A few notes

A while back, I talked about my grandmother who's (whose? damn grammar) health is failing. She's been incredibly strong-willed and is still putting up the good fight. On the other hand, her mental state is deteriorating. She's convinced that everyone is out to get her. For instance, she thinks that both my mom and step-dad are sneaking into her house and stealing stuff to sell so that they can make money for their non-existent drug addiction. She's called the police so often that they actually picked her up and took her in for a mental evaluation. The tricky thing is that she's incredibly sharp most of the time. It seems that her overactive imagination is so vivid that when she's alone, she believes whatever her mind makes up as the truth. She insists that my mom has also been dropping off a little girl at her house, though I have no sister, nor are there any young girls that my mom could leave at my grandmother's. The list goes on, but her trust in her own family is dwindling away, and it's incredibly sad. I guess there's finally enough evidence that she needs to be in an assisted living facility (speaking of which, I can't believe how hard it is to get enough evidence for it), so I guess that will be the focus for her next book of poems. That is if she's still writing of course.

I've decided to put up a space for myself on the internet. Not a community or anything, just a place for me to put crap that I like, links to that which interests me, and some photos. I'm thinking of having a desktop picture of the week kind of thing, in an effort to help give me a focus for my photography. It'll give me an excuse to spend a day of each week driving around absorbing the state of California with my lens. I think it'll be a good way to track the progress of my artistic skill with a camera. I'll put a link to it when it's up and running, but for now, just this friendly warning will have to do.

Been really busy at work, getting overtime (which is nice because I'm broke), and I still really dig my job. Of all the things that have come of my divorce, my job has got to be the best of my luck. I work with great people, sell great products, teach people new things, and just bs about things that I like. I can't ask for much more, but I'm trying to get promoted, or at least work on a development plan to get moving ahead. Gotta keep moving up and making more money so I can get back to a more rural area one day. Montana has been calling my name since the day I left and I'd love to make it back there. Oh, on a work related note, the iPhone comes out on Friday. Have you seen the new demo video? I can't wait. I feel like I'm 7 and waiting for Christmas. This week could possibly be the longest of my life.

More to come later in the week perhaps. Been meaning to blog a bit more, but just haven't gotten around to it.

Edit: Had a cool idea about the photos and the desktop pattern idea.  Of course it involves my latest obsession...  A place to get iPhone wallpapers.  Zomg, I'm such a nerd.  Can't wait to get started...
