Been making use of the 'natural facilities' around me here in Boulder...like a bandit. The dog love, love, loves the creek and the off-roading is even subtle enough for the wife's discerning palate. Rock on, Boulderites, rock on.

I can hear like a dog. Or perhaps a mosquito.

Ultrasonic Ringtone Hearing Results:

You are a dog
Or maybe you are a mosquito, you certainly can't be human.

The highest pitched ultrasonic mosquito ringtone that I can hear is 21.1kHz
Find out which ultrasonic ringtones you can hear!


Damnit - so that's why I'm such a light sleeper. My earballs are just TOO good.

Boulderado

Arrived in the San Francisco of the Mid-West. Like it! Again. Lots to do with the dog. And the wife. Hiking, trails, the creek that runs through town, biking, shopping, sweltering and eyeballin' stuff.

Been watching Battlestar Galactica - now on season 3. Fairly fun but no Wire. Some of the soap opera-y elements are grating after a while, with the obviously annoying characters doing their job admirably (I'm especially looking at you, Laura Roslin). What is it with this "Dexter's wife" syndrome that afflicts much of contemporary American TV drama these days?

Unsure what to watch next. If you know me, you know I *loved* Skins - I don't know what to follow that up with though. Suggestions?

All this TV from someone who professes disinterest in the medium, save for ads and documentaries. Honestly, what is the world coming to?

I may have to resort to playing outdoors more instead. So it's handy that I'm in Boulder then, isn't it?
