shrimp risotto update: Tom salvaged it by adding some acid (vinegar) and more seasoning (Old Bay), coating small patties in breadcrumbs, and frying them up!

Also, I now own a netbook which is adorable beyond all reason.

Jealous of the netbook, Nora! I want one so badly.

Liv has a friend over today and I love watching them play together. It defies reason that two 3 year olds are easier to take care of than 1, but it's true!

Cash, this is the one I got: [link]

it's really small, but I've been using a really small laptop for a while so the transition should be relatively smooth.

I'm planning on getting one next year so I can give this laptop to the kids.

Yay for Seska! (And yes, Dr. Seska does sound vaguely evil.)

askye, I hope that the antibiotic regime doesn't prove to be TOO terrible.

InunpackingN, I really loathe unpacking wardrobe boxes. It's easy enough getting hanging clothes out, but if stuff is down at the bottom, it's a pain, because I'm just too short to easily lean in. Plus they're unwieldy as shit to break down.

So the plans have changed. Turns out my doctor wants the antibiotics administered over a longer period of time and the hospital didn't want to do that so now Home Health Care is going to come and show me what to do and I'll be doing it at home. I need to go and get a lab slip and tomorrow go get some labwork done to make sure that my kidneys can handle the treatment

See, I'm waiting to see if/when Apple announces its tablet, because I figure Macbook prices will drop like a stone.

Wow -- that's fairly intense! Is it the same antibiotic, or a different one?

Oh, Askye, what a pain for you! I am glad you are getting good treatment, but I wish it didn't have to be so much work.

I just talked to the Home Health place and I'll be getting Gentamicin. I need blood work done and I have to do that tomorrow so I have an appointment on Wednesday at 3 to get set up and then an appointment at 2:30 on Friday to check some levels.

Now I need to call my boss and tell him stuff has changed and also go get that lab slip.

I wouldn't count on it - everything I've gathered says that Apple views the tablet as an extention of the iPhone/iPod Touch line, not as part of the laptop family. (It's going to run the iPhone OS and the form factor is basically an iPod Touch the size of a Kindle.)

(I also think it's going to tank for the same reasons the Macbook Air did - it's going to be gorgeous and a lot of people will drool over it, but when push comes to shove it's still three times as expensive as the devices it's competing with.)
