Apr. 5th, 2005 06:00 pmI'm coming to you live from the New Laptop!
They sent me a whole new power cord (meaning I now have 1 1/2 cords instead of the paltry half I had) and, as reparations, a laptop bag especially designed for wide-screen laptops. Which this one is. So yay, new bag!
And no, I'm not naming it. When I name things they tend to break or get stolen; I think it's the universe's way of reminding me not to cling too closely to my material possessions. So, no name.
Also, I can get wireless off someone's unsecured router at precisely one place in my flat, and that is about a foot ahead and slightly to the right of my sofa, at the most inconvenient location possible. Still, it's wireless. I'll cope. :D
I also went out and bought my cap and gown and hood today -- man, MA gowns are cool, they have pockets in the SLEEVES! And I also stocked up on clay, since the last of what I'd bought went towards Scaramouche, that rascal.
It's really amazing, you know, Americans might be afraid of masks but they're also fascinated by them. You mention you work with masks and people just open right up. My cashier at the bookstore* must have spent ten minutes asking me questions about my thesis and the work I'm doing with maskmaking. Thankfully it was midafternoon and nobody was there....
* I bought graduation garments, CDRWs, clay, and a bag of Doritos at the bookstore. I win at eclecticism.
ETA: I almost forgot. I had a dream last night that I was involved in the final battle between good and evil. And I mean, it was a seriously Judeo-Christian armageddon, God Versus Satan, the whole bit. Intriguingly, Satan was actually a 19th century mad Russian playwright. His right-hand man was Severus Snape, who had the most enormous wings I've ever seen. It was seriously bizarre.
