Itty bitty bites

[c9]

• I will be in Calgary from tomorrow until late Thursday night. Woo!
  
• The weather there is all negative. Literally.
  
• Renovating and painting and replacing and all that jazz is nice in theory, but in practice there's a limit to how much we can stand to do. We appear to have hit it for today. Shame that there's all sorts of crap around still to be dealt with.
  
• I'm happy to tell you that the kitchen cabinets and floors now coexist peacefully. The tiles are higher than the original vinyl, so the toekicks had to be sanded or sawed down, variously.
  
• Purchased transition strips, but now we need a way to attach them to the floor. One is supposed to purchase a special strip that the tiles are laid on top of, so the transition strip is held in place. We didn't do that. so the little plastic guide that grips the wooden strip needs to somehow be held down. Plastic against concrete is not an easy combination. Super-glue maybe?
  
• I don't have a screenshot because it wouldn't do it justice, but can I just say that the Galactica hot-dropping into the atmosphere in the last episode was the most indescribably awesome sci-fi moment I've seen in years?Now I'm going to actually watch my first on-television episode of BSG ever. Whee!

For your bonding needs, try something like Gorilla Glue, you're supposed to be able to glue any two substances together with it.

I have some of those strips, maybe 5 feet worth

Yeah, I forgot to reply to your previous comment on those. We found some that perfectly match our kitchen cabinets, so yours are not needed, but thanks!

Any trips to Edmonton planned :( ? We're better than Calgary. We have cotton candy machines on every corner here.

I'm trying really hard to get into this city rivalry thing.

Nope. And if they do try to send me, I may be tempted to say no due to the enormous stress-producing power our Edmonton office seems to have. Far beyond their share.

But cotton candy, eh? Hmmm...

I'm very sorry that I couldn't come over yesterday. I didn't get to bed until 5am Sat morning so my day was pretty much shot. That and being hung over - ugh.

Is Vin going to keep working away when you are in AB?

He will be puttering, but I don't know how much time he'll have since he wants to get some studying in too.

I know it makes me a geek, but I loved the fact that they got the physics right -- when the Galactica jumped out, a the vacuum left behind caused debris on the ground to move *up*, not just *around*. A lesser effects team would've fudged it.

I was bummed about the Pegasus until I listened to this week's podcast* and learned that they used the freed-up stage space to make the Cylon basestar sets for this season.

*ok, maybe that makes me more of a geek...
