Notes from a weekend

[mikailborg]

Rain and I finally joined a gym. I think that the benefits of the place, for me, are 1) an air-conditioned, level track to do laps on and 2) a whirlpool jacuzzis to relax in afterwards. I might look into some of the classes too, but thanks to my Borg parts I need to avoid unnaturally repetitive motion and shocks to my hip. So a lot of the exercise equipment is out, and I probably won't be doing jump-rope or step aerobics. :) That's okay; the only things I'm really looking for right now are more stamina for walking / hiking and a smaller waistband.

Went ahead and got "Return to Castle Wolfenstein" this weekend. Pretty game... would probably look better if I had the processor and video card that the game lists as "minimum requirements". That's okay, proper frame-rate is for the weak and helpless *grin*

Got a lot done on a "Star Wars" opening for Sean and Leisa's wedding video this weekend. I think they'll plotz when they see it. Hopefully, I can finish it tonight so we can get back to the actual editing, though I've already captured all the footage to hard drive, so a major chunk is already done. Thank you, meiran, for forcing us to finally get that big HD. :)

I always expect my list of digital media (games, CDs, DVDs) I'm saving for to be huge... but this weekend I compiled my list of books I've been meaning to get. It's ugly, over a hundred dollars, and that's just for the top six books... the posthumous Douglas Adams, an illustrated book on gnomes that I loved as a kid, a book on Cold War espionage equipment, and more. Great Ghu, I love to read.

The earliest appointment I can make to get my car inspected is Wednesday at 4:00 pm. The good news is, I'll be off work by that time. The bad news is, I hope I don't get pulled over for a expired May sticker today or tomorrow...

I wouldn't worry too much about the sticker. Even if you get a ticket, most places are willing to erase it if you come in with proof that you got everything updated. (At least that's been my experience... when I still had a car. :\ )

True enough, I have (unfortunately) been on that road before. But I hope I don't have to deal with any of it at all!
