Another week, another weekend. Time seems to be just flying by. Days pass way to quickly at work. And Gunner is as feisty as ever. We took him to the Vienna dog park and he had a blast chasing and being chased by other dogs. Kelly and I try to spend a lot of time with him during the weekends to make up for working so much during the week. When we walk him, we try to go by a playground (there are a lot of them out here) so he can run around. He even goes down the slides on his own! We could never get Ed to do that.

Kelly and I saw Superbad today. It was really funny, in a dry, subtle sort of way. The way the characters interact with each other and the things they say are pretty hilarious. We saw it in this really old multiplex theater that's close to our house. I doesn't have stadium seating, or even cupholders in the seats. And the seats are partially leather, so they squeak every now and then. But the awesome thing is that nobody goes there, so it's less stressful for us, which is important to us nowadays.

There are too many bugs here!

Windows Vista still sucks, but my data turns out to be fine. I have to just remember to turn off the thumbnail view before I open my data directory. Vista Explorer still crashes when I try to drag and drop files, though.

Let me just state or the record that Windows Vista sucks, Sucks, SUCKS! It is slowly corruping my TEM data every time it tries to "index" my files. Afterwards, I can't open or delete them!

It's been a hectic few days, so I'm very glad the weekend is here. In grad school I only had to worry about one research project. At NRL I'm working on three different projects! Then on Thursday the tread came off my front passenger tire while I was driving on the beltway. Both my front tires were almost bald, and the DC freeway system is not in the best of conditions. The tire still holds air; it's just missing the tread. But when the tread came off it ripped everything out of my wheel well, including the wires to one of my side blinkers and the valve to my windshield wiper fluid tank. You can imagine my initial panic when I pull over and see a whole bunch of liquid pouring out of my car. I stopped by a tire place in Alexandria yesterday and got a pair of new tires, but that set me back almost $300.

Today Kelly and I went and saw the Simpson's Movie. It was actually funny. It wasn't as good as one of the classic Simpson episodes, but it was much better than recent Simpson episodes.
