today: get organized but first . . .

not just another "how to" video (found here)

Tony met a real couple of clowns yesterday. (1/640 and 8.0 with the Canon)

noonish. ok, so far . . . called Apple, called Mike, checked on flight to Philly for wednesday, rechecked monthly work schedule, made reservations for hotel stays before and after upcoming trips, checked some blogs (thanks to N for this video), replied to some overdue emails, watched another Rebus, put Wallander in the mail.  time for some lunch while watching Kiina and then bills, serious room clean-up.
5pm-ish.  Mike called back.  his kids are home for the summer and i think there were a couple of the neighbor's kids over as it sounded like Mike's Day Care Center. (perhaps the name for his new blog).  called Apple back and all is well and now i have an extra 160 GB of space on my hard drive.  walked to the market and dry cleaners.  paid a few bills.  did a little research on things to do in London on friday.  i wish i could change my trip so i would be there on saturday as there is more "things to do" on the weekend.  i may just take the train into the city to Covent Garden.  or maybe a bus to Brighton.  i will be there on monday also. not sure why i am writing all this in my blog when i should be cleaning up my room and preparing to leave on wednesday ... i always have tomorrow for at least another day or two.


remembering next april  (1/200 at 10 with Canon)

8pm-ish just about to have some dinner.  not much new since the last update except i found some sakura (cherry blossom) photos from april on a SD card hidden away in a box of "Japan stuff".  and as things do, i thought about this song/video while listening to this Marty Balin record... new little problem, record player/turntable plays everything as if it were a 45 rpm which is much too fast for a 33 rpm record. not good. and a record player is?
