Just watched Ender's Game with @Dominica and my niece.
What did you think of it? I liked the practice field where shoot the others froze them. That tech would be fun and useful now....

Well, I think that the components of the story have been overdone so much since the book was written that that took something out of it. The movie lacked good cohesion. Had breakfast with my SIL this morning and she loves the book but hates the movie. She said that the book isn't all disjointed and nonsensical like the movie and is way better. I've been planning on reading it, it just hasn't made my current reading list yet (so many things to read!)
Overall it was good, but I had guessed what was happening in the first few minutes. It's a good story and makes an important social point (that's the best thing that sci fi does, IMHO) and it was a great vehicle for that but I imagine that the book will be way better.

Good morning to all!!
Preparing off to work now.. -

We didn't really celebrate New Year's Eve on the day because some of the family had to work. So celebrating it with a family party today. @dominica and her sister are out buying Cards Against Humanity and some GoPro supplies right now.
-
Going back and forth with support on an issue. @scottalanmiller has been kind enough to take time from his plans for a nice conversation about Firewalls and such.
Updating a computer, downloading an ISO and planning lunch... -
Just got back home from Chicago. Dealing with wound up kids while unpacking.
-
Working on how to address some issues at work...
-
Good morning to all!!
At work now, looking forward for another 10K run tomorrow. -
Good afternoon. Just getting moving again. Been pretty busy with family stuff in Houston.
Looks like we are driving to Ohio on Tuesday.

For what?
-
See my family.

@scottalanmiller Don't know if you'll be coming up i-75, but if you find that you are,.. Holler... Office and house is pretty close.
Taking down the holiday stuff,.. starting the process of reducing some of the electronic devices in the house. From the comments from the younger populace - I need to ante up on the Firewall here to do some filtering... They are obsessed with YouTube Videos on MindCraft, and some just are not age appropriate....
-
Not sure what route we are taking. Not likely I75, though, that's not along any of the routes AFAIK.
-
Gaming group Christmas party.

Unlikely that it would be. From your current location you're likely to go up i-65 to i-71 to just south of Cincinnati... It doesn't make sense to put extra miles and time on you when you are already looking at a 17 hour drive ( Houston, TX to Dayton, OH).
There will be another time maybe..
As for WAIDRN:
DoD wiping a laptop
Learning Windodws 8 and photos.
House still smells like Alder smoke from the Salmon I made for dinner... Listening to the rain drip on the window and watch Milo (the kitten) play with some NERF darts.Debating if I want to watch TV....
-
Just done eating my Lunch.
Now thinking what should i do next?
To Run, drink, sleep or going to attend mass
Feeling silly.. -
Started watching Heartbreak Ridge but mini-nadnerB woke up, so I'll finish it later
-
Well, finishing Heartbreak Ridge will have to wait for another day.
Listening to a few favourite songs in preparation for going to work tomorrow.
Holidays are over
