Okay, there are a few people confused as to whether or not the shoes in the picture are mine; no, that's just the only other picture of American Flag Cons I could find through Google. I've never actually seen a pair in real life, let along had the opportunity to buy them.
I decided to go shopping yesterday to get some stuff for my new job. I wanted some new pants, shirts, possibly a pair of shoes (my aim was the pinstrip Cons) and a new bag (my old one is about five years old and falling apart; doesn't look massively professional).
I ended up failing miserably in my goal. I went out for new work stuff and came home with surround sound speakers. The progression was a lot more natural than that, though. I dropped in on Ben at work, and he pointed out how the speakers I'd had my eye on a couple of months ago were now discounted. Combined with his employee discount, they were too cheap to say no to. The beauty part was that the cost got taken out of the money Ben owes me, so in the end I didn't have to fork over any money for them.
So we now have kick-arse surround sound in the living room. My first instinct is to get Dad down here and put on Terminator 2, so I can scare the shit out of him when the cyborg's foot comes smashing down on the human skull in the first five minutes (just as what happened to me when he set up his surround sound 14 years ago).
I've got a bunch of articles I need to write that I'm having a hard time getting started on, and I have to go in tomorrow afternoon to have introductory work drinks and be shown around the office.
Spider-Man 3 tonight! Oh God, Oh God, Oh God! I can't wait!
