So things are great generally speaking, but my computer now overheats to the point that it will not stay on for very long, even with the case off and a large fan blowing on it. So ... this weekend W will come over and sell me his extra Dell at a friend price (I never wanted a Dell really, but I'll take this one in this case) and we'll see if I must stick with its Vista or if we can make a switch. It's also a bit sad because there are no extra bays for my current hard drives. I don't really care ... I just want to have the Internet back on my work computer and I'll worry about getting the info off my main one soon enough.

Right now I am slowly cranking out my tons o' work (I am WAY behind and too tired to stay up to get it done past 8 or 9 p.m.) using an older system with no Internet. I have to come back here and use R's Mac to post, research, check, download, email ... it's getting old very fast. Oh Nellie.

Today is beautiful, and I've taken time I don't have to water our pepper and tomato plants, clean up the porch, just generally breathe some fresh air. I'm getting excited about all the cool summer movies coming up, and I am very psyched to see some good concerts soon. My sis just got back from a Bahamas cruise, the lucky bee-atch, so now I'm wishing I could go away to an island too. The shore will have to do for now ...
