Ding! Computer's done.

Hi all,

Hope you're doing well this evening. Another day has come and gone. It's Tuesday right? One week left before school starts up...

So this morning, I had some drywall work done at the city home. I was thoroughly impressed. The dude showed up pretty much at 8:00 a.m. (well within Michigan time). He was done fairly quickly and did a really nice job.

So after setting everything back up (I had to move stuff and cover everything up with a drop cloth) life returned to normal.

But all was not normal - I actually read a book today! It's the first time in years (seriously). The last time I read for pleasure was when I was travelling in North Carolina working at a client site (maybe 2002-ish?)

So I still can read... Just like riding a bicycle.

And, just like the UPS site promised, I got my cables today! And my 4 blue LED fan :) So my mom's machine is officially done. I had special ordered these round braided copper IDE and floppy drive cables (which theoretically were to complement the bronze case) - I know, I'm probably getting a little too artsy, but I thought it would look cool. And I think it does, for the most part. The blue LED fan is pretty nifty too. I installed it in the back of the case. The fan casts a gentle blue light on the wall behind the computer case, giving it an "aura."

I didn't get a blingy fan for my own machine, but I made sure to get some swank stainless steel braided round cables :)

I also tried calling the bookstore today, but got the shaft - nobody picked up the phone. So I ended up paying them a visit.

They had my book.

Woo hoo! Now I just have to wait for my Buy.com order to come in for my other book...

If it ever ships.
