I'm not doing the movie meme.

I'd like to say I'm not doing it because I don't want to f*** up everyone's web browsing but the flat truth is that I don't really care much for movies. I'm not sure I've seen more than 1-2 per year for most of the past couple of decades. Nope, haven't seen "Brokeback Mountain" and am not planning to.

There's enough drama/comedy/horror/war/fantasy/explosions in my real life available at no (financial) cost that paying $10 for a movie ticket seems somehow excessively masochistic.

Happy Hour in DC Tonight

My regular Friday night happy hour crowd will be descending on 30 Degrees (17th & R Street NW, Washington DC) for drinkies before heading out for dinner en masse around 8 PM. I'm planning to be there myself this time, barring further deterioration of Kent's sinus issues.

If you're in the greater DC area with nothing else to do, drop by!

Printing Photos (US)

The last chemical film I'm planning on ever using is currently being developed; I'll collect my prints this afternoon on my way home from work.

The Olympus digital camera Kent gave me for xmas is an absolute delight! Well, except for the damage to sensitive electronics and the DNA of everyone within the blast radius when the nuclear-powered electronic flash goes off. Outside of that, it's fantastic!

Since I like keeping prints & photo albums (albi?), now I have to determine the most economical way of printing my photographic treasures. CVS, Ritz and Moto Photo all seem to charge $0.26-$0.29 USD per print for small numbers, $0.19 USD for batches of 50. Clark (www.clarkcolor.com) is charging as little as $0.11 USD for 4"x6" prints in batches of 50.

Is there some other service I should check out? Anyone have experience dealing with Clark (my current front-runner)?

All advice gratefully sought and will be rewarded in either appropriate or inappropriate ways, as is (in)appropriate.

Mmmmm... thin mints...

A complete stranger just walked by my cube, announcing she was soliciting orders for girl scout cookies. I've just ordered five boxes of thin mints. Beg Ask nicely and I might share. :-)

I've received three telephone calls in the past hour asking about renting a three bedroom townhome in Urbana. I suspect there's a misprint in some local newspaper's classifieds... I'll have to ask the next caller where he/she got my telephone number.
