Today I mowed the lawn for the final time this year, I hope. It's still growing a bit and it has never been this green at this time of the year. It does look nice considering September and October it was a bit brown ( Read more... )

I received today the iPod that I won in the contest. I was very happy to see that it's an iPod nano and not an iPod classic. Why. I want the small size of the nano for traveling and I've erased more than a few hotel keys with the strong magnet in the mini ( Read more... )

Today at work I was having a major case of writers block. To be honest, I’ve had it all week. I’m trying to write a stupid nomination for something and I’m writing about stuff I have not clue about and it shows ( Read more... )

Purely by accident I found my missing MetroCard and Oyster Card. It was in the second place that I looked, a pocket of a piece of luggage. I know I've looked in that pocket a few times since too. I was simply putting the bag into another bag when I saw it in plain sight ( Read more... )

I've spent most of the day trying to find my Metrocard (NYC subway) and Oyster Card (TFL). I was thinking of going to NYC to shop at the meca of photography, B&H photo, but the crappy weather changed my mind. The last time I renenber seeing both was in Oxford.

I've very much ashamed of myself. I'm stupidly doing a "Mileage Run" to keep my lowly Silver Elite Status with Continental Airlines (Sky Team Elite Status too). What does that mean. I'm taking a trip I don't need to take at a low cost to get the miles I need by the end of the year. So if anyone cares, I'll be in London 7 December and 8 December ( Read more... )

Pricey but it looks ever so cool with the glass edge and the "glowing" Sony etched in the glass. I've been playing and adjusting it all day long. Everything looks great. Too bad I don't have much High Def. content ( Read more... )

Well nothing really new at work this week except finding out what's been going on from the grape vine. I personally think I should hear about this stuff from the company an not from people who use to work for the company. Not a peep from management of this whole mess they've got themselves into. Yes we all blame them. The two company conference ( Read more... )

Work really has be down at the moment. I guess I should be happy I still have a job. A lot of people were made redunant Friday and I think some more on Monday too. I'm glad I'm hiding out in Fairfax again next week. I've survived this round and surprisingly one of the people I suspect dislikes me the most is one of my champions (no I don't have ( Read more... )

It seems I haven’t been home much lately. Here’s what I’ve been up to ( Read more... )
