Thoughts for the day

I'm pretty well moved in to my apartment now. Thanks to Ikea, I can see, which is always a good thing. Here's whats been on my mind the last week:

Job Hunting
I still have to go to Barnes and Noble- the closest store isn't a stone's throw away. Also Walden Books. Aside from that, I've applied at Best Buy, Borders, Target, Walgreens, and even sent a few emails inquiring about offers on Craigslist. Still have lots of applying to do though. Is the obligatory 30 minute "Quick Answer" section really that important? No- I don't think stealing office supplies is ok, and yes- I do get along well with others.

Lost
This show is good, and its all on Hulu. I'm hooked.

School
I should have genuinely fun classes this semester. I have Spanish 1, which I hope won't be difficult- I was good at Spanish in high school, and I really want to be able to at least converse enough out of school to put it on my resume. I also have film studies, and I'm really hoping that it turns out to be fun.

CES
The Consumer Electronics Show 2010 is going on right now, and honestly, nothing that interesting has come from it yet. Sure, super thin 3D tvs, 3D tvs, and 3D DirecTV are all innovative (I suppose), I just want to see something truly cool. Last year we saw the Palm Pre, and everyone thought it would save Palm, and I suppose that would have been the Nexus One, if it hadn't been revealed before CES, and was a little more revolutionary. Ford's Sync (wasn't it MS Sync last year at this time?) endeavors just don't really do much for me. Make a system that goes into cars, rather than comes with them, and I'll be a little more excited.

Poker
One poker night over Christmas break became 4, and I'm setting one up as soon as the rest of the school gets back. I don't believe in that hat wearing/sunglasses shielding business though. Thats basically an excuse for not looking tough enough.

And- thats a bit of whats been on my mind the last week. I'll give my full take on CES 2010 this weekend. Wish me luck job hunting.
