I’m behind. I’ve been behind since day 2. I don’t want to talk about how far behind I am. Let’s see where the day takes us.

I’ve turned the Nanocam on, but before too long I am going to need to go and put the pork chops in the oven. Mmmmm… pork chops.

We just returned from Costco where I bought something I’ve wanted for years. A DVD of a fire in a fireplace. No, I am not kidding. I don’t have a fireplace, but I love them. And really, what is a writing environment without a crackling fire, this time of year? No, it does not give off heat, but the heat vent is right below my feet, if I really need it. It may sound weird, but the fact that the television is occupied with something makes it less of a temptation to turn it on and watch it.

As a bonus my Feuvision came bundled with Eauvsion and a Hivervision. Each one comes with the same selection of Jazz, Ambient, Classical, and Holiday Traditional music on it. The fireplace comes with fireplace sounds. The winter dvd comes with winter sounds, whatever they may be. But the fish tank comes with ocean sounds. Which is a bit disappointing because I think I’d rather have fish tank noises. However, the scenes change, and it’s not always a tank, but sometimes fish in a more natural environment. We have the fish on right now. The ocean sounds were not enough to mask the music coming from Wil’s headphones (he’s going to go deaf I swear) so I am actually listening to the sound of thunderstorms on my headphones.

It’s a variable potpourri of nature sounds, I’ll tell you what.

I’m saving the fire for after dark.
