So my semi-girlfriend has joined a roller derby league. She already has a stage name picked out: Penny Royalty.
In the immortal words of Han Solo, "I have a bad feeling about this."
Why do I have bad feelings about this? Because I've seen her rollerskate...this isn't going to be pretty. Seriously, I just know I should cancel all my plans for the next few months because she's going to need shatter a femur or break her collar bone or something...
But before she ends up in traction, I'll have a nice new shiny dual 2.5 GHz processor Mac G5 at home. After almost two months of waiting, having my shipping date pushed back to mid-October, and other aggravations, I cancelled my order last week then reordered the 'puter with a lesser graphics card. I worked it out with Apple that I'll get the super-duper graphics card I originally ordered at a $150 discount when they are finally released. Then I can sell the lesser one on eBay or give it to a friend as an early Christmas gift. Plus, they were kind enough to upgrade my shipping, so my new baby should be here tomorrow. Going to have to take the day off to wait for the FedEx man. I'm probably going to hug him when he shows up...
So school starts on Monday...already been really busy at work this week, mostly answering the same questions over and over again. Damn Freshmen. But cl0ckworkorange has been keeping me company. She's already picking up quite a few things about the lab. Whip-smart, that one...
As for the weekend, there are a lot of bands playing and movies that I really want to see. Funds are kinda limited right now (still hurting financially from the surgeries), so I'll have to choose wisely. Definitely going to the Xiu Xiu and Ghost show at the Empty Bottle on Sunday, though....
Time for some food...

Edited to say: If God existed, he would be foaming at the mouth with jealousy over the computer that is now sitting in front of me.

Enjoy the art of walking---
