We’ve had gorgeous weather this week, and I was looking forward to the weather this weekend as well. Until, of course, I pull up the weather on Google:

I normally am a big fan of rain, but I was hoping for a decent weekend.

(Speaking of which, Google Weather is simple and fast. Just type weather and your zip code in the search bar, like “weather 90210” and it’ll bring back a simple 5-day forecast without navigating through a nightmare of ads and clicks on weather.com.)

We’re having a big move at the office; I am told that nearly everyone here will be moving to another desk, floor, office, etc. My team is moving up to the tenth floor from the fourth. They make it as painless as possible a process, but I bet I’ll still go to my old desk a half dozen times before I get the hang of it.

Sahara
I am really excited about Sahara, which comes out 2 weeks from today. My enjoyment of the entire collection of Clive Cussler’s work was fostered by the fact that my dad and I read them together starting when I was 10 or so. Throughout the years, we’ve enjoyed the books as we passed them back and forth, and Sahara was one of my favorites, though I barely remember the plot. I’ll have to get my hands on a copy and reread it before I see the movie. (Though perhaps I should forget about the book’s plot; apparently Cussler is quite upset at the final script and is suing the producer of the movie.)
