In the couch, the comfy couch kittens sleep tonight.

I noticed some of the kittens were sneezing and the night grows colder than usual. Gouda and I decided to take the kittens in for the night. We gave them the tastiest kitten chow. I know, I’m a softie. I need to find homes for them. Would you be the one?

Quickest Route and Shortest Distance.

I found a 1st generation iPod nano a few days ago. I contacted Apple to have it replaced. The next day I received a padded envelope with packing and shipping instruction. I handed the package to FedEx shortly after.

Today I saw the tracking information on the package. It was picked up in Costa Mesa, California then shipped to Memphis, Tennessee. The final destination is Elk Grove, California.

The distance from Costa Mesa, California to Memphis, Tennessee is about 1,700 miles by car. The distance from Costa Mesa, California to Elk Grove, California is about 415 miles by car. Go figure.

Skyfall

The official Skyfall trailer. Daniel Craig reprises his role as James Bond. It seems to be a YouTube exclusive.

I am personally excited to see this movie.
