Addiction
Beth & I have started watching the first season Heroes last weekend via Netflix DVD then I found that we can watch it instantly via Netflix. So tonight we knocked out three episodes from a laptop on the couch. The show is so good that I want to stay up and watch more.

Renters across Manhattan play “Let’s Make a Deal.” I can’t freaking wait til our lease is up
Beth & I have been looking at comparable properties and it looks like we’ll be negotiating our rent this summer. Moving is a hassle but it is worth more...
Favorite Job Task
Proving People Wrong
pet peeve
jimmytony:
When people post every crappy picture off their camera on the internet. Can you weed out the shitty ones please? And multiples of the same shot? Pick the best one you lazy fucks. It’s less work than waiting for 10 of the same to upload.
I believe this one is in my top ten. You would think that the 60 photo limit on Facebook albums with deter that but people just create 3 albums of the...

I’ve filled up the iMac’s 300 GB hard drive. I just removed 15 GB of applications and am now running GrandPerspective to see what else I have here that is large.
My 250 GB external drive isn’t helping when half of it is taken up with an Aperture backup which doesn’t leave enough for Time Machine to do a full backup.
That reminds me that I need to go...
Our bedroom looks like we’re flying out tomorrow with luggage and clothes littering the room. This afternoon was a good time to pull summer clothes and decide what we’re brining. My vacation countdown ends at 5:30 on Thursday which is 3 days and 9 hours away. Woot!
NASHVILLE GOES DARK FOR ONE HOUR
thecoycowboy:
An Earth Hour spent on lower Broadway might have felt like a dark space filled by total energy-use awareness had it not been for the flashing police car lights and cell phone cameras, the number of large vehicles occupied by one or two people, the amplifier-enhanced music floating out of Tootsie’s, the TV crew klieg lights, nearly two floors of office lights in the AT&T...

8ish guys finally took their sets in front of us at the start of the 3rd period. They drove down from Louisville in the storm for the game that was originally scheduled for 7pm. The poor guys didn’t know it was moved to 5pm and missed 2/3 of it.
Flea Market
The flea market at the fairgrounds was a better time than when we went in January. There were many more outdoor vendors with antiques. Here are a few highlights:
Paul’s mom & dad had a set of these cups. I believe Holly has wanted a set but this woman was wanting $60 for each.
The Easter Bunny has been affected by the recession and charges too much money for a Polaroid photo...

Fish & chips tonight, ironically at an Irish place

Flea market tomorrow, new bicycles?, patio furniture? expired medication?
Predators game
Earth Hour after the game, Jo Dee Messina will be playing outside the Sommett Center, many places on Broadway will go dark for a hour. I think...
2 Sandbag Questions
If certain rivers flood so often, why aren’t filled in advance for the next flood?
Can you reuse sandbags?
Balancing Twilight
Beth & I walked up the capitol hill tonight so I could practice shooting some photos at sunset. It was a great opportunity for me to use my new flash triggers.
There were some low clouds so the sunset wasn’t as good as I hoped but it was a lot of fun hanging out up there waiting for the sun to dip and goofing off in front of the camera.
WatchI finally used the apple peeler - corer I received at Christmas. Sit down before you experience this awesomeness.
