MTV and the Modern Life

Did you know that MTV’s news correspondents have been updating weblogs at MTV.com? It’s one of those things that you learn during your morning Google News.

And it’s actually worth your time.

My New Truck!

Saturday morning, I got my truck. It is a beautiful dream: 2003 Toyota Tacoma PreRunner V6 in black with oak interior, with 17" alloy wheels, keyless entry, extended cab, power everything, 6-speaker CD/Cass/FM stereo, bucket seats, automatic transmission, cruise control, and that new car smell. It’s another lease vehicle, but before you begin the criticism, realize that I couldn’t afford it any other way. I’ll be posting pictures as soon as Jess gets back from her Keys trip. (She has the digicam.)

Seven Days!

Seven days from now, I’ll be in possession of my new truck. I’m pretty excited. Also, in seven days, my eBay auction of a Hauppauge WinTV TV Tuner/Video Capture card will be complete. I plan on listing more stuff I’ll never use again, but maybe not tonight.
