Man, I LOVE the day after a deadline. It's like the world is sunny and bright, languorous and lovely again. And I can look at my computer without twitching.

ION, I will need to get a new laptop soon. OH HAI I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY FUCKFUCKFUCKGRRR.

I love tech!

I HATE tech!

P-C,

yikes! I hope not too much damage has been done.

Reason # 1,023 that I am not on FB.

I was so confused when a cousin I thought I had on Limited Profile liked my status last night, but I couldn't figure it out, and then I took him off Limited Profile anyway.

Nothing was terribly bad, but there was a status about a co-worker that really wasn't supposed to be public, even though I didn't specify that it was a co-worker.

Jilli has mentioned that small kids tend to look at her and think, "Oh, a real live cartoon character!" She's not wrong. Except that Matilda clearly thinks, "Oh, a real live cartoon character and fashion guru!"

Awww! Please tell Matilda that I very much approve of her new shirt!

Also, completely random report: on walking to the first pharmacy through a residential neighborhood full of condos for sale, I discovered that there is a realtor in San Francisco named Lydia Dietz. At first that seemed like an awfully pedestrian career choice for Lydia, but then it occurred to me that possibly she's made it her life's mission to join quirky and beloved homes with exactly the right owners, and protect those homes from pretentious asshats bent on gutting them, destroying their legacies and pissing off all their ghosts. Or possibly she's just bent on making sure no ghost ever has reason to call on Beetle... that guy, ever again. Actually, kind of a noble mission.

This is a great story, and the sort of thing I needed to see today. (Work is being especially ... worklike.)

Wasn't ND selling a bunch of Macs? Maybe he didn't sell them all yet?

I *love* the Lydia Dietz story.

Bunch of awesome mearas, Bitches.

I was glad to do it, smonster, I hope it helped. Bit too far to drive, now, though.

It did help. Thanks again, love.

I was selling quite a few macs, but alas, the current set of used gear is all sold now.

It's a good thought, smonster, but I am avowedly PC.

Heh...that's not P-C.

OR IS IT?!

You can run Windows on a Mac. A few years ago, the macs were rated as better machines to run windows on than many windows machines. Dunno if that's still the case.

Macs scare me. I used one in 1994 and um...1983? Apple IIe...and I have never recovered. They are very pretty though! I like to look at them in computer stores! Then I look at the price tag, I faint and then stagger over into the world of PC.

I think of Macs as...dating a supermodel. A sleek, manscaped European supermodel (I know, I know, BUT.) They are GORGEOUS, but they seem expensive and high-maintenance, and after so many years with ordinary guys, I don't think we'd have much to talk about after some quick, athletic sex.

I am probably wrong, but I LIKE my cornfed, aw-shucks PC's.
