Random Friday: the technology nuts edition
Welcome to an installment of Random Friday!
Technology madness
As the week winds down, I can look back and say that, without a doubt, my week was one long dance with technology. Whether it was getting my new TVs set up, launching this new blog, rebuilding my work computer, and installing new software to test and document for my job, it was just all technology, all the time. At some points it was like a perfectly choreographed mambo, at others it was like a mosh pit. It’s looking pretty likely that I’m going to end the week on a slow dance, where I remember how much I love that unreliable, yet irresistible force of nature that rules my life.
Palladia, Pandora, Persnickety
I go through music phases. Sometimes I’m all about music and other times it’s background noise. These days I’m all about it. So it shouldn’t be all that surprising that with my brand new cable package and television that I’m mostly watching and listening to music through it. I thought I’d be all about HBO and the other premium channels I got, but what I’ve really enjoyed is concerts on Palladia. For example, the past two mornings I’ve had a Coldplay concert from Japan playing while I get ready for work. It’s been great!
I also bought a year subscription to Pandora so I could have a desktop client and skip the commercials. I love Pandora. My channels of the week are Death Cab For Cutie, Lady Gaga, and Everything But the Girl.
Nuts (literally)
I stupidly keep buying butter crunch cashews. Yeah. Not smart for a girl on a diet. But these things are good! Almost always I keep my portion down, and for a ¼ cup there’s about 3 points. Not exactly good in terms of budgeting points, but definitely worth it in terms of taste.
Sibby
My sister, Marissa, is my best friend. I love her more than anything in the world and I love to live vicariously through her. This month and next she’ll be doing an internship at the local newspaper. She’s been assigned to write features stories. This includes exercise features stories. So she’ll be trying out all of these different workouts across the city. Already this week she went up into the foothills for a two-hour yoga session and lunch, and she attended hip-hop aerobics. How fun, right? Maybe if I weren’t in the midst of working out four days a week, I wouldn’t find that nearly as appealing, but I think that’s rad. I was especially jealous of the yoga session. She invited me along, but I had another leadership seminar…booo!
Father’s Day
I constantly struggle when it comes to Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. The flowers I got my mom turned out to be a total disaster (long story, and not blog worthy), and my father is even harder to shop for. He’s not very serious about the holiday so we get a lot of slack, but I still want to do something nice for him. So, I decided to redesign his law practice website for him. Now that the blog redesign is done, I’m itching for something new to do in my off hours. So this weekend I’m going to try and get that going. I’ve got some great ideas for it.
Have a great weekend everyone! Check in on Sunday and you’ll probably see some Project 365 layouts.
