computer

today i got a computer from work. they were giving some away since upgrading alot of our equipment. it's an old dell and I have no idea what sort of amenities it includes, but free was too good to ignore. i don't have my own computer - well, didn't until today, and i really only need somewhere to keep photos, journaling and my writing. we already have wireless internet at the house, so it's a simple upgrade on the bad boy.

we had our meeting for my work trip today. it seems they've set us up in quite a nice hotel in paris. i can count on one hand the number of hotels i've patronized in my entire life. any hotel is an adventure to me, though i honestly do prefer staying with friends. it would've been nice to have been able to extend my trip another week and be in london for my birthday, but i'll be having a big party, so it's okay to be home. i decided the big deal about turning 30 is that it's really not a big deal. i'll just keep telling that to myself and my friends in the hopes of keeping myself from getting weird about the big three-oh.
