Dribs and drabs

Let’s see, a recap (oh no!) of recent events:

I’m starting a new music video. It’s on the order of a special request, and as soon as the idea took hold in what passes for my brain I couldn’t resist the idea of making it work. Film at eleven, as it were.

Wendi has her airline tickets, as does her father. Next Wednesday afternoon they’ll be leaving for a week. I’ll be on vacation, more or less. For me the word “vacation” tends to translate as “watches kids for a few days while praying the phone never rings.” I’ll manage to enjoy my time off anyway, have no fear.

The itinerary for the Dept. Heads retreat next week has been distributed. Meetings, meals, repeat. Oh, and there’s some golf scheduled, but I opted out of that. There are worse ways to spend the two days before my vacation starts…

I have tried Winamp 3. There are some inventive skins available for it, but do they all have to be impossible to actually use? Note to skinners: We want to actually use the software too.

I’m taking the laptop home this evening. If all goes well, I’ll get a chance at finishing off my remaining TMTT episodes over the next few days. I’d like to have that project completed for my own peace of mind, thank you. I’m still closer to completing my Thumbnail Theater than EK is on hers, though. Nyah nyah nyah!
