I haven't posted about this yet because -- well, to be honest, I was kind of superstitious about it: if I post about it, it might not happen! But the exhibit has opened, and

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 ( Read more... )

1) I just realized that I never posted about the Glee finale or the season as a whole. And, in fact, I have other people's posts about the finale open in browser tabs, still unread. Um. Apparently May got away from me? And June is not looking much better. Sometimes I miss my slacker youth ( Read more... )

1) After their breakfast, Toby and Theo did what they have done every morning for most of their lives, which is go sit by the coffee table and wait for The Big Kitty to come wash their faces.

Unfortunately, I'm going to be away from the computer pretty much all day, and my Friday is looking rather full, so I probably won't have time to watch vids (or do my own MJD posts) until the weekend, which has me feeling a bit sulky. But let ( Read more... )

For reasons that don't need exploring at this juncture, I have had an unusually stressful and also just plain busy semester (stress and busy-ness have no inherent relationship in my world, but this semester I got both in spades). For the past couple of months I've been almost entirely offline, both fannishly and literally, and for the past week I' ( Read more... )

1. I slept for much of the morning and spent the rest of it in my jammies.
2. I am not at my parents' house. (See icon.) Instead, I am at home in my beloved little house on the prairie, with lovely snow outside and lots of cats inside.
3. I spent this morning and much of this afternoon finding and uploading lots of new icons while listening to lots of ( Read more... )

Polarfleece footed onesie pajamas are officially among the best things ever. Right up there with flannel sheets and down comforters.
