A Few things

Work has been challenging and interesting lately. Because I've been prodded a bit by Brandon, we've gone in to use Medseek's Sitemaker's language to produce the new modules we're working on. After some annoying inconsistencies between what they say to do and what they do in their actual modules based on this system, I've gotten down to where I've basically figured out what they do. The way they do things has barely changed (as far as presenting data, they just keep it standardized so it all looks at feels the same because it ends up using the same code. I've had a few late nights, but I think I'm moving forward pretty well.

Chris and Holly get married today. I hope the day goes well and everything goes off without a hitch.

Shannon's birthday is on Monday. She turns 29...again...at least that's what she is claiming. I'll be making lobster Alfredo and a nice chocolate torte...at least I assume it's nice, since I've not made it before. It has lots of chocolate in it, so I'm sure Shannon will be happy with it.

We went and saw 300 last night. I thought it was really good (even though our seats kind of sucked), but Shannon wasn't as thrilled about it. It really felt to me like reading a graphic novel, and a good one at that. She did say that the gore seemed more cgi/cartoony so it didn't offender as much as other gore in movies.

We've decided to go on a diet (excluding Shannon's birthday)...well more like change our lifestyle, The pasta that we had earlier in the week is just a start. More fresh fruits and vegetables is the long term goal here. Shannon wanted us to join up something like weight watchers, but to me it seems a bit silly. If we really take it seriously, then we will support each other (which is pretty much the goal of WW). We just both pick bad things sometimes, and it kind of rolls from there. But I think if we both push forward, then we'll end up better...although this does mean more work for me, since a lot of the "I don't feel like cooking" foods that we have are high fat and calories (hello pizza). I've also started using much less cheese too (sigh).

On Monday, the PC Support people came and told me I was getting a new laptop, since mine is going off lease at the end of the month. They wanted to take pictures and what not, but I said, no, I'll clean it off and have it ready by the end of the day, and they said they'd come back today or tomorrow (Monday or Tuesday). So I still don't have my new laptop. The laptop has been cleaned off, so it's basically worthless to me and I'm dreadfully annoyed now. Hopefully early next week, cause I may just have to start installing stuff back on it.
