All new stuff for 2009

Every year, as an enticement to renew early, my apartment complex offers prize drawings for those that do just that. Last year i won a 4th gen, 4gig ipod nano. This year i won the december drawing, and chose a 1gig ipod shuffle as my prize. It's not that glamorous, just a 50 dollar prize i'll probably hock on ebay... but still, its neat to win - and two years in a row? I never win anything!

While i was in the office, the guy started asking me about my appliances. Though he was interested in my stove, i somehow parlayed his seeming generosity into a full new set of appliances for the place. They'll come on monday or so. Yay! My 1970's dishwasher and stove are on the way out. The fridge in here is actually pretty good... but they might replace it anyway so that it matches.

That, combined with my "new" (donated generously by a friend) television, makes my place all decked out in new stuff for a new year. Sweet.

Now to get new strings for the guitars.... if only i had some money.

Germany was fine, i'm a lazy blogger

The title pretty much says it all. Every time i post that i'm going to come back and post more, i dont.

I think i should really do this in small segments every single day, but i always forget.
