All right, so after ages and ages of not having a camera of my own (and hence periodically borrowing the cameras of others), I'm finally going to obtain a digital camera. This is My One Extravagance for the season, although it can be argued that it's also sort of a business need -- people may start hurting me if I don't provide pictures of the ( Read more... )

1) I have now watched all the episodes of Dexter, True Blood, and Supernatural that aired during my vacation. (I only actually missed one episode of Supernatural in first-run -- 'Yellow Fever,' which I saw for the first time with Kate -- but I was behind on the others.)

Yesterday, it being Kate's birthday, I accompanied Kate to the State Fair in Sacramento. With her just getting over a migraine and me recovering from stomach flu, we were approximately the right speed for one another, and we had a lovely time. I touched chickens, llamas, deer, goats, sheep, chinchillas, an alligator, a giant millipede, and ( Read more... )

Good idea: not going to work when you have stomach flu.

Bad idea: deciding that you have cabin fever and going out of the house anyway. Because that's never ended badly, ever once.

Good idea: allowing Kate -- who has a headache and is not really up for enthusiastic activity anyway -- to talk you into sitting down to watch the BBC adaptation of ( Read more... )
