The pre-game show for the Red Sox/Yankees game started with Star Wars clips. Funny stuff!
Ok, thanks to the fine folks at WalMart we now have far better digitized versions of the professional wedding photos available for your viewing pleasure.
Here’s the problem with trying to use TiVo to record a baseball game: inevitably the game runs long and the last thing you see is the opposing team tying things up with a grand slam! All’s well that end’s well, though.
I really hate it when I send an email, write an entry, or post a comment with a mistake in it, no matter how minor. I hate it even more when I do it in a foreign language. In reality it should be the other way around, I suppose; mistakes in another language are to be expected. But I’m a perfectionist.
Although I am sick, and for that reason haven’t been very productive, and although the Yankees did come from behind to beat the Twins, at least the Red Sox won. I can go to bed happy.
Only a short while after coming back across the state-line on our way home this weekend I was reminded once again that the drivers in this state are terrible. Just terrible. They run red lights and, more annoyingly, they consistently stop way past the line at intersections. I mean way past the line. It’s as though they think they’re supposed to make sure their back tires are over it.
We finally have the wedding photos from the professional photographer, and they turned out great! Digital versions are now available, but unfortunately they do the photos no justice, as Target did a horrific job making CDs from our negatives. Just terrible. Lines, specks, major tinting, flipped photos, photos cut in half. We may try to get CDs made elsewhere, or do scans ourselves, but for now the Target CDs will have to do.
If you want a ‘real’ copy of any of the photos, get in touch with us and let us know what roll and photo number you want, as well as the size. And remember, most of the photos aren’t bad, just the scans.
Why does the supermarket a block and a half from our apartment insist on laying things out in such a… bizarre way? Why are the freezers in the middle of the store? Why do juices and water end up on one end, and soda on the other? Why is alcohol in three different places? The last question isn’t as important, since I dislike alcoholic beverages, but still…
Yes, this site is sporting a new design, one that I hope will inspire me to write a bit more, or at least a bit more often. I took the photo featured in this design in Hötensleben on April 30, 2004, at a point along the former border between the DDR and the BRD where sections of the wall, towers, and bunkers have been left intact as a memorial.
