The list of things to do is getting shorter – so far this morning I have:
:: Done laundry.
:: Added another Lomo shot to Pixelog.
:: Responded to a few of the e-mails that are waiting for me.
:: E-mailed Erika so I can get ready to finish up the Evites for Boston.
:: Done some of the Blogomania work I wanted to get done before I go.
Now? Now it’s a gorgeous, sunny day outside and I am loading my bag up with film and cameras and we’re heading down to Galveston! Fun, Sun and Sand!
At exactly 9:00 am, according to the caller ID, I received an “Out of Area” call. Evil telemarketers! What, do they have a timer? How could they hit 9:00 so precisely! Evil! Evil, I say!
(Ok, the individuals aren’t necessarily evil. But the telemarketing machine as a whole is.)
While some cameras have the screen on the back that swivels out so you can see yourself as you compose photos for Picture Yourself, the new Minolta Dimage X20 has a mirror on the front of the camera. Nothing like taking it back to the basics! [Via Jish]
I think it’s time to admit that I’ve watched too much Seinfeld lately. I’m starting to think of all of my life experiences, all of my blog reads, everything as Seinfeld moments. Today I had an encounter with toxic glue.
I don’t normally chew gum, but for some reason I snagged a piece of Trident Spearmint gum from my co-worker’s candy tray. I was happily chewing my gum, minding my own business. Then I had to lick some envelopes to seal them. Normally the envelopes have a minty taste to the glue, and I don’t mind licking them. Well, not like I do it all the time for fun, but they’re ok when you have to do it.
Unless you’ve been chewing spearmint gum.
If you’ve been chewing gum like I was, they glue on the envelopes tastes just like plain glue. Like Elmer’s School Glue. Not that I’ve ever tasted Elmer’s glue, uhhh… but you know. Glue. Ick. Gross.
My whole life is turning in to a Seinfeld episode…
There are a bunch of things I wanted to do last night, but by the time I got home I was too tired – I’m amazed I even managed to get one of the Lomo shots posted at Pixelog. (I really love how that photo came out!) So here is my list of things I did not do:
:: Send out the Evite for “H-Town Meets Beantown” on Friday, August 1st. Everyone’s invited, so if you want an Evite, get your e-mail address to me.
:: Send Erika e-mail about the event – guess I need to finalize the location before I send that Evite, huh? (Suggestions anyone?)
:: Edit my submission for Inkblots that I found out on Tuesday I could write. Tuesday to Thursday proved to not be enough time, unfortunately. Maybe next round.
:: Answer the two weeks worth of e-mail I have waiting for me. Wait, almost 3 weeks worth now.
:: Add photos to my Lomohome.
:: Fix the Blogomania webring page.
:: Fix the Blogomania Guest List.
:: Answer more e-mail.
:: Fix the CSS on some of my skins. (Hi Matt!)
:: Clean the kitchen.
:: Finish organizing my bookshelves.
Wow. I have a lot to do over the weekend! But know what I really want to do? Head to Galveston. I have a feeling some of this is just going to have to go until next week.
