It's almost the weekend. What are your plans?
I'm going to see Westbound Train tonight, might take the metro into town Saturday, and then I have band practice on Sunday.

1. Book four nights in New Zealand here:
Palm Beach Bungalows

Buy one each of the following (for the trip):
Braun Series 7- 790cc Pulsonic Shaver (and because I really, really, really need to replace my 15-yo Braun shaver...;))
Cowon S9 16 GB Video MP3 Player (and plug-in recharger)
AKG Acoustics K28NC Noise Cancelling Headphones (or the Sennheisers, next)
Sennheiser PXC 250 Active Noise Canceling Headphones
Travel Voltage Power Converter Adapter 220v/110v 110v/220v
Universal International Travel Power Plug Adapter
Canon PowerShot SX200IS 12 MP Digital Camera

The camera I'll get at a local shop (because they are a great shop and I love to support local small businesses when I can.) So I'll likely be spending the rest of the weekend learning how to use the damn thing! :P

9. Cleaning house today.
It's pouring here----and has been, which is fine with me as I love rain. But my house it trashed, and I have company coming for dinner tomorrow, then hope to relax Sunday. The cat just puking on my rug, not hardwood floors, is not helping.

10. Need to start packing for vacation....
So that will be an ongoing thing... Plus, grilling with friends tonight and Sunday... Weather-depending, might go for a long-ass bike ride one day... And at some point I have to get together with a friend to rehearse the music for his Easter Cantata (he's a choir director for his church, and I agreed to play guitar for him).
