Isn't it Friday yet??

-- I think that the amount of money I spend at Target increases exponentially each minute I'm inside the store. If I'm just running in for toothpaste and contact solution, I can be in and out under $15. If we're walking around the whole store, I end up buying some shoes, a pair of earrings, nail polish, etc.

-- Getting a manicure for the wedding was really fun. Would it be terrible if I became one of those people who gets her nails done every week like my boss? (If not, does anyone want to donate to my "Ryan needs a manicure" fund?)

-- As I type, I'm currently watching a "web cast" of some continuing legal education course. I wish I could have done this in college or grad school. I never would have gotten out of my pajamas.

-- Fans of "Lost": check out www.oceanic-air.com. It's a "fake" website for the airline that has all kinds of hidden features (which I just learned the other day from Sv are called "Easter Eggs") Way too cool. I can't wait until next season.

-- Since when did concert tickets become so expensive? Pavilion seats to see Coldplay were $66.00 plus an $8.00 "Conveneince Charge." ("Convenient? Really? For whom? You know what would be even more convenient than charging me $8.00? Maybe make the price of the ticket something I could afford!) Even the lawn seats were $36.00 and I am MUCH too old to sit on the lawn. On a related note, pick up or download Coldplay's new CD "X&Y." Good stuff. Very good stuff.

-- Song of the day (actually, song of every Thursday in honor of "The OC"): "California"- Phantom Planet.
