Sat

Laid back morning, got back at a reasonable time and caught up some on some of my tv vices , including Gossip Girl and the Real World (current season seems a little better than last, but only slightly.)

Chilly but sunny out. Making a backup of my mp3 library into the NAS. Computer appears stable after BIOS replacement on Monday.

Fri

Home. The bus took a bit longer than usual today, but I am home. Nicole is walking Bogie, then we are going to have dinner. The contractor unpackaged the stove today, and put it in its place in the kitchen, plus assembled a third cabinet, all looks pretty good. I think he has at least another week to go, and then he has a few things to finish up (base boards, etc.), maybe another week. So possibly 2 weeks more (hopefully)

Nicole saved me a trip and brought some prosecco from Trader Joes. There is a pre-party at Jackie's before the wedding tomorrow, and it is BYOB.

Tech

A couple tech articles worth a look: Pogue has an interesting one in the Times about Netflix movie streaming (12,000 movies and growing available to stream at any time, from your TV, XBox, BluRay player, etc.) for a flat monthly fee), and then Google announced it will make GMail available offline (currently in Labs).

Wed

Half way through the week already. Amazingly it's 40 F outside which feels like summer after the cold temperatures of these past days. It snowed overnight, but it has mostly melted or cleaned up this morning. I think they got a lot more snow in the midwest, according to a txt from Bill this morning.

We got home relatively late tonight. Supposed to meet Roland & Lisa for dinner tomorrow night, and we have Brad's wedding in Long Island this weekend.

Revolutionary Road

We watched Revolutionary Road, based on Richard Yates' great novel. Good movie, Winslet and DiCaprio do a very good job. Pretty gloomy portrait of suburbia.
