The Group

Our group of people here is getting bigger and bigger as more people start moving into the area.  It’s getting even harder to get the message out to everyone about any plans we have for the evenings or weekends; this is definitely a good problem to have!  We’ve kind of started a text tree where someone sends the message out to some of us and we all keep it going to everyone else.  It means some people may get the message twice, but it also means most everyone gets the message.  We’ve got to come up with a better method but this will work for now.

We saw two movies this past week.  The first was G.I. Joe which I didn’t think was going to be very good even though I was really excited about seeing it.  It turned out to be a really good movie if you ignored all the very convenient plot twists.  There were points where the characters figured something out well before a real person would have because it allowed the story to continue without stopping to explain what just happened.  It was G.I. Joe after all; it’s allowed to be a little fantastical.  After all, it’s a movie adapted from a show about GIs fighting outlandish numbers of enemies and always coming out on top.

I really need to get to the post office at some point this coming week.  I have a few packages to ship out but I don’t really have any good point during the week that I can do that.  I work during the hours that the post office is open and on Saturday, I always manage to forget that I have to send stuff out.  One of my goals this week is to go during lunch one day and get all this stuff out of here!

This little guy recently set a world record by operating for 24 hours on one battery.  Why can’t we get efficiency like that in cell phones?!  I left mine in the rain and it no longer works, but you can be sure that when I get my new one in the mail in a few days, it will not get anywhere near 24 hours of constant use.  Come on, cell phone companies!  Keep up with the latest trend and give me more talk time!

This coming Thursday is this blog’s fifth birthday!  It’s been a lot of fun and here’s hoping for five more years!
