• I wrote a blog about the Oscars on myspace.: I guess because my ‘audience’ there would be more interested in that sort of thing… This whole web thing is getting weird. Need to consolidate my brand. Blarg.

Amanda treated us to dinner here today. The Rivers Ave location does not exactly live up to the rep the older locations have built over the years.

Even Dan’s hand felt sick afterwards.

Later we went to the store and I decided to put my green where my mouth is, so to speak, and replace all the remaining incandescent bulbs in the house with compact fluorescents. This is only part of them. Did you realize that the average american household has 30 lighting fixtures? Mine is above average.

This is how I felt when I realized how much ~30 CF bulbs was going to cost.

So I decided to take a photo of myself every day for a year. I was more inspired by the Noah K thing than by anything else. I’m mostly curious to see if you actually can see my S.A.D. in action (…the answer, so far,appears to be yes). Here’s the first month:

You’ll notice a drastic change somewhere in there — no, no the shaved head, silly! I got a new camera. I love it, but now I’m going to have to go pro again at Flickr, and that will pain me. Also aggravating: waiting on these guys to send me my new 2 gig memory card. Apparently, the “Express Shipping” I shelled out for means “within 8 business days.” Who knew? This is made more annoying by the fact that the camera came with only a 16 MB memory card. Out of the box, the SD600 can take 8 whole pictures at the default settings before the memory card is full. Crazy.
