Over the past few weeks or so there have been a few new developments of note:
On a whim, I decided to buy the Amazon Kindle Fire. It looks and works very much like the iPad I had a few months ago but at just $200, it doesn't make me cringe about its cost like that did. And for my needs, it suits me just fine. The supposed detriments when people compare it to the iPad are benefits for me. I don't need any camera, let alone two. I don't need 3G, since I don't have a wireless data plan. And the smaller size fits my hand much better than the rather cumbersome iPad.
There's a new tenant in the apartment adjoining my south wall (right where the head of my bed is). He does intrude "just a bit" when, on occasion, he gets busy fucking pussy. Oh he loves to pound it to his bitches while they moan like some porn star. More like slam them, and the bed they're on, right up against my wall. I got tired of it one night so I decided to loudly knock back. Now the banging is against another wall further away from me and much more muted. Thank you Thumper, you stud muffin you!
I introduced Ric to the wonderful world of online gaming and ever since, he's been hooking up with strangers on Steam for all night sessions of Civ V. Now, without the last tendril that held our failing friendship together, we really have pretty much nothing in common and the nights I used to either hang out with him or play online are so quiet I just listen to the crickets.
When I was on Amazon.com I was offered a $30 discount for my purchase if I applied for an Amazon.com VISA so I said, "Why not?". Within seconds I had been approved. So now this makes it my seventh open credit card. What a change from a few years ago when I couldn't get any credit. When it comes to credit, time is definitely on your side. Well, that and paying your bills.
