My first new pair of glasses in quite a few years. Hooray for work-provided insurance.<\/li>\n<li>Saturday: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.siteforrent.com\/\" title=\"Rent official site\">Rent<\/a> at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theparamount.com\/paramount.html\" title=\"Paramount Theater\">Paramount<\/a>. I don&#8217;t really know that much about <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rent_(musical)\" title=\"Rent\">Rent<\/a>, but Prairie assures me that it&#8217;s wonderful, so we&#8217;re going.<\/li>\n<li>Next month: vacation time! I&#8217;ll be in Anchorage from late in the evening Sept.\u00a010th to mid-day sometime (if I&#8217;m remembering correctly) Sept.\u00a018th. Birthday celebration for dad on the 15th, genealogical ramblings with mom, and hanging out with as many Anchorage-based friends as possible during the week I&#8217;m there. Really looking forward to this, as while I&#8217;ve had a few weekend trips from time to time, this will be my first decent vacation (week long, paid, etc.) in quite a few years.<\/li>\n<li>When it comes out: install MT3.1 onto my webserver to upgrade Kirsten and Dad&#8217;s weblogs (and hopefully provide a bit more spam protection) without having to try to migrate them to an entirely new system (and, quite possibly, prepare to move Eclecticism back onto my own server again).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Things I need to get around to doing:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I&#8217;ve been meaning to write something about <a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2004\/07\/okay_okay_im_aw.html\" title=\"Okay, okay, I'm awake, I get it\">The Prydain Chronicles<\/a> for a few weeks now. I really do intend to actually do so. Really.<\/li>\n<li>Another design (or six, who knows) for the site&#8217;s stylesheet switcher would be good, if I ever come up with ideas worth pursing rather than just discarding after they rattle around in my head for a few days.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Things that are distracting me from doing the things in the previous list:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Making sure all my photos are imported into <a href=\"http:\/\/www.apple.com\/ilife\/iphoto\/\" title=\"Apple - iLife - iPhoto\">iPhoto<\/a> and sorted\/dated\/labeled correctly, so I can archive my current photo library to CD before updating iPhoto to the newest version (as there have been some reports of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.macfixit.com\/article.php?story=20040809083648633&amp;query=iphoto+4.0.3\" title=\"iPhoto 4.0.2\/4.0.3: Problems resolved by version 4.0.3; Loss of entire photo library\">issues<\/a> with the most recent update).<\/li>\n<li>Watching <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/redirect?tag=djwudicom-20&amp;path=tg\/stores\/series\/-\/738\" title=\"Buffy the Vampire Slayer\">Buffy<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/redirect?tag=djwudicom-20&amp;path=tg\/stores\/series\/-\/45904\" title=\"Angel\">Angel<\/a> as fast as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.netflix.com\/\" title=\"NetFlix\">NetFlix<\/a> can send me the DVDs. I&#8217;m up to Season Five of Buffy, and Season Two of Angel, and am really enjoying both. Much of the fun is that I&#8217;ve never seen these before, so it&#8217;s all entirely new to me &#8212; so things like Dawn suddenly appearing out of nowhere throw me for a loop (and I was quite happy to get some answers to <em>that<\/em> little plot twist during last night&#8217;s Buffy session).<\/li>\n<li>Procrastination.
