So I figured I'd give you an update on certain aspects of Jesse-life. I'll break things down into sections:

Frivolous Gadget Purchases

Roomba: No regrets here, believe you me. I purchased my Roomba, Cavil, in July. It provides a cleaning of the living room carpet (something frequently needed) when I'm lazy and/or busy (something frequently true). It picks up tons of junk, also works in the kitchen (if I move the chairs out) and forces me to keep the living room floor uncluttered and generally tidy. The Roomba is the future and you should buy one, perhaps from Linens 'N Things, since they're going out of business and selling everything off.

iPhone: One day Canadians will rise up and smite the telcos charging us such unreasonable rates for our service. Until then, I'm just going to try to enjoy my super-useful phone. Data usage is a non-issue, so I can use Wikipedia on the road to identify that exotic and tantalizing fruit or vegetable that just appeared at my local produce market. Maps are also extremely useful. On the downside, it needs to be rebooted every couple of weeks or it starts dropping calls and acting wonky. But I'm used to rebooting computers once in a blue moon to solve stability problems, so that's something I can live with.

General Jesse Facts

Sun: I'm feeling pretty miserable lately, and while fall sniffles are minutely to blame, the big problem is the lack of sunlight. The time change certainly didn't help either. All my free time during the week is spent in the dark. I'm starting to think that I'm going to need to invest in some kind of sunlamp to avoid feeling like I just want to curl up and die all winter.

Pie: Last night I baked an apple pie. I came up with the recipe for this pie while drinking and watching the Food Network. A dangerous combination, I know. I'm close to perfecting the recipe and it shall be known as "Uncee Jesse's Drunken Apple Pie". Who could resist with a name like that, huh?

Work: Its generally slow and we still have no idea where we're moving. Yay.

Christmas: Ugh. I've barely started yet and I can tell that it's going to be a hellish shopping experience for me going forward. Wish me luck.

That is all.

UPDATE: I changed the layout of the ending, I have no idea what I was thinking. I have also completed a huge percent of my holiday shopping in one fell swoop. I feel accomplished.
