I hope everyone enjoyed my last post. I thought having a hand-written blog would be innovative…but then reality hit. I have piss poor handwriting (and keep in mind all the bandwidth an archive of handwritten posts would require, not to mention the load times). Don’t worry…it might make another cameo!
Work is going well! And if you read my last post, the upgrade bug bit me in the ass–sorry Mom, er, posterior. I got a p4 2.8ghz processor with 1gb of RAM. I haven’t installed it yet because I haven’t received the shipment of RAM. I’m giddy like little kid before Christmas morning!
I also went shopping the other day for a pair of shoes only to leave the store with three pairs and a cashmere sweater. I’m not a clothes horse, but I really needed shoes and well…I’ve never owned a cashmere sweater before (it was 65% off!). I wore the sweater and the shoes on my date last night. Personally, the clothes are very unimportant–what was important was that my date was very cool and tons of fun…even though after dinner, I thought I was going to a karoake bar. But it turned out that the bar, Baileys (may it rest in peace) had turned into the South Side’s Chimichanga Hut (or something like that). Ooops! My bad! I also have to say that I love how icy it is in St. Louis! And I’ll leave it at that…
Update: 1/10/03 [SIC 4/5/08] As the philosopher, Murphy Lee, begins his paean, “What da hook gonna be?” he posits this tidbit: “What goes up, must come down” Last night I came down, my giddy inner-child turned into a miffed, butt-crack flashing plumber as I leaned over my disabled computer trying to figure out why my upgraded computer wouldn’t boot (for you techies, I’m getting the dreaded beep codes, aka: “Baby Talk”). Sigh…I’ll probably have to go through the return merchandise rigamaroo. But seriously, I’m not getting too worked up about this…it happens and it’s no big deal (especially in lieu of other folk’s problems).
