1. We still don't have a TV. We've rented a few DVDs but paying so much for the priv. is irritating, so we don't do that much. I've been downloading TV shows using Bit Torrent, and when they've finally completed the download we're very happy about it. So...

2. I don't know much about how good the cable or satellite packages are compared to San Francisco. From what little I do know, it's not so great.

3. My job started July 16th. The Irish government has granted me the opportunity to stay and work here until at least January 15th, 2008. The university only applied for a six month permit because a new, better permitting process for researchers is supposed to come into effect around October. I'm not worried. Riko is legal too, now. We both have our passports stamped to indicate the longer visa duration and we both have Garda Immigration cards.

4. I'm skipping #4.

5. The dog has eaten through all the cat food Riko mistakenly bought him just prior to our leaving for San Francisco. I insisted we get some proper dog food to dilute the cat food, because Whiskey's howling was starting to sound French.

Hey, I think I previously tried to leave a message about the small film "Once" and a suggestion you use music from it for the site. Bad language, but great Dublin locations, and a nice story in the end (and I quite liked the music). If all you have is downloaded movies, maybe that's one to try.

I'll look for "Once," but I don't believe in musical web pages.
