. I hoped to get at least $700 and at this rate it's going to top $800 in no time. Oh happy Friday!

I'm a regular poster on the Fark.com Photoshop contests. There are a bunch of pictures that regularly show up that we dub as "cliches." For instance Admiral Ackbar of the Mon Calamari has been incessantly used. Whenever a theme is listed that can in any way be rhymed with "It's a trap," 100 people always do it. There are a few other amusing ones like this big fat guy who dumped a huge tub of mustard all over himself. Besides Ackbar the most used one are these lame-o's, the Icy Hot Stuntaz. Man...get out of my race lol.
Payday!
Payday!

Back to work after an interesting weekend. Friday I got off work a little early and headed immediately to Jess's at Monmouth U. Friday was her good friend Alyssa's birthday so we drank up that night and I got to meet/hang with more of her friends. After a rocky start (due to some sketch friends of one of the roomate's) we booted their asses and let the good times roll. Bacardi Razz and Pink Lemonade were the drink choices of the night, and with good cause. Just about everyone (except me ::sigh::) was smashed. Lots of pictures up from the weekend to those of you priveleged enough to have the info :P
Saturday Jess didn't have to work at the Gap cuz they cut her hours, which in a way was very good. We slept in and didn't get up till after noon. Thank God cuz I was running on empty after a few sleepless/sleep-deprived nights this past week. Went to brunch with Jess and her neighbor Lauren at THE AMERICANA (love our ghetto Jersey diners, they rock the Casbah) and then it decided to pour. Jess came back to Bridgewater with me and we went over Jesse's to watch college football and play some cards. That new Dominoe's "Doublemelt" pizza is mucho tasty, and most of you know how I dislike Dnoe's to begin with so it had to be pretty decent.
Sunday was Spooky Brook golf...18 holes, Jesse, Amar, Scott and I. We all did fairly well. I shot a 114 which is better than my 119 my first time out. I felt like I had a bad day despite my score improvement. I think I was just exhausted.
On a high (and low) point my parents left early Sunday morning. They started the drive back down to Florida where they'll be for the next 6 weeks. I started getting those sad "twinges" about last Thursday. This is really the first time I've ever lived completely alone. I mean not counting when they went to Italy a few years back for their anniversary. I was alone for 2 weeks, but 2 weeks and a few months differ some. In college I always had a roomate, or people around. Granted freshman year it was a drug dealer, lol, and then I had 1 1/4 semesters alone after he got kicked out, friends were always over etc. I hope it's that way with this too. In the Red House there was hardly a moment when you were alone. 15 roomates will do that lol. It's so quiet though...I hope I don't start talking to myself! If I do...you'll all be the first to know. Mom was so worried too it was pretty funny. She's telling me things that I'd have known if I'd only lived at my house for a few weeks as opposed to 20 years of my life :P
So it's back to the work week, a little tired, ready to go back to bed...and it's getting much colder much quicker. Seems like it's been getting darker MUCH quick all of a sudden. Then I remind myself it IS October now...and next month will be November! Better start compiling a Christmas Shopping list :D Also my ebay posting actually has a bidder so I'll be richer soon yay.
Dell D600 Laptop
It's like brand new...almost nothing installed on it except like Google Toolbar and Service Pack 2 lol. I started the bidding at $650.00 and it's got 4 watchers...so I hopefully as the last 4 days tick down the bidding will begin to get fierce. eBay is not a progressive thing, it's a rushatthelastsecondandwhoeverhascablemodemorfaster wins thing. So let's hope it crests $750.00...I need the $. :)
