Things I want

So my birthday is coming up (May 30) and I have had a number of “I have no idea what to get you”s so I'm making a list here:Apple or Emerson swag is always cool. No T-Shirts please. An emerson hat would be cool.

Bench Knife/Bench Scraper these are way useful in the kitchen and I miss having one around.

Shirts with french cuffs are way cool 17″ neck 35/36 sleeve.

also I have been in need of an apron

More to come as I think of them.

once again i welcome the weekend

The weekend is once again upon us. Today I had a wonderful picnic with Bridgit then had guy night at Abe's. First soccer game of the season is tomorrow night. Tomorrow morning I hope to get some homework done. These online classes sneak up on you.

Finally

I finally have a free night. I'm going to play on my computer, help Bridgit make some cookies for the NET people who are on the way, have a drink, and maybe watch a movie.

Auditions

I reckon that im going to audition tonight for WSS. I'm not sure how serious I am about it, but I might as well audition. The problem is that the whole acting thing will get in the way of building the sets and such. Plus I don't like memorizing.

Apple PDA Comparison

I finally got an iPhone a few months ago. Now that I have been using it for a while I thought I would do a comparison of it with my old Apple PDA.

Back in High School I got a Apple Newton 130 from my cousin Steve. It was awesome. Now It doesn't power on anymore, but I will see if I can get it working. If not I will have to compare the memory of it to the iPhone.

Input
Battery

The question to which every pre-schooler wants the answer. Will this fit in here?

There's a song in one of my favorite musicals that has a verse that goes:
Why did the kids put beans in their ears?
No one can hear with beans in their ears.
After awhile the reason appears,
They did it 'cause we said, “No.”

This morning we were having peas for a snack and Eli started putting them in his nose. I asked him not to. I was doing dishes, admittedly, not paying that much attention. All of a sudden Eli was freaking out a little and he said he had a pea stuck in his nose. I looked: no pea. I told him he must have gotten it out already, but he kept insisting there was a pea stuck in his nose. Upon further inspection, there was in fact a pea lodged very deep in his nose. Tweezers seemed like a good implement with which to remove the pea, but I was a little worried about jamming it further in instead of pulling it out. So I tried another tactic. I held the opposite side of his nose and had him blow as hard as he could. Out flew the pea; crisis averted.
