Liese, that's ...a lot! Of a lot!
And the thing is, I like my evil like I like my men: evil. You know, straight up, black hat, tied to the train tracks, soon my electro-ray will destroy metropolis BAD.

Ok, so now I also need to make two major financial decisions that need to be resolved tonight. BLARGH, world, come at me before I have the Guinness, not after!

Our landlord left a note that the power will be off for 2-3 hours starting at 10am tomorrow. This is not so good because Spring Break and a rainy day predicted. Maybe we will go hang out at Joseph Beth.
Take them to see the new Muppet Movie! It's good.

I know I should be an adult capable of functioning on my own when the SO is not here, but this one got sprung on us two ways. First, the opportunity just came up last week. And then this week we realized it lined up to let him to the second promo, which extended the trip from a few days to a week. So it's tripping all my "I MUST PLAN FOR THIS" triggers in an ugly way.

I'm going to punt. We'll miss this deal, but other deals will come up, and the need is not immediate. Blah.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Zen, did you get your Chromebook? Am I remembering right that you ordered one off that same deal tommyrot linked to?
I did, and I did. It came while I was gone, and I picked it up yesterday. I didn't get the zillion gigs of free Drive storage because it was a refurbished unit, but I don't really care. It's great. Thin and light, boots up in under 15 seconds, took less than five minutes to set it up to my preferences, charges fully quickly and the battery seems to last a really long time. It does exactly what I want a device to do: just fucking work. I expect it will almost completely replace my old personal laptop for ordinary use, and the old one will become extra external storage.

Guinness is good.
You are allowed to flip out like a small mammal when unexpected shit crops up. For a little while. You'll sort out whatever needs sorting and if you don't it probably won't be that terrible. Oxygen in, carbon dioxide out.

Yeah, you're right.

Zen, I am super jealous, mine won't turn on. You didn't, I take it, have to do any kind of incantation to get it to work? I'm negotiating a return/exchange - I do expect to love it when I get one that does anything.

-t, mine was actually on and running when I took it out of the box, for which I have no explanation. I have successfully turned it off and on since then.
