Moonlit Jazz

I’m trying out two different photoblog services, Textamerica and Buzznet. I love the idea of emailing my photos and having them appear soon after online. (If I had a camera phone, I’d be having way too much fun!) But my dilemna at the moment is which to use. I like both interfaces, though Buzznet is a bit more community oriented and Textamerica has more customization. I tried an experiment to see which was faster (I sent the same picture to both places). They both arrived at their respective sites at the same time BUT Textamerica seems to update faster on this page, which is the important thing, right? 😉 I dunno.

I started with Buzznet because it was suggested in Blogger’s FAQ. And so far it’s pretty groovy. But now that I’ve signed up with Textamercia, I wonder if I should give that one a whirl too. It just seems faster than Buzznet…

My new PDA!

Actually, it’s just new to me. I got the Husband’s old PDA, the iPAQ 1910. It’s smaller than my other PDA (ViewSonic V35) and the sound is much better. Although now that I have an iPod, I guess I won’t be listening to much music on the PDA. 😉

A wedding in Foster City

My friend got married yesterday in Foster City. The ceremony was at Leo Ryan Park and the banquet was across the street. It was a lovely wedding and a food filled banquet. 😉 My first Chinese wedding!

The ceremony was short and sweet. The aisle was strewn with rose petals and at the end was a circle made of petals for the bride and groom. The clouds broke long enough for the ceremony, but the wind was steady through it all.

The banquet was great! Lots of food in different stages. Many of the dishes were new to me, so it was great trying out different things.

What I wasn’t used to was no rice! The fried rice came at the end. Our tablemates said that there would be no rice because there isn’t usually rice at banquets. I managed fine without it. I think it made me eat more of the dishes, which is probably the point. 😉

I only got to see two of my friend’s dresses– her wedding dress and her red traditional dress. We left before her final outfit change. I’m not sure what her final dress was going to be. Both dresses I saw were lovely. The red dress was gorgeous!

My friend looked so happy and I am so happy for her and her husband. Here’s to a long and prosperous life!

“Mulder’s the best bunter,” said Hudson… – Read about the pitchers and their adventures in the batting cage. 😉

And you can never ever go wrong with posting a Mulder picture, right?

OHHH! And a reminder for tomorrow:

Funshows.com – According to an email I got: “Mark will be at the Vallejo fairgrounds May 22 2004 5pm as a autograph guest after the game”

The funshows.com website only has this info for that day:
Collectible Expo – Cards-Stamps-Coins & More
May 21-22-23 2004
Vallejo – Solano County Fairgrounds

Wish I could be there. 😉

Speaking of tomorrow…

My friend from high school is getting married tomorrow. Yes, another wedding. I’m so excited for her! And it will be nice to see her. It’s been much too long since we last got together. And I’ll be sure to post some pictures afterwards.

First off, baseball. At this very moment, the A’s are leading the Kansas City Royals 7-0 in the top of the 7th. Mulder is pitching. 🙂 Bobby Crosby has hit two homeruns so far. Go rookie! LOL!

Second thing, photos. At this very moment, I’m printing photos from our anniversary party. This HP Photosmart 245 printer is way groovy. Sure, it only prints up 4×6 pictures, but it’s perfect for photo albums! 😀

THE SCREEN SAVERS

I got a phone call from the 415 this morning. It was Diane from TechTV and she wanted to know if I was still interested in tickets to The Screen Savers. HECK YEAH! So the Husband and I are heading out to San Francisco on June 10th for that day’s filming of The Screen Savers. We get to see Patrick, Kevin, and Sarah in real life! Woohoo!

BUZZNET

Yes, I have something new. A moblog! Okay, I don’t have a camera phone (darn it!), but I do have a digital camera and the Husband’s Zire72. And since I’m online all the time anyway, I can easily email my photos to Buzznet and there they are! The Quick Shots section on the sidebar should feature the latest photos uploaded in the particular galleries. Right now I have it set to show my baseball photo gallery and my main gallery. I might add the family and friends gallery. Or a places one. I’m not sure yet. I don’t want to clutter the blog too much. 😛

A’s win!

Wow, that was a fast game! But Mulder is a quick one. I wonder how long before my postgame report arrives…

Detroit 2, Oakland 3 at Network Associates Coliseum

Winning Pitcher – Tim Hudson (5-1)
Losing Pitcher – Jamie Walker (0-1)
SV – Arthur Rhodes(8)

DET Runs: 2, Hits: 10, Errors: 2
OAK Runs: 3, Hits: 8, Errors: 1

Oakland Record: (22-18)

I didn’t get to watch this game. 🙁 But I’m glad they won. Woohoo! A win is always a good thing. And a Hudson win is ever always a good thing.

I did get to watch the end of the Cardinals/Mets game. Cards won. 😀 Isringhausen pitched the ninth even though it was a non-save situation. It’s always good to see him pitch. 😉

A burning candle…
