[Sigh. I wrote this on Friday, but apparently I never posted it.]
It was TOO HOT TODAY but I spent most of it inside, so that's okay-ish. (My car showed 103 degrees, when I headed for the grocery store, but it had been sitting in the sun. Still, yikes.)
We have groceries.
My shiny new Vista machine aggravated the heck out of me. So I beat on it until it stopped treating me like a three-year-old. I'm now tentatively pleased with it. I like the change to how the start menu works (no more expanding tree of doom in appearance!) but I find most of the other gui changes annoying. I felt the same way about XP back when, so I will get through this too. I'm sure not going to make it look like Windows 2000 just to get around the gui I don't like. (There's an option to do that, but NOT one to make it look like XP. Go figure.) I do like the wallpaper I picked from the built-in ones, and the "bubbles" screensaver amuses me far too much.
While hunting for the WoW Burning Crusade discs so I could install that (now installed), I found my copy of Jimmy Buffett's Boats CD (from Boats, Beaches, Bars, and Ballads). I've been unable to find it for a couple years, which really annoyed me, as it has many of my favoritest songs from that collection on it - and I hadn't yet ripped them onto the computer. Hurrah, now I know where it is again and can do that!
Goodthings. *nodnods*
