Problem with root beer floats is all the root beer. However I totally support a good stout float.
What I am about to be eating is cake for dinner. I've paid my dues, dammit.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Just backed up all my mail, bookmarks and pictures on the external drive.
I did a backup tonight, too! I'm all proud of myself to a ridiculous degree.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
One of the best things about the Time Machine on my laptop is that it yells at me if I've gone too long between backups. That's the only way I ever remember.

Do you not like root beer, ita, or only like a certain type of root beer?
I've heard of stout floats, but since I don't like stout (or beer in general) I've never had one.
We used to live by an A&W drive-in when we lived out in the country in the late 70's. We would drive up and get giant root beer floats in the real glass root beer mugs, on the trays that attach to the windows. It was pretty rural, so we would listen to really loud cicadas and eat our root beer floats.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
The ice cream talk made me hungry and the cucumber talk reminded me that I had a cucumber that needed to be consumed. I just made a wonderful cucumber, onion, cherry tomato salad with dill and a balsalmic vinaigrette. Then I added the last bit of mozzarella cheese to it. Yum Mee!

Root beer in general, Erin. It's too rich for me.
What's the deal with Pokerstars.net? I'm trying to work out where they make their money.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Erin is me.
The A&W is still there. But it has a drive-through now. They got rid of the old system where you parked under the awning thing and ordered over an intercom and they brought you the tray with all your stuff that they'd attach to the window, and only once did they spill my brother's float all over the inside of the car door, making the power window switches all sticky....

I'm so going to do more regular backups next machine. I swear! And I'll probably eventually have to get cable or DSL or whatever. Anyway.
Basically, the only stuff that'd kill me to lose are the pictures, mail and music. And the music is on the external already (so it doesn't have a backup, except the ipod, so it sort of does.) Mind you, this laptop only has 9.something GB. And I've only used up 5.
I got the external drive originally because my ipod was 30GBs. My poor old laptop couldn't sustain it!

Huh, weird. When I played online free poker, the site had a real-money sister site, but that one doesn't seem to. Mysterious!

Soft serve and custard both come out of machines, but are entirely different animals.
Need to get my hands on some custard soon. Possibly in float form. Yum.
