  Hi, thanks for reading. Can you believe there are only a few weeks left in the year?

  Today I watched a few things-- the "Deadliest Catch" marathon, a movie about Dorothy Day and another about graffiti art. It was cold and windy where I live, so I didn't get to do much, just went to mail some stuff at a shipping center, then went back home to watch TV and play with my dog.

  My pedometer broke! You can see a picture of it below. I don't know why it happened. The screen just went crazy one day. Oh well.

  Hope you and your family had a good Thanksgiving. See you soon.

  Hello. It's the Sunday before Thanksgiving. In the U.S., people are busy buying turkeys and making plans to invite the family on Thursday. I'm hoping we get a chance to watch the football game, because we are inviting a lot of people. There's also the parade in the morning. I hope I get to see a balloon careen into a street lamp and shred its guts all over everything.

  Today I got a Sony Reader. It's an e-book machine, which means you can charge it up, carry it anywhere and use it to read electronic book files. It is awesome! The screen looks so much like a real paper, you'll have a hard time believing what you're seeing at first. I love it.

  Tonight, they had "The First 48" and "Cops" on at the same time. I loved being able to switch back and forth between the two. There were a lot of good soccer games on Fox Soccer Channel, too. I had a chance to catch up on the Italian and English leagues. Not a bad day, all in all.

  That's it for now. See you soon. Thanks.

  It's getting closer to Thanksgiving in the U.S. I don't see as many cartoon specials as I used to. There are a couple, but other than that, I don't know.

  I cleaned out some things from the closet today. It left a surprising amount of room. That was a relief-- I hate to clean.

  I've been trying to finish some audiobooks this week. I also want to get started on some new artwork. Today I finished watching "Godzilla vs. Space Godzilla," which was a lot better than I thought. There were a lot of explosions, and some long fight sequences at the end. Some of the new Godzilla films have skimped on the traditional strengths of the character, but this one lived up to them.

  This weekend, my old desktop PC bit the dust. I was furious at first, but then after I set up my laptop (which I am using now), the new system was so much better, I was almost glad about it. The laptop is fast, has better video functions and takes up much less space on the desk. I managed to get the printer to work with it too, so I didn't lose much. I had already put some of my music files on disc before the PC broke, because I expected this to happen eventually. The rest, I will have to download again. I use a subscription service, so a lot of that will be included-- it's just kind of annoying because it's so time-consuming.

  This afternoon, I spent some time checking out the high-number channels on our HD lineup. Many of them are foreign-language stations, others are kids' channels. Quite a few we don't get, because they're pay-per-view or premium channels. Someday soon, when I get a new place, I'd like to get the whole slate of foreign stations, plus the sports ones. Once I can watch Armenian public television, there might be world peace.

  Okay, that's it for now. See you soon. Thanks.
