CAT | Trips
In faster-than-usual fashion, pictures from my recent trip to the Dominican Republic are now available in the gallery. I took well over 400 pictures during this trip, although there are only around 150 or so uploaded, mostly because some of the pictures are redundant and, well, 400 is a lot!
Although you can certainly view all the pictures from the gallery on my blog, in a very small number of cases where the picture caption is particularly long, they may get cut off (due, I believe, to a small technical issue with Shadowbox JS). Also, due to another technical issue (maybe kPicasa Gallery?), videos don’t seem to be working through the gallery (there are only 4 or so, so not a substantial amount). If you want the full, unadulterated viewing experience–i.e., no captions ever clipped, and videos–you can view the album at my Picasa Web Albums page.

I’ve returned from a glorious trip to the Dominican Republic… almost. Apparently, the U.S. went and decided to bury itself under mountains of snow while I was soaking up the sun in Punta Cana, and unfortunately my flight from Newark to Chicago–where I’m supposed to be for the Christmas holiday–was canceled. My flight from Punta Cana to Newark, aside from being ridiculously late, went off more or less without a hitch, although apparently the plane’s trans-oceanic/long distance radio malfunctioned so we had to stay closer to land which added some time to our flight. Didn’t matter of course since my connection was canceled. In any event, I’m blogging from the Crowne Plaza near Newark International, and am very much hoping I can make it on to one of the four flights bound for Chicago tomorrow morning. Keep your fingers crossed.
And man it’s nice to have Internet again!

I’ve blogged about this topic earlier, but some things deserve extra time in the sunshine. As some of you know, I’ve been batting around the idea of acquiring a new digital music player. While I’m very fond of my iRiver iFP-790, my recent fascination with Amazon mp3 downloads has shown me (reminded me?) that 256MB is not a particularly generous amount of storage these days. Still, I’m serious when I declare that my iFP-790 has served me very well, and it dawned on me the other day that as I’ve embarked on this search for the successor to my trusty digital music player in red, I’m basically looking for the exact same player, but with more storage space.
Happy post Thanksgiving to all. I’ve been in Chicago for the turkey holiday, but will be sure to blog about this particularly fattening holiday when I’m back in Seattle.
By the way, you should all go see Slumdog Millionaire. What a great movie.

On Friday evening, Bryan and I embarked on a 315-mile journey from Seattle to Pullman, WA to attend the Apple Cup, an annual football game between Washington’s cross-state rivals, the University of Washington Huskies, and the Washington State University Cougars (and a big thanks to Rich and his lucky wife for the tickets!). In the process, I saw more rolling hills, grain fields, and crimson-covered college students than I’ve seen in my entire life.
