Welcome, @Thorobredz, to the cult of PS3 🙂

Just realized I’ve known @Thorobredz (Chris Dunn) for like 4 years now. Most of it seemed to make some kind of sense at the time 😀

Looking at some pics from 2006. Realizing my life since the divorce (’05) – like a bad movie script – didn’t have much of a second act.

So, though it was not financially wise, it benefits all of us, so, we went ahead and replaced the broken PS3 with a new PS3 slim.

The broke PS3 doesn’t play games, but mom gets it in her room so she can finally organize all those memory cards for her PSP’s.

Sweet! Found VeggieTales on Netflix, streaming it via the PS3 for Wesley 🙂 Had that PS3 Netflix disc for 3 months, finally get to use it!

Sigh. There are times I have to grab a bible and look up Romans 8:28. You know, just to make sure it’s still there.

Replaying Mirror’s Edge on PS3. Stunning in concept, design, and execution. Always reminds me of those great chase scenes in The Matrix.

I uploaded a YouTube video — The Ritual (Me and Wesley making a latte) http://youtu.be/r1mFD_VixTM?a

@don_rivers @1prdpgn I really thought we were gonna stop by but the fates were against us 🙁 we’ll host the coffee tweetup 🙂

@don_rivers waching trending topics? Um, did you bring your laptop to a super bowl party?

@don_rivers ah. Ok, well, that’s not so geeky then 😛

@don_rivers @1prdpgn You’re on my desktop webcam widget. I’m watching you O.O

@1prdpgn I was gonna ask earlier why you didn’t have your cam on but I decided that might seem kinda creepy 😛

Just noticed the pic I took of @1prdpgn‘s cam made it to flickr but didn’t auto-twitter yet.

Cooking dinner while Norah Jones, Beatrice Martin, and Natalie Marchant sing to me via the Bose 🙂 (my "breathy female vocals" playlist 😉 )

I decided to finally respond to some private msgs on facebook and it just says something went wrong. Hrmph. Well, I tried. Back to work.

Downloaded 78 episodes of the Sesame Street Podcast and copied them on to Welsey’s PSP – he is one thrilled kid 🙂

For some reason the sesame street podcast hasn’t worked on psp since august, so I guess i’ll start getting them for him manually.

(Btw, the sesame street podcast has been running for over three years – his psp automagically downloads each new episode for over a year.)

Someday I will do a full how-to on "Sony PSP for Toddlers". He has his own photos, music, podcasts, movies and has for almost 2 years.

And since it’s portable, he isn’t a "couch tater tot", glued to a tv. He carries it around with all his other toys. In a protective case 🙂

.@don_rivers I actually have the japanese LaserDisc of Pulp Fiction (eng w/ jp subs). It’s my only jp LD (except my Criterion of Akira.)

@don_rivers are you saying you have that on ld? If you are an ld collector, too, i’ve never caught on.

@don_rivers … aw, rats. Thought i’d finally found someone to do some trading with 😛

This demarrara sugar we get for the bar is larger crystals than typical sugar and i’ve taken to sprinkling a little bit on top of my lattes.

And I don’t mean much and not to flavor the drink, just a little atop the foam for an ocassional tiny bit of sweet crunchy. Very nice.

Second day of gross, cloudy, wet weather. Ugh. Terra stayed home sick. This is the winter of our discontent and all that.

I have finally decided to friend a bunch of people on facebook. If I friended you today, I miss you or wish I knew you better.

@divised ten lyrical, spherical, diabolical denizens of the deep who haul stall around the quo, quay, and the quivvy, all at the same time..

The kitty went out last night and still isn’t back. This is bad. Terra will be inconsolable.

Hm, second day in a row someone has knocked on the door and asked to buy Dad’s truck.

Drowning our sorrows in a pressed pot of Tanzanian Peaberry from Milagro in Las Cruces. Bad for espresso, surely will be great pressed.

YAY!!! RT @NurseTerra: MY KITTY CAME HOME :)!!!!!! And VERY hungry. He ate a whole can of food and is now eating his regular food 🙂

THANK GOD!!! RT @NurseTerra: MY KITTY CAME HOME 🙂 http://flic.kr/p/7Akyww

Oops, miscalculation cooking dinner and so distracted I didn’t notice = everyone could only finish half of what was on their plate.

Kitty is really shook up – he keeps looking out the back door, genuinely alarmed, and so far refuses to go outside. So weird and sad.

Grrr, got three kinds of beans from Milagro in Cruces and all are giving me almost nothing but foam that dissolves quickly. Bad roast?

The beans were all roasted the 26th. Not sure how to properly rest them, if that’s what’s wrong. May have to just use them in the press.

not familiar with the syphon method of making coffee? it’s the mad scientist way ;P here’s Intelligentsia’s: http://bit.ly/8wh4ld

Um, why is Phil Collins singing True Colors?? I think I may need a new radio station, I have to draw the line somewhere 😛

Just opened a new bottle of cumin. Hm. Kinda smells like gold bars after a matter transfer.

Made chicken fajitas, spanish rice, black beans. Now making dessert steamers for everyone 🙂

The dessert steamers I mentioned http://flic.kr/p/7A3Zer Espresso machines (and bar full of flavors) are useful for more than just coffee:)

Ross in LC has made some very disappointing changes – they apparently have decided to drastically reduce their glassware and coffee stuff.

Ross is the only IRL place we know to get cheap but unique press pots, sometimes with matching cups. But there were none there yesterday 🙁

(see, we have this fantasy of collecting a variety of small, unique press pots for single-serves, rather than using our 32oz Bodum.)
