Well.. my $8 mini digital camera didn’t work out so well, so Janiece got me another camera that’s small enough to fit in my book bag. (Thanks!) It’s 1.3 megapixel, but I have it set to the lowest res 640×480 (I shrink all the pics down to 320×240.)
Here’s a sample picture… this is the building that I work at in Manhattan on Broadway:
Our office is on the 2nd story (see the big, arched windows? that’s me right there.)
More pictures to come soon…
as some of you are already aware, jabba has a cousin, mickey. jabba wanted to dedicate a post to mickey since he misses him so much (since certain people don’t want to drive over and visit us, you know who you are… ;)).
here is a current picture of mickey..isn’t he a stud? posing with his paw on a rock like he’s posing for ‘play pug’ or something…
mickey and jabba go way back…all the way back to may! that’s like 5 dog years! here’s mickey and jabba when they were both younger.
as soon as they met, they knew they’d be buddies….look how nice they’re sharing 😉
and finally, we’ll end on a picture of mickey when he was still little. this pic was taken after a good round of pug wrestling, ending with both dogs lying prone on the floor, panting, too worn out to stand.
as i was sitting on the couch, making a doctor’s appointment, i realized that jabba’s strikingly handsome mug hadn’t graced the blog in a couple days. so, i am now pleased to give you…..jabba!
this is jabba’s oldest toy, which had been in the “hospital” (aka on top of the ‘fridge) for a while. i did a bunch of surgeries yesterday and his bunny was among the wounded. looks like he’s lost his ear and part of his cranium.
i found these at the new little organic food market today and couldn’t hold myself back. as soon as i say the words “you want a treat, jabba?” he jumps to attention (even from a dead sleep) and runs in the kitchen. hehe 🙂
here’s my tip can from work. much excitement, much excitement……
Not much has happened this week, so the bloggin’s been pretty slow. Mostly just work.. and more work. Same thing day in and day out. I can’t wait until it’s not dark after I get done with work. Then maybe I can walk somewhere or see something before getting on the subway to go home–or maybe Candice and I could go walk somewhere, or take our puppy to the park!
I’m going to be getting a new digital camera soon. It’s not super-duper camera, but it’s compact and that’s all I care about–it will fit in my bag easily! (Thanks Janiece! I hope Al’s computer is still working better.) Besides, I’m just going to use it for pictures for the blog and those are only 320×240 pixels anyway! Expect more pictures of Manhattan in the future…
eric and i had a splendid time today. we actually managed to drag our sorry butts out of the house at 9.30 this morning! ::gasp:: we decided to just go to lexington avenue and pop in and out of stores, just for the heck of it. i was in search of a certain dog collar in green or orange, but the little pet boutiques i went to didn’t have them. 🙁 we did see some cute puppies jumping and wrassling in the pet store windows. they’re so cute! poor little guys, stuck there in a window. it makes me want to buy them all just to save them! anyhoo…up the street a bit we stopped by pylones, which is a super cute and fun store filled with so many cute things you’ll wish you could buy the whole store. since i was only carrying so much money on me, i opted to buy a tea spoon. i’ve been lusting after one of these babies ever since i read the little blurb about it on popgadget.net. i got the brown one and can’t wait to try it out tonight. i think i’ll make my vanilla/hops combo..it’s SOOOO good!
anyhoo…eric and i went our seperate ways for the next 45 minutes. he to amble around, waiting for somebody famous to hop out of some black, washington-licensed suburbans, and me to you & i, a cute little store with lots of jewelry. we then met up again at h&m to buy stuff, duh. 🙂
for lunch we went to california pizza kitchen. eventhough we live in new york and should be eating some of the best pizza in the country, we’ve been craving cali pizza lately. we totally didn’t know that they had a chain here, but they do! 🙂 however…..something was seriously wrong…..those of you who have patronized CPK in cali know that it’s generally not a mayhem inducing environment. not so in new york. it was a MAD HOUSE. aparently it’s THE place to come if you have 2 or more screeming kids, ’cause seriously…..80% of the patrons were noisy families….it was like chucky cheese with gourmet pizza. it just felt wrong…but the food was oh so yummy! our tummies couldn’t hear the noise, and thus were completely happy. 🙂 after we ate, we came home, with several stops including a japanese market for prepackaged miso soup, and then the thrift store. now it’s home sweet home. 🙂 ou puppy was very happy to see us, as usual. 🙂
oh, and here is a random picture of eric and i waiting for the train at broadway. i’m sorry you can’t see anything but us!
have a super duper weekend!
unfortunately we have no clear pictoral evidence of marc and shannon’s visitation. eric snapped a few pics, but they were all fuzzy. the only clear picture was of eric in his dorky, “3-D” glasses sitting next to marc on the couch. marc and shannon took lots of pictures while they were here, but, alas, they are not on my computer. it was great having them. thanks for coming guys! i hope you had an enjoyable time. now it’s time for even more people to visit us! 🙂
so yeah…i like working in the cafe alot. i love making yummy tea and coffee beverages for people. soy una barista! 🙂 we’ve been watchin’ a bunch of x-files lately, too. but we’ve run out! we have yet to see season 8 and 9. tonight we’re gonna watch ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie’. can you believe it?! eric has never seen it!!! ::gasp:: a classic! we watched ‘Sid and Nancy’ while marc and shannon were here, but it was my pick, and i don’t think it was a success with the other 3 people watching it. 😉 i liked it though! gary oldman as sid vicious was super cute and the chick who played nancy kinda reminded me of miss piggy. must have been the hair and voice. 🙂
i’m also trying to make up my mind about what i want to do next. it’s between pursuing nursing to become an RN or getting my master’s in library science. both take 2 years to complete, which isn’t bad. both interest me, too, so it’s been hard to make a final decision. i really want to do both!!!! i will eventually post my final decision, though!
anyhoo…have a super thursday and friday everybody!
Has anybody seen this yet–Alan Wake? It’s a game that’s coming out sometime this year for PC, Xbox 360, and PS3. I looks really cool–the graphics in the trailers are amazing. One of the cool thing it has is realistic day/night time shadows/hues depending on what time of day it is. Here are some screenshots: 1 2 3 4. Pretty soon computer graphics will be almost indistinguishable from real life–well, almost. Now all they need is to invent more involving technologies to ‘put you in the game.’
If anybody wants to buy me an Athlon 64 4800+ processor, 2 GeForce7800GTX video cards, 2GB RAM, and a 24″ widescreen LCD for my computer I would not complain. 😉
