I don't think I've watched the Grammys in a while.

It seems, I dunno... cooler than I remember somehow.

Quite possibly it was everyone in the crowd ready to break out in applause just knowing Paul McCartney was going to take the stage. And the blues jam that was just up there.

I just backed up my computer, and I'm now going to attempt to replace my RAM. This could get ugly fast. The new RAM came with no instructions. It didn't even come in a package, just a little plastic baggie. Thanks a lot, Fry's.

Anyway, if this doesn't work out right, it was nice chatting with you guys.

Alibelle, if you're still online, don't be afraid to push the RAM into the slot pretty firmly. Sometimes it takes a lot of effort.

OK, possibly the only person prettier than Zoe Deschanel is her sister... but that "my boobs are three inches above my waist" look is just not on.

Dude, all of that hair is not really Alison Krause's.

Who cares? This is a serious "watch and learn, children" moment.

Man, they're magnetic up there.

Also, I want her corset.

And her skirt.

Hell, the whole outfit.

Thanks, Dana.

Well, that was uneventful. It turns out that, despite having various screwdrivers of various sizes, my tiniest one is still a tiny bit too big to open my computer's innards. I suppose I'll have to go make a run to a 7-11 for an eyeglass repair kit or something.

Also, Best Buy closes at 10:00, and I'm tempted to go back and pick up Leopard and get all my irritating computer stuff done all in one day, but I'm not sure if it's worth it if I can't manage to pry open my computer. Also: major crowds there earlier. Major crowds at Target too. Also Fry's. Also the grocery store. Don't the crowds know that we're in a recession and they should be staying home? I mean, geez.

Ugh, Alibelle, for having to deal with computer shit on a Sunday night. Also Grammy W&P makes me feel lame for missing them except turns out the one person I truly feel bad about missing is Neil Diamond. LOVE him.

DVD player is really and truly dead, which is sad making. We have a wee portable for the car that'll do for now, but I want a new one.

Okay, so it turns out that Best Buy doesn't close at 10:00, despite what the web site told me. And 7-11 doesn't sell eyeglass repair kits. Or as the dude who works there put it, "No! No! No, no, no, no, no." So that turned out to be an efficient use of gas.

Thanks, Burrell! Since sympathy might be all I get today, as far as my computer goes, I'll take it! And for your sake I hope you find a great deal on a DVD player.

Also, have I mentioned before that I've met the guy who does costumes for Neil Diamond? Like, he goes with him on tour and stuff. Apparently Neil is like an uncle to him, and they hang out a lot. Like, they go bowling or sing karaoke. And sometimes people karaoke sing Neil Diamond in front of Neil Diamond.
