Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk

Supposedly I’ve been to the Boardwalk when I was a kid, but for memories’ sake today was the first time I’ve gone. Unfortunately it wasn’t nearly as fun-filled as I remembered from the commercial.

Friday Update 10/28

Went to meet with Chuck on Wednesday, so no call this week. Everything is moving along steadily. Tile floors and cabinetry are all in place.

Finally the kitchen is coming together:

Friday Update from Chuck 10/14

Here’s another update of the 2nd floor living area and master bedroom:

The wall color was darker than I anticipated, but I like it so far. In fact, I’ll probably flush my initial plans of individually painting some walls.

I’m anticipating the installation of kitchen and living room cabinetry. You’ll see. 🙂

Here’s an evening shot of the community in progress:

MÃœHLE Safety Razor Set (For Later)

I hate shaving. It’s not that I hate the act of shaving, but really the act of repurchasing razors. They just seem so unecessarily expensive. As a matter of fact, I think the only razors I’ve ever owned are the ones that P&G sent me for my 18th birthday (luckily for me they thought I turned 18 twice). Okay, I’m lying. I’ve gone to Costco to purchase that giant 25-pack of cartridges once or twice–but I hated it.

A few weeks ago I watched Put This On Episode 4: Grooming, and decided to give the traditional wet shave a go. Here’s the set I’m currently looking to put together:

MÜHLE RSAV Aloe Vera shaving soap

I still haven’t pulled the trigger yet, but I expect to in the near future. I’ll report back my findings.

Friday Update from Chuck 10/7

Now that the garage door is put in, it looks like they’re locking the front and side doors when they leave.

RIP Steve.

Desktop Modding

Found a folder of screenshots back from when I was into modding my WinXP desktop. These are from a short period between Oct 2002 to Jan 2003 when I was using my 13.3″ 1024*768 IBM Thinkpad 600E. Enjoy.

Btw, I was going to remove the screen names shown in my buddylist, but who the hell still uses their old AIM screen names? 🙂
