Festival Season |
Nearly five months into the new year and here my first post of 2012. Over the last several months I lost one job and started looking for another one. I started going to the gym and exercising for the first time in my life. I thought I might lack the self discipline to keep up that routine, but it hasn’t been a problem. Eating less, however, has been more of a challenge… and exercise doesn’t matter too much when you’re trying to lose weight if you don’t eat less.
April and early May make up festival season here it New Orleans. It’s been great so far and Jazz Fest starts in a couple days. This year’s French Quarter Festival was possibly the biggest ever. The music and food were awesome as always, and the weather was very agreeable this year. Unlike previous years, I didn’t find myself following a specific schedule to catch certain bands. I was content to wander around, so I didn’t get the volume of photographs I normally shoot for.
NOLA Navy Week followed French Quarter Fest… filling a typical two week lull before Jazz Fest. I only got to partially take advantage of the events but I did tour the amphibious assault ship U.S.S. Wasp. It’s an impressive vessel, about the size of a cruise ship, but it would still be dwarfed by an aircraft carrier. The ship’s crew was aboard to entertain questions from the public. Everyone I interacted with was exceptionally cordial and accommodating. Like most people, I’m in awe of those who volunteer to serve in our armed forces.
As I conclude this excuse for an entry, Jazz Fest is just two days away. I hope to summarize that experience with another entry.

2011 VAIO Wallpapers |
This year's series of desktop wallpapers released with the new lineup of Sony VAIO computers is now online. I hadn't seen them pop up elsewhere on the internet so I again enlisted the help of members at the Notebook Review Forum and got a quick response. I would still like to get the special "Extraction of VAIO Design" content from My VAIO Gold Pass but I have not found it avaliable freely online yet.
Arguably the biggest and best message board for wristwatches, Watchuseek has tens of thousands of members discussing just about every make of watch. I recently bought my first mechanical automatic watch and this forum was quite helpful in my shopping and research.
