Is that prettier?
Today's kind of clean-up and errands day. Washed the kitchen floor, did laundry, do dishes a little later (once the floor dries up), get groceries-no fruit for me to snack on, try and get a little work for Evergreen Church's page done, and that'll prolly get me to the evening fine. Def. relaxing with folks tonight if I can help it. It's not all bad here anyways, watching Firefly and Stargate taped from last night and enjoying random music from iTunes.
Bought an anime movie called Appleseed yesterday on a whim. Story was so-so, anime movies tend to always feel rushed to me. Guess when you watch shows you expect a little more development so sets a higher bar. Animation itself was interesting, most of it was CGI with just character close-ups being handdrawn (although at times they looked CGI too). Meshed pretty well but felt rather different then the standard anime. Up to now mostly just combat sequences have been CGI and they've been with large mecha so it looks ok. CGI machines look fairly natural for obvious reasons. Soundtrack was alright but not spectacular.
I've purchased a convertible. This type of convertible is not the vehicle type however. It's a tablet PC that has a keyboard. So it can convert from being a laptop to being a tablet. Very cool. I hadn't really intended to get one but the clinic uses them almost exclusively now (tablets being phased out) and a decently equipped one isn't all that much more expensive or less powerful then a laptop. Plus you can write on them, it's pretty cool. For testing on Friday I got to use Bob's tablet and it's rather fun to be able to write on your computer! So waiting rather excitedly for that.
Hope you all didn't miss it but Brent has been chronicaling his and Lars' adventures at the great, grand, quasi-annual, possibly symphonic General Council of the A/G. Enjoy or something...
So after working steadfastly at a Windows box all summer I've noticed when I come home, a)whenever I go away from my computer I feel the urge to lock it b) I try to control + something rather then cmd + something. I fear IT is slowly creeping into all facets of my computer life.
So there's a long ramble. Believe it or not it's actualy 1551 right now not 1241. This post took all afternoon.
