Mid-week. Labor day-Friday & Tuesday off. We decided not to go anywhere & instead stay in Seal Beach the Sat. before the festival on Sep. 19. Erika has a girl parts scan on Friday, so I get to take the kids to school. They’re changing schedule next week-1/2 days only, less $$$. I’m so out of money that this is a good thing, it’s about $50 less. We went to a First Nations fest on Sat. at the OC fairgrounds-they had some neat stuff, but I didn’t get anything, even though I wanted to. I also went to Pilates on Sat. AM-it was short-we learned the Hundreds and that’s it. I was a bit sore on Sun. but not much. Seal Beach Kite Festival coming up-9/19…
This week is the GOP convention-we’re ignoring it, though Erika is watching the Daily Show as the least objectionable presentation. I agree with that, but I dislike the conservative POV so much that it still bugs me, even though Stewart is making fun of them. It’s such a sham, they try to say hey, we’re nice guys, when their actions are speaking so much louder than their words.
Apple just came out with a new iMac. It’s pretty cool, but looks a lot like the same thing on the PC side, except in white (monitor only, all the HW behind the flat screen). I’m looking for a cheap iPod-eBay has 2, but they’re still a few days away from the end of the auction, so they’re still underpriced. We’ll see. I also saw some plans for converting an xBox into a Linux PC-a neat idea-a computer for $150…I’m thinking about getting a cheap Palm-they had ’em at Fry’s for $35, I’m not sure if I need one yet-I stopped using my Newton, but the Palm is a good price and form factor…but most of my stuff is in my One Spirit Book of Days, which works fine (bulky, but fine)-I’d need to put it in my license plate purse…Then I could get rid of my bookbag…We’ll see.
