Job hunt is still going as it has been. I am desperately trying to cram as much Cakephp as possible into my head, which is super fun. I also like cramming as much regular cake as possible into my head. If only I could combine the two.

If you have not seen Up, you should go see it immediately, as it is excellent and will make you cry.

I wish August was not ending, as I have a slight dread of the impending fall/winter. Part of this is because a large number of my warmer clothing is still in Richmond. Part of this is because of the shorter days, and how I desperately crave Vitamin D to be happy. My fear of the cold is balanced by my excitement at actually getting some decent snow for a change out here.

I’ve started using my netbook as a pseudo-kindle. I’ve got bunches of .pdf files on there, and it’s super useful for reading in a car at night. I keep a text file to remember which pages I’m on in which books. It is also super useful for those lonely nights when I desperately want to play 92372034823 versions of scrabble or assorted games involving Tux the Penguin. Good times.

Been reading a bit lately. Drew has a few of the ‘Great Brain’ book which are totally for 5th graders, but I’m rereading them to flash back to reading them the first time in 5th grade. Strangely, 5th grader books are much better when you’re actually the target age when you read them. I’m also reading a Lois Bujold book. They’re sci-fi, and a whole series (of the sort that’s it’s own segment, so you could read them out of order if you want) about this guy named Miles. Anyhow, I like them as they have interesting characterization and deal with day to day situations along with wacky interplanetary hijinks.

Took the Christmas decorations down. The lights are getting chucked. They all worked when I put them up, but as of yesterday, only 1/4 of them worked. D’oh!

We need to brave a shopping experience soon. We have so much meat and chocolate and not enough of anything else. I need vegetables before my arteries start flipping out!
