Say cheese

For Christmas one of the gifts that my Dad got me was a pretty sweet webcam. I think the idea was that they (the 'rents) and I could chat for free with the bonus of being able to see each other. So we set it up and my Dad and I tried it out today. It was pretty cool, but we couldn't get the voice to work continuously. So we used the video clip feature, it may have been that there is a firewall at Ferris I'm not sure. We are going to try it when he is a home and see how it goes there. I'm hoping that we can get my Mom in on the whole thing so I can chitchat with her too. I'm also thinking my Sistrah probably has a webcam running around somewhere in that great big house of technology of hers, so maybe we could get that going too. It being free is a big plus so maybe other people I know will want to participate (Jason hmm? hmm?).

I spent most of the rest of today catching up on some housework. With Jason coming tomorrow I felt the need to tidy up a bit, although not nearly the whirlwind that happened before my parents came (sorry J). Mostly the kitchen, bathrooms, and whatnot. I like the look of the white tile in the entryway, kitchen, and bathrooms, but it does show the hair and dirt something wicked after just a few days. Since both the puppy (the entryway) and I (the master bathroom) shed quite a bit I end up vacuuming every other day or so. Kind of a pain, but it's doable, except every time I vacuum I have to sit down with the stupid thing and cut my stupid hair off of the rotary part thingy on the bottom. If I don't I start smelling the wonderful smell of burning hair and eventually it will bollix up the whole thing. Super, another reason not to have long hair.
