Heroes, the show on NBC, just keeps getting better and better. If this show gets canceled like Firefly, I might need to stop watching TV.
departed queens and children
Wow! Three highly rated movies opened this weekend. Who’s with me?! The Departed, The Queen, and Little Children. The little I read about Little Children didn’t make me jump out of my seat, but it does have Kate. Ever since Spotless Mind, she’s been a must see in my book. I’ll probably see The Queen first since it’s playing within walking distance of both our apartment and darn good milk shakes. Have a great weekend Kevin! And Mike, call me to see some of deese movies.
eureka strikes out
I’ve watched enough of sci fi’s eureka to decide it’s just plain silly. Nice try but there’s not enough beef. Oh well.
book cleanup
My dresser was piled a little too high with books both read and unread. Books from the read pile heading to a new pile elsewhere: Dragonmaster, The Last World War, Bedlam’s Bard, and The Witches of Eileanan. Already removed from the dresser to the virtual pile of books lent to friends is Diver Down. When the dresser pile isn’t so high, I’ll return to some of these series or authors.
freediving with dolphins
Can’t wait to work my way up to freediving with dolphins.
diving on a wreck
On the 23rd, I think Scott and I will be diving to see the SueJac. We won’t be going inside or anything too wild, but it should be pretty cool anyway!
dive 6 done
Scott and I safely completed the 3R’s morning of training and did a short dive afterwards. Slack tide (or slack water is close enough) would have been better, but it wasn’t terrible when we exited out of the water about 2 hours after high tide. We actually did quite a few things wrong, but for my first dive without an instructor (and my first shore dive), I’m pleased with how it turned out.
exploding metals and more
I’m probably late to the blog party with this one, but check out this google video about exploding metals.
new car
iPaulo needs a new car. The 1995 Honda sedan needs too much work to make it worthwhile. I’m not interested in big gas guzzlers, I would like something kind of fun, city living friendly (smallish), maybe with some cargo space for scuba gear. Send suggestions by any means necessary.
diving continues part II
Well, diving will now continue as a PADI open water certified diver. Woot! Dove the rookery at Santa Barbara Island, which was just teaming with sea lions. They came right up to us, swam, danced, stared. It was amazing. Fortunately, they didn’t “chew on fins or snorkels“. (Gotta ask Brian about that one!) I wonder if chewing on fins would be considered an attack, or just play. Brian said he’s never seen them attack anyone. Can’t wait to see the photos classmates and instructor took.
