Last weekend

Last weekend, from midnight on Friday to noon on Monday, I had slept 32 hours out of 60 hours. Friday at work, I was dead tired. I think that sleeping 32 hours I really caught up on my sleep.

You ask what did I do for the other 28 hours:

Arrested Development - Season One

Well, I watched the Arrested Development: Season 1. I really enjoyed this show. By mistake, I'd netflixed Arrested Development: Season 2 first. Watching Season 1 filled in some blanks for me.

Then I read "Nerd Girl Rocks Paradise City." I really enjoyed this book.

Nerd Girl Rocks Paradise City: A True Story of Faking It in Hair Metal L.A.

It was a memior of a girl who wanted to be the female Lester Bangs. She drove across the country in the late eighties to Los Angeles. She has hilarious stories about her time in LA. Of course, she downward spirals into drugs and drink. The funniest part was the Glenn Danzig thread that is intertwine through the book. I did have a problem with her diss of Alice in Chains, but since Anne Thomas Soffee, the author, loves the Runaways almost as much I do. I will let her go on that diss. Everyone has the right to their own opinion.

Twelve Sharp (Stephanie Plum Novels)

Then I read "Twelve Sharp," written by Janet Evanovich. I have religiously bought each book in this series since the very first one. I've enjoyed the first 7 or 8 books in this series. I highly recommend the first three books in this series. Evanovich writing has dropped from entertaining to formulaically, almost tripe. The book was a quick read. Some of the scenes were still funny, but she didn't develop the main characters at all. I will probably not buy any more of her books.

Then I started reading an investment guide. I find this investment guide to be a common-

The Only Investment Guide You'll Ever Need (Only Investment Guide You'll Ever Need)

sense approach to money handling. Of course, the problem is that people don't handle their money in a commonsense manner. Most people have way too many emotional problems attached to their money. Money means different things to different people. I think of money as security, as in the way that I need to save more money. This guide stresses the need to live well below your income. This advise causes me to be more cheap (if this was possible).

University of Texas Gnome

Last week, I'd purchased this gnome for RW. He loves it. I've also purchased one for RW's sister for her Christmas present.

Researching separation anxiety in dogs

Sonny has been experiencing way too much separation anxiety when we leave the house. In the past, Sonny has chewed through the wooden fence to get out. Last night, he torn a hole in the chain link part of the fence.

This morning, my free time has been spent researching and reading up on separation anxiety in dogs. It sounds like I have some work to do. We will have to start training him and working with him a lot more. I am hoping that the training will work with Sonny. If not, next stop is the vet for drugs.

It is amazing how much archival material is available.

I was entrusted with my family slides, all 800 + of them. My Dad wanted to have them scanned into digital file format, but he couldn't afford the price to do this, which is about a buck a slide. I decided that I would look into scanning these slides myself. It will be a huge project, but there isn't anybody who loves a big project more than I do.

First things first, organize these slides. I love organizing things. I love my label maker. Searching the internet, I'd found these slide boxes. Site after site had these boxes, but Light Impressions had the these boxes as a set instead of selling everything separately as every other web site was selling it. Also, Light Impressions was the cheapest.

The kit arrived together with a catalog today. I am afraid to look through the catalog. I am afraid of seeing items that I never knew I needed until I saw it in this catalog.
