I thought I'd post some pictures today to show that I do still have a fraction of a life but that didn't work out so well. I have a new laptop (good) but I have to reinstall the camera software (bad). Maybe later.

So - Condo updates. The repairs are done. The junk is hauled out and I'm sleeping on the couch for 2 more nights. The movers come on Wednesday and I temporarily move in with Brad & Lorie on Thursday before I leave for the Middle East. When I get back home from that trip it will be time to focus and buy a house.

I'm just past the halfway point now in school. 10 classes down and I'm in the middle of class 11. It's algebra and I dislike it more than statistics. Algebra is so tough, that I just turned in this week's assignment only partially complete. I haven't gotten better than 75% on the weekly stuff when I try so I figure why do all the extra work if the answer is going to be wrong? I've been working hard to get all A's up until this moment, just so I would have a GPA comfort zone to make up for this class. 7 more weeks to go before I get back to normal classes.

Movies - I don't know what they are anymore but I hope there's some good ones on the airplane next week. I hit a new travel milestone this year - Marriott has upgraded me to their top level due to an unprecedented number of hotel nights. I haven't seen any improvement in service yet but maybe the Marriott in Jordan will be nice and upgrade my room.

    Remember, y=mx+b. So if the slope is 1/2 and the line goes through (3,-5), state the answer in the form of .... whatever, just drink a beer.

    I almost ended up in the psyc hospital over my Russian physicist algebra professor, but I think I told you that already. Whatever, just drink a beer.

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

-
Most Hobbit minded people have already seen the latest installment so this is for those of you waiting for the crowds to go down. Part 2 is much better than part 1. This applies to all viewers. Where the gap happens if you have not read the book (including the appendices) you will probably like the whole movie. If you've read the book and taken the time to read the appendices, then you'll appreciate the back story that's presented here. The spirit of Tolkien is present and Desolation of Smaug fits well within what will become a 6 part movie. What I liked....The opening sequence. This is not in the book and I had to look it up in the appendices and sure enough, Gandalf and Thorin did meet in Bree. Thranduil and Legolas father/son relationship. I liked it. While only a mere mention in the appendices, in this movie we see Legolas loyal to his father. That Legolas doesn't mesh with the person he becomes and it will be interesting to see what happens to Legolas in the nex...

COASTAL AREAS OF CALIFORNIA - OREGON - WASHINGTON - BRITISHCOLUMBIA - AND ALASKA....THE TSUNAMI WARNING AND WATCH STATUS IS CANCELED FOR CALIFORNIA - OREGON - WASHINGTON - BRITISH COLUMBIA - AND ALASKA... It's good to know that today's media is so excited for another tsunami, that newscasters managed to panic coastal residents for thousands of miles. My neighbor came rushing out her house to call out "tsunami" in 3 hours! She was ready to evacuate. We could not convice her that while we are near the beach, it is a good mile away, with a major freeway inbetween us and a nice rolling hill. She was still ready to go to higher ground, bathrobe and all. Luckily, the Weather Channel has announced the cancellation of the alert. I guess I can sleep now and not have to worry about being washed away.

Calgary, Canada - The Starfleet Experience

Image
Against all odds, the Star Trek Starfleet Academy Experience was in Calgary the same time as me! It was interactive with games, Klingon language lessons, and the Kobayashi Maru exam. All of it is to test what area you'll be admitted into Starfleet. Entrances are timed to reduce wait time to do the activities and it never felt crowded. Here's my image getting ready to beam up. And if this plays correctly, it's my actual beam up. Turns out I'm Uhura and bound for Communications!
