Well, bad news. My Nigerian friend has failed to take the bait. Despite a handful of emails to him, there has been no further contact. It’s really a shame as I was hoping to lead him on for a while, maybe right up to the point of getting him sending me his ‘certified cheque’. It was worth a shot… Maybe he reads this blog! No, I doubt it; it’s just me and mom…

The good news is that I did manage to sell my old PC and my old iPod. The LCD that I was trying to sell got more interest than the other two combined and in the end it’s still sitting here. Go figure. After selling some items on the web, nothing surprises me any longer. I’m happy that I raised enough money to cover two thirds of the cash I dropped on the Media Center.

MiHwa was cool to entire idea of a new PC. This is mainly because it wasn’t a new laptop for her and possibly because I didn’t get the chance to mention it until after I had already bought it. I have reason to believe that this has caused her to try and furnish our apartment entirely with Korean furniture. Very cool. Did I mention she would be buying said furniture in Korea? Something tells me we aren’t getting that chest of drawers on the plane…
