You’d think I could remember the rules of correct ebay-ing, but I can’t. I always think that I’m screwing up and often I am. I usually want SOMEONE ELSE TO WIN so I don’t have to buy the thing I just overbid, but then when they do I wonder why I’m such a loser. Right now I think I have a bid on a $250 plumbing tool that I already bought with, “buy it now.” I hope I don’t end up with two.

On another note, I had to take my computer into the Apple Store because they dented the lid when they fixed it. I always make late 8PM appointments at the Apple Store because it’s easier to get to, but fewer hotties are shopping at the mall at that late hour. I suppose there are fewer hotties at the mall this week since it’s being overrun by kids who are out of school for winter break.

I also had to buy a new wallet as a Xmas present for me from my parents. I’m not sure how long a Coach wallet is supposed to last, but my guess is about 3 years. Being a dude, I don’t want to buy a new wallet more often than once every fifteen years. My old one seemed to wear out a lot quicker than that.

I’m not really sure what I did to annoy my Macintosh, but I used up all the memory in my MacBook Pro and it started swapping. In simple terms it means that whatever is in the computer’s memory that it doesn’t really need is written to the hard drive. When the computer decides it needs the things on the disk, it copies it back. Boy, is MacOS bad at swapping. I just spent 20 minutes waiting for it to stop. Some of the programs I’m using are probably to blame as well, but sheesh, 20 minutes waiting for the computer to start doing something I want it to do rather than just reading and writing the hard drive.

Last night I got home late after a fun but calm holiday party at my friend Zach’s house. So today in the middle of the day I thought I was going to fall over. Come to think of it, I probably should have just fallen over. I hardly remember any of the football games I watched today. I did, however, glue the drawer back together, finishing one of the three tasks I assigned myself for my “vacation” days.
