And more words to come, my aching, spasm-dancing back permitting.
Wrote mostly this morning, wearing glasses instead of contacts, barefoot in yoga pants and a army-fatigue patterned tank top, nursing pear tea and quick-dissolve gel-cap acetaminophen. It’s afternoon now, and my scrounging has turned up limited foodstuffs and the dog is giving me sleepy glares from [...]

So, How Did It Go?
Not bad. Not bad.
I didn’t get to stay too long. My hair appointment was at 10:45 a.m., so by 10:00 a.m. I had to go, get the car and then hit my stops before the appointment. I thought I had to spend money in the mall to get the free parking but it turns out [...]

FireFox Fizzle
I must be OCD, just a little.
I had downloaded a newsreader program for Firefox and, in using it, decided I didn’t like it. But when I removed it, it left this folder behind in the bookmarks menu that could not be removed. I could rename it, but I could not delete it – and it [...]

My Kingdom for E-Mail Solidarity
By that I mean I wish that iGoogle would allow me to have tabs set up (or some other method) so that I can access both email addresses from the same location. Right now I have Mail set up to access both, which is nice, especially since it has the threaded view, which was my [...]

It’s Mine
Okay, so, technically I shouldn’t even have it right now. But here I am, my fingers gliding across a snow-white keyboard, luxuriating in a purchase that I’ve dreamed of for years and years.
Yes, I have the MacBook now.
Six months early, true, but there is still the payment to be made, still six months of no [...]

The Bet
Todd has challenged me. I wasn’t sure if I would take him up on it, as tempting an offer as it was, but it wasn’t until he crossed the line that I said, with complete conviction, “Oh yeah. It’s on.”
I speak of the MacBook; long have I lusted, long have I eschewed.
Honestly, I forget how [...]

Housework. *grumble*
Something I’ve never been good at, housework. I have a huge to-do list, items I’m knocking off one after the other in a slow-but-steady pace and none of them very fun. After the outside activities (grocery shopping, picking up items for the backup), I’m focusing on inside activities like the dishes, laundry, and [...]

Can You Say … Catastrophic?
I knew you could! Say it again, kids. Catastrophic Hard Drive Failure.
Bear with me. My laptop has decided to commit suicide. We found it surrounded by pills and booze, but we managed to get it into intensive care. We have it hooked up to life-support, and we’re waiting for it to tell us why … [...]

The Din In Here Is Crazy
Lesley wants to collaborate on a web-comic about something. With such a gigantic canvas, and no starting point, my mind went plonk. I flipped through some old ideas of mine, trying to see if anything would stick, but neither of us really went for anything.
Then she threw out a pink dragon named Candy Floss.
And I [...]

Mac Lust Thwarted
I think I mentioned my lusting in a previous post. If an iPod has revolutionized the way I use/view music, wouldn’t a Macbook do likewise? Add to that the fond memories of a program called Hypercard that I ran on a loaned Macintosh computer, which I used for my Amber RPG campaign, and I have [...]
