Today.

Nice phone chat with warinbabylon, finished the carnelian rondelle necklace I was working on to match the existing bracelet. Made 'pasta with cheesy pumpkin sauce' (I see that the M.O. behind many of these 'quick recipes' is to throw cream cheese in the recipe to avoid making a roux...wimps...then again... f*ck, that was easy.) Paired it with a Yellowtail Chardonnay liberated from the Happy Hour leftovers at work (it was that or loose it to the monthly fridge clean-out).

Did a few dishes, put away a bit of clutter...downloaded a few mp3s...after a whole bunch of hassle realized I needn't have updated to OS X after all in order to get all the mp3s I have here at home onto an iPod (sigh). Fruitlessly tried to get focused photots of jewelry with my brother's digital camera. Made a new icon. Got caught up in reading old comics.

All in all, not a bad weekend.

What sort of digital camera does your brother have? I have a cheapass 3.2 megapixel thing from Canon, and it actually has a macro setting. Use a tripod and use flash. Mine doesn't have exposure time control, but if the flash is on it takes a shorter exposure automatically.

I can't remember if I told you, but it's looking less and less like I'm going to make it to Chicago in November. If I can afford the extra day off work, there are some people up here who drive down, so that may be my best bet. I'll let you know. Depends on what the job situation does in the next month or so.

Er, let me amend that... I posted that I would probably not make it to Chicago a while ago, but I found out later that warinbabylon never saw it. So you probably didn't either.
