Today I was stranded at work for awhile during the apocalypse, at least that's what it seemed like when it went from sunny and hot to dark and pouring. It was nothing compared to last summer, though, when at one point the sky turned dark green and it felt like 10 o'clock at night. We may not get the sheer number of tornadoes, but we definitely get those big midwest storms.

So during my time being stranded at work I actually got a lot accomplished. I've been working on two different Java programs the last two days and both are coming along well. I'm forcing myself to learn Java Swing in the process rather than cheating and using the CS101 Canvas, but you don't really care about that. You'd rather hear about the new New Found Glory CD that came out today.

Well you'll just have to wait, because after a lunchtime trip to Vintage Vinyl (pre-apocalypse), I decided that $15 is too much to pay for a CD when it's on sale at Amazon for $12. The only problem with that rationale is that by saving $3 shopping at Amazon I will invariably pick up some of the other items in my wish list which will end up costing me even more money.
