After I was through, I bought 2 more CDs (<b>Rasa: Exotica<\/b> and <b>Rasa: Exotica II<\/b>), a DVD (<b>Comfort and Joy<\/b>) and a wallet. Not that I can afford any of this after deciding on remodeling, but whatever. I think I&#8217;ve bought a dozen CDs since I got my iPhone. Funny how that works.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m still trying to decide whether to go to Japan this fall. I&#8217;m feeling broke, but that never stopped me. The only question is whether the contractors will be around while I&#8217;m screwing around in another country. My sister doesn&#8217;t think she can make it (too much work, probably) so I&#8217;m really on the fence. I&#8217;ll probably end up flipping a coin in the end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was tired at work today and it didn&#8217;t help that my laptop was dead.
