    Excuses

    Work has been busy. Summertime always results in people spending more time being active... some of them making poor choices, sometimes resulting in injury. Aside from work occupying a lot of time, I have not felt much like writing anything.

    Saturday, retired the batphone (nextel) and stood in line (for about an hour) and purchased an iPhone 3g. I spent that evening (and a portion of Sunday) customizing my new gadget and loading it up with useful goods. On my way to work I have been listening to downloaded podcast (of talk radio I miss out on since I am not driving these days), and while on a lunch break I was able to watch part of a downloaded TV show I missed last season. Next, I plan to get my hands on the episodes of Penn & Teller's Bullshit! that I have missed. Good times.

    I saw J the weekend of 21 June. We went to dinner and caught a movie. I tried sushi for the first time in my life and it wasn't bad. I had avoided it up until then, being very reluctant to put anything in the animal kingdom in my mouth in its raw state. After dinner, we went to the early showing of "The Happening" -- which in all honesty I filed under "disappointing". Beware! The Wind Blows! This weekend, if I can break away long enough, I want to see The Dark Knight.

    Sleep, as usual, does not come easy, but overall I feel pretty good. I am reading three books right now, and listening to The Tipping Point (Malcom Gladwell), which was recommended by lotek. (I am not sure if he is actively posting anywhere.)

    I have not yet purchased the Lunchsense containment system mentioned in an earlier post. My lawn has spawned some kind of brown fungus growth which I am trying to get under control (read that as eliminated). That sums it up!
