Not my physical house, although we’ve been doing that too — trying to re-find stuff that was put away wrong by well meaning family members over the holidays just makes it trickier — but for a few weeks I’ve been planning on cleaning my iBook of random data, and the addition of a D70 means that I should really make room for more pictures, aside from the 3k (of 1mb or bigger pics, too) I have in iphoto already. I’ve had a TON printed, but really, only about 1/7 of that, and I post probably less than 10 percent of all pics I take, but even the ones that haven’t been printed or posted, I want the originals, I don’t know, in case Ingrid wants to make a flip book of her first year or whatever. But managing to rack up 3k of pics in 7 months (and yes, almost all are of Ingrid or Ingrid-related) with just occasional visits from the D70, means that I think I’m looking at taking even more photos this year with the new camera. Tomorrow is Other Data day, where I’ll burn off school work and other crap, filter through the random PDF files that I don’t need, etc, and back that up.

I also finally, cancelled my cell service today — I had TMobile from 2005, and it worked well for a good long time, but after Ingrid was born it went straight to shit — I think I had 5 successfully completed phone calls in the last 6 months. I’ve only been able to complete a voicemail check 3 times, I think. It’s gotten insanely shitty, considering I live in one of the biggest cities in Maine. (Prowling on the internet, though, I see that something definitely happened wrt T-Mo over the summer, and I’m not the only one suffering.) Part of why I liked them was that I could get a less than $40 plan, but some investigation shows that Unicel has a $20 plan which would be perfect, and I know several Unicel users that have their cell phones as sole phones, and they always sound crystal clear, never have service issues, etc. I’m not going to sign up right away, but that’s on the agenda for The Future. (weirdly, though, it seems like Unicel’s phones are a generation behind all of the other companies phones, but, whatever… I just need a damn phone.

ANYWAY.  I tend to love the holidays, agnosticism aside, and yet, I also love the return to normalcy that January 2 tend to provide. Now, I have to go find my ass a JOB. Sigh.
