Hard Drive

I finally got an external hard drive.  I’ve been needing one since I don’t have anything backed up on my computer and I fear it will randomly die one day.  It’s so tiny.  They’re making these tinier and tinier (is tinier a word?).  I have it compared to my bidness card.

i’m back!

I’m finally back after my cruise.  It was absolutely amazing and because of it, I was able to cross a couple of things off of my Day Zero Project.  I’ve included a video from the Belize Zoo and some photos.  I just want to say thank you again to my brother for taking me on the trip.  It was so great and I hope that I can do something like that for him one day.

Here are a few of the zillions of photos I took over the week.  I’m hoping to upload them to Flickr or something relatively soon.

Library Love

My current book of the moment is The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes which is part of my Day Zero Project.  I had been wanting to read this for the longest time but it always got pushed back for something else and then the movie came out and I LOVED it, so I thought it was a sign to nut up read it.  The other book is The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls which is my Book Club book this month.  I heard it was a bestseller and people say good things so I’m hoping I enjoy it.  Apparently it’s kind of depressing though.  It’s my literature I’m taking on the cruise with me.

The media selection includes the usual Inspector Morse DVD.  I love me some British mysteries.  Also, a yoga DVD and a audio guide to learn French.  Two of the things in my Day Zero Project.
