yoga, books, movies, tv & too many crime procedurals – not necesarily in that order
Watching the Star Trek reboot for at least the 5th time. Sign of good photography? The fight scene on the drill squicks my height issues EVERY single time I see it.
Right now we’re nerding out with ST, I’m enjoying another glass of Big Fire pinot noir, hoping Dave’s dog won’t howl at us some more and LOVING Simon Pegg as Mr. Scott. New True Blood AND Mad Men tonight. w00t!
My new laptop has arrived and she is AMAZING. Lightning fast, new Windows platform, widescreen and supersweet touchpad. I adore it. I may never leave it alone, ever.
I’ve been adding back my favorite software: Filezilla, Zune, Calibre, LastPass and Skype are all safely onboard. All that remains is to resurrect the old hard drive and transfer the bits I want onto my new and dear toy.
Today was eventful, as I also started my new part-time job! I’m pretty excited about working extra hours over the holidays. Employee discounts don’t suck, either.
Tomorrow I’ll hopefully wrangle up some photos – of the house AND the laptop. In the meantime I’m going to keep tweaking the lappie while we watch Star Trek.
Today I found another part-time job, did the last of the Turkeyday shopping, got a haircut and my hair is brown again. All in all, I’m feeling pretty accomplished. Tomorrow is baking, brining and cleaning day. Apple pie and pumpkin torte, thaw and brine turkey, sweep floors, et cetera. The turkey should only have to cook for 5.5 hours on Thursday so I’ll have all morning to make sausage-stuffed stuffing and turkey stuffing. Sweet potatoes are the only other thing oven-bound so my schedule is looking pretty managable.
Tonight I may start the torte or cranberry sauce – I haven’t made up my mind.

My laptop died. I can’t complain overmuch, as it served me well, but the timing is damned inconvenient. I’m keeping an eye on the internet (from Husband’s laptop) for deals this week and hopefully it’ll be replaced soon. Until then, updating may be patchy.
This got posted today and it pretty much explains why I love The Wire. It’s one of the few shows that, once I started watching, I was able to get Husband to start and he got just as hooked. It continues to be great, even after it’s over, because the issues are just as relevant now as they were in the 80s and 90s, and will be ad infinitum. Be warned, there’s A LOT of cussing in this clip.
