A work weekend is just plain wrong!

I think working during the weekend must be catchy, because now Cathryn is doing it too! Sigh... there just isn't enough hours during the day or week, is there?

In more uplifting, fun news, we have finally joined the ranks of Netflix subscribers. In fact, I have to stop myself from spending hours picking out and rating movies. With our current plan, I think we'll have stuff to watch for the next two years!

During this past week, for no reason at all, I decided to capture the dichotomy of food in my life. I put some grapes on one of our Zazen plates and thought they looked like they'd make a great food shot. Later that lunch, I pulled some leftover pizza out of the fridge and ate it with the same fervor that I had for the grapes (mmmm...foooood). I found it curious how I could enjoy both foods so much, and yet they have almost a complete opposite effect on the health of my diet. Just between you, me, and the plate though, I think I enjoyed the pizza more (big surprise, huh?).

And for the latest completely random tangent, I just wanted to let everyone know that starting a few months ago (eh, probably many, many months and moons ago), if you're signed into your Google account, all your Google searches are indexed and saved. I'm all for targeted ads and all, but this type of tracking was just a bit too much for me, so I turned that option off (I would not like my searches for porn, work stuff, fun stuff, shopping stuff, and porn all mixed together, thank you very much). It's kind of hidden, so you'll have to hunt for it if you want to do the same (hint: look for the 'search history' link next to your sign in name).
