If you've been an avid reader of this here blog and are friends with me on Facebook, I'd be interested to see how you do on my "How well do you know me?" quiz. I've mentioned most of the answers on here at one point or another, so with a little sleuthing (or a good memory) you could end up with a decent score.
Not sure how to post it here, but you can find it on my wall somewhere.
So I've started using Tumblr, and while I'm not totally sure how it works yet, I find it kind of interesting. I don't make posts directly on Tumblr, but my page is a sort of catchall for my blog posts, Twitter updates, and shared links from Facebook. (It may also have my Flickr photos, but I haven't done any in a while, so I don't remember.)
It doesn't go all the way back to the beginning of each, but I like it because not all sites are the best for doing all things and this is a good way to have the best of everything all together. Go have a look should you feel so inclined. Enjoy!
I'm always reaching this point where I could write a post about any one of six million things, but for some reason I never get around to writing about any of them. I guess you could keep up with my happenings via Twitter or Facebook, though, so maybe you're not *too* far out of the loop. ;)
Today is my parents' wedding anniversary, and it's one of the big-deal ones. (Tomorrow is the anniversary of the day they met, which was a year before they got married.) I wish I could have been there to help celebrate.
We got them tickets to see Jerry Seinfeld's show at Foxwoods. A long time ago they were supposed to go see him at the Bushnell on New Year's Eve, but my sister Maggie (who was probably less than a year old at the time) got sick and they couldn't go. So we knew this was something they would have wanted and I'm sure it's going to be a great show. :)
The picture of them in this post is from my sister Kelly's wedding. I liked this shot because they too are K + J.
I know that they read this, so I will say now: Happy Anniversary, Mom and Dad! I love you!

My laptops have a nice tendency to crash when I need them most, causing me to lose important files on my hard drive. So, after burning through three laptops in four years (actually, the first one was stolen), I decided to invest in an external hard drive to back up my stuff.
I've been backing up my thesis documents and my iTunes files there semi-regularly. And this week, I moved all my photos off of my laptop's hard drive and onto the external drive. (I also have them on Flickr, so I consider that a second backup.) But even after all this, I find my laptop's space running out fairly quickly. Moving the photos cleared out 8GB, but I'd like to clean it up a little more. Any tips on how to find files/programs on a PC that could easily be deleted or moved and not be missed?
On another note, i'm trying to import my posts into Tumblr. I was really hoping it would back up all my old posts, but I think it's only doing the ones from when I started the site. This is my first blog post since then, so we'll see what happens.
Back to...gulp...work now! xxx
