Life or something like it...

First, the family: J & D are doing pretty well. They're currently in a hotel, and the insurance company will be getting them an apartment in the near future. Right now they really don't need much because any stuff they get wil have to be hauled around to wherever they go next. Yesterday hellbob & I took the kids. The original plan had been to go down to the MN Zoo, but the weather said "No. You can't! I am evil and cold and rainy!" So we took the kids to the Mall of America and Camp Snoopy instead.

As for me, I've not been up to much. My class this semester is Advanced Photoshop, but it hasn't really been anything too tough for me yet. Heck, there's been stuff he's teaching us that I've been doing for a while now. But there's also new stuff.

Theoretically I'm still working on finishing the Toronto Con report. Which really shouldn't be too tough. I think all I have left is the CN tower and the drive home. I've also been gradually going back through old journal entries and adding tags. It's quite the pain in the butt, since I've got 3 years worth of random babblings. At least it will also give me a chance to find any broken photo links from back in the day before I had dreamflyte.com.

Less than a week to Serenity! Woo hoo! Can't wait to see the Big Damn Movie again!

I feel like I should have more in my life to talk about, but I really don't. Just been working, trying to watch all the new shows Tivo's recording for us, etc. I'm still completely addicted to podcasts. The ones I never miss are: The Signal, This Week in Tech (TWiT), the MacCast, and Coverville.

Speaking of Coverville, show #129 has to be one of my alltime favorites! It was all covers of rap songs done in different styles. Gin and Juice by Snoop Dogg done in a lounge style! And I totally loved Nina Gordon singing Straight Outa Compton Even if you don't want to listen to all the episodes of Coverville you should make sure you catch that one!

K, since I really don't have much to say & it's almost 1 am, I think I need to go to bed.

I love TWiT. Did you try the video version? Leo looks *nothing* like I'd expected!

what's The Signal (says he, too idle to clicky on link)

LOL! I s'pose you wouldn't have seen him before. I actually used to watch him on tv on The Screensavers before G4 bought TechTV and ruined it. So they all look exactly like I expect them too! I haven't done the video yet though because I usually listen at work and I'm sure that's not allowed! Heck, I'm sure putting iTunes on my computer isn't allowed either, but I'm a Mac person and so i was just tired of using WMP.

The Signal: It is a podcast dedicated entirely to Firefly and the upcoming Serenity movie. Once you watch Firefly you'll understand the addiction and you want to listen to them. :)

which reminds me, I must bump Firefly up the list!

Is there a group going to the movie somewhere?

If you follow Battlestar Galactica, there is a weekly podcast by Ron Moore. He talks about what scenes worked, which didn't live up to what they wanted and miscellaneous other information.

It is synced to the episode (with beeps where you should pause while commercials play).

The podcast link is available in the iTunes Music Store.
