Looking Forward To A Better Week

Just been very busy at work. Not with every day usual stuff, but odd extra stuff. Anyway the next few days look to be somewhat easier. Drove to Greensboro tonight to watch Dr Who with some friends, Having some people over tomorrow for some Star Wars RPGing. Then on Wednesday I'm in Carrboro for Beats Antique and off the next day to recover. Finally, Next Sunday Wilfred and I are going to the Kadampa Center and brunch in the afternoon.

All About The G+

Yeah, using it more and more as I like FB less and less. Facebook has just about become one big advertisement for stuff I don't want and things I don't want to do and have no interest in. Google + is a sea of calm with people sharing ideas, opinions and thoughts. Ahhhh....

Mad Monster Party

So, I went to the Mad Monster Party in Charlotte, NC for one reason. To meet Haruo Nakajima. He was the man in the suit for most of the 60's Godzilla films. He also was in a few of Akira Kurosawa's films. His daughter was with him and was translating for him. There was quite a line of people waiting to meet him and I hate to delay people behind me, but the boy in me was thrilled. I brought him a small gift of some Moravian cookies as a small "Thank You" for coming. The group with him seemed surprised. It reminds me of staying up late to watch Shock Theater back in the late 60s/ early 70s. Frank Deal was hosting then and I would usually fall asleep about half way through the movie. I really miss Shock Theater and have been known to sleep on the couch occasionally.

Impermanence

Noticing people I know are dying. People I've known for a long time. Certainly instills a sense of urgency in ones life.

Sunday and On Vacation

Finally taking a week off from work.  Haven't had a vacation since October I think. Nothing exciting planned.  Mostly just relaxing and sleeping in.  Might go to Raleigh with my friend Will on Monday.  Wednesday I'll be in Charlotte.  Going to the Mad Monster Party next weekend.  So I guess I do have a few things to do.

Google +

Did a bit of a look/ see at my G+ usage compared to my Facebook usage. Still using Facebook more, but it seems that my G+ usage has gone up considerably, according to Klout anyway. About 40% of my social usage is G+ now and rising. One thing pushing that, the G+ app on my phone. It is SO much more usable than the Facebook app. It loads faster and is easier to navigate. I rarely check Facebook on my phone anymore. Anywho, just find it interesting.
