Nah, I'm just to lazy to think up good ones. But really, it was quite frosty on the lawn this morning. Things went well today as well, could this be some kind of trend reversal? No way to tell unless I peak into the future but my cats don't like me doing that so I'll refrain. I get to complain about a Mac first, wonderful. One of these old "have to hold onto it until it falls apart" freaks. Oh, I admit, certain things, like underwear and cars I can push the lifespan of far, far beyond "manufacturer recommendations" (only half kidding here folks, you get to have the fun of guessing which half) but a new car will still get me to point A from point B at the exact same speed (while using twice the gas) as my old car because I drive like a 80 year old woman too short to see over the dash. (no offense) but if your 450Mhz G4 (only 4 generations out of date) can't keep up with your typing when you only have like two other programs open, it's time for an upgrade. I mean come ON, the best iPod you can buy has an processor TWICE AS FAST as this persons. A TOY. When a TOY has a faster processor then your main box, you have to ask yourself if it's worth it. But anyway, it sucked, I told him this as diplomatically as I could, and left the scene. Off to teach another lady how to use webmail. I don't mind teaching, I just long for a student that I can show something to and two minutes later not have to show them that same thing again. I know, it's a lot to ask, but I'm searching. Searching for so many thing. Romance. Adventure. A slice of pizza truly worthy of being eaten by mutated turtles. The things every person longs for, I think. Had a tiny bit of time so I came home, ate lunch (nice to do it NOT in the midst of a journey from point B to point A) and checked my websites for friday. angryflower.com had not updated yet, which made me sad. I had to wait another few hours to get my weekly Bob fix. Over to the engineering place again, took care of a few lingering issues. Then over to my grandmother's to take back the DSL equipment I traded the medical place for, so went and swapped them again. Bought back the VPN router as that was a total bust. Anyone interested in a VPN router? Netgear, good stuff! Hardly used! Back to my grandmother's to visit, then home. Her leaves are mostly down, oh joy, so I'll probably forgo any sort of personal accomplishment for sunday and finish her raking. But the sweet, sweet green I receive for the job well done will go far to alleviate any suffering on my part during the process. Have to remember to bring my extension cords, she has a bunch, but not enough to cover an acer of property. Back home to a reasonable repast, leaving me quite satisfied. Then I returned to finish the last few episodes of season 7 of The Outer Limits, only one more season to watch. I tried to engage Squeaker in a dialog based around the moral and ethical questions raised by the writers, but he just wanted his belly rubbed some more. Which I believe also to be a valid form of social commentary. Then writing here, and off to bed, that I might wake, refreshed upon the morrow, to challenge another day for my right of existence. And hopefully finally getting to beat up that nasty old wizard we've been slowly creeping towards the last three games. But he's going to have a ton of orcs around there so tiny little Neysa will be able to do little but cower fear I'm afraid. But I pity the poor orc that hit her and gets his damage reflected, taking his own head off with his own stupidity.
