Photos

www.flickr.com

Well i did it, wasted my hard (not yet) earned $$ on a flicker pro account. No I'm not going to become a professional photographer but with the loss of my hard drive.. and the freaking pain of opening 8 gigs of photos on my laptop has convinced me to move it offline.. I hope no-one in my family is "on the lam" as I don't plan on putting any restrictions on the photos.. I have always had an ubuntu outlook on digital media.. (excluding personal correspondence..)

Emily's plan...

Well as often is the case I have been letting the little things that don't seem to matter slip from my daily routine. And let other habits grow. One that has not been a factor in my life is diet and exercise. I know enough about nutrition that I could eat well enough. In actuality I have a good diet (other than fast food) but too large an appetite. Unfortunately, for the past 3 years I have let fast food play a larger, and larger role. Not good. Emily has started me today on a diet which is making me sick *gag*. Too girly-ish food for my taste. lol. But unlike attempts in the past I am motivated to continue on, I will just have to plan out a better menu with 'Chez Emily'. As nutritionists and health experts everywhere will tell you, calories in should equal calories out. Or at least that is what the ones without a fad diet to sell say. So with the new dedication to no fast food and actual human sized portions of home cooked meals, I am swimming every night. And a maybe find a good treadmill before fall. I do enjoy cooking and going out to eat, but I will try to stick to the occasional sit down dinner when dining out. On my first day I was stuck on a service call downtown around noon, hungry, with a 'Long John's Silver' starring me in the face. I thought it was commendable that I passed on by that rare treat of battered fish and chicken. Well it will be an experience, and Emily has sworn to cut me down to size.. Maybe by next summer I can fit into the fancy 2XL or even XL TNBC shirts.

My new favorite sudoku site

A very nicely done site www.sudokucombat.com is a great place to play sudoku. I got 11min and 15sec. How about you?

Busy summertime.

There is so much to do and so much going on this summer. School will be here before I know it! We were going over "Dates" last night as a family and one activity seems to run into another. I hope i can get through it. It is also freaking hot this summer. It is every summer in sacramento but i forget every year. I think it will be fun anyway to go as a family to San Diego, it always is. I think i mentioned before that if I move from home it will be to Long Beach or San Diego. (I also changed my profile pic. It is a much better version of me.. Jeff 2.0 )

Stuff

Daily Show Funny... Adobe Flash Funny... Nintendo.. I want to pay you money!! Why don't you like our money? Bring these items to the US. If Wii is going to have SD card space then the DS should too.. And it would be nice to not have to pull out my laptop every time i wanted to check my email. (second picture is the opera browser for the DS)

Great thing about California is..

There are so many things that have me love california. First you have the beach, mountains, grasslands, desert, rainforests all in one state. California Pizza Kitchen.. Well maybe thats not a great reason... but there are new reasons I find all the time. The latest is that Strangers With Candy opens July 7th in 18 theaters nation wide. And 8 are in california. Have a look!

You don't know you miss it 'till its gone

Well shortly after a trip to Disneyland, (the next morning) I turned on my laptop to find it busted. What could I do but blame Those Stupid A$$es TSA. Well its been almost two weeks, and losing my iPod at the same time i've been in true Apple withdraw.. Now I'm back on a Windows PC. Although I'm a fan of windows from a tech point of view, working on it has been a painfull experience. I forgot what it's like to have a PC that will throw up errors, or freeze for a moment, etc.. I had to really work my Powerbook to get any kind of resistance. It's funny, I was telling my new friend Rocky in Long Beach about how I got an Apple because i don't want to come home to a buggy computer after working on computers all day, and it does this. Well enough gushing about my laptop. I haven't posted for a while and though i should get a couple thoughts out before they leak out my ears.
