So, I started using a planner yesterday, yes one of those black leather zipper man-purse things. The past year or so at work I’ve gotten really forgetful and find myself apologizing for not getting things done for people yet. This is mostly due to having 45 things to remember at all times.

You Sank my Cargo Ship!
The MSC Napoli, which was holed in storms on Thursday, was run aground following “serious structural failure”. This happened in the English Channel, near Devon. The ship was carrying some freight for a customer of ours that we were shipping. It’s kinda neat being somewhat related to a vessel sinking over 4800 miles away.

Talk about some cold weather for this part of the country. I don’t think we’ve had weather like this in a few years.
World of Warcraft — Burning Crusade came out today… I didn’t buy it. My account cancels on Jan 29th. I’ve pretty much stopped playing all together, it’s nice not being so stressed out all the time to make raids along with real life deadlines.
