I’ve got a completed timesheet, 1/2 a glass of water, and I’m not wearing sunglasses.

Hit it.

Its time I come out of hibernation since spring officially started yesterday. That was the longest. winter. ever. I had things to blog about over the last few months but yet I didn’t. I will next week for sure. For now, everyone join me in a brain dump from the last three months, some of which I’ve previously mentioned:

• Iowa Caucus was very fun and exciting to participate in. Yes We Can! Go Obama!!
• I went to Columbus for training. My brain was educated on MySQL. The Iowa basketball team sucked epically.
• Thumbs up to Cloverfield, I Am Legend: IMAX, and 27 Dresses
• LOST came back on! Yea!
• The Writers’ strike sucked and then ended and I hope the writers got something that they deserved in the end.
• I worked 100 hours in one week (it felt more like in 3 days) at the end of January/beginning of February and finally finished our server migrations that I have seemingly been working on for the last 15 months.
• I saw BB King at Hancher. It was so great. I needed a live music fix.
• Bonerama was on Letterman!
• I got a new camera (Canon S870)and improved my standings in the camera category of the technology arms race:
  
• Doogie turned 30 and there was tasty eating out. Ben remains cute.
• As per usual, I saw all the Best Picture nominees. For once the Academy agreed with me and I was very pleased when No Country for Old Men won Best Picture.
• I read a bunch of books. I need to keep better track of those.
• My mom turned 60 and Sara turned 30 on the same day.
• I surprised my mom with a new iMac from myself and many family and friends. It was a great surprise to her and it was fun setting it all up. She also came up and spent part of her birthday weekend in Iowa City hanging out with me.
• I met a woman at my caucus who introduced me to a local hospice knitting group. They make prayer shawls and blankets for people in hospice. They find me amusing and I am nearly finished with my first shawl for them.
• Last week I joined Weight Watchers and after one week I’m down 1.5 pounds.
• I’ve started rewatching The X-Files in its entirety before the new movie this summer. One season down, eight to go.
• I upgraded my Mac to 10.5

And there you go, that’s what I’ve been up to, mostly. Quality time has been spent with Netflix and Turner Classic Movies. MacGyver is hanging in there. She’s rather thin for my taste (but you can’t really tell unless you pet her because she’s still very fluffy) but the vets think she’s as good as she can be, so she continues to be very spoiled.

Hopefully I’ll be more consistent going forward. I also must catch up with my pictures. I got out of the habit of taking them when my old camera was so flaky. Now I have to start posting them again.
