Got my first pay cheque in several years yesterday. Also picked up my first DS game in Mario Kart DS. Brain Age should arrive from an eBayer next week, and Lae was generous enough to send me a copy of one of the Phoenix Wright games (I'm guessing the original).

The concept of having money is so foreign to me, I'm not really sure what to do with it. I don't have enough to do anything terribly substantial yet, but I'm considering the possibilities.

I don't really want a Wii, PS3, or Xbox 360 at this point in time. I'm still waiting on Microsoft to fix their hardware so I'm not extorted into buying a warranty, and the other two need some games. I was thinking I'd save up, and wait for another $1,000 CRT HDTV to go on sale. But since I started working, I'm hardly watching any TV, which is almost as mind-boggling as my having a job in the first place.

This is all fairly banal stuff, I know, but it's somewhat new and fresh to me, and I'm excited about it.
