General Thoughts

Dear Diary

by

I have some video toys to play with. I’m very excited about that, and after Nathan’s comment about my video reminding him of Dr. Horrible, I think I’m going to adopt the notion and start doing some regular video on this sight.

You have been warned. 🙂

Off I Go…

by

I’m off to LinuxWorld this morning. Admittedly, usually I consider 3AM as part of the previous night, but the airport is 2 hours away, and my plane leaves early anyway. Ugh.

I’m not really complaining. I hear San Francisco is beautiful this time of year, and I’m looking forward to hanging out with the whole Linux Journal crew. It’s just that I’m not a morning person.

Oh, and I’m positive I forgot something. Really, it’s an aching, horrible feeling. I’ve checked to make sure I’m wearing pants several times already this morning.

Here’s hoping no one reads this for hours to come!

Lydia Can Daaaaance

by

We have 2 dance pads for “Dance Dance Revolution” the other day, and it’s amazing to see my 9 year old. It looks like she is randomly bouncing around, but in fact, she’s hitting 90% of the “steps” during the song. She does NOT get her coordination from me. 🙂

I’d show you video, but it’s not her turn anymore, and I’m getting tired. Heheheh.

UPDATE: I lied, I recorded some. 🙂

Waxing My Face

by

No, I’m not really going to wax my face — but I’m tempted. Here’s the deal, my face is absurdly sensitive. I have to use a fresh razor almost every day, and that razor must be touched by an elvish princess while being sprinkled with aloe freshly squeezed from an aloe plant growning on a hill nourished only by mountain fresh spring water.

And I still usually get razor burn.

I’ve tried several electric razors, but they either don’t get all the hairs (especially on my neck, ick), or they rip off my flesh around the pointy parts. Since I’ve sorta grown attached to my chin, I just do my best with a razor.

Oh for my 20s, when I could shave once every other week and be fine. (Seriously, I’ve only had to shave regularly for a few years) If someone knows a secret way to shave a particularly sensitive face, I’m all ears. And no, I don’t shave my ears.
