Jennifer's 365 Project

Rain or no rain, I was going to eat my lunch outdoors today!

Luckily the Grand Rapids Art Museum has a nice covered seating area.

Apparently labeling clothing with sun protection rating is a thing now.

It's hot out, which means it's time to start using the grill as opposed to the oven. I was already making some tasty steaks so I thought why not make some breakfast pitas for tomorrow morning.

They wont be as tasty as they would be fresh, but it's still great to have something prepared the night before. That means sleeping in!

Maybe it's because of the sunburn, or maybe it's because of the heat. Whatever the reason, I've been pretty unmotivated to leave the house today.

We did go out. We caught the cheap show of Star Trek: Into Darkness. It was ok. I'm not a huge fan of the reboot, but as far as an action movie in space it was fine.

After we caught the movie we went out to eat, where Chris had all the peanuts he could want.

We took a long walk this afternoon at Millennium Park this afternoon. I'm not actually a fan of the park, but it's a change of pace from the parks that we normally walk at. Most of the path is open. There are hardly any trees that actually cover parts of the path. I'm assuming because they leveled virtually all of it when they were building the park.

Anyway, it was a good long walk around the mini-lakes and we both managed to get sunburned. But it was worth it. I miss weather in the 50s and 60s we should be having this time of year, but I guess 80 degrees is better than 30 and snow.

It's been a few weeks since I've launched and spent any time in Guild Wars 2. Sometime between then and now I've been experiencing a strange issue. When the game launcher would first start, it would immediately crash and telling me there was a load handling issue. Essentially it was this message.

So I tried a few different things. I tried re-downloading the software and running it normally and I continued to get the same error message.

Strangely, like in the forum post mentioned above, if I ran Guild Wars 2 in Windows XP SP3 compatibility mode, the game would launch.

I rebooted and tried a few different things and no matter what I could no longer get the game to run normally on my windows 7 machine.

Then a few hours later - no issues. Now it launches just fine without having to be run in compatibility mode.

So...that was an annoying thing to troubleshoot that occur and resolve itself with no real action on my part.

Sometimes the cat is determined to snuggle, despite what you want.

Adam and Comfort are in town on their way to ACEN. So what better opportunity is there to see a comic book movie?

So we headed out after work and met Dan, another awesome friend of ours, at the mall to watch Iron Man 3. Then out to a restaurant to deconstruct the film and discuss our likes and dislikes.
