the morning update
Well its gone. The sea plane is missing. Every day going to work I drive past the OSU Airport, a little tiny airport with one big ass sea plane on the lawn. It was pleasing to see everyday. I will miss my sea plane! Where is my sea plane I wonder. It's been there for about a year or more now, and suddenly presto gone. End of era of "whats cool" while driving to work for me. No more sea plane. I love sea planes. Anything that can land on water is cool I think. A big ole sea plane just makes me all dreamy, somehow life is better knowing you got a sea plane somewhere in your life, but now, nooooo the cold harsh reality returns, no more sea plane!
This weekend was good, Mary and I took my sister in law Sharon out for her birthday and we ate meat galore at Barleys which was packed!!! Saturday we had dinner with Carolin & Steve, Mary's friends, Carolin runs and teaches the improv group that Mary is in. She's hilarious and Steve looks extactally like Billy Joel, which makes it hard to carry a conversation with him at times cause I just keep thinking, this is billy joel.. this is billy joel. After dinner at the Hiaku where they accidentily spilled hot spicy oil on my leg, yeahness, we went on to see a free opera at Captial University entitled "Die Mouse Die", it was a comedy. It was pretty good really aside from the "you cant fit in these seats", owww i cant fit in these tiny seats. In the middle of the opera, just before act 3, the brought out Captial University's Kodo Drummers, which were damn good, not sure why they were in the middle of the opera, but they were there. Kinda makes me wanna go back and just see these Kodo Drummers, they were really really good. Sunday we slept in.... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, watched the Incredibles, which was ok, and then went to Springfield for one of Mary's nieces, Emily, her birthday party. Dang she made out good, new camera, sims2 university, cash, purse and more... heh. She's a great kid, Mary's family is fun and comfy.
What else is happening. I need 80 gold in World of Warcraft for my lizard mount, so every day I'm selling something, even right now I have close to 20 items for sale in the auction house, and I keep finding more. My trade for badcow, my cow warrior, is skinning, thats pretty much it. I thought about enchantments but everything is on hold until I cash out for the mount, must have that first.
In other other news, Avid aquires Pinnacle thanks Clint! Now what does that mean? For the longest time Avid has been using Pinnacle's acceleratoration cards for awhile now, i'm sure this just means more and better hardware for Avid to utilitize. Also a new Avid Free DV is out >> 1.6.1 Hmmm I think I need this as well, the Avid Xpress DV 4.5 upgrade.
Ok I see how this works, I have 3.5, which needs 4.6 so I need $445, then I need $995 for Avid Xpress Pro, which has some damn fine additions to it. Ok I can get that past the board of directors here me thinks.
Oh ya and Yahoo buys Flickr... feelings? Well its important that the flickr peeps get paid. So that is important, other than that? Should be interesting to see where it goes from here. I've always been lukewarm about yahoo really.
On the blogbites route, lets see what do we have to report.
