good things
1. I just swapped out my old (well, okay, not THAT old) SSD boot drive on the vidding computer for a higher-capacity drive and it was without doubt the least stressful, most hassle-free computer upgrade I have EVER done. Cloning and installation took less than 45 minutes. Good job, Samsung.
2. Doing the swap involved opening up the case for the first time in a while, and wow, I have NEVER opened a computer case to find so little cat hair. I freely admit that I do not keep an especially clean house and the dust buffalos of cat fur roam unhindered across the hardwood floors, but this case is remarkably fur-proof. Also, I've had it for almost three years and I am still not over how freaking quiet it is. Not cheap, but worth every penny (and a pleasure to build in, as well.) Good job, Antec.
3. Harvest today: a bowl of sugar snap peas and two kinds of beans for snacking, plus three kinds of eggplant -- including a Rosa Bianca, which I ate for dinner: sauteed in olive oil with parsley and garlic scapes (also from the garden) and tossed with pasta, with toasted pine nuts on top. Growing my own eggplant means never having to salt them! BLISS.
4. The vinho verde I had with dinner was awesome (and even better at $5.50 a bottle).
5. For dessert: goat cheese ice cream with roasted cherries.
renenet laughed and laughed at me when I told her I was planning it, but I am very happy with my fancy-schmancy ice cream. SO THERE.
6. VividCon is coming! I want a Spock llama t-shirt! And possibly also a mug!
