Hmmm...maybe not so much busy, but interesting for sure.  My week seemed to be incredibly slow up until Wednesday, then suddenly the speed picked up.  I'm so thankful it's Friday though.  This weekend is the first weekend I have nothing incredibly pressing to do in a while.  I have a little freelance, but other than that, I plan on watching movies and doing some personal work.

What did happen for me this week? My body crashed on Tuesday night.  I was so exhausted that I fell asleep on my couch at 8:30 in the evening.  I thought maybe I'd take a short nap and wake up to get some work done.  Yeah right. With me, naps are generally between three and four hours.  Following that pattern to a T, I woke up at midnight.  I was still so exhausted that I basically just washed my face and went to bed.  I slept until 8:00 am.  I felt fantastic the next day.  It was a long day too.  I had an electrolysis appointment Wednesday night.  So it was a good thing I had gotten rest.

I was very excited to get my podcast out there and available to view.  I'm not going to lie, it was a pain in the ass.  Remind me never to shoot my podcast with my webcam set at its native resolution.  Whenever I tried to export it, it had huge problems processing through the video.  To put it in perspective...the podcast video was about 4 mins and 40 seconds.  I've rendered out full high definition, half hour length programs in faster time than my podcast would render out.  (Render being the technical term for essentially letting the computer put together the video in its final form).   Long story short...it's good to have the first one done. I'll be doing the second one this weekend.

My friend Mike was a great help to me this week.  He was excited about me doing a podcast and wanted to see it.  He's addicted to podcasts.  He listens to them constantly.  So he offered me some tips on how to improve and formats to use.  I'm going to essentially approach my podcasts from now on like their a full out program.  I'm going to produce them like any other show.  So watch for an improvement over the last.

I guess the other news in my life this week is that it's effing cold out!!! My apartment is 66.2, which is a lot better than the last cold snap we had.  I've managed to prepare my apartment for the cold this time.  There's no extra wind coming in the windows anymore.  That means I can walk around my apartment without a blanket and feel ok.

OK, only a couple more things.  I wrote an e-mail to Jenn this weekend asking her if she'd like me to mail her books back to her.  It definitely doesn't bother me talking to her anymore.  What does bother me is her...professional tone...I guess.  There is really very little hint of her desire to maintain a friendship in any of her replies to me.  I've made some attempts to strike up an e-mail conversation by mentioning something funny that I know she's interested in, and often times I just get back something like "Yeah that was funny.  Thanks.  You can mail my book back to [address].  Have a good day."  I dunno. A part of me just wants to ask her if she even wants a friendship.  Another part of me just wants to move forward and not look back.  What do you think?

Also, Chris has been incommunicado all week.  I haven't been able to get a hold of him on either his house or his cell.  My thoughts are that he's at a conference this week, but I don't know.  I haven't really been able to talk to him since like...a week and a half ago.  I just hope he's ok.

Anyway, watch for a new podcast soon.  I'm going to attempt to make it weekly.  Happy weekend!
