1) New book with warning...
Name of the Wind best fantasy novel I have read in years...
a) The bad first of a three book trilogy and no release date on the second book let alone the third.

2) Cam interest all time low... Couldn't even go to meet friends outside the game site.
a) Still plan on making ICC but to make it much past something need to revitalize my interest.

3) Been talking about getting back involved in the SCA for years, might be closer now.
a) Today I bought 4 rolls of duck tape.

Also 4 HDRI photos I made today. For those who don't know this is when you combine multiple photos of different exposures into one image. To give you an Idea of what it does I also posted a non HDRI photo of a similiar shot.

Spray on Sunscreen

Easy to use you would think. This is not the case. I know this due to the two odd shaped sunburns one on each leg where I obviously failed in this task.

The good news finally got to try out my new kayak at Cranberry lake with Carrie and Thomas and it was fun...

Woot!

Two people who moved me in two very different ways while I was growing up.

Why does getting in shape hurs to much...

2009-06-19T05:54:59Z

I have decided 2009 will be the year I get into shape. So for it is going forward at an acceptable rate but I need to do better. Sadly returning to work 2 weeks ago has made exercise a bit more difficult. I am currently working in Lincoln Square across the street from Bellevue Square in all places Bellevue. If anyone wants to do lunch who is in the area let me know.

3 Months ago I started training in martial arts at Quantom with Coop and Kara. Sadly my knees only allow me to go about once a week so I need to enhance my exercise options.

Two Weeks ago I purchased a cycle (Trek 7300) to start riding. So far I have not used it but I hope to start soon.

Realizing the bike requires knees as well I decided to find some form of exercise that doesn't. With that in mind I purchased a kayak ( a nice inflatable one that can be stored in my closet) Advanced Elements AdvancedFrame Kayak. Nice boat can sit one or two I have already talked to a few people about going out on the water with me. I seem to do so much better with exercise when I have a friend or two to do it.

Any one else have some other ideas on how to exercise.

Argghhh

No vacation for me. Just got a phone call they want to push up my start date to June 8th.

In other fine news I just bought a novel to read, based only upon its title.

Pride And Prejudice And Zombies............

umm one more escape.....

2009-06-03T21:17:41Z

So like most things starting my new job is going to take longer than I thought.

My first day will be Friday June 12 so I have one move week of a life of leisure and fun.

I am thinking one more 3 day trip/vacation before I return to work (probably Sunday - Tuesday) and I need to make a decision on were to go.

I think I have narrowed it down to two options.

Should I go out to the Olympics?

Or explore someplace new like the Colombia river east of Portland. (not sure how the area is this time of year.)

Or does anyone else have ideas for places withing 6 hours drive of seattle that would be fun this time of year.

Kinda sad

Just got an e-mail that the Domain of San Diego is folding......

Spent a lot of effort setting it up and had a lot of fun in my cam days in p-lost.

Hopefully when a better cam/story emerges it to will return.

Work.....

2009-06-01T06:51:16Z

Looks like I will be working in Bellevue for the next year or so...

Not to thrilled with the job, but its work. Supposed to be for a year but I don't see it taking that long after everything they have told me.

Next step figure out were I will move to. Been in the same apartment for nearly 3 years time for something different.

Can Never Decide

If my ego is to small or TO LARGE...

Both would seem to be able to make my life better.

Ughh I think I might be loosing this fight.

Many of my relatives in the midwest are awful pack rats. To such an extent you are literally weaving your way through piles of stuff to make it from their living room to the kitchen.

Today I am starting to worry I have inherited more of this than even I thought. Today I donated 5 boxes of stuff to the Good Will. All of it was duplicates of stuff, things I have not used in 10 years, music systems I know longer even own any media to use with etc.

And yet it was actually physically pain full to donate the stuff. It seems every year it gets harder and harder to part with anything makes me worry about the next 10 years.

On a better note my trip to Southern Wa Northern Or was awesome. I grabbed a few of the best photos and if I get some time I have some more I want to work on in photo shop and post as well.

Getting ready to head off to San Diego for a the weekend.

2009-04-28T00:35:30Z

After taking it easy for a few weeks after the end my last job its time I started getting busy about finding the next one.

So I am scheduling one more vacation this week and a visit to SD in two weeks.

So tomorrow morning I am off to Long Beach Washington and should be back in Seattle Thursday or Friday.

Hopefully I will have internet if not have a great week everyone.
