Ahhh, we are done with the Holidays. I don't count New Year's day. The REAL heavy lifting occurs between Halloween and Christmas. Christmas to New Year is for recuperation, so you can start the new year with a burst of enthusiastic energy.
As per usual, Marla and I went to her parent's house in Lafayette Louisiannanannanaa. The drive is a tedious six hours or so, though on the way in we apparently missed a couple inches of snow in Houston. For that, I am thankful. When we were there, it was just a tiny sprinkling of frozen mist swirling around the roadway.
Marla's parents went a bit overboard on presents this year -- I feel like such a slacker! But now I am the happy owner of a photo printer (so I can make hard copies of valuable pictures, so they won't get lost in the bit bucket) and, amazingly, a digital video camera.
I have a use for that video cam, by the way. I will be doing some test shots for the movie project. Later, as I build new props and stuff, I can use it to document either the process or their operation... videos that will ultimately find their way onto the web.
Right now I'm avoiding work... the usual. I need to find enough footholds in our codebase to do something useful, and as per usual the code is not cooperating.
