I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

That's why I'm working from home today. I was afraid they wouldn't leave it. Or that they'd leave it and I'd never see it again.

I wasn't expecting mine until Monday. So, yay extra-fast TiVo for the weekend. But boo, distracting thoughts of porch thieves.

I lucked out. I happened to go to freeminimacs on Wednesday to check on the status and it suddenly said, "Order shipped." I figured it would take a few weeks for them to get it to me.

I'm feeling a lot less skeptical about these "crazy, free stuff pyramid scams" right now.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

DHL.com tells me that my new mini mac is "with delivery courier." It does not tell me where the delivery courier is.

Steve Jobs has it.

Oh do I get a free Steve Jobs with order? Because I really need someone to explain why iDVD doesn't work properly.

Be wary of the free Steve Jobs. The hardware is free, but the lifetime supply of black silk turtlenecks adds up.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Okay...Better Electrician Guy has been poking around for almost half an hour, and he has succeeded in somehow disconnecting the power to my refrigerator. Which is on a separate circuit from the outlet that he was supposed to be fixing.

I just need him for the iDVD issue. Maybe I can sell him, slightly used, on ebay after.

Better Electrician Guy

Um. I think he might need a new name.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

UPS.com tells me my TiVo is sitting on the front porch. Now I get to worry all afternoon about whether it will still be there when I get back.

UPS says that my Harry Potter book has left the UPS center that's, say, 10 miles away from here, and is "In Route to Final Destination."

Now, that's different from "Out for Delivery," which is what it usually says at this point. But I read that UPS is delivering the HP books to the USPS, and they (the USPS) will deliver books to people's homes tomorrow. (Because UPS's weekend delivery charges are too high.)

Thag want book now.
