Have now checked and Husband's state of the art blu ray player does indeed play data discs. Including all my Fame discs that [livejournal.com profile] cheapevilgirl burned for me back before Nimoy came along. *squee* This also promises great things for the other files that have mysteriously found their way onto my computer of their own accord; to wit, seasons two and three of Picket Fences, seasons five and six of LA Law (Grace/Victor FTW!!!! The reunion movie never happened!) and season two of Boomtown (which has some of the best Joel/Teresa, not to mention Shirtless!Donnie).

I want to marry this player and call it George.

Summer course continues in the same vein; spent the first hour and a half today being told how to surf the internet. (Sample question from one of the other teachers on the course; "so, hang on, the g in gmail, does it stand for google then, because it seems like they're linked." I managed not to weep.) We did get to learn a couple of search term short cuts, interesting ways to use google docs and a crash course in delicious.com so all was not lost.

Nimoy came up to me today, at random, hit me on the arm and said "Mammy, you're it!" and ran off. No idea where she got that from but when I asked her she said "Ben and Holly". Who says kids don't learn anything from tv?

Speaking of Nimoy, here, have a picture. IMG_1761

HelsinkiNana's 80th birthday party was held at the weekend (actual bday is tomorrow). It was little Nimoy's first birthday party and she was a real trouper, lasting way longer than she thought. Himself took her home early enough (he'd been out night before and was tired) but she was grinning at everyone and blowing kisses to beat the band!

Not that I want to bore you with pics of my daughter, but here are four generations of our family!


In other linky news, fic link to a Stargate/Criminal Minds crossover that attempts to fix the events of 6x02 JJ (is there anyone who's not spoiled for it yet? Just playing safe!) It is here --Branching Out by [livejournal.com profile] mhalachaiswords. And it is so completely awesome and in character in both fandoms!

So, in keeping going with the thirty days of creativity thing I'm trying, today I took some photos of Abigail. This is nothing new, so I will explain that a couple of weeks ago we were doorstepped by this photography agency who come to your house, set up the lights and backdrops and take pictures in your home. The shoot is free, then they come back a week later and you pick whichever (rather pricy) prints you want to buy. Well, we said let's go for it, and a very nice young lady came to the house and took pictures of Abigail and us (and the ones we got are being delivered later today. You don't have to leave your house, I find this very cool and handy!) and she let me have a look at her camera and we talked about photography, and it inspired me to take out my digital SLR (which has been sadly underutilised for the last few months) and get arty.

The results - some of them - are here, behind a cut tag to spare anyone who might not be interested in arty shots of my daughter and one smiley up at mammy shot! )

Edited because cut tags only work when done properly.

Every so often, I think that I might update my trusty, bought it second hand, had it for seven years, film using, Minolta camera for a nice shiny new digital SLR. (Less often since house and mortgage thoughts entered my head, but you know, they still happen.)

Then I get con pics back and I remember that my camera rocks like a rocking thing.

Evidence the first, Janet/Carson fans might like this one....

Evidence the second, Janet/Carson fans might also like this one

And one just for [livejournal.com profile] demon_faith!
