Several links to my graduate school activities found via a vanity search on cuil. Interesting how different the results are from Google. prenspace.com didn't even make it in the top 10 pages on cuil, but it's the third entry with the goog-meister.
I will have to look into this some more.

Ready for the week to be over
Ugh. I am so tired. It has been a jammed packed week. The dogs passed obedience class on Monday, and we had dive class Tues and Weds. Last night was our swimming test and it was a little harder than I thought it was. 10 laps in the pool wears you out! I could have treaded water for more than the required 10 mins, though. This weekend, we will be officially certified for Open Water.
I was looking into a waterproof casing for my Canon - they cost almost as much as the freaking camera! I might hit up Walmart and see if I can get a cheapie. Or a disposable one would work too..
Can't wait for the weekend when we go DIVING!!!!!

It COULD have been an early morning..
Today's plans include doing some website-ing, teaching a lesson, and maybe, just maybe, doing something in the yard. And laundry tonight. That pile is only getting bigger and will grow instantly by 5 days when R gets home from his trip. Come to think about it, there is a pretty heft pile of dishes to do soon.. and the bathroom.. and dusting..
Ack!
Ok.
Breathe!
I'll just stick to the first two for now.

I randomly came across this blog post via the craftzine blog and thought it was just the coolest thing. Then I realized who the blog belonged to an old acquaintance from Austin!
Kudos, alicia policia, your cake rocks.

I know. I have the humor of a 12 year old. Come on. You snickered too.
Turns out the 5 outlets that stopped working after a bad storm a couple weeks ago were fixed with a simple GFI switch. R was right! He just didn't know where to look. What a smarty.
We also got an estimate for the electrician to install all the light fixtures we've been thinking about. Not too shabby! Casa Ladkani will be all lit up in a matter of weeks, me thinks!

Time to get those hurricane perparedness kits together, people. The first named hurricane is out there in the big Atlantic.
Don't forget to plan for your pets, too.

We set up the Wii Sunday night but actually played it last night. It's so much fun - I love it! Finally, a video game for me. None of this first person pseudo-realistic shooter type game. Let's just face it - I'm a terrible Halo player (several can attest to this fact!). I really like puzzle games, like Tetris. Ah. I love me some Tetris. And I'm not too bad at them.
Back on topic - the one thing that is both so incredibly cool and bothersome at the same time is how many different games are available for the Wii. You can get the numchucks, the steering wheel, the guitar, the drum pads, the dance pads.. See what I mean? Nintendo should go back to the good old days of the original NES where you only had a max of like 4 things to add on to the box.
I think I can deal with all the extras that come with the Wii, though. Good job, Nintendo, good job.
