My flight to Las Vegas leaves at 10:15 in the morning.  We have tickets purchased to see The Phantom of the Opera at The Venetian on Friday night.  Beyond that and the conference, we don’t have anything planned during our downtimes.  I’m sure there will be sight-seeing, a bit of gambling, and a bit of eating.  There are several Food Network stars with restaurants in our hotel.  I’m hoping to at least make it to Emeril’s.  I’m, of course, taking my laptop and camera so expect me to check in during the week and take lots of pictures along the way.  And, of course, you can follow me on Twitter.

The Arkansas Razorbacks play Louisiana-Monroe this evening in Little Rock at War Memorial Stadium.  Go Hogs!

The NWA Naturals play game 3 of the Texas League North Division series championship.  Go Naturals!

I have been seeing photographers on Flickr and elsewhere using a technique called HDR.  I’ve started playing today to see if I can figure it out.  I’m thinking my camera isn’t quite good enough to make it look really good but look for my work to start creaping on my blog if I can figure it out.

We’re fixing to eat a tamale fest at my parents’ house.  Mom & Dad spent Thursday night making the tamales.  Yum!

I moved into my apartment last November.  I using loaner furniture and some throw away chairs at my old place and didn’t bring that stuff with me so I pretty much have no furniture in my apartment, even now.  When I get back from Vegas, I’m going to officially start trying to decorate and furnish my apartment.  Maybe by the time I hit my 1 year anniversary in there, it’ll be a nice looking place.

I think I have developed carpal tunnel syndrome in my right wrist/arm.  I have a little bump coming up on the underside of my wrist.  My right hand and arm from elbow to wrist have been pretty sore the past week.  I guess I’ll be making a doctor’s appointment for that when I get back from Vegas.

Well, my grandmother should be here soon.  Everyone have a great week!

Update: Arkansas beat ULM 28-27 tonight.  They are now 2-0.
