this morning i had another 3 hour long meeting, then i went to the mall to buy some stuff (some presents, a universal remote control), and when the day was over i came straight home to watch the gilmore girls (good episode) and smallville. nothing particularly interesting today. i finally busted out my winter jacket though, it was 31 degrees this morning. when it gets cold enough for water to freeze (i saw some ice on the sidewalks), that's when i bring out the heavy artillery. i went to petco and saw that a giant millipede is back on sale. there's been a price reduction, it's now $10 to own this animal. recession hits hard, even in a pet store. lisa, the 2+ week old new programmer, showed me her canon s110 today, a recent purchase. wow, sold! i want one now. i'd still use the nikon for my usual photo taking, but the s110 is a great camera for people photos because you can pretty much take it anywhere due to its small size. after dinner, i ordered some winter gear from rei-outlet.com. it's always a little bit of a crapshot ordering clothes online. you never know if it's going to be a perfect fit until you try it. i outed eliza at the office today, she's a total closet harry potter fan and is of course excited about the harry potter movie coming out this weekend. i've never read the books, but i will definitely see the movie because i'm a sucker for hype.
