Hola amigos!  I know it’s been a while since I rapped at cha…

So I discovered something I guess I already knew…since I have a 60GB portable flash drive, I can keep all my files on it and just use the laptop’s hard drive for games and such.  It’s quite a discovery, since I only have an 80GB hard drive on my machine itself.  So I moved all my documents, music and movies to the flash drive and reloaded them onto iTunes.  And what do you know…it works just fine.  Just re-sync the iPood and I’m done.  Pretty cool there.

And just when I thought I was getting more coordinated with myself, I was taking the trash down to the street on Wednesday night and feel down a couple steps, landing hard on my knees and skinning one pretty bad.  After nearing crying from the pain, I had to laugh.  I mean, it was one of the single most clutzy things I’ve every done.

The company Christmas (sorry Holiday) party is tomorrow night and a big group of us are going in a limo…with pre and post game cocktails at our place.  It should be quite the shindig.  Pictures and story at 11.

And I have NO Christmas shopping done yet.  Does anybody know a good gift for $40 I can get for this party I’m going to next Friday?  I’m serious.

It’s simple folks.  To have a ‘greatest hits’ album, the songs on said album must first be great.  The recently reacquired “Hall and Oates: Greatest Hits” album is such an album.

So as many of you know, I work in an Admissions capacity for an online college here in Birmingham.  I’ve been here for 13 months so far, and I really enjoy the people I work with and where I work.  We have organized happy hours from time to time, and we’ve done softball as a group, and many outings.  Well, for the last few months, as we’ve grown, I’ve been led to believe by many that I’m in line for a management position here.  I worked in management for Cingular Wireless for a few years, and so I’ve been holding out hope that when the next promotion comes (probably in December), I would be in line to get it.

There are several things that are leading me to think that this will happen, but there are a few things leading to think it might not happen right now, and so in an effort to get myself into a better position professionally, I recently sent my resume into another company for an inside sales management position.  It would be a similar job to what I did at Cingular, just not at a communications company.   My interview is tomorrow.

FYI - Do NOT see “Match Point” with Jonathan Rhys-Meyers and Scarlett Johannson.  Terrible movie.

Hey guess what…Thanksgiving is coming up.  Yay food!

In case you haven’t heard yet (or you live under a rock, totally cool btw), the trailer for next summers blockbuster superhero action movie, Iron Man, is out!  Most of it is footage they showed at ComicCon this year, with a bit of ol’ Ironface flying through the air at the end.

If you want to revel in all the Iron Man goodness, go to http://www.apple.com/trailers/paramount/ironman/ and click on your trailer of choice.
