So had a really quiet fourth of july (worked that afternoon and it was a really HOT day)

But happy Independence Day (belated) to all us US citizens! (there is something of the US left still, amazingly....)

Working at Lowe's Home Improvement these days. It's not bad (get to use power equipment a lot), but I definitely get my exercise at work most days (I'm in the lumber and building materials department - turns out stuff like concrete is Heavy. Who knew?)

Wanting but failing motivation to get my camera back out and do some photo stuff lately :/

How are y'all?

Ah, yeah, belated happy Independence Day to you Americans!
Though, in hindsight, wouldn't you rather have had the Queen as head of state ;)

One of my colleagues had her birthday on the same day. If only she'd been born in the US she'd have had fireworks on her birthdays.
Oh well, we have other nice things on other days.

For the rest it's mostly same ol' same ol'.

I dunno- I think the Queen is head of enough states already. :P

Doing pretty well- I had a nice time watching the fireworks (it was a lovely night for it too, not like last year, when it was raining). I'm currently job hunting, which is rather bleh, but on the other hand I finally got a car, and got a new computer, so that's nice.

...Now that you mention it, it's been forever since I put any pictures up on DeviantArt. Should probably do that sometime- I've got enough nice ones.

Yes, you definitely should ^__^

I need to get the camera out there and actually take some. Seeing your productivity would help even more guilting me into action, right? (sounds plausible at least yeah?)

And me and the wife are tossing around ideas for a house - gotta a good potential spot that would lend itself to a spiffy house-in-a-hill design (like a hobbit hole, but less short and round)

Ah. And ecologically sound as well. Cool in summer, warm in winter. But wouldn't you have to do without windows? Some natural light would be good. (Says the guy that keeps his curtains closed day and night.)

We'll have windows in parts of the house (possibly a skylight for our bedroom). Yeah, light is an important consideration but I have to say for myself comfortable temperature (in my experience so far) trumps light as a priority.

Do you and your wife agree on what a comfortable temperature is? I've heard a lot of couples have different ideas about that (generally that men like it a bit colder and women warmer).

We're usually in the same neighborhood at least. You have to push pretty past my 'ideal' in order to make me uncomfortable enough to say anything (and not just with temperature) so it's not much of an issue.

The actual floorplan is definitely having a lot of back and forth of different ideas though.

Happy Black Friday!

Apparently it's a thing we do now as well. But without the violence and without any really good deals.

Honestly, even over here, it's debatable whether there are all that many really good deals (since some stores will raise prices some at the end of October, so their "sale prices" and "really good deals" aren't actually all that much cheaper than normal).

Yeah, I guess they rely on people having really bad memories.
And (at least around here) they often calculate their X% off compared to the "suggested retail price" rather than any price anyone anywhere has actually ever asked for it.

Cool! I don't remember the last time we had a white Christmas.
We had a blanket of snow one or two weeks ago, but it always seems to miss Christmas somehow.
