I'll start with the bad, because I really don't want to dwell on it any longer than I have in my own brain. I got a speeding ticket on Tuesday. In a construction zone. So I have to go to court. Apparently in Illinois they take your license when you get a ticket, but I argued that it was my only ID, so I got it back...on a bond. The officer was not ( Read more... )

Sorry for my lack of posting again. Amy came to visit for her 30th birthday and then my MacBook was out of commission for about a week. We will handle each in their time ( Read more... )

We've found it. We're just hoping to get the approval ( Read more... )

I Skyped for the first time at work today. Welcome to 2007, huh.
*blushes*

My new work computer is all set up and running. It has a 22" monitor. Widescreen. Yeah, it's a Dell, but the monitor is sexy as hell. I can read CMS and IRS reports and the stats aren't a blurry mess. It's amazing. It's like seeing the world through a new pair of glasses.

At any rate, now I can work through my 300+ queue faster than I expected. I was also amused at the tone of the ( Read more... )

Are you sick of this yet? Everything That Happens Will Happen Today is available for download today, but if you are like me and stuck at work, even better! DB is streaming the album. Nice.

Nope, after five years of apartments and storage closets and moving, my computer was just plain ol' dirty. I think having a chinchilla next to it for four years tends to accelerate the dust accumulation, something I honestly never ( Read more... )

I think my 2nd Gen iPod is in its death throes. Without saying, the battery is pretty much shot, and now its new trick is to have the sound fizzle out and then freeze. Luckily, I can reset it, so my day is not without its Blondie and ABBA. This wouldn't be an issue as I have two other iPods (one is a 1st Gen Shuffle which, well, I don't really like ( Read more... )

You know how most people usually stay in bed for most of the day when they're hungover? Well, I did that until about 12:30, but then I decided it was necessary to leave the house and spend too much time and money at the Apple Store in King of Prussia. My Mac Pro Mouse had died a terrible death earlier in the week and I had been eying up an Airport ( Read more... )
