Webtainment ...

There are some interesting things to see on the Internet. Recently I highlighted the webcomic PVP which is one of the web comics that I can readily identify with. Then I found another webcomic called The Mows. It isn’t as funny but it is interesting and it is linked at the bottom of the page. Through these sites I have found some other interesting, what I will now refer to as webtainment, items. The first is called What the Muffins?. What the Muffins? is a web sitcom about two geeky guys who share a house with a cool guy. It is all explained in the pilot episode. Yes the acting is not fantastic, the jokes need some work but hey these guys are doing something creative. And after two episodes so far it seems pretty clean and accessible to a wide audience. I’m adding What the Muffins? to my links, so enjoy.

The computer is almost back up to speed, unfortunately by switching to a new computer many of the programs that we had been enjoying on the old computer are no longer accessible to us, like Excel and the complete Windows Office suite. And the full blow versions of Photoshop and Illustrator. Luckily Photoshop Elements is a worthy alternative that I have been using instead. Almost all the music has been transferred, now I’ve got to get all the pictures up on the computer. There is a good tool for cataloging the photos. I’m looking forward to using that since we’ve got to get alot of pictures scanned of Allison and I and our families for our wedding favors. I haven’t explored enough to see if there is also a slide show maker on the computer but I think there probably is something like that too.

Allison and I tried a new restaurant last night. It is called Signatures, we were checking it out to see if it would be a good place for us to have the rehearsal dinner. The food was excellent, but the service a little slow. They also have Thursday night comedy shows there. I’ll have check it out sometime.

Sorting Transformers ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02424 Yesterday I drove Andy to school. Today I walked over with them. I did so not because I didn't think Andy would be safe on their own. Andy has been walking home from school for well over a year so walking to school is the same thing just in reverse. I wanted to see how long it actually took for the walk to go. I of course, over estimated how early we had to head over. The walk itself only takes a brisk 15 minutes. And that is at a modified teenager's shuffle. So Andy can leave the house around 6:25-6:30 and still get there by 6:45 when the doors open to the High School. Good to know. During the day I started one of the projects I've been meaning to start and have been putting off. I'm sorting through my Transformers and getting them ready to sell. I have talked with the guys at Double Midnight Comics about selling them my collection. Not the stuff I have on display and also I am picking out some figures that I want to keep as part of the collectio...

Time with Lexi ...

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02401 Today We watched my sister's dog, Lexi. My sister and her husband were coming back up here from their home and they had boarded the dog. They weren't sure if they'd be there in time to pick her up so we did that for them. We had Lexi for a couple of hours before they arrived and we had dinner together. Lexi was pretty chill for the most part until Torrun came in to the living room to investigate. At first they just looked at each other. Andy grabbed for LEXI's leash and then Lexi tried to go after Torrun. Torrun ended up bolting for the upstairs and we did not see her for hours. James knew enough not to even come down.

Time For Another Change ...

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02402 Andy decided to clean their room today. In so doing they decided that they no longer wish to hang on to their LEGO sets. So, I now have them all and I spent the afternoon disassembling many sets to fit into the one bucket. There were many Minecraft sets in there. What I'm going to do eventually is take what is in the bucket and separate it down to the individual sets that I still have instructions books for. The organizing of that is going to be daunting. I will try and figure out an efficient way to separate everything but I'm sure that will take some time. Andy also decided that they no longer want the piggy bank that was mine. That I am putting into a box for Andy for when they get older and maybe have kids of their own.
