movers

Helped my brother move into a new apartment this past weekend.

Easiest move I could imagine.

Both my brother and his new roommate were fortunate enough to have a small army of friends helping out. Five of us helped loaded up the truck from my brother’s old place and then two more showed up at the new apartment to unpack the truck. We had everything moved into the new 1200 sq. ft. place in 20 minutes.

Being on the first floor really helped to.

The picture above is the house warming gift Susie and I gave. It’s a peperomia. Really brightens up the place.

Basically, Lucasfilm is producing a 100-episode series and when that is complete they’ll shop it around to networks.

Starbucks to begin offering free downloads from iTunes. For the entire month of October, Starbucks locations will hand out “Song of the Day” cards redeemable at the iTunes Music Store. I assume a purchase is necessary to get a card.
