RED Team: A Teammate's Interests
My Interests:
I love reading and I love books. When I start reading a (story) book, it's like stepping into an entirely different world - someone's life, someone's adventures - and discovering something new. I also like books about spirituality. They simply help you make sense of today's world and deal with crap (excuse my vernacular) that comes your way. You probably think I'm a nerd by now...
I like to watch movies, especially comedies, since I cherish every opportunity to laugh and I love theater, especially opera and ballet. It's like magic.
I don't watch much TV, but if I do, I watch murder mysteries and crime stories. I guess it's because the bad guy/gal is always punished. It's giving me a sense of justice, even if it's just virtual justice.
Although I am a dog person, my boyfriend and I have a cat, simply because we got adopted by a stray one. She now runs our lives. If I have my mike on and you can hear loud and obnoxious meowing in the background, it's Kitty!
I like doing yoga. I dragged my boyfriend to yoga classes. I purchased passes (so he wouldn't bail out on me) to Dahn yoga. There is Hatha yoga, there is Vinyasa yoga, so I didn't think twice about Dahn yoga. It turned out it's not Indian yoga, it's Korean yoga, sort of like a martial arts warm-up. Kind of weird, but my boyfriend likes the workout.
I can't wait to go back to Downward-Facing Dog, Warrior and Sun Salutations.
Most of all, I love to travel, but I don't do that nearly enough. There is the question of dough travel requires... Also, Americans unfortunately believe in only 2 weeks or 10 days of vacations. If I win the lottery, I'll go around the world. Speaking of vacation time, I actually work full time in an investment bank. Yesterday I was proofreading an IM, and today I was sending out some NDAs and LOIs. Not to be confused with LOLs.
Last but not least, I have just started Corporate Systems and Accounting at Boston College and I love it!

Hardware systems review
CompaqPresario Desktop / AMD Athlon™ II Processor / 2GB Memory / 500GB Hard Drive
Sale: $329.99
Compaq, having been bought by HP, is a great affordable alternative to the popular
Dell. This is a very basic model, good for web browsing, some basic home office
functions. It's quite fast and has good memory. Only major drawback is it can't be
used with wireless Internet. Other than that, it's good value for your money.

HPPavilion Slimline Desktop / AMD Athlon™ II Processor / 3GB Memory / 640GB Hard Drive
Sale: $399.99
Only $70 more than the Compaq, this HP model offers an additional GB of memory and a better hard drive. Bigger storage capacity and faster performance. Nice home computer, its slim size fits nicely in a compact space. Only major flaw is there is limited expansion space. Overall, it’s not a bad computer for the price.
GatewayDesktop /Intel® Core™ i3 Processor /8GB Memory /1TB Hard Drive
$629.99
This Gateway, with 8GB of memory and 1TB of hard drive is a real power house. This is a very fast computer with lots of memory. It has 10 USB slots and lots of room for expansion. It is also very quiet. Great computer for the price.
