This is our 200th post on our blog! So to celebrate, we turned on our heater. It's not that cold here actually: highs in the seventies, lows in the fifties. We're just being wimps at the moment. We'll probably turn it off after only a few minutes.
We watched more hours of television this week than usual. Eight hours (or in Wayne's case, ten) this weekend alone! I suppose it wasn't technically television, I suppose, since we don't get conference on TV here in CA. But radio is closer to television than we usually get! Well, except for the occassional movies....
We just found a flea on our cat. I didn't know what they looked like, personally, but after we found it and identified it using the web, I remembered seeing one or two on the kitchen floor shortly after we moved in to this place. So quite possibly, our apartment complex gave our cat fleas. Lame. After all, the only other place she's been since living here has been the balcony. Can fleas jump from the ground to the balcony? Or fall from trees? :) We'll be talking to a vet and the apartment manager tomorrow, you can count on that. In the meantime, Wayne was strangely excited to give Star a bath in an attempt to drown the little sucker (the flea, not the cat). We only found the one, so hopefully it was a male flea and it ends there.
Otherwise, I worked a little bit on research yesterday (for the first time since we moved). We wanted to answer a few other small questions before submitting my thesis work to conferences, and Wayne finally got me back into the groove of things after he got back from Priesthood session last night. Before he left for the session, my friend Kate and her new husband Robi unexpectedly stopped by for a visit since they were in our neighborhood. It was a fun visit.
Wayne had a couple of presentations in his classes this week, which went well but he didn't quite get the feedback he was hoping for. Apparently the professors don't know quite what to do with him. They badger other students for giving unqualified opinions like: "I like it," but then the professors turn around and can't say much else to Wayne either! At least he's learning lots from the New Media teachers. I wouldn't be surprised if he switches focus from pictorial (painting) soon to the new media concentration. [After a 30 minute presentation on the crux of my work being on questions of social responsibility, my professor's only comment was, "well... keep working." I'm paying 7000 a semester to have an instructor simply tell me to keep working... - wayne]
Work is going well for me. I'm not sure what comes next; we just went through more bugs (aka "change requests") than normal for this product since it is new and being released to the customer soon. But we just finished them all, so I'm not sure what comes next. We'll get feedback from the customer and "they are not shy," I'm told.
That's about it for the week, I think. Otherwise, we both read quite a bit this week and played games with friends and with ourselves (gotta do something when you're doing laundry on a Friday night!).
