i don't even know what week it is anymore

sorry, my friends.  I've been a bad blogger again.  
I've probably lost all my readers at this point, unless you signed up for email notifications, and then you'll actually see this.

Its Tuesday, well, I guess technically Wednesday, since its 1230 pm.  

And so much has gone on.  I've got notes taken about what I need to post, but bed is calling to me, so not too much right now.  

Yesterday I finally set up my laptop.  Its a Mac Book Pro, very nice, big screen, SO MUCH faster than my old computer.  I successfully migrated over my profile from the G4, and ALMOST everything works, except the damn email for some reason.  Going to head to the Mac store tomorrow, and figure that out with some help.  I may also sign up for a membership.  Have you heard of this?  For a nominal fee, you get a year membership and can go to the store once a week (i guess) and have an hour session with a Mac expert on anything. Garageband, iWeb, basic computer stuff, anything.  I'm so doing that.  

Here's a little summary of what I've been up to lately:
  • set up laptop
  • this past weekend was 2 days of Yoga Teacher training again.  It was the Philosophy and Energy of Yoga.  Pretty cool.  2 actual yoga classes, discussion of the Yoga Sutra, and other interesting stuff.  
  • Went to the Red Fez on Saturday night.  Middle Eastern restaurant.  Not bad.
  • Finally saw the Watchmen a week or so ago.  Really freaking good.  Not Dark Knight good, but real close.  It was perfect in terms of the book, and all the damn fanboys can just be quiet.  The changes were necessary.  The acting was fine, excellent in some spots.  Visuals were stunning.  Story is of course excellent.  If you haven't read the Watchmen, I highly recommend you do.
  • Restarted and finished reading Crooked Little Vein by Warren Ellis, one of my favorite authors.  Normally a Comic Book author, this was his first regular book.  GOOD GOD NO PICTURES!!!  It was a good read.
  • Went to the Fuller Museum with my mother to see a craft exhibit that had some really cool stuff.
  • Watched a really cheesy movie called The Ruins about killer vines in the Mayan jungle.  Funny, and had Donnie Darko's girlfriend in it.
  • Watched The Number 23 again.  Still not that great, but I enjoyed it.
  • Have a great Jon Stewart thing to share with you later!
I can't think of anything else to share, really.

oooh, got a letter from Unemployment saying I got a raise!  Yes, my not working is paying off wonderfully, as the stimulus added $25.00 a week to my unemployment pay.  And I get it retroactively!  Love it.  Have to go to some seminar about unemployment too, its part of the deal, but I may be able to get my Yoga Teacher training paid for!  

i know there's more, but I'm done for the night.  Now that I have this laptop, well, the sky is the limit, so you should be hearing more from me!

gnite!

good lord, this is week 9!

  1. That's awesome about the yoga teacher training. I check here periodically since I do not get email updates even though I signed up for them. I'm lax on my blog also. I only have two followers myself. You and one other girl. I hope someone occasionally reads mine but I really enjoy reading yours. Makes me feel close to you since we don't get to talk much.

    Love You Brother.
