Yo, Theo!
I know, I'm talking to you on IM, but I just didn't want to see your post sit there for another couple of hours :).
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

That's something, for sure. Otherwise it'd be you, me, and the tumbleweeds rolling through the topic.
Yesterday, I also managed to get data loaded onto the replacement external hard drive... which pretty much means that I'm exactly where I was, two weeks ago when the first one failed completely.

Go you! That's great. I would sit on a project like that for MONTHS (hence my iTunes still not being recovered from the old laptop).

I'm actually better off than I was, because now the iTunes is much more comprehensively backed up. I recovered all but one song, which is amazing, really.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Morning!
I'm already all riled up this morning, because CBS Sunday Morning is doing a thing about the Evils of Gambling, and some gambling addiction counselor just said "an alcoholic can just stay away from the bar, but a problem gambler has to see all the popular culture that celebrates gambling." Um, seriously?? Our popular culture doesn't continuously celebrate drinking?? Liquor is only available at one kind of place? PLEASE.
Phew. I feel better.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I am often up at that time, too, and I am not a mother. Craxy!
It is also freezing here. I am actually about to see if I can go buy a blanket or curtain to shut of the alcove in my living room that has no heat., because there is a big blast of cold air coming from there.
I have weird heat, though, because the furnace is in my apartment, and there are no heat runs, so the extremities of the apartment get very cold.

Yeah, my experience contradicts that. Number of times offered an alcoholic drink this week? 3 or 4. Number of times offered any form of gambling opportunity? 0.

Yeah, but did you watch CSI, Calli? JUST AS BAD AS BEING OFFERED A DRINK.

It's so weird how winters here are so much milder than where I grew up (about 220 miles north of here). It doesn't seem like a real winter to me until it gets below zero.
Yeah, I get that. But I don't think it's the location - I think winters in this region have gotten seriously milder/less snowy than twenty or so years ago. And it's kind of sad and freaky.
That said, it is plenty cold right now. Yesterday I had to bribe myself with a trip to the cupcake store in order to take the dog on a reasonable length walk.
