Saturday
Note to self: Roundy's brand generic Froot Loops are a pale imitation of the real thing.
Various fancy boxes from Newegg have been arriving all week, containing most of the bits for El's new computer (and a refurbished hard drive for my mini tower/future media server). We attempted to cannibalize the video card and RAM out of his current computer so he could start installing stuff, but the RAM slots were incompatible... so he'll have to wait until a friend of ours can bring over gift parts on Wednesday before gaming mayhem can begin (WHY Kraids just happens to have four gigs of RAM and a high-performance video card just kicking around in his desk is beyond me, but I'm certainly not going to complain...). And, by extension, my own gaming mayhem will most likely begin on Thursday, when I get El's hand-me-down computer to monkey with. :)
My laptop stopped doing the glitchy sound things a couple weeks ago, so I'm just going to cross my fingers, back up regularly, and live with combination desktop + smartphone for a little while if it craps out.
After spending not-quite-entirely four days working, I've aaaaalmost gotten the bedroom unpacked and organized. It's starting to look really nice. Which is good. I sometimes have a kind if a cognitive dissonance-type experience with this house, where I'll definitely feel like this place is Home, but at the same time feel sort of disjointed because there's still a distinct aura of "man's bachelor pad" about the place. I'll probably post pictures when I'm done. One more part-day of work, then it should be done, then I'm onto the sewing room. Which is much much more tightly packed with crap, but with the bedroom cleared out, I'll at least be able to move a few boxes into there temporarily so I can have space to work.
Which reminds me, I have a LOT of sewing projects I need to get cracking on, too...
Aww... the bunnies have decided to stack themselves together like sardines for a nap. <3
Sleeping rabbits make me think I should crawl off to bed and read for a while... I think I'll go do that.
P.S. Why, yes, I did start this entry over breakfast and then get distracted, why do you ask? Was it the Froot Loops that gave me away?
