Not sure if Gaffigan was getting paid by them but 1/3 his act sounded like one. Funny, but still like a commercial.
Winding it back to Friday, spent the morning working on the Paragan Database App, quite happy with the progress of it. Then went over to pick up the nasty system from the previous entry, then see grandma. She asked me three times what the ABC sale had made and wondered if she had any cows left. And was someone going to her house to feed her animals? I assured her that her two birds were safe and sound at Mom's house. She's having trouble breathing (and not on the Oxygen like she probably should be) and had to go to dinner in a wheelchair because it's too painful for her to walk.
Then back home to try and save this PC, which I did the rest of the evening. Exciting, huh? I stopped it from blue screening, but then realized half the services weren't coming up. And nothing I would do would start them. Super. Finally Saturday I had to get to bed so I gave up. Later that morning I worked on backing it up to his external, reloading it, and then doing a windows backup so it would be done when I brought it back and could start doing whatever it calls backups because windows doesn't have Time Machine. Took about an hour to back it up to my machine, I started it three hours before I was leaving for Sean's and it still wasn't finished. Wow.
Then out to Buffalo. Then back there because their alarm went off because the door didn't close all the way. Then back out again. Very good show, all new material, even if it did make me hungry for french fries. You know how long it's been since I actually had McDonald's french fries? Or any for that matter. I don't either. Anyway, money well spent, glad they invited me along. Played Portal 2 with Mizzy afterwords as Sean had grading to do.
Then today, more work on the Paragon Database, got all the current character sheets in but Lucid, as I have no updated character sheets for that setting. Huh. Now to start working on save/load. Got season 4 of Psych but realized I hadn't actually seen season 3 yet. Sigh. And played through disk 1 of FF13, wow, that went fast. FF7 the first disk went on for hours and hours. Guess all those cut scenes eat up the disk, even with that extra gig per disk they found by wiping out the old copy protection scheme. So that'll go back tomorrow.
Good number of calls, but a lot of questiony types too. And My Buddy Bruce called me too! Oh joy! It's been what, five days? I missed you! (not)
So returning the now reloaded system, and two others for tomorrow. Nothing too major I hope. Shopping and library as normal. One week from tomorrow is Spook Night or
Jesusween for those of you who, like me, have accepted Jesus Christ as their personal… snort… their per… okay I thought I could say it with a straight face. Whoops.
