Catching up...

Man, blogging is hard work. A few friend requests on Facebook went un-returned... sorry about that. I might catch up, I might not. I tried to put Julie down for bed, but she cried. I can't stand that, so I let her sit on my lap as I used the computer. She wanted to bang on the keyboard... I also can't stand that, so I put her on the ground... she turned off the power strip...

My dad and his wife came into town this past week, and we had a cook out... Grandma Deb already sent out pictures... I'm so bad. I really really need to get on this picture stuff.

At least I forwarded the pictures to my Mom. I need to call her, I was supposed to give her a call on Thursday, but my dad came into town, and I've been busy. You know how it is with two kids under two...

Work might get even better. I might have an opportunity to transition into more of an Application Support role, from the Document Control role I'm playing now. We'll see how that goes.

I'm still pretty stagnant on the whole media center/DVR/Linux thing. New seasons start up soon... I did get around to reading a plot synopsis for the last episode of Smallville that I missed, so I'm totally up to date now.

I have my new character on World of Warcraft up to 26. I'm enjoying it, and enjoying crafting and selling stuff a little more than I did the first time around... maybe I'll be able to afford a mount, LOL. This LCD is nice, but 1024x768 really cramps my style. I think I may just save up money... pay off my other bills, then get a MacBook Pro and a large LCD monitor. LOL. I can dream, can't I? I did find a bluetooth mouse for my PowerBook, but it is made my Microsoft... probably a no-go. At Staples it was on sale for $80 from a usual $100. Bleh.

Hold up... phone call... argh... another 1-800 call with no response. We must have gotten on some automated sales line or something. Might be time to do some more screening, or at least get that thing that lets you look and see who's calling on your computer screen, so I don't have to get up to be disgusted.
