I have decided that I am a weekly poster. I have trouble coming up with blog topics everyday. This is caused by my boring day at work (e.g. "Today I read technical papers then tried to write a thesis outline. I followed up with some email and ate lunch.") and the fact that Megan catalogues all the fun stuff happening with the boys at home. I’ll try to be more frequent if I can.
If you haven’t seen it already, check out the iPod Nano. I always thought it would be cool to have an iPod but couldn’t bring myself to get one. I hardly have time to listen to the radio. I spend only a few minutes a week in the car. The iPod was always so expensive. Now those things are changing. Prices are coming down, I will soon have a job with a commute, and this new iPod is "impossibly small." I think I need one.
As Rita begins encroaching on the Texas coast, we are wondering if my job might get washed away with the storm. I guess it is a good thing that we haven’t departed California yet. At least, we will get a good idea about which houses are susceptible to flooding. I just hope that the housing market doesn’t inflate much if there is extensive damage.
Megan has had a few mishaps while trying to blog lately. It seems that her browser has been uncooperative, sending her hard work hurtling into the cyber ether never to be seen again. After losing two long entries, she swore off blogging altogether. I hope she wasn’t serious because I really enjoy reading her blog.
I wouldn’t necessarily say you are weak poster, rather an infrequient. As for Exxon washing away, I am fairly certain that the largest company in the United states, with the highest market capitalization ($415 billion) in the entire US stock market, will not be hindered by a little catagory 5 hurricane.
Vive le Capitalism!
I was trying for a bit of wit with that title. Of course, the strength of my wit and my posts remains debatable.
I’m glad you enjoyed listening to the sermon. I had another friend tell me the same thing about my accent after listening to that sermon (before I posted it). I’m pretty sure it is worse in that sermon than most, though there are worse things than sounding like a Texan when preaching. Like you said, maybe that is how a good preacher is supposed to sound in my mind…really, really, Texan.
