It’s been a while since I have written anything about the Louise Log. In fact I have to admit, I missed one (#16). I caught up by going to Anne’s website and you can do the same.
Interestingly, my spouse saw a mattress commercial on television the other day, in which the main actress looks very similar to our heroine, Louise (AKA Christine Cook).
I can’t remember the name of the mattress company but I will keep an eye out.
Let me know if you see the commercial. It ends with the line, “We don’t want a repeat of last year”. I would love to find out if that is her.
I just happened to get the weekly analysis for this blog recently and it is the most popular of my blogs. I don’t know why that is so, since I’ve neglected it so much. Also, Thursday and Friday are the most popular days.
Let me know if there are any subjects of interest to you and I’ll try to comply… especially things that encourage conversation.
Anne Flournoy has released another terrific episode of the Louise Log,… number 15. This one is called Danger. Things are getting even more interesting. Check it out:
If you have any problems with the audio, you can view it with subtitles at Anne’s website. You can also see ALL of the “logs” here. You can also subscribe there and be the first to know when another Louise Log is released along with any other things Anne is working on. Enjoy!
I recently found an app for the iPhone called iStego. Basically what it does is hide photos (and text if you like), inside of photos. So what appears to be one thing, is actually something else.
The “envelope photo” does not look altered in anyway. It reminds me of our hidden everyday lives while we walk around dealing with our day to day encounters, placing a face over the turmoil inside.
Anyway, the thing with this app is that no one seems to know about it. There is only one review. If I place two photos here, without the program you would not know which has a secret picture/message and which does not.
In checking this little experiment, I found out that it only worked on my iPhone!!! So, here is the photo that was inside:
I just discovered the WordPress iPhone app that lets you post/blog/edit from your phone. The reason it has taken so long for me to discover is because I just couldn’t imagine typing on a keyboard that small for very long.
If, per chance, you tried to get to this blog recently, you were met with a Fatal Error message. That was the result of attempting to upgrade this blog to WordPress version 2.8 automatically. Even though the auto upgrade worked fine on another blog (StarFire), it crashed on this one.
A few things happened during the down period. Anne Flournoy’s short, The Louise Log #13 won a competition at New York’s channel Thirteen (you can view it at StarFire or here).
Meanwhile, #14 has been released:
Enjoy… Hopefully I’ll be back later today after I manually upgrade to version 2.8 (it’s supposed to be a security update as well as other things).
One of the things you do a lot of while being dialyzed, other than reading, is watching a lot of television.
At first I was watching the usual dreck like Family Feud, or Jeopardy or Wheel..Of..Fortune. After a while, however that gets boring. From there I went to the soap operas like One Life To Live, but the drama was just too dramatic (and silly), but I do check in once a week.
Now, I am into the Foodnetwork. I find this amazing because I have never had any notion of making my own food, let alone other peoples’. I love it, though. It’s the details that fascinate me. Who knew that you smashed garlic with a broad knife to peel it or the difference between slicing and chopping or that you could be approximate in cooking, but not in baking. And who knew that once you have the basics, it really is pretty easy.
I got so interested in the shows that when I went to Barnes & Noble last weekend, I actually browsed
I love this book!
the food/cooking section (This is a first time ever!!) and ended up purchasing a foodnetwork book entitled, How To Boil Water. For me, it answers so many of the basic questions I have about cooking, plus the recipes are easy for beginners. My wife (who doesn’t cook either) is even encouraging of my new interest.
Also, being able to control my food intake and have a closer assessment of my sodium, potassium, and phosphorus intake is great.
