You might remember that I mentioned that my hosting company was down a day or two ago. Well, here's why. It's actually pretty suitable, since I've been continually impressed with this company and was rather surprised when it went down for so long. Draknet, if you were curious.

I was playing with the video capture on the camera and have uploaded a little bit of said film tonight for your viewing pleasure. A bit of prefacing, though. We have these two monster goldfish (Larry and Blackie.) They're in a 10 gallon tank. When we bought them, and their two sadly now-deceased cohorts (Tiffany and Gretchen), they quite fit into the tank. They no longer do. Anyway, we've had, off and on, a small fish bowl in the tank for them to hide in. Lately, they've taken to snuggling together in the bowl, for some odd fishly reason. Poor Larry just can't grasp the fact that he's entirely too big for such a small bowl, and I have tremendous amounts of fun spooking them out of it. Crappy modem-friendly quality (148 K) or Broadband version (490 K) *giggle* Enjoy! It may not be much, but at least it's a start. :)

I've even updated the photoblog and gotten [livejournal.com profile] totte started on his first entry of his own photoblog. Can you tell I need a real web-type project soon? I'm just making things up here. I'm such a dork.

Moving right along to the real-life kind of thing. Today pretty much sucked. I had to work, my back really really hurt all day and moreover, we were really really slow all day long. I hate it when things are slow. We had four customers before I went to lunch. Four. In four hours. Things did pick up in the afternoon, but I had already came up with the idea of asking if they even wanted me to come back from lunch since it was so slow. I rather had my hopes up for getting the afternoon off, but he didn't agree. I don't really think my parents care too much for working the register, although I'm not sure Dad would admit it. Mom does, though. :) Anyway. I did have a marvelous dinner, which made up for it somewhat. Still tired and achy, though. But at least tomorrow is Friday.

Anyway, need to go answer a bunch of silly questions now. Night!

Gosh you guys go to bed early ;)

I tried to view the video but it didn't work!

Oh and your potato dish sounded fantastic. I love potatoes too. They're scrummy.

Wow, your camera takes awesome pictures. No wonder you have decided to have "picture projects." Will you tell me again what kind it is? I love the fish bowl video too. That fish reminds me of my fancy tail goldfish I used to have. Their names were "Goldie" and "Locks". They did the same thing, got bigger and bigger. On another note... it sucks that Cutters is gone! I haven't eaten there since I graduated from MSU. I guess I will not be able to bring the ole family back there for dinner and say ... "Yeah your Mamma had a few fun nights in here!" Oh well! Have a great day Kisha. And yes, I'm still reading.

Sorry the fishies didn't perform for you! It's a quicktime movie.. perhaps you don't have that working? I really wouldn't know.. video is SO not my forte. *grin* (This being the first attempt at it.)

I do love potatoes. I classify it as my favorite food. It's dreadfully hard to ruin a potato. Going to have to make it again this weekend sometime, I think. Might have to fix some steak to go with it to placate the carnivorous one, though. :) (Well, not that I'm not carnivorous, too, but he's less likely to be satisfied with a plateful of spuds, whereas I am quite frequently.) Irrelevant.

Thanks! Sure, it's a Minolta Dimage S414. 4 megapixel, can do 60 seconds of (obviously shoddy) video. We're pretty happy with it.

Yeah. We didn't eat at Cutter's too much but I got the harshest craving for it the day after it closed. Figures. :)

Good to hear from you!
