Besides building new shelves for our kitchen cabinets, I also set up my new universal <a href=\"http:\/\/www.logitech.com\/index.cfm\/remotes\/universal_remotes\/devices\/376&amp;cl=us,en\">remote<\/a> this weekend. Unlike my old Sony model, which was a nightmare to program, Logitech&#8217;s interface is so much more user-friendly that it took me just minutes to do the job &#8211; far short of the 2-3 hours I had originally allotted. I&#8217;m also in the final stages of designing an album for the HK trip. Since <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hallmark.com\">Hallmark<\/a> has discontinued the scrapbooks I usually use, I&#8217;m switching over to a digital album through <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blurb.com\">Blurb<\/a>. It&#8217;s taking a hellish-long time working around their clunky software interface, so I hope the end product looks good enough to make it worthwhile. Otherwise, I&#8217;ve also been watching a few Oscar winners from last year like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0477348\/\">No Country for Old Men<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0469494\/\">There Will Be Blood<\/a>. Javier Bardem and Daniel Day-Lewis both put up quite an act, but sitting through both movies was just dreadfully depressing. I&#8217;ll need find some stupid comedy or mindless action flick to balance out all this pathos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My OCD continues to reign over me as I discover new ways to fully control my world.
