In a few days I'll be flying to Vegas to go to the NAB (http://nab.org) a huge video/audio/film/broadcast/etc convention with lots and lots of cool things to see. The bummer is that we have to fly out of an airport that's 2.5 hours away at 6:45 in the morning. Oh joy, Oh rapture. The up side is that after Vegas Tim and I are going to Seattle to pick up his Dad's pick-up truck and we're driving it back. Well actually we're taking a two week road trip down the West coast and then seeing the Grand Canyon and then some canyons in Utah. woo hoo. or as the gamers these days type: "woot". I'm not really sure what that means but I suspect it means "woo hoo". Now if only I can find my camera.

This is something I wrote to someone else. It sounded like the type of thing that should go into my blog so here it is:

... My weekend was a bit on the hectic side. Mostly that is due to my room mate and his friends. Basically, it was an unofficial party Friday night and Saturday night. Mostly that involved video game tournaments and movies being watched. I really wasn't involved in any of that but when stuff is busy around you it feels hectic. Friday night I was in the mood to do some work so I spend around 9.5 hours working on a large freelance project I've been working on for months. That was after I got home from my day job. I am by no means a workaholic but sometimes you just get in a groove and go with it. Saturday I got and went to the office and picked up some video equipment. Some friends and I are making a short film and have been taping on Saturdays. We shot from around 12pm to 11:30pm with a break for dinner. Thankfully, that's the last of the things we needed to shoot with the actors (except for audio). I went to bed, got up and went to church, then lunch, then a friends house to pick up a book and then I spent most of the day reading that book. C.S. Lewis' That Hideous Strength. Oh, I also hung out with a nephew for part of the afternoon. This next weekend I'll be in PA for Easter.
