NAYYYYAAAAAAAAAAHHHHARRRRRRRGH.
So the vid I was working on will be delayed until next weekend.
I am somewhat proud of myself for clearing out that last pile of old papers and rearranging the office somewhat. Housecleaning can be so cathartic.
I have been experiencing a burning issue.
Oh, don’t worry, no medication issues to whine about. No, this is about the dvd/cd drive on my beloved Powerbook slowly going wonky. It’s been very finicky about brand of disc, and making shiny coasters out of more and more cd’s lately, so I went forth and sought a solution.
It’s a shiny external dvd writer – which also likes dual layer dvds as well, handy if you’re backing up tons of stuff. Sony, if you’re curious. A hundred bucks. And three hours later I have backed up much purchased music that only exists on the hard drive, making it available for enjoyment in the nearest dashboard mounted cd unit.
Whilst at the computer store, I also noticed Kingston memory in the size and speed necessary to upgrade the Powerbook for seventy bucks. You cannot quite imagine my glee at knowing that I will be able to multitask like crazy with my gig and a quarter of memory. (The quarter is on the motherboard.)

Why I continue to lurk in Making Light’s comment threads. OMG. NO WAI! LOTR be Lolcatterized!
Word of the day at work yesterday: assiduous. Using this in group supervision meant giving a definition, which was followed by some rather surprised stares. I do use words in conversation that no one else knows, apparently.
I was quite sad. It’s lonely being a word geek.
