Taking a break from the grind

Dec 19, 2009 20:37

My computer's main bits are finally almost all reset up. It's take the better part of last night and the few hours I was home today to do it, but it's happier and smoother and I'm getting to have perks I'd simply let slide months ago when they altered somehow. I would have been done sooner but I kept getting distracted. Mmm. Self-sufficiency and adhd you go so well hand in hand. Or not.

Distraction one was starting A Christmas Carol while things were moving and then uploading -- but also in the fact, the book just took over and for long jags I kept reading instead of hitting the next buttons which would need hitting. I actually finished it an hour ago. So much for I want to try and read it by Christmas. I have these huge thoughts that are percolating about "common ownership works" because of watching three different movie versions in the last few weeks, the Charles Dickens Inventions documentary this past week, and now having read the book today.

But that is for later.

Distraction two drug me out of my house for some general fun. Jared, one of my coworkers, showed up on my doorstep and asked me to join him for this normal Saturdays night sushi dinner the new place upstairs in Bauhaus. We are the only two who like sushi in the office. It was delightful, and entirely amusing. The new sushi place was serves sushi on a conveyor belt going around the counters and the prices are dictates by the color of the ring around the edge of the plate.

I will bring pictures one day later! But it was, oh, so, yummy.

Alas, I have another button that needs pushing that involves restarting.

See you all on the other side of having finished this.

holiday: yule, coworkers, korea, food, books, movies, lap top
