Whoops. Yeah, busy busy around here, though of course that's no excuse even if I made excuses which I don't. So there.
Let's see, highlights from the past couple of days.
Friday: Dropped off the two laptops I finished and went over to clean more of Grandma's basement. Got glass jars out of the crawl space, folded rugs, grouped more things together, have I even accomplished anything? Then went over to see her. She said she slept really late and didn't eat breakfast or lunch, though I know Heather stopped earlier that day so I think she probably did. The people there must run the aids ragged, honestly. Going up the elevator I thought to myself how long it was. Found out on the way down why: they were taking a body out. Oh joy! Next time- stairs.
Saturday: Went to the wrong place because the guy hadn't told me he moved. Reloaded the HP system with the dead HD. They had a touch screen model, and you know, I wasn't sold on touch on the desktop, but it really was kinda fun! Then over to Sean's for Cube Zero and game. Game went pretty well, we're in MMORPG world, apparently. It's tough to act like you don't have any clue what's going on when you really do, because your character doesn't. Still, pretty fun. We're working out ways to break the laws of "physics" there to have an edge in combat. Free your mind, Neo! And a yummy ice cream desert was provided, so it was win-win.
Sunday I watched a very interesting series, Psych. It's about this guy who is basically sherlock holmes, he notices and remembers everything. He passes himself off as "psychic", basically solving a case for the police and then having an "episode" where they can see it. Very good casting, stories, characters. He could have billed himself as a Mentalist, rather then a Psychic, and been truthful. Oh well.
Today: Normal stuff, shopping. Gave Timeweb back not even half read, that book just wasn't doing it for me. My first one canceled, so I just had the second one to do. The only person still using AOL dial up. Of course we don't know our password, and we can't actually talk to someone to get it reset. Finally figured out it was still in her husband's name (four years dead) and got it reset. Good thing I could connect to one of the eighteen wireless networks in the place, or we never would have done it! Dial up? Really?
