Update on Me
Well, I just finished reading a few ‘update’ blogs from friends, it seems like we all don’t have much to say lately so it’s just a good time to chime in on life in general. Well, here’s my chime!
Smith’s is growing on me; I’m getting to know my co-workers and my legs are no longer ready to detach from my body after 8 hours of standing. My first night was murder on my legs, but now I’m good to go. I get about 30 hours a week and paid every Friday. I like getting paid every week. I also learned that after 6 months I’m eligible for benefits and are only required to work 25 hours/week to get them! That’s a total bonus as hopefully by then I’ll have worked up my photography enough to round off my income with that work while Smith’s pays for fun and insurance. Here’s to hoping!
Let’s see, what else? My friend Daniel Beck released his CD and did a release concert; it was amazing. His voice is sooo beautiful! Well done Dan!
I’ve gotten hooked on some games on my iPhone finally, and they’re pretty dang fun! I enjoy the Apple version of Texas Hold ‘Em poker, every few games I actually win. And yesterday I bought a game called Fieldrunners that’s violently awesome. Basically, you own a field and there is an ‘enemy’ relentlessly trying to cross your field. You can install tower guns, slow-down goop, missiles and a tazer tower to kill off the driving forces. They come in small people, big people, motorcycles, tanks, helicopters and I even got a robot once! If you let 20 enemy past you you get defeated. It’s actually pretty fun! So, if you have an iPod Touch or an iPhone I totally recommend it, and at $4.99 it’s not that big of a spend.
No, I wasn’t paid for that endorsement.
Canon released the 5D into the wild… and I am soooo envious! I want it I want it! However, I think my next major purchase will be a new lens. It’ll come in at less than half the price of the 5D (so $1200) but I’ll enjoy it almost as much. The 5D can come after that when it’s either a better deal used or just more easily gettable. Wow, my spellcheck didn’t try to correct that – gettable. It’s a word? Awesome! Learn something new every day.
Let’s see. I guess I’m heading off to Portland in a few more weeks, hard to believe it’s almost time to go! I’ll be gone the 18-24. Yep, Christmas Eve. But I’ll be home by like 10am so it’s no big deal. And, end scene.
Miles is officially addicted to Spor, or whatever that game is called. He plays it all the time. You boys and your video games. Tsk Tsk.
