A lot has happened since my last post. Among them are:

• I saw Transformers. I found it quite entertaining, despite the ridiculous computer stuff. The movie accomplishes what it was meant to accomplish, and the CG was terrific.
• I saw The Bourne Ultimatum. While I liked the story, I hated the directing. I almost lost my lunch because of the shaky camera movement.
• The green couches have left our living room, and the garbage man took them.
• Most of the crown molding has found its way to where the walls meet the ceilings in our living room and dining room. There are only two pieces left to install.
• The hallway’s baseboards are finished. There is no purple dog hanging over the stairs.
• The garage is mostly empty after three major weeks of cleaning it. My mom is even helping to sift through the stuff.
• I have started to slowly rebuild my iTunes library after losing it. Of the 10971 items on the iPod, 190 items have been added to my new library.
• My doctor suggested I should have a daily intake of 1,500 calories, split up 40/40/20 as proteins/carbohydrates/fat, however you figure that out. I’ll find out about my cholesterol in a few days.
• I may have found an adequate replacement for Stacey, my hair lady in Palatine. Her name is Amy, and she’s here in Schaumburg. She cuts my hair to my liking, and quickly. Plus, she gives a great shampoo.
• I’m taking a day off on Wednesday to act like a tourist downtown with Chris and the Pizzicas. We’re going to take an architectural tour on the river and lake. I’m hoping to have some good photos.

I’m sure there’s more, but I guess I’d better head off to bed. We’re hitting up Richard Walker’s at 9 in the morning. So much for me sleeping in on my day off.
