My uncle has loaned me a laptop.

He’s not getting it back. *grin* I swear, as soon as my motherboard is replaced, I’m buying a burner for that puppy and use it to take my work “on the road”. I’m transfering files as I type. Now if ony I could just stop trying to use my computer’s trackball to control the arrow on thelaptop. I swear I’ve done it five times already!

Speaking of my motherboard, I received the bad news this morning: I will have to purchase new memory. Hopefully I can sell the two DIMMs I’ve got because I checked the prices for 1GB DIMMs and they cost almost three times the price of the motherboard! @.@

Picked up Jarret’s Halloween costume last night. He wants to be Darth Vader. Apparently so does everyone else as the store that advertised them for half off sold out. I paid full price for the one I got (from Target), but I will be holding onto the receipt as if it goes on sale within the next two weeks they’ll refund me the difference.

Call me crazy but I’m going to take on the Halloween challenge for SDQB. Quatre has already decided on a concept. We’ll see if the rest of the Harem will cooperate and a complete story evolves.

Per fablespinner‘s suggestion I added my highschool to my info page. I wonder how much it says about me that there are two “Massachusetts” and my school is listed twice as “Cambridge Rindge and Latin School” and Cambridge Rindge and Latin High School”. Yes, I resisted the urge to add “Cambridge Knife and Gun”, not that anyone on my flist would get that reference and certainly not anyone who is currently affiliated with CRLS on LJ, as with the exception of one person, they were all born after I graduated. *sniffs* I feel so old!

So I have limited internet access. Until I get my new motherboard I can play from 7am to about 1pm EDT/EST. And only on weekdays. So I come back yesterday from the weekend and find RCN won’t allow me to get my email from two of my accounts, and LJ isn’t showing me all of my flist let alone letting me know when someone responds to one of my posts.

So today I find everything has returned to normal… if you live in the Twilight Zone. The highlight:

After reading alasse_wolf‘s recent post in __wicca_haven__ and going back to read kitten_feathers‘ post about the ten commandments and the pledge of allegiance, I’ve decided I need to purchase a spew guard for my computer screen.

It’s so nice to see a community owner stick up for a friend, especially when said friend was doing a great deal of the dishing themselves. *rolls eyes*

And who did she try to put in his place?!! @.@ Oh no, she didn’t go there!alasse_wolf, a suggestion: maybe if you got your nose out of the Fiona Horne and $RW books, you might have some idea just who you were implying of crying religious persection, is (and maybe realize just why his name familiar). Speaking of persecution, wasn’t it you who created __wicca_haven__ after whining about how the kids in the other Wiccan comms weren’t playing nice with you? *smacks upside the head*

In related (as in strange) news, RCN also allowed me to finally download an update for Spybot. After two weeks of waiting you’d think it’d find something. Of course not.

I have finally figured out the mystery of the over rising bread machine loaves. Salt. Yup, not enough salt will make your loaves over rise. So make sure your salt is fresh (especially if it’s pure sea salt) and of the table salt grind. *smacks the authors of the breadmaker recipe books for not addressing this*

I’m not sure if this is feline restitution or what, but every night I am now finding Ribbon curled up with a sleeping Jarret. She even follows him into our room when he sneaks between me and Glenn at night and curls up at his feet (which she often likes to play with, much to his dismay).

I’ve restarted my rebounding training again, and once again dealing with some of the beginner’s side effects. *holds abdomen* My initial theory that my rapid weight loss was due to loss of muscle seems to be accurate, as since I started walking Jarret to and from school I haven’t lost any weight but my pants have gotten looser. Hence the somewhat premature re-addition of the rebounding (heck if I’m waiting for up to 8 months before my arch completely heals).

I need to lie down for a bit. I have a pork dish cooking in my crock pot that’s loaded with onions. I can eat crock-potted onions because the slow cooking appears to kill whatever it is in them that I’m allergic to. However, sometimes when I prepare them I forget to do so under a running faucet and now I’ve got a massive headache that I’ll probably be stuck with all day. Nap naps for me!
