Where I've been this week

It’s been an interesting week so far. This will be my first attempt at documenting some of the more interesting things I’ve seen this week.

 

I first took a visit to an unusual bar, populated by many people who should not have been there! That was pretty cool, in my opinion.

 

Then an author I read described how he’ll watch certain movies to the end if he finds them while flipping channels. I don’t flip channels that often, as we don’t subscribe to cable in our house. Hello? It’s the internet age: There are too many different ways to watch the TV shows I want to watch, when I want to watch them, without being tied to the sofa at a specific time on an arbitrary day decided by some network exec that makes way too much money. /rant

 

Being an introvert (not shy, introvert – there’s a difference), I struggle to mingle and get to know people. Apparently, getting out and mingling with other geeks can help.

 

Someone else who apparently needs a different kind of help: some lady who apparently doesn’t like books, but really likes condiments.

 

Then I had a nice blast from the past about the elementary school I attended. I also saw a trailer for movie me and the kids definitely need to see! (Though I think the 3D thing is silly.)

 

I love to read, so this might be handy for me.

 

The eyeglasses I wear darken when I go outside into sunlight to protect my eyes. Now there are windows that darken when it’s warmer outside to keep heat out. My house needs those!

 

Also?  Want!

 

Here are a few good rules to FB by. Here are some other ideas, too. (Those last three I went to find after seeing the first linked article.)

 

I plan on taking the family to see Toy Story 3 at the drive-in tonight, and I’m sure most of these will blow right past us!

 

Have a great weekend, and Happy Father’s Day!

It's June Already?!

Seems like this year just started, but here we are half-way through it already. School’s out for the kiddos and they started VBS this week.  Lizzy is getting so grown up she attended a manga/anime con out of town this past weekend with a friend and she’s volunteering at VBS instead of attending. 

 

Rubi is still kicking gaming-journalism posteriors in her job, and I’m still …here.  My ankle hurts. . I’m back on my “normal” shift at work, which means I’m working when normal people don’t and family events become problematic. But at least I’m not working overnights!

 

I added a new blog to our family “network” of blogs as a sort of clearing house for our stuff.  I’ve posted a bit recently at my book review blog too. I’m going to try to post more often here, there, everywhere
