Having dinner tonight with Sara and Brenden and Jason and Kristy tonight at the Ground Round.

Haven’t seen either couple for a few weeks so this should be fun.

Hopefully Jason will revert back to his old self, sans chick-TV-mindset that he has picked up in Napoleon!

The Warsaw radio mast at G?bin–Konstantynow near Warsaw, Poland at 645 m (2,115 ft) was taller, but it collapsed on 8 August 1991.

I finally purchased a printer on Saturday to replace my black and white HP 5si Laserjet. I knew I wanted color this time but was waiting for something that would break the bank. I’ve had my eye on the HP 2600n for some time now but at $400 it was a little more than an impulse buy.

This may be one of the biggest upsets this year if Britney Spears actually goes through with it and gives away the alleged sex tape for free.

More power to her if she does. That would leave K Fed with nothing to gain.
