Musings of a Mac Geek

11th November, 2009. 12:46 am. Back from ACNW 2009

I had a great time. All of my games were fun, the soaking pool was awesome, and it was wonderful to see everyone. It was over way too soon. Thanks to [info]simonepdx, [info]mr_nice_gaius, [info]cochese, [info]coreolis, [info]micheledear, [info]miabarimen, [info]edwinvoskamp, Amber and any Con staff that I missed for putting together yet another terrific Con. I hope to see some of you guys at Ambercon in March!

Current mood: tired.

24th October, 2009. 12:01 pm. For the iPhone users out there

I find myself the happy owner of an iPhone, which of course leads to the inevitable question. What iPhone apps do you find indispensable? Which ones are your favorites? Inquiring minds want to know.

Current mood: hungry.

2nd August, 2009. 11:59 am. Home again, home again

I have an a little under an hour until my flight, and Albany has free wireless, so I figure it's time for an LJ update.

The trip went great, except for the last two days, in which I finally succumbed to the cold my sister and all three of her kids arrived with. As my brother so aptly put it, I was doomed from the start.

The rest of the trip )

Current mood: sick.

22nd July, 2009. 12:46 am. My cats are feeling pissy...literally

Today I discovered that one of the cats had pissed on one of my shoes. *sigh* Either they're annoyed that Bob is out of town right now, or they're annoyed because my suitcases are out, which usually means I'm leaving sometime soon. Or maybe it's both. Whatever the reason, they're lucky I don't know which one of them did it....

Current mood: tired.

13th July, 2009. 5:14 pm. Clearly my mind doesn't want me to eat healthy

I peeled and cut up a bunch of carrots last night so I would have something healthy to snack on at work today. Where are they? Still in the refrigerator at home. *sigh*

Guess I'll just have to get something at the Townie party.

Current mood: hungry.

10th June, 2009. 11:41 pm. Bits of Elena wisdom

While we were in Southport today, the family stopped at a corner store that sold books, candy and stuffed animals. I was with Elena, who's almost six now, and she stopped to look at some stuffed alligator toys. Thinking this was an opportunity to tell her of a neat fact, I said, "Did you know that alligators hatch out of eggs?" Her reply? "They're reptiles...of course they hatch out of eggs." I love it.

Current mood: amused.

1st June, 2009. 3:20 pm. ACNW Roommate?

Anyone looking for a roommate at ACNW this year? I've requested a twin, just in case, but it's often cheaper to split a double queen with someone (if it's a gaming suite), and the rooms are bigger.

Current mood: full.

31st May, 2009. 10:34 pm. Yard/garden update

Yesterday I spotted the first peony flowers of the season. Yay! The last two years, they bloomed while I was out of town, so I'm really happy to see them. It also looks like the foxglove I got from [info]djinnthespazz is going to flower again - it didn't bloom the first year after I planted it, so I thought it bloomed every other year, but I guess I was wrong. The lamb's ear I got from [info]shekkara is also shooting up like it's going to flower. The purple bearded iris bloomed and faded just as the yellow bearded iris came into bloom - it's funny how they never bloom at the same time. The phlox is also fading now, but the clematis, Grace Ward Lithodora, Birch's Hybrid Campanula and Max Frei Geranium are all flowering. And the Columbine Viola is still going - I've got to plant more violas next year. I love spring!

More planting stuff )

Current mood: sore.
