Happy holidays now back to work
Ugh. I'm dying of boredom.
I realize that I have no photographic skill whatsoever. I can't pick out a decent shot and when I do happen to find something interesting, the resulting picture is blurry or out of focus, or I've taken a picture that doesn't contain the image I wanted.
Ever since I was a little kid, my hands have shook. I remember going to the doctor about it. Like I have Parkinson's but only in my hands. This is not a good trait for a photographer. Every shot looks like an action shot. I need a tripod, but those are kind of bulky to carry around. I'll figure something out.

Happy New Year!
What have I done this year?
1)work
2)bought a house and moved into it
3)started working out again
That's it. I didn't take any great trips. I didn't find any long-lost relatives. I didn't find a cure for cancer. Nothing. The house is nice though and I guess that is a big step in one's lifetime.
When I was younger I used to evaluate every year and determine if it was better than the year before. I would always say something like "I learned the multiplication tables" or "kissed a girl for the first time". Buying the house should be a bigger thing but it doesn't seem that big. I was supposed to buy a house. Learning the multiplication tables was pure chance and sheer luck. Plus, when I was younger I could always say I grew 2 inches and gain 17 pounds this year. I wish I'd have written those things down. They're probably hilarious.
What do I want to do in 2004?
1) Buy a Road King
2) Ride said Road King to Los Angeles. (I can't explain it, but I just feel drawn to LA, like I HAVE to go there--not to live but to visit.)
3)Make sure I visit my Grandmother
4)Find long-lost relatives and spend time with them
5)Find long-lost friends.

I skipped the most important development
of the weekend!! I got a digital camera!! It's a Kodak, 3.1 MP. I've already become very annoying with it. My dogs hate it. Dogs have evil demon-looking eyes when you take their picture using a flash. It's not red-eye, it's demon-eye. Or maybe it's just my dogs. Now I just need to figure out how to get a blog that I can post pics to.
Still reading, enjoying both books. But now am superfocused on taking pics.

Movie Reviews
Saw 3 movies this weekend. First up, Pirates of the Caribbean. I had heard many good things about this movie. Cool camera shots and lots of swordfighting, but not a very interesting story and by the end I just wanted all the characters to fall off a ship and drown. Don't see it.
Second was Bruce Almighty. Good movie. More serious than Ace Ventura, but not a "serious" movie. Maybe by writing "more serious than Ace Ventura" what I really mean is that Bruce has a plot and character development. I really like Morgan Freeman. Makes a good God. See it.
Last is Down with Love. I realize the movie isn't meant for me and I didn't really want to see it. However, it's not very good. Nobody I know (man or woman) has liked this movie. I think my Grandmother liked the original, but that's just cause she thought Rock Hudson was a stud and didn't know he was gay. Don't see this one. No matter what.
