For today, I was removing excess caulk this morning, then went out to Bed, Bath and Beyond to get a trash can, as the old one broke...the lid only moves up one inch on the old one when I step down on the lever. After carrying it home...whew...it was heavy...I hen had put blue tape surrounding the caulk area and want to put in. Hopefully,...

Ha! So today, I finally got my shredder. Woohoo! Shredding unlimited! I needed one at home, since I've been bringing paper trash to the office, which makes me look almost homeless every morning these past few weeks.

So today, everyone discovered that my birthday is on Monday, where I will reach the big 3-0. For that they tried to throw me a surprise snack party...though...

So today, I finally open all my Amazon packages. I had lubricant (for my eventual shredder, not for anything else), The Essential Dr. Strange Volume 1 graphic novel, my 401(k) book, and....Dirt Dog! That Dirt Dog is another of iRobot's robots, but this one is designed for vaccumming workshop spaces. Not to say my home has a workshop-like mess, but it doesn't hurt to have...

Had an awesome night with Tabi. The night was great, no rain, good food, good company. It was remarkably peaceful, all things considered.

My job was very much a surprise today. People come up all of a sudden for things, which makes things hectic and a lot of changing of plans. The best thing was that it got a lot calmer tonight.

Off to...

So today was interesting day.

I was running this meeting between managers and then...wheeeeeee, a glass pane fell down out the window at One Bryant Park (the Bank of America Tower).

I only saw the trailing pieces of glass after it, I had no idea what fell. Needless to say, people gathered at the window, spread rumors that a window washing platform fell off (wrong!!!!)....

Wow, I ordered a whole host of stuff from Amazon..from Acai juice, Dirt Dog, a whole mess of graphic novels, a 401(k) book, USB flash drives...damn...I need to budget.

Ah, a CD I wanted came in the mail "Playboy Jazz After Dark"...it's actually one of the great jazz CD collections, not some porno.

Ah yes, this week will be a week of hangouts...from Tuesday night...

Okay, finished my chores, Scooba's done with the chores. Let me tell you walking down from the West Side of 51st Street to see if a restuarant is open for my hangout with my friend on Tuesday night was fun...then I walked all the way down to 14th Street to buy two trash containers, silicone caulk, blue painter's tape (to re-do my horrible caulk remodeling...

Okay...so I went to the Sunburnt Cow with my friends, and that Cooper's Pale Ale was refreshing. However.....I have a bit of a confession to make.

Drinking beer is not really my strong suit...half a bottle of Cooper's Pale Ale somehow make feel not so good, and I was profusely sweating tonight (the humidity or heat didn't help either). I left abruptly (and politely).

The...

Last night, and tonight, I'm cleaning with the Scooba. How did I feel about the Scooba? I love it! First of, it cleans by itself with minimum fuss. I still have to supervise it though, it got tangled up in wires, and in some cases, it got stuck at the bottom of my shelf (the Scooba is 5 inches height, while the space was 4...

Hello all! Thanks for your comments on my late blog last night! (I know I was half-asleep when I typing things down, apologies for any mistakes that I might have typed down.) The iRobot Scooba is fully charged and rarin' to go, all I have to do is move my furniture out the way and watch it clean my apartment.

The Scooba supposedly does little...
