DC Vacation Day Four
Today we got up and headed to the National Museum of Natural History. It was excellent, second only to the Air & Space Museum. (The Jim Henson one is so awesome that it is useless to compare anything else to it.) I took a bunch of pictures, but only about half of them turned out [...]
DC Vaction Day Three
Day three was not as good as day two. My foot has been killing me all day. We headed down to the Mall intending to hit the National Book Festival. However, the place was absolutely mobbed, and we had no real drive to see any of the authors or anything (I wasn’t planning on buying [...]
DC Vacation Day Two
Today we got started at the break of about 9:30 or so. Dragged our asses down to the Metro station and hopped on over to the Smithsonian station. The subway right away seemed faster than the one I remember from my trip to Madrid, but it may have been an illusion based on the shorter [...]
DC Vacation Day One
Well, today was the first day of my vacation in Washington, DC. Most of the day was spent driving down here, which took about seven hours. It wasn’t really a bad drive – the traffic at the end (once we got into the city) was pretty bad, traffic jam style. It was mostly bad timing, [...]
Netflix
I just signed up for a Netflix account over the weekend. Right now I’m in my free trial, but I’ll be sticking with it. The selection is pretty nice, especially for old anime stuff that I haven’t had a chance to see yet. Two of my first three choices were based on recent listening to [...]
Time Management
I know I’ve mentioned before that I have poor time management skills. It’s been bad lately. Days don’t seem to have enough hours in them to accomplish everything I want to do. I have to work the 8 hour work day, of course, but I’d love to get some things done after work. It’s just [...]
Failure of Ambition
I feel somewhat obligated to write something. I only got one thing accomplished this weekend that I had planned to do, and I wasted the rest of the time. Tonight I mostly wasted it moping and watching V for Vendetta since it was on TV. I’m really having a hard time getting myself to do [...]
Podcast Roundup
I’ve been falling behind on listening to my podcasts lately (I think the ones I have on my phone to listen to next are from July) but I think I’m still listening to the same ones as the last time I brought this up. Anime World Order From the site: A podcast all about Japanese [...]
Fitness Reboot
At some point, I stopped eating well and exercising, which had been going super well for a while. I’m not sure when I stopped doing well, but it’s time for me to pick it up again. My guess is it’s because of the freaking weather. It’s so blooming hot outside – I have an hour [...]
