I'm sitting in a remarkably poor ergonomic form in order to have power for the laptop here in La Boulanger. I had hoped to sit where a trio of folks are discussing some internet website start up that involves video of some sort and some automated classification system. I am distracted by the clueful advisor discuss training the models, but delighted to hear him say "Tweeter" in his French accent.
But lo, the car is done, so off i go. Here are the notes i took yesterday:
Evening Review
Give thanks, share beauty, note joy:
* Iris Dragon came over after work. We went to get sushi, returned home and watched th "Burn Out" episodes of "Waking the Dead." The cats slowly came out to join us. It was nice to have company to relax with -- occasionally joking about the subtitles, making fun of British pronunciation of "Muuuhduuuh!", the spelling of tyres.
Noteworthy events (dining out, errands, correspondence):
* Put the table up for sale: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/atq/1312486338.html . I looked at some of the other prices and thought i'd go ahead and post higher rather than lower. The $100 is still less than other antique tables.
* long wonderful Skype chat with my sister.
* "Project Canvas" a $30 software package, looks like an interesting program -- except Christine's learning flash & the programming language that goes with it and might be interested in any click-by-click thing i might need.
* bid on white cotton thread on eBay. It may have been silly to get so many spools (but so much less expensive each). On the other hand, had i gone into a sewing store, the impulse purchases would have come up to a similar total. (Some day i may sew clothes again....)
* attempted to get a three month prescription of my antihistamine set up through mail order; the health care website won't present the credit card set up form to me (a safari bug?). I had them bill.
* arranged for auto service next wednesday & plan to get car completely detailed tomorrow. *throws money at car*
Yams: the release product work -- must do some on Saturday
Yays: Scheduled car work, did some health care payments and stuff, some desk cleaning....
