No carpool today (good thoughts for my very sweet coworker, who's having outpatient back surgery today, would be appreciated), so up extra early. It's been really nice early springtime weather the last day or so, though, so it wasn't too bad. Nevertheless, I am beat. I did get some more done on the house last night, though -- the bathroom has been successfully tamed, and I'm about ready to start on the kitchen.

[livejournal.com profile] musicalchaos -- happy news! Your state tax refund got deposited this morning!

Tonight I've got a clinic escorts planning meeting, I need to do laundry and pack for the weekend, and I want to get started on the rest of the kitchen (getting all the dishes done was a start). Oh, and I need to run by the smoke shop for cloves for Caleb (note to self). And I want to request my next five library books -- I'm through 3 1/2 of the 5 I'd checked out previously. I finished The Blood Price on my way in to work this morning. I really, really enjoyed this one, and its prequel, Dark Places. Both are thrillers, well-written and engrossing, and they really resonated for me in a way I haven't generally experienced in that genre. The protagonists aren't members of my particular subculture(s), but are members of ones that overlap enough that they feel very familiar. The main character of both books is a Canadian ex-pat computer programmer and travel junky (doing the low-budget hostel circuit), and he just felt ... familiar, I guess, in a very good way.

Anyway, that's all for now.
So, [livejournal.com profile] firinel, [livejournal.com profile] marnanel, and [livejournal.com profile] riordon are visiting the first second weekend in April, and we're brainstorming ideas of things to do. Notes here mostly for our mutual benefit:

Botanical Gardens
Cleveland Zoo
Mongolian BBQ or Tommy's (and also Mac's Backs)
Tremont art galleries
Henna, body-painting, photos.

I think that, interspersed with recuperation time and relaxing at home, should be more than enough to do in that short a time (I expect something or other will get cut out along the way).
So, I have a Canon Powershot A70 that I'm just starting to play around with. It currently only has the 16MB card that came standard, and I'm looking at getting an extra. Apparently, I need a "Type I CompactFlash Card". Can anyone with more experience tell me if this SimpleTech 1GB card is a decent investment, or suggest what else I should be looking for?
