Kitty!

My client today had a very nice Bengal cat. Anna and I both love the look of a Bengal, very wild looking with the spots of a leopard, but very tame and social. This cat was very playful and really enjoyed watching me hook up her owner's computer. The cat loved to be pet and played with and I was kind of sad I finished up with the work quickly and had to go.

I've been wanting to get another cat lately and it would be awesome to find a Bengal cat, but its probably not very likely we'll find one at the Humane Society to adopt. I know I could get one from a pet store or a breeder, but they are expensive cats so I wouldn't go that route.

Here are a few pictures I found of Bengal cats.

ITS GOING TO SNOW!!!!

Apparently southern Minnesota is about to get hit with 4-6" of snow shortly. YAY!

This video is related to the subject of snow and makes me laugh out loud every time I watch it. Thanks to Tony Doll for sending it to me!

Whoops, halloween pics

I realized today while going through pictures that I did not post Anna and I dressed up for Halloween. These are our Renaissance Festival outfits that we ordered online this summer. As always, click the photos for a larger view.

One thing leads to many

Anna and I purchased a Nintendo Wii video game system a little over a year ago and at first we played it all the time. Now it just sits there and never gets used. It did however, develop a video glitch that would make the picture on the TV go fuzzy. Luckily, I bought it from Best Buy with the 2 year replacement plan on it. I took it in and got store credit for the original purchase price, since we didn't want another Wii.

I proceeded to browse around the store for at least an hour trying to figure out what to spend the store credit on. I have been wanting a wireless keyboard and mouse to replace the stock ones that came with my computer. Finding a set that would fit my needs and also be Mac-compatible was actually rather difficult. I ended up having to return the first set because there was a glitch with the mouse that prevented a Mac computer from ever entering sleep-mode to conserve power.

I ended up getting this fantastic ergonomic set from the Logitech company, and I am completely satisfied with it.
We have both been wanting a food processor for at least a couple years now but never got around to buying one. Luckily this time of the year, Best Buy carries a larger assortment of small appliances, so I picked up a KitchenAid food processor that was just the perfect size and matches our KitchenAid stand mixer as well.



There is still some money left over on the store credit so we'll have to find a few little things to pick up sometime. Nothing like going on a free shopping spree! Well, not exactly free since I paid for the original Nintendo Wii in the first place, but over a year ago so that money is written off.

Storm Chasers

Anna and I are finding ourselves watching HDTV programming almost exclusively now that we have a pretty large TV. One of the shows we have started watching is Storm Chasers on the Discovery Channel. Fantastic and beautiful show documenting a team of people that hunt down and study tornadoes in the midwest United States. These people are pretty crazy and also ridiculously smart.

One thing I noticed though: there is some definite male sexual tension in the TornadoVideos.net vehicle between Joel and Reed. I'm pretty sure these guys get sexually excited when they are approaching a large tornado on the ground. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against this lifestyle, but at times these guys are pretty silly.

The show overall is very good though, very entertaining and thrilling. A must-watch if you have an HDTV.

Christmas is here!

Anna and I put up the tree and ornaments tonight. Its always a good time doing that, going through all the ornaments and the memories they bring back. She was able to get Christmas weekend off to head back home to spend Christmas with her family. I'm not allowed to take time off during November and December so I don't get to come with. I'm not too bummed out since I'm used to not being able to take off on holidays.

I'm such a geek

And not just because I work for Geek Squad. Last night, I had a very long dream about owning the Apple iPhone. Yes thats right, I could have dreamt about winning the lottery, living on a private island in the Caribbean, or having magical powers. No, I dreamt I had an iPhone.

And I'm almost ashamed to admit that I enjoyed the dream.
