With all of the unpacking that happened, Amanda Jo found my journals.
I dropped the load of laundry onto the floor and practically skipped (shut up) over to the shelves. I ordered them chronologically, and once again cursed myself for the one that I’d lost at Spiral.
I sighed, and took stock of my journal situation.
I’m declaring a moratorium on buying blank journals. Seriously. I have at least as many to fill as I have filled.
Most of the wall of boxes is gone. Unpacked, broken down, and either in my car or stacked. We have a window in the dining room!
There’s awesome stuff hung up on the walls.
There’s books on the shelves.
I’m wearing a green shirt. (Why would I say that? How often have you seen me wear green?)
I pulled Slag (Compaq 266 mhz) out of the stack of computers in the basement, to see if it’d survived sliding around in my trunk for a few months. I mean, the hard drive was failing when I was using it for proof of concept at LW. It booted once, but I was getting a ton of write errors when running the apt-get update on it. So, the Quantum Bigfoot drive died, and I’ve replaced it with another drive – smaller in size, higher in capacity. Upgrade from 4 gb to 6 gb, I think. Anyway, the first of the two 8-port ATI hubs I got at MSU Surplus ($2 each) works, and Slag is halfway through its bare-bones Debian install.
I didn’t know how to dispose of the hard drive properly, because you’re not supposed to just toss a lot of computer parts. A quick Google search brought Back Thru the Future up, and so I’m sending the drive to New Jersey for recycling. If they can make some bucks on the aluminum that’s in the drive casing, and the steel that’s inside it, I’m all for it. Yay for profitable recycling.
I miss Aidan already.
The 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon were successful.
This one’s a great essay. It highlights a lot of the difference between Republicans and Democrats. It’s not reactionary, and it makes sense. Shocking, I know. What makes people vote republican?
My yard wants change. Me too.
Quick and dirty:
– Three more chapters of Steven went up last week. I’m intending on putting three more up this week.

– I’ve been challenged/asked to enter the genre of Paranormal Romance. Something new, something fresh, something good.
– The Remembrance could be improved with a re-write. Haven’t finished Glass Crown. Steven may have to be re-written from the ground up. Need to -finish- something. /whine
– I’ve unpacked some of my writing journals. I need to find more and unpack them. Soon. :)
I asked
Crazy woman said yes.
I was -sure- I told you all. ;)
To be open to all change in life, there can be no sense of self. A sense of self, by its nature, limits the change that can be allowed to affect you.
– Take a picture of yourself right now.
– Don’t change your clothes, don’t fix your hair… just take a picture.
– Post that picture with NO editing.
– Post these instructions with your picture.
