I spent my first day on my own today and it was a little weird but managable.  Last night I set up my Aerobed, put the little TV on a foot stool, and used a spoon from the picnic basket we left behind.  With a lack of pots, an odd set of bowls, and plastic utensils, dinnertime has been interesting.  But so far it hasn’t been too bad…just really temporary-feeling.  The dog also looked a little confused last night but he settled into his travel bed rather quickly.  Jes is now at Jimmy’s house and it’s like he never moved away.  The old roomies are back together again.

We also gave iChat a try and it was pretty cool.  The video is pretty smooth and you can adjust the screen small enough so you can keep working on your laptop.   I can also hear audio from the person on the other end and IM all at the same time.  It was kinda like I was hanging out with Jes, Jimmy, and Eleen.  We were even watching the same TV show and I could hear Jimmy’s comments in the background.  As much as we try to hate Apple, they sure do make a pretty good camera and video program.  By the way, the camera is just to the left of that little light at the top of my laptop screen.  And that’s Jimmy saying “hi”.
