Odds and ends

Primary thought of the day: I should take vacations more often. While I sorta-kinda housesit for my mom in two different locations, here are some miscellaneous odds and ends:

  • Trying to get a Compaq PC made in 1997 to do much of anything with the Internet is a royal pain in the ass. Much as I complain about Windows XP, it at least is more manageable than Windows 98.
  • Frequent commenter Alfie and I had dinner and beers on the patio at Huey’s Southwind last night, with a surprise guest appearance by Alfie’s fiancée Annie.
  • My grandparents took me out to Fazoli’s tonight, which was surprisingly good.
  • Lots of recent photos are here, including a large batch from the wedding and a photo of Kamilla and me from last week in Jackson.
  • I’ve been trying to catch up on my movie/TV watching while on vacation; I watched the first season of The Office (US version) on DVD, along with Jenna Fischer’s directorial debut in Lollilove, both of which were very funny.

Anyway, I’ll be spending another 36 hours or so in Memphis, and then I’ll be headed to St. Louis to look for an apartment. Toodles!
