Fun Times

Well, things have been good with me. Not a lot going on but thats ok for the moment. I had dinner with Melissa and Keri the other night which was very nice. We has sushi and miso soup. It was nice to see them both for awhile. After dinner we went and walked around Sports Authority for a bit. When we were leaving I found I had a flat tire so they were very nice and gave me a ride home.

I fixed up my tire the next day after work and all is well. Last night I went and say Dragon Wars at the theater. It was an interesting movie. The plot was great, the special effects were awesome but the storyline sucked. They jumped around a lot in the beginning and skimmed over a lot. The end was interesting too... If you watch it, where exactly does the end of the movie take place? How does he get home? just odd... It could have been a really good movie but its lacking.

Today I'm off for a bit. Gonna grab lunch and ride my bike around. I got $100 dollars Apple store credit cause I bought my iPhone early so I'm going to stop and see what I wanna get. I picked up 3 audio book from iTunes. They were all on sale, well that or price dropped, from what I've seen them before. I got Eragon, The Restaurant At the End of the Universe and The Golden Compas. Should give me a few months of listening/reading :-)

Tomorrow I'm going in to work to help out. There is a meeting I'm going to help facilitate. Originally they thought there would be maybe 20 people attending but it turned into 80. It more Project Management stuff but sense my department has been through it already I'm helping out. I get a "float" day to take at another time, but who knows when that will be :-/

Long Day

Its been a long couple of days. I've had a head cold which has made things a little blah... Now mix that with a lot of meetings at work and  you have my life for the past 3 days. Lots of fun huh? Its not all bad, I get to have my coffee in the morning and enjoy the wonderful weather :-) I people watch and listen to one of my audiobooks on my iPhone. I'm listening to The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy at the moment.

After work isn't bad either. I've been trying to organize some stuff on my computer and I'm still learning all that it can do. I'm playing with iMovie and iDVD from the iLife package. The two pieces of software let me make movies out of pictures or video clips and then organize them into a DVD that will play in a standard DVD player. I also got Skype installed recently. I knew about it, and had used it, but that was YEARS ago and boy has it gotten better. I can talk to my dad over the internet and it sounds just like on the phone, if not better. And we get live video too!

Hello :- )

Well, not much going on at the moment. I've been going to a tun of meetings at work. Lots of projects going on, not much in the line of programming though. Kinda a pain actually. Just lots of work that isn't really what I want to be doing.

I've got dinner plans tomorrow though. It should be a good time. I'm meeting up with Melissa and Kari. Not sure where we will go but anyplace is just fine. I got a letter from Tera the other day. She seems to be having a good time in Gambia. Learning a lot about the culture and the language. Jamie graduated her officer training and is on her way to getting a private pilots licensee. The government pays for the training, but its up to Jamie to get it all done. Anastasia emailed me the other day, I need to email her back. I'll be doing that as soon as I'm done here. I've tried calling her but it just hasn't worked out...

I talked to Holly a bit the other day with some text messages. I've kinda slacked with the friends in PA this last little bit. I need to give Chrissie, Holly and Stacy a call to see how they are all doing. 

As for now, I'm making dinner - a steak - and gonna eat soon. After that a bit of TV and probably bed :-)

Dinner and Catching Up

Its been a few weeks sense I got to see Melissa, her family was in town and we were both a bit busy. But the good news is I got to see her tonight. We went and saw The Simpsons Movie and grab dinner. We ate at The Cheesecake Factory. We had a lot of little and some big things to catch up on so it made for a really nice evening. 

Update

Its been awhile sense I posted, but not a lot has happened. I'm
finishing up a big project at work. We are transitioning a lot of
little tasks from IT back to their rightful owners. You would think
that of would be easy but some people just don't want to do their own
work.

Regardless, its just about done. We have our last meeting with
everyone together. Its a lessons learned meeting. After this meeting
then all the other groups have all their tasks back for good.

As for fun stuff, not sure what's going on this weekend. Melissa is on
another island with her visiting family. Jamie is just about done with
her I'm hoping to meet up with some friends on Monday and I want to
catch a movie too.
