Now that school is out and Rebecca has been waiting for her advisors to get back her thesis draft (with comments), we spent this week working on our personal projects. It seems like almost every night I was editing my film and watching and re-watching it until late in the night, while Rebecca absorbed herself in writing a graffiti writing recognizing program, like what was used by Palm handheld devices. She was able to complete this project by Thursday evening, whereas I'm still working on my film. If you remember, my friends and I filmed this documentary about a medieval fighting society who practices at a park close to our house. I've finished close to a final draft, but there's always some work to be done on it. It's amazing how many people are really interested in this subject. I mentioned the film at work and now I've got a long list of people who demand to see this film when it's finished.
We really didn't DO much this week that took us out of doors. We finished some books. On Saturday we went window shopping at Bed, Bath & Beyond. They were having a clearance sale, but we didn't find anything worth getting, especially since we're moving soon. However, we DID notice that the George Foreman G5 grill would allow us to get rid of two appliances AND let us have the panini maker we so desire! :P
We also spent about an hour playing with kittens at Petsmart, only to come home and play with our own cat for another couple hours. Rebecca went to JoAnn's fabrics (they were having a sale on patterns) and picked up two patterns for pajamas. This coming week she'll make some pajamas for us out of the monkey fabric she found. And because of the sale, it will actually be cheaper than if we had bought them pre-made. And we'll finally have the monkey pajamas we so desire. :P
You would have thought that with all the extra time we had this week, we would have done something remarkable... but it's just as fun to work on our own projects.
