share and share

I've really come to like Google's next little free tool, Picasa. What a wonderful program! I've been looking for a good, free program that allows you to easily categorize and manipulate photos and hands down, Picasa is the best I've found. Combine that with Hello another tool that helps you to quickly share photos with friends and you've got a winner. If any of you end up trying Picasa and Hello make sure you add me to your friends list!

And speaking of friends, NetFlix gives you the opportunity to share your movie lists and recommendations with your friends. Any of you Netflix users that want me to add you, let me know!

The accident update: Joe's surgery on his nose went okay. He had a high blood pressure reaction to the cocaine pack they had given him (and the guy next to him in recovery who was puking didn't help) but he's better now with a cast on his nose and finally in better spirits. He can nearly breathe again! We're waiting for results of my CT scan to come back to see if I may need surgery. I really really don't want to go through what Joe has just gone through. In the meantime, I'm fighting with this freaky little bit of scar tissue in my upper lip where they stitched it back together after the accident. Between my nose and my lip it's essentially numb. I can't pucker up very well and blowing candles out is suddenly the most difficult job in the world...not because I don't have enough hot air, but because I can't get my lips to work right. It makes me immeasurably sad...if they can't fix it I don't know what I'll do. Kissing, one of my all-time favorite things, is suddenly only a half-sensation now. My smile is messed up too...it looks tight and fake. Okay, enough whine. Anyone got some good bleu to go with it?

But if you are waiting anxiously, like I am for the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy to come out, go here

to check out what was one of my earliest favorite computer games. I was 13 when that came out! Helps if you have read the books, which I recently managed while waiting for Joe in surgery (Made it through the first three). Absolutely wonderful. It's amazing that now, twenty years after I first fell in love with that silly text game and the book, that the movie will be hitting the theaters. Nostalgia is such an odd thing.
