Short Updates

Posted by Scott at 11:59 PM

Claire and I are back from a good Step & abs class. I took her out for a smoothie afterwards. Now I'm going to be VPN'd into the office for a few hours. 11:23am

Took a break from work to take the twins to Confession again. Tomorrow they make their 1st Holy Communion. 3:21pm

Learned today (9 months late) that Netflix now does Saturday DVD processing. Awesome! In our case they received a VeggieTales DVD today and are shipping us another season 2 "Chuck" DVD. I guess this started last summer but I missed the announcement. 4:51pm

Used a pair of gift cards and took the family for dinner at the Nashua AppleBee's. 7:24pm

Bookmarks I made today:

Masterpiece Theatre: Anna Karenina
Comment: I had a bit of trouble sleeping early this morning so I watched two episodes of this to see how closely it followed the Tolstoy novel I'm working through. It did a good job but it is funny to watch BBC Brits grow scruffy beards and try to be 19th century Russians.

Excerpt: Accents shows a New England native's first day on the job in an Avis office of New York Yankees fans

One More Production - "Pixels"
Comment: As someone who spends his days worrying about pixels (well, texels actually) I loved this tribute to old school gaming.
Excerpt: New York Gets Destroyed, 8-bit Style

Amazon.com: Sherlock Holmes (2010)
Comment: Using Amazon's Video on Demand to rent Sherlock Holmes for tomorrow. Downloading it to the 1st floor TiVo.
Excerpt: Revealing fighting skills as lethal as his legendary intellect, Holmes will battle as never before to bring down a new nemesis and unravel a deadly plot that could destroy the country.
