I’ll update more tomorrow, but for now I will give you 3 videos.  Last night while we were sleeping, it stormed more and when we came downstairs today we discovered there had been about 3 inches of water at some point overnight because the carpet was squishy, water was dripping out of computers and stuff had floated and been carried over to other parts of the basement.  It’s been a rough day and with the help of our neighbor Ryan and James and the guys at Five Star here in Indy, we have stuff moved out of the basement and fans and dehumidifiers doing the evaporation work.

And because I don’t want to leave you on a depressing note and for a little perspective (because there are people worse off than we are). Here’s some super cute kitties. note how the one at then end starts growling when they try and move his food while he’s eating. I don’t know how to embed this one, so just click this link: Attack of the Hungry Kittens

Later taters.  I’ll keep you updated.

I bought a new bike today! I am so excited! I am now the proud owner of a black Electra Amsterdam Classic 3 bike.

I so excited to ride it up to the first farmers market this year in my neighborhood tomorrow morning!  They had these awesome blackberries last year.  They were so good, and I don’t normally like blackberries.  So, I find myself anxiously counting down to blackberry season this year!

I’ve been playing more pinball.  The other day when we were playing the ball got stuck and we had to tilt the machine to get it to come back down.  You can choose your theme music while you’re playing.  Your choices are: C&C Music Factory “Gonna Make You Sweat”, “Lethal Weapon 3″ Theme, or ZZ Top “Sharp Dressed Man”.  I tend to do better without the C&C Music Factory.  I am learning just how much pinball is a very auditory game and picking up aural clues.  

Although with ZZ Top in the mind, this link seemed even funnier.  I would link straight to the picture, but if I did that, it would actually show a pretty obscene picture because the site doesn’t like people linking their content and stealing their bandwidth and pageviews.

I finally saw Juno.  It was really cute.  And the best part was the 90-minute run time.  Perfect movie length!  Easily able to be stretched to two hours with commercials.  It will make a Saturday or Sunday afternoon classic I’m sure.  I am now off to watch a couple episodes of Mad Men bought from the iTunes Store.

I know there were no posts last week, but I was so stinkin’ busy with school! I am sitting in class right now, and we just finished our presentation. It went alright- probably could have done better, but it’s over now, and for that I am happy. I did post a cheesy video of the kitties over on Blip.tv last week, but I’ll include it at the end of this post since you probably didn’t see it. I promise there will be a proper post tonight or tomorrow. I have seriously been swamped and I am just overjoyed that my semester is now done! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOEEEEEE!

So, the last couple days have been pretty busy.  I’m in the middle of writing a case in the voice of someone who works at a nonprofit organization, but in the other room I am transferring files from my old G5 Dual 2 GHz to a new Intel Mac Pro.  I am using a crappy old Dell monitor of Rob’s (like it looks like there is something wrong with it) while I wait for mine to arrive.  I am really excited to use the new computer!  The G5 will be repurposed because it still works pretty well (knock on wood).

In my class last night this really cool guy came and talked to us about the nonprofit sector.  His name was Robert Egger, and he was very inspiring, and I highly recommend you check out his blog.  Watch the videos.  Read up on his NPO the DC Central Kitchen.  The guy is really cool.  

Chew on that while I set up the new computer and finish up my schoolwork.  Tomorrow I should have some pictures for you.

Oh, and head over to Carisse’s blog in the meantime, and see if she has any updates from the Obama rally in South Bend. And enjoy this picture of Nico.
