Until further notice, I’m naming him Fernando Torres.

Even though it's David Villa on the wallpaper. :D

After months of hesitation, I finally went ahead and bought a netbook last weekend. It’s the Asus 1005P, and I’m really pleased with it so far. The keyboard layout might take a while to get used to though (although it’s not a particular flaw of this model). After two days of scouring Cyberzone in SM North EDSA, I ended up with what was most probably the best price for the model. I also got a Smart Bro modem, which I’ve only used for two days but has been a bit on the temperamental side–sluggish yesterday, but pretty awesome this afternoon.  But all in all my coffee afternoons have been a lot more productive now. And that’s good.

Speaking of which–on two occasions now, my friend Ned has randomly dropped by the Starbucks that I go to and found me there, even without knowing beforehand.  Haha. So it’s like my default location now? Like Chuck said, we have officially become the people we hated in college. LOL.

I’m watching FOX a lot these days. I’ve been into Bones for a while now, but lately Criminal Minds too. At first I didn’t like all the frowning that they did on the show LOL–especially from Thomas Gibson, who used to be Greg in Dharma and Greg–but the storylines are pretty awesome so it grew on me. Also, they started showing the episodes with Joe Mantegna. He’s really cool. He was in the Godfather III, and he voices Fat Tony on the Simpsons.

But if you're like me, you most probably remember him best from Baby's Day Out. :D

I should stop watching these things late at night though, seeing as how I’m such a scaredy-cat. (You know how parents try to make you get over your fear of ghosts by saying you should fear the living and not the dead? Well after watching all these crime shows, I’m scared of both. -_-;) I’ve actually been getting spooky dreams.

Ugh, speaking of spooky.

As much as I love the fact that people are actually bothering to read my blog, I have to ask–do you guys ever check a person’s blog, like, 8 times throughout a day? *wince* My stats tracker has been getting a ton of regular hits from a particular user and it’s bordering on, IDK, excessive? And none of my close friends use that browser or internet provider so I’m guessing it’s no one I know IRL. =_=

(Statcounter screenie here. Check out the logs for July 25.)

I think I’ll friends-lock my Twitter for a while. If only because I have been watching a lot of scary crime shows lately.
