Take your blog to work day!

Since I got a new camera and a desire to use it. Here is a picture of my work area.

A close-up of my desk crew.

Just starting when everyone else is finishing.

We had a full weekend. It was filled with food, folks and fun (but absolutely no McDonalds!) Yes, we picked up the new Harry Potter book at the midnight release, but we were not able to crack it open until Monday. Amethyst and I read the Potter books out loud to each other. It is a great way to enjoy the book and it prevents any fighting over who gets to read it first.

We started the book in the car on the way to work. By the time we went to bed at midnight, we had just finished chapter seven. We are moving very quickly and while I want this final book to last, I hate when we have to stop reading to do just mundane things like work, eat or take a shower. All of these tasks get in the way of finding out what happens next.

I think Amethyst and I should have taken this week off.

It was a great day!

Trailers

My friend mentioned that all the good action sequences of "Live Free or Die Hard" were in the trailer of the film as well. I agreed.

If filmmakers are filming extra scenes for the DVD release, why isn't extra footage being shot for the trailers. Many great scenes have been muted due to already seeing them. As soon as I saw the helicopter in the film, I kept trying to figure at what point the car was going to be driven into helicopter. I knew it was going to happen, just wasn't sure when.

I liked the movie (even if it is over-the-top), but I wish I could have experienced many of the action for the first time during the film.

Wakka-Wakka

I'm hooked on Pac-Man Championship Edition. I like to have my computer wallpaper match the game I'm currently playing. Finding some good Pac-Man wallpaper was actually pretty challenging.

I wasn't beaten though as I found this website that had some great Pac-Man wallpapers. Enjoy.
