Anyone else off of work today? I ran outside the base here real quick into what we call the "alley". Well there's tons of little shops there and a few do custom woodwork for real decent prices. So printed out a picture of a small cabinet, the montegue end table to be exact, and asked a couple if they could make it. The one guy that I heard is reputable said "no I don't trust the woodworking skills of my men to make it air tight enough for you to be happy". Least the dude was honest because the other guy I asked said yes and it can be made out of whatever wood I want. As far as I was told by the man reluctant to make it, they only can get beech wood, no spanish cedar or mahogany. Which means the other guy was lying.

Also on my trip out there I saw the same guy selling cigars. His little table says "real cuban cigars". His cohiba boxes are the worst attempt at counterfeit I've seen. They looked to be printer paper with some sort of a cohiba motif wrapped around the lid. Next time I go out there I'll snap a pic and hopefully not get stabbed.

I'm off today too, actually I'm off all week! We get a week off from school here in NY for Presidents week. I'm in the middle of ripping carpeting off of a stairway in my house, I'll try to finish that up today. Whoever installed it used a boatload of staples, geeesh!

All I'm doing now is sitting here in my dorm room smoking a Monte Media Noche and looking up ways to spend money on cigars. I figure I'll concentrate on spendy hard to get stuff now because when everyone is paying 50% tax these will REALLY be out of reach for me then.

I had to work today, unfortunately. I guess public schools just don't care about Presidents' Day. Grr.

I wish I could have watched birds all day. I'm super-jealous.
