I have been messing around with Parallels lately. It’s pretty sweet! I have been considering using Boot Camp and then having Parallels read that install but I only have a SP0 install disk. Boot Camp requires SP2. I bought Parallels Desktop, MacPilot, and Kill Monty for $40 from non-other-than Macheist. Parallels allows to boot another OS while OS X is open, making it easy to do something in another app. It works great, just lags my computer slightly. I will probably buy more ram soon anyway.

This is my friends Threadless design. It would be awesome if you could vote for it. It’s pretty hard to get a design made into a shirt but it’s always fun to try. The link is the picture or the icon at the bottom of this site.

Home

I made it home around 1:30pm. Then I unpacked and had to check everything new on the computer. That took a while. I also noticed that Parallels 3 for Mac was on sale through MacHeist for $40 so I bought that and set up windows XP.

Almost Home

This drive really hasn’t been bad. I went to starbucks and got a triple shot venti mocha and then almost won a psp on that block stacking game (got to the last line). I don’t really like starbucks but I love my espresso! Alterra is way cooler. 2 hours left.

Friday

Friday, yup today. We got up, ate, packed and then went on a swamp tour. We got to see some huge alligators and I have some great pictures. Then we ate lunch and got on the bus. Here I am right now, typing all these on the bus. Hopefully the AC won’t break like it did on the way here… I took almost 1500 pictures and had a great time! I think I might have enjoyed the extra freedom and more unorganized feel of the Mexico trip but this was great! We just went to a house rededication and now the drive starts. If I’m lucky I’ll be home saturday at 2.

Thursday

Thursday was probably my favorite day. We got to the work site and worked so hard! It was our last day working. Then around noon the owner brought some jumbolia (or whatever its called) which was amazing. We also got the two little kids presents and gave them to them. They loved it. Later in the day, after church people got to stand up and talk about their week. We also stayed up later and I listened to some great improv music that my friends sang.

Wednesday

Wednesday was also pretty similar to the other days. The main difference was the crayfish boil. For dinner they got 200 pounds of crayfish. Boiled with some spicy seasonings and corn, potatoes and sausage. I dug in. The crayfish was amazing. It wasn’t too spicy but some people freaked out. I ate so many crayfish but its hard to get much meat out of those small things.

Tuesday

Tuesday really wasn’t much different than Monday. A lot more tiling and some stops to try some food. This day the home owners and their kids came over. They were vey nice and she said she would bring us some food on our last day. That was something to look forward to. I also went to another work site and took a few pictures. On the way back we went and got ice cream at a dofferent place and then the rest of the day was very similar to Monday.
