Domains, and movies, ad gas prices... Oh My!

This is liable to be a long post. SO in interests of reading I'll try to seperate the rambling by topic.

Domains:

So I bought another domain over the weekend. I have been having enough fun with the 3d art stuff that I decided that I might as well sell prints and stuff, and since it really has more of a theme than my mishmash PD store I decided to just create another store just for those things.

Anyhow, I'm still getting it set up, but the domain is dreamsindigitalart.com. I hope to have it looking nice by the end of the week.

Movies:

Somebody lent my parents a movie called Martial Law. I ended up watching it saturday night. And while I must say that there were many things about the movie itself that I didn't care for (scare tactics), it really consolidated a lot of what's been happening and brought up a bunch of good points about 9-11 that lend easily to believe the conspiracy theorists.

Of course it's a movie I actually wouldn't recommend to hard-core republicans, or anybody who wholeheartedly believes whatever the government tells them. It would just anger them.

And for the rest of ya'll, I do recommend watching this movie. But with more than a grain of salt. Because as many things as I knew to be true, there were as many questionable points. At minimum though, this movie will make you think about many of the things that have happened in our government.

Gas Prices:

Santa Fe is in the middle of a gas price war. Some of it is due to the legislature being in town, the prices always drop a little when they're in session. That way the business doesn't find itself the victim of state government scrutiny, but this is more than normal.

Gas prices in SF are ranging from 2.15/gal to 2.45/gal right now. Normally all the stations in the city are within a couple of cents of each other, but there are some that just can't afford this war any more and have had to bring their prices back up at least to cost. Yes, most of the gas stations in the city are selling gas at a loss.

From what I've been told it all started when on station dropped their price, and then the rest followed suit. Of course there is massive fluctuation each day because of this. I've seen stations at the high end in the morning, and then competing with the rest come afternoon.

Of course the big question now is whether this will continue once the legislature goes home at the end of the week, of if the competition will continue.

Other:

On Fri. night there was a dance at the Eldorado Hotel. The SF community orchestra and the SF great big Jazz Band were both playing, and Chris Calloway was a special guest.

It was nice, but the dance floor was way too small. I only got in like three dances in as many hours. Also the way the room was set up was a pain. I could only watch the musicians from the back because all the tables that allowed a view of the performance were reserved (sponsored) and all the community tables, of which there weren't enough,, were in bad locations.

But probably the highlight of the evening for me was that I got to see my old HS band instuctor. I hadn't seen him in several years, and us band rats from up here all enjoyed having him as a teacher.

Finally, Last night I was invited to go out to eat with other dancers again. This time I did not make the mistake of declining. While I was quiet for most of the time I at least got out and did something besides the norm.

Anyway... I think that's enough for today.
