So this weekend Jess and I went out to run some errands. As we were out and about we stopped by a convinience store to grab some drinks. I got an energy drink, while she grabbed a yogurt smoothie. So we pay, get our drinks to the car and start to drive off, and Jess opens her drink. What happens next is the scary part. Upon opening the drink, the most foul smell we’ve ever smelt crept out of the bottle and filled the car. It seems (after re-capping the drink) that it had expired in 1845…. okay, it wasn’t that old, it actually expired back in June. So they aparently had sold us bad yogurt, and we turned around so we could get our money back. While Jess talked to the cashier, I went hunting and found (just with about 10 seconds of looking) 6 more expired bottles. I’m sure that had I looked more, I’d have found plenty where those came from.

So the moral of this story is this, if you ever buy a drink made with a dairy product, be sure and check the expiration date before opening.

Today is our kitten Mishka’s birthday! Today she turns one year old (which is 24 in human years… oddly enough that’s how old I am!) and Jess plans on giving her tuna and sweet stuff for her present. The cat loves sweet things, melon, strawberries, non-dairy frosting, etc… you have it, she wants it. You can tell me a hundred times that cats don’t taste sweet, but she lives with me, and she will always prove you wrong. Here’s an older picture of her… will update with a new one later:

Besides that, nothing too new. Jess quit her job and has a bunch of interviews, so I wish her well. Also, the fish tank had an issue and I spent part of saturday fighting with a lobster and digging through gravel to fix it. Ugh. Also, I gave myself a nasty little burn when accidentally touching the aquarium heater. Grrr.Also in the last week I finally fixed my computer! It seems that the rear 120mm case fan was causing all my issues. Every BSOD, all the heat issues, etc. The fan would spin, quite fast, but it seems it was actually generating heat, instead of removing it. When I touched it, it actually burnt my finger! Very odd. Well, $10.00 later I have a new fan, and a nice cool running system (it runs about 43 degrees now, instead of the 60+ it was running before). While we’re on the “PC talk”, I got Vista installed and running on my system. While I get plenty of BSODs and the like, it’s not a bad OS, and I really like when Microsoft is going with it!

Let’s see, what else? I’ve been working on a lot of new things for Neowin on my spare time, although no one will see it for awhile. What is it? Not tellin’! Shhhh! It’s a secret! All I can say is, you’ll be happy when you see it.

Okay, that’s it for now… enjoy the rest of your Monday!
