Glass Panes That Separate

My wife just got another day older, taking the total up to… Hah, I know better than that. Anyway, here’s some pics of the festivities.

We’ve been pretty busy lately with drama-related stuff. I was asked to run lights (again) for a play that the Historical Society is presenting. In the process, Amanda & I both were roped into playing small parts, and I’m now doing sound for it as well. It’s a fun little one-act about some mannequins who attempt to thwart a robbery in the clothing store where they ‘work’.

We had tryouts for the High School play last week, and started practice on Monday. We did a read-through then, and had another practice on Thursday. This semester we’re doing a full-length play about a bunch of pirates and a group of people stranded on ‘their’ island. It’s going to be quite interesting as we only had girls tryout, so all the male parts (pirates & natives) will be played by females. That always makes me laugh, so I’m sure it will work out quite well.

Some days, I look back and go, “did I get anything done today?” So here’s me recording for the world what I did today. You can stop reading now, because it’s going to be really boring. I promise. Really.

This is a reminder to myself, and dissemination of ‘general knowledge’. If you run linux, and you want to change the resolution that your computer displays the console on, this is for you. Read more

So it wasn’t quite that bad, but we got a lot of snow. I’ve got several pictures to prove it too.
