So the eTrex Venture finally arrived yesterday and I’ve got it all ready to ship back to Amazon.

Amazon seriously has the best return policy ever. As long as an item is unopened, you can pretty much return anything for any reason. And the best part is that THEY PAY for the return shipping! I filled out the return form on their site, it generated a printable UPS label for the package, I taped it on the box, and now all I have to do is drop it off at a mail store and not have to spend a cent of my own money.

I also think that Amazon really sucks at shipping orders in a timely fashion. If you choose their crappy free ‘super saver’ shipping or the next level up, they take like a day or three to actually ship your order.

However, if you spend a little more for ‘two day’ or ‘next day’ shipping, your order almost always gets shipped on the day that you place it.

I played it safe with two day shipping on the eTrex Legend, and I should have it in hand next Wednesday! Finally!

I’m sure you’ve heard about this, but Mister Rogers has died.

I grew up with public television, so Sesame Street, 321 Contact, and Mister Rogers were all part of my daily routine.

What a nice guy he was. Cancer sucks.

Great googly moogly, I’m an idiot!

A few days ago I ordered the eTrex Venture from Amazon.

Then today I realized that there’s a $50 rebate on the more-powerful eTrex Legend which would bring it down to the exact same price I paid for the Venture!

Sooo I just ordered the Legend and I guess I’ll be returning the Venture once it arrives. Doh.

I’ve been listening to David Byrne’s Look Into the Eyeball and I like it a lot! I had to listen to the album about 10 times before I really started to enjoy it though.

David Byrne was the lead singer of Talking Heads, so this isn’t exactly music that you can jump right into. Give it a chance and you’ll probably like it too!

An old favorite of mine is still around. I think the whole point of the site is to sell t-shirts. Or something. Actually I didn’t have the patience to sit through it again.

I just realized that the new Zelda game is subtitled “The Wind Waker,” not “The Wind Walker” that I somehow got into my head. That’s funny.

The Wind Breaker would have been funnier.

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night was my favorite game on the original PlayStation. Konami now confirms that the same team that worked on SOTN is now working on a PS2 Castlevania game. Here’s a gay little rhyme that I came up with for the project team-

Keep it 2D

and you’ll have my mon-ee!

Christopher Walken hosts a new episode of SNL this weekend. Even the most unfunny sketches will seem bold and hilarious!

I mentioned that Tammy got me a GPS receiver for Valentine’s Day, right? Well I actually wanted a different model, so we’re returning the one she got me and I just ordered a Garmin eTrex Venture from Amazon. I’m totally pumped. I can’t wait for it to get here so that we can go Geocaching.

Look at how many caches there are in Los Angeles alone!

Well I left work early because of my fever yesterday, but I seemed to be okay by the time I got home.

This morning I’m a little sore in my lower back, but all in all I wouldn’t say I’m suffering from an illness. Yet.
