On an interesting note, I was equally obsessed with the Lomo this time last year. It must be something in the air. The snow is melting, the earth is heating up, and everything starts smelling Lomie. Oh, that’s loamy. Nevermind. I guess I’ve just wanted a Lomo for a good year or so now.

On an unfortunate note, after reviewing my finances last night, I don’t think I’ll be buying a camera anytime soon. Or anything else, for that matter. We bought groceries last night, and that drained my funds entirely. Once this batch of foodstuffs is gone, I’m going to have to have to start swiping gum from the undersides of desks to chew for calories. Well, maybe it’s not quite that bad, but I think unnecessary expenditures are out of the question.

I have something like seven fliers for my apartment hanging in strategic locations in the dorms and around campus; so hopefully, I’ll get a few calls on our apartment soon. We’re getting down to the wire. Originally we were planning on vacating the premises by April 30th, but Megan’s gotten word that she can start moving into her new apartment on the 9th. She’s said that she’ll be sticking around for a bit after she starts moving her stuff (no rush and all that), but still. That means, either I’m living in this apartment by myself for around three weeks, or I’m moving to the new place three weeks early. I’m not too keen on the first option (memories and all, you know), but the second option relies more on my ability to get ahold of a large vehicle than anything else. It’d be nice, in a way, to move early: cleaning would be easier without all the furniture getting in the way. However, no one’s moving out of the house until mid-May, which means I’ll be living in the spare bedroom (not my final bedroom) for a month or so. Considering I’d have to live in the spare bedroom for a week or two regardless, I guess it’s not that big of a deal.

My new (used) 21″ monitor is stinkin’ awesome. Probably the best $40 I ever spent. Lorenzo was going to give me the monitor for $30, but that felt too much like highway robbery. I have my desktop running at 1600×1200 now. Beautiful. I almost bought ~another~ 21″ monitor last night (for a dual-monitor behemoth of a setup), but:
1) I don’t have the $60 dollars it would have cost me.
2) Megan didn’t have the $60 to loan me.
3) I’m not positive I could fit two 21″ monitors on my desk.

Ah, well. I’ll call it a future goal. Who wouldn’t want a 3200×1200 desktop? *g* I have a 2560×1024 desktop at work (two 19″ monitors running at 1280×1024). It’s lovely. And not just because I have pictures of Aragorn and Gandalf to stare at all day. :)

I think I missed out on some birthday cake a few days ago. Happy birthday, she-who-doesn’t-announce-her-birthday-whatsoever-this-year. :) In just a few short years, I’ll have caught up to you, yaknow. I’m worried the universe might explode at that point.
