Another Party

Tonight Harry and I went out to a birthday dinner for our friend Tom, yeah it's the same Tom that surprise party we went to last weekend. This was the dinner that Tom has planned, since he was unaware of his surprise party. So we celebrated Tom's birthday twice in a week. We went to a Italian place called Zach's down in Studio City. It was a fun time, lots of friends and good food.. couldn't ask for me.

Yard Work

Today I finally got some free time to work on our 2 1/2 acres of land. We have a weeks worth of rain coming and I really wanted to a start on pulling weeds. I spent from 9:30am to 1:30pm pulling weeds on a small portion of our land. Harry joined me around 12:30pm and we finished off the east side of our property. We started to dig out a drain that has been blocked since we moved in but after the long day of pulling weeds and not eating I was done for the day. I did wear gloves but unfortunately I had short sleeves and scratch the heck out of my arms.. I think I'm also allergic to the "tumble" weeds as I have red hives all over my arms and they were itching like crazy. All in all is was a good day of yard work. Now we only have another 2 acres to work on.

Owning lands is hard work...

More Podcast Editing

Seems like that's all I do nowadays, prepare, record, edited and post my Knights of the Guild podcast. It's a lot of work but it's also very enjoyable. I guess you can call it my hobby, at least one of many hobbies that I enjoy, but this one seems to be in the for front. Tonight I finished editing Episode 12 part 1 as it needs to be posted tomorrow morning.

I now have to edit Episode 12 part 2 which is uploaded on February 1st, prepare for Episode 13 which is our big party 1 year anniversary podcast set to record on January 30th at 7pm. Not only are we doing it live on Ustream we plan to have several special guest hosts, and I have to say that I'm surprised that the list keeps growing. Come Saturday the 30th it's going to be a huge podcast party.. so their is lots of planning that I have to do now. Then I'll have to figure out how to edited that down to 2 maybe 3 parts.. depending on material.

More Podcast Editing

Nothing much happened at work today. So I had a little more energy to work on an episode of Knights of the Guild. I'm almost done with Episode 12 part 1, just need to add the SFX and then start the conversion process. Need to upload in two days...

KOTG News Minicast #1

Today while I work I found out that Amazon.com gave The Guild Season 3 a release date so when I got home from work today I did a quick news minicast. Recorded, edited and uploaded it within an hour.

Show Notes: http://knightsoftheguild.com

Here’s our first “breaking news” minicast. Sometimes we have news that needs to get out there right away and we can’t wait for our regular podcasts so we created these minicast, they will only a few minutes long but will supply you with important Guildie News. Our first one is about The Guild Season 3 DVD. Including the RELEASE DATE!!!

Editing a Podcast

Even though I'm not feeling so hot I need to get started on editing my Knights of the Guild podcast Episode 12 part 1. It needs to be released in a few days. I did manage to edit some stuff at work today so that will help. Will see how far I can get before my body gives out.

Should Have Stayed Home

Still not feeling well but managing.. well until my supervising producer came in and started to yell at me. I won't go into details needless to say I'm not one who yells or take being yelled at. I was fuming and should have released but that goes against everything I am.. I know if I keep bottling it up eventually I will explode but until then... :)

Being Sick

I've been really lucky and haven't gotten really sick the past few months.. but today I have to say is the worse I have felt in a while. Currently it feels like someone is poking my eyeballs from the inside of my head. I took some medicine and hope it will allow me to get through work. Guess it could be worse.

Prop 8 Trial

The Prop 8 Trial starts today. It's to determine if Prop 8 violates our (California Gay Couples) constitutional rights to marry. The Supreme Court in all it's wisdom has banned cameras in the court room but luckily with today social media networks and blogging there are plenty of people in the court house watching the trial and giving us the play by play online. I spent the day reading what's been happening. So far it's been fairly positive stuff.. it's great that the general public will be able to hear from gay couple in loving committed relationships. Seems the defence (anti gay marriage people) whole stance is the children are the ones that will be hurt if gay couples marry. I don't know where they came up with that but they seems to be their key arguments so far. It's only day one and we have a long way to go.. but I'll continue the updates.

New Family Member

Today we found out that Harry's sister Gerda and her husband Bernd had their first baby.. a little boy. Gerda already has another boy (Leonhard) from another relationship. This is Bernd' first. He's a healthy 21.2 inches long and 8.4 pounds. Gerda gave birth at home with a midwife. Mother and baby are doing fine. Still no name...

Christmas is Over

Since we got a late start on Christmas last year I figured I'd leave everything up a bit longer then I usual do but as my weekends continue to be super busy or I continue to be super lazy I wasn't able to take everything down last weekend as planned. So today I got up early and managed to get everything down and packed away, with exception of our Christmas tree. I was going to pull is apart and put it back in the box but since we have the room I figured we'd just keep up on and together for next year. Will see if it says that way but once Harry got up he helped me carry it to the garage.

It's kind of sad looking now since we still don't have accessories or pictures up in the living room and the Christmas stuff looked so nice. But now I can continue my decorating of the living room.. so that's something to look forward too.
