Purchases

I've ordered all of my stuff which I've decided to buy (obviously). I'm totally psyched about it. Everything together cost $739.79. But I think it's a fucking value considering what I'm getting:



Sony PlayStation 3 Slim



PS3 Remote



Killzone 2



Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots



Samsung P3



P3 Case




Altec Lansing Backbeat 906 Bluetooth Headphones


Everything should be here by the end of the week, or the first week of September at the latest. The PS3 Slim is due to be released on September 1st. When I originally placed my order for it on Amazon, they said that it was out of stock and that it would be delivered sometime between August 29th and October 5th. However, I received an email about 30 minutes ago saying that it would be delivered on September 1st. I'm so fucking stoked. The P3 is estimated to get here tomorrow. I feel like it's the best Christmas early!

My friend Apron downloaded Third Eye Blind's new album, Ursa Major, and uploaded it to his online hard drive. I was able to download it yesterday at the library, and I'm in love with it. As with their previous albums, it's damn brilliant. I'm completely obsessed with the song "Dao of St. Paul".

My mom, sister, and I went to northern Virginia today for a dentist appointment for us, and an orthodontist appointment for my sister. After the dentist visit (which went better than usual, haha), we stopped at a neat thrift store called The Bargain Loft, where my mom and sister got a few things. We also stopped at what we called, "The Bread Store" in Herndon, where we used to live. It's really called Great Harvest Bread Co. The bread is fucking amazing. It was strange driving through Herndon, though. We've been through the town countless times since we left, but we went through some parts we don't usually travel by, today, and it started to affect me.

After we stopped at The Bread Store and The Bargain Loft, we went to my sister's orthodontist. As we pulled into the parking lot, I said, "I have a feeling we're going to run into someone we know." We never did, at the orthodontist's office. We went to K-Mart, afterwards, though, and I saw a guy that used to control the starter and PA system at our swim meets. So, I guess I was kind of right. We did somewhat know him. Or at least recognized him.
