Yeah, I got back from Michigan in the early evening of Saturday. As usual, not much time to update.

If you didn't watch my LJ, we ended up leaving a day earlier. My grandfather ended up in the hospital with some form of pneumonia shortly before our visit, and because of that, we didn't really do the grandiose out-to-eat-dinner thing. We visited him at the hospital, and they played Mahjong a little bit, but that was pretty much it.

There were some random moments, like the fact that they had a pair of Topway DDR pads for some reason, and wanted me to hook it up for them. Naturally, they lacked anything to put the pads into, except the PC (they were they dual PSX/serial or parallel type plugs). I used my PS2 there for the time being, but I left them a list to buy a used PSX or PSone with Konamix if they wanted to set something up themselves.

When I got back, started working on Gravion some more. Also, as I had failed to mention it before, my bro and I purchased a 15" flat-panel LCD TV for the breakfast area for my parents. We initially purchased and actually set up a Samsung LTN1535. But on Sunday, my brother decided he wanted a superior model to that, and went ahead and returned it. Unfortunately, the model he wanted was out of stock, so we're short one TV for now.

Monday, I came into work for the last time. I was there for the purpose of helping break down the registers and whatever else we needed to unhook from the area. Pulled off some rather dumb antics with the empty sales floor, too. Not sure if I want to mention exactly what here...

Somehow, I walked away from the store with the RF amplifier (which was used to get the signal from the VCR strong enough to output it to 7 different TVs), one of the TVs (a 25" Sanyo set with only RF input), the office chair we used in the back (which actually belonged to Calvin, but he didn't have room for it at his place), a Suncoast-branded clipboard, and a whole bunch of cables. Only the TV really cost me anything - and it was only $25. Would have taken more if I could actually safely fit more than one in my car.

The TV ended up replacing the older 19" Sony set that was in the master bedroom. The Sony is now in my room, though I'm not sure if it's going to stay there.

Fell asleep at some point, but can't remember for how long, but ended up coming down here to work on more Gravion. Need to finish this batch relatively soon, so I don't think I'll be doing much else for a while. Considering this is now my sole source of income, I probably need to be more careful about purchasing.

Naturally, I still need to put in another CD Japan order. x_x
