Yeah, I know the frames are screwed up. I must have messed up a tag somewhere when I was trying to add a link to the sidebar for my new Flickr account. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
Anyway, if you want to see the pics I've added to Flickr (mostly of our going-away party a couple of weekends ago), go to http://www.flickr.com/photos/tessenwee, or .
You know, I've been slacking a little on adopting a lot of the most current tech trends that have emerged over the past year or two; however, between recently acquiring a camera-phone and an iPod Shuffle and setting up a Flickr account, I feel like I've finally narrowed the expanding gap between me and the young urban geek (Yuggie?) zeitgeist a little. Since soon I'll be moving into the red beating heart of Internet/tech culture, I think it's good to work on getting my urban-geek groove on so I'll fit in. Not like it's much of a stretch, but I'd been lazy about taking on new things lately.
The past three weeks have been so great in terms of me being able to slow down and de-stress. I mean, there's still stress with getting ready to sell the house and move, and that's going to be the case for a while - but so far it's been mostly positive and totally managable. Indy's doing well, the house fixing-up is going great, and while I miss having Bill here a lot and wish we weren't apart, I've never had a problem spending time alone, so it's been a nice, peaceful transitional time.
I'm looking forward to when the house is all spruced up and just needs to be kept tidy for showing, so that I can give a little more time over to visiting with friends and exploring San Diego while I still can. When you live someplace as beautiful and touristy as San Diego, I think it's easy to put off checking out some of the sights to be seen, because you figure you can do it whenever, or you want to store up activities for when visitors come. Now I'm hoping to knock some off the list before I leave - like hang out at the beach, go to Julian, revisit the museums in Balboa Park, check out some of the little places I've always meant to visit... I'm so grateful to have this sort of transitional time here. I wish Bill could have had more of a chance to say goodbye to San Diego too - I feel a little guilty about being able to be here and enjoy our revamped house while he's stuck in a temp condo (albeit a nice one)... But there's so much stuff to see and do in the Bay Area that hopefully we'll be able to do some fun daytrips once I move up there.
Anyway, off to post some more pics on the Flickr site...
Is it just me, or does new Pope Benedict XVI just look kind of... well, a little creepy?
I wonder if any old Catholic WWII vets were pissed off when they heard that a German would be wearing the funny Hat?
