Today while I was in the city I picked up some bamboo shades for our spare bedroom. My girlfriend is always trying to do this or that to make the spare bedroom look better, even though we hardly ever have anyone over, especially to spend the night. At least she puts most of her focus into that one room rather than always trying to fix up the whole house. But, I do have to say, bamboo shades really made the room look alot different, in a good way.

One of the guys I work with started taking Lipozene diet pills a while back and says that it hasen’t worked well at all. He stopped using it after reading several bad reviews for it online. He didn’t even notice that they didn’t offer a list of ingredients on the bottle until he read it in an online review. Hopefully he can find a diet pill solution that works better that Lipozene.

I found a micro SD card sitting on the booth seat at Hooters the other day when a few friends and I went in for lunch. I thought about keeping it, but then I thought, what if the person who lost it came back looking for it? Good micro SD cards aren’t cheap and I would be stressed to the max if I lost my SD card that I back up project data at work onto. I gave the card to the waitress. I don’t even know if she turned it in or kept it now that I think about it. I probably should have given it to the manager.

It doesn’t seem like Christmas should be here again so soon. Time is really just flying by. I’m starting to make little lists of what gifts I need to buy and who I need to buy them for. There are electronic gifts, sports gifts (sports gifts will probably be the majority, as I have lots of younger boys in the family to buy for), girly gifts and so much more that I need to start buying. Christmas is less than 2 months away. It seems like it just happened a couple of months ago. I just can’t believe how fast time is passing by.

My girlfriend loves candles. Every time I turn around she is getting some new candles in the mail that she found for a good price online. Yesterday UPS delivered some new Votive candle holders and candles that she found on QuickCandles.com. She got a set of 144 candles, yes, I said 144, one hundred and forty four candles, for $25.00. I like having some extra candles for when the power goes out during really bad storms and that sort of thing, so I was proud of her for finding such a nice deal on bulk candles. I might have to place my own order for another couple sets.

A few weeks ago I replaced our front and back doors with some newer, better looking and more secure ones. After looking at them every day for the past few weeks, I don’t really think I like the style of door knobs and deadbolts that are on them. They don’t really go with anything else in our house. I’ve been looking online at different door hardware and I have found so many different shapes and styles that I had no idea were available. Hopefully my girlfriend likes the looks of the new door hardware when she see’s it installed.

The best camcorder that I have ever owned or used has got to be my Panasonic PV-GS320. It’s a 3CCD video camera that uses MiniDV tapes. The quality is so clean and the colors are so vivid. I can’t believe this thing doesn’t sell for more. From everything I have read and seen about this camera, it’s about the best quality you can get without upgrading to a very expensive High Definition video camera. I would even compare the quality of the Panasonic GS320 to some of the High Def cameras that I’ve seen. I paid right at $380 for it brand new at Best Buy. I used a price match from a sale that Circuit City had going on. Best Buy’s price for it was over $500 at the time and the manager didn’t seem too happy that I was doing the price match. I ended up with a brand new 3CCD video camera, a 4 year warranty that covers the thing even if I drop it and it cracks in half, a nice Tripod and a carrying case, all for right at $500. I love this camera and I would recommend it to anyone shopping for a new video camera! To view video clips of PV-GS320, search YouTube for Panasonic GS 320. There is a PV-GS320 and an NV-GS320. The only different between the PV and the NV is NTSC/PAL. The PV is NTSC and the NV is PAL. Seems like they accidently got those model names switched around.

Yesterday I finally got around to ordering myself some new laptop memory for my home laptop. A couple of months ago I upgraded the memory on a few of our laptops at work and it really increased the performance like you wouldn’t believe. Every since then I’ve been wanting to upgrade my home laptop memory but haven’t wanted to spend the money or I forgot to even look at it when I’ve been online. HOpefully it gets here soon so I can put it in.
