Aug. 1st, 2017 04:23 pmI'm all caught up! It's great when you have free time again. Especially when coming home means more work for me to do.
Adulting sucks.
So anyway, my last post complained about how I barely even had time to talk about the rest of my week right? Right, well...
DIY
Ever see those scenarios where you see a bomb squad defusing a bomb wire by wire by sheer chance? I had that happen with the DSL lines. When I installed the replacement phone box, I put in all the lines, all the while knowing that only two were connected.
I ended up removing only one line after watching my computer act up for yet another night and dug into the innards of the phone box yet again. The connection at the moment is now solid, or at least it was all night. I'll have to see how it fares the rest of the night once I get back.
Cooking
I made a ton of curry because our house is full of H-Mart products and I was inspired after I saw someone's meme and I have a ton of old ingredients I didn't get to use for a bunch of recipe ideas I had in my head at the time. Not from scratch this time because I wanted to actually have free time for once. I need to do something with a week and a half old bok choy and some aging brussel slaw. I'll do it soon enough.
The trip to H Mart has filled my jar with Hi-Chew candies because I liked the fizzy ones a lot.
Oh, I never mentioned it, but I made another round of food for that birthday on Wednesday night.
-Last round of lotus root, this time using the pre-boiled stuff as well
-More jeon, a vegetarian version before I added clams and shrimp and made the seafood one
This was quick in comparison to the others. Then it was putting all the stuff aside and whatever else.
Well the coworkers liked it enough to send me a thank you card and some money? Didn't expect that. Just glad all the containers are cleaned, so yay, less work for me!
The Studio
Found the problem with the range. It's not the trigger, it's the slave remotes.
The batteries in them haven't been charged in awhile. Once I gave them new batteries, I got a range of 20 feet again. I might need to ask my dad to do another shoot again so I can get some better images this time. It annoys me when I make a dumb mistake like this since two side flashes would have helped a ton.
Also finally made the payment and I'm subscribed to Capture One. Only problem now is that the program hangs every so often. I think it's because of the drive itself that it's installed on. I'll need to reinstall the program altogether and then see if there's some way to fix my drive since Windows 10 can't seem to chkdsk the drive to clean it of bad sectors.
Podcasts
Our Fair City is coming back in two weeks.
Television
Insecure is coming back after GoT! Really loved season 1 (and is anyone else in love with the fact that one of the guards from OITNB has another role in this as a slightly out of touch hippieish program director?)
Gaming
Now that Michelle got the roller, I think she's getting the hang of Splatoon 2 better. It's great seeing her enjoy this, although most of last night didn't have her playing because of the phone box issue.
Gardening
I lost a window bean, but there's a bunch of beans now. It's amazing. Outside is a different story though. I think I might start seeing tomato flowers though as my current group of them are pretty damn big. Also seeing some great growth out of the squash.
My dad's business
As soon as I finish this blog and get my usual preemptive details done for my accounts, I need to research some more for my dad. I have no idea how he thinks he can handle creating a social presence online, which likely means I'll be on PMC looking up acupuncture research. I really hope it doesn't end up with me wading into the same regions as Natural News.
