Lazy Saturday

Was tempted to try for a sock-less Saturday but the lack of food made it kind of difficult. Plus it was kind of a nice day.

Played some AC II.

Went to Famous Daves for lunch. I got a smiley face this time instead of a STD.

Watched a bunch of random TV while I worked on some ECCC stuff and getting my new online photo site up (www.osentowski.net/Photos). I still need to re-add all of the descriptions and add tags to the old photos and add all of the photos from the last 3 years.

Watched the new Astro Boy movie. I really liked it. It was surprisingly non-anime.

Heelys' are Dangerous

Was not nearly as productive as I wanted to be at work. Will need to finish up over the weekend. Sad me :(

Ever since I read Secret Wars some 25+ years ago when I say the James Rhodes Iron Man pop out roller skates, I have craved the hidden roller skates. Today that dream is a reality when my adult sized Heelys arrived. After just about an hour of practice I must say that those freakin' kids make it look much easier then it is!!

Played some more AC II.

Caught up on Caprica.

Favorite thing I saw today: 9x - 7i > 3 (3x-7u) Solve for i

I have three projects that I want to get done this weekend plus at least 10 more pages of my SoO for WaF. I am going to guess that I will get none of them done.

FKA: Nexus One Day

Got my new phone. It is a Nexus One from Google. I like it but I (of course) have a few issues:

- No native Exchange calendar synch. I have bypassed by having my Outlook synch with Gcal.
- Contacts sorted by first name with no way to change.
- Changing a contact in the phone changes the sort order of the contact in Exchange to First name. This is really unacceptable!!!
- Having difficulty getting used to the touch screen keyboard.

Went to the Stop again and talked with George for a bit.

Came home and played some ACII again. I would really like to finish this weekend so I can start FFXIII with a clear conscience.

Watched Damages and Justified. Both were good. I did not love Justified as much as tweeters did, but I liked it a lot. I think my biggest problem is my disliking of Olyphant. He tends to be the worst thing in everything he is in.

I here by declare that tomorrow will be slackless Friday!! I must get some actual work done!!!

Trying to decide what my new overly repeated saying will be. Current contenders are:

- Catch Phrase!
- 'Tis what the maiden proclaimed!

Off to read some trades. I still have some from last week to read.

St Paddy's Day - Belated

Made the long trek to TCA. Got back in time to enjoy a little bit of Comic Wednesday.

Watched The Invention of Lying out of Netflix queue. I really liked the premise but felt the execution was lacking. My biggest problem was that this alternate earth not only could not lie, they had no impulse control. I guess walking up to someone and not saying "Wow you are a fat ugly man" could be considered a lie of omission but that is just pressing it in my opinion.

Decided to forgo an offer to go out drinking in an effort to get over my brain mushy-ness. An effort that since I am writing this belatedly is know to be a failure.

Today was a good day

Slept in. Had Teriyaki. Costco was in to push memberships so free cookies and muffins. Left Early.

Hit Best Buy and picked up Princess and the Frog and Astro Boy. Two movies I really want to watch.

Hit Toys R Us. They were out of the Chrome Lego Stormtroppers. They were giving them out free with Lego Star Wars purchase, but they gave them all away on Sunday. I could not have gotten one anyway because of ECCC.

Stopped at the Stop and had a good discussion with MB which continued when NB showed up. Then when they left talked to Friday until I realized that I had been there for 3 hours. Totally not a waste of time.

Drove to the Everett TRU only to find that they two were out of the Chrometroppers. But as I was checking out the latest action figures, one of the employees found one and presented to me. I then went and picked up the latest TRU exclusive set instead of the cheap battle pack I planned on purchasing.

Spent a ton of money online today. Ordered an AT&T compatible Nexus One and a new pair of shoes.

When I got home I watched a little TV (Chuck, House, Lost) while I worked on sorting my photos. I was planning on moving my photos to ZenPhoto that my hosting company provides until I discovered that you can not rotate your photos. At this point my options are to pre-rotate, self install zen photo, switch to a no me hosted solutions or stick with Gallery. I am leaning towards the self install of ZenPhoto since I really liked the interface.

It has now been a week since I bought FFXIII and I have not removed the plastic yet. I wish I was not so busy a work so that I could take a "sick" day and catch up on stuff.

Ides of March - belated

Slept in (for me). Dropped B off at his house. Dropped stuff at home and watched Amazing Race. Went to work on my day off for a 2.5 hour meeting on my next project (codenamed WaF). Dealt with some of the aftermath from last weeks layoffs. (3 people on Friday) Went home and managed 3 years of digital pictures on my various devices while watching unremarkable TV. Early bed time...

Avoided lunch with Brutus.

ECCC day 2 - Belated (Lets see any of you jokers do better)

Last day of the con. Slower but still busy. If all the 2 day-ers showed up, then Sunday was close to Last years Saturday. Actually had to make time for me to hit the floor since it was pretty steady all day.

Picked up the Evil Inc. Trades. My only purchase of the Con.

Slightly pathetic I have nothing personally exciting from the show today. :)

Went to Gameworks after the show with the staff.

Went to Dragonfish after Gameworks with the gang and Froggy. Actually drank quite a bit. Was ahead of B, until I pulled the plug. Who by the way does snore (at least while drunk), but it is so little compare to the brother D (and probably me) that it could be considered background noise.
