In the night I hear ’em talk, coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road he lost his soul
So lets see where we were when we last updated this sucker. Hrm, what have I done since last Monday? I went to the Genius bar and managed to get the powerbook into, essentially perfect shape. There are a few very minor case flaws and one that’s a bit more then minor but it works and I definitely like it a hell of a lot. Its become my “go machine” which is impressive how quickly that happened. It also makes me question some of my older/other machines. Like: “What the fuck am I doing with a grand total of 5 laptops in varying states of usefulness?” The old thinkpad that I want to install puppy on serves a purpose of “project” sure but if I complete what the hell will I do with it? The old dell with the busted screen? Haven’t even looked at it in a few years. The windows laptop is handy if I ever did anything that required windows. Really I am using 4 computers for the most part, this one, the laptop hooked up to the TV as a bad media server, the powerbook and then my mac mini gets used intermittently and as a server for the 360. I guess its one of the hazards of being a huge geek that I have so many computers and other peripherals.
In terms of bike news… I am anxiously awaiting most of the replacement parts from HI to arrive here so that I can get the bike straightened out. Also hit about 450 miles between Friday and Saturday of riding. Pretty soon its going into the shop for some service. Interesting note about the bike this year is that I have ridden more this year already then I did the entirety of last year. I have also owned the bike for more then half of her total miles at this point, spitting distance to 28,000 miles. I suppose its not really much of a surprise that I have started having lower back problems either. But I am willing to go with those issues because I love it so much. Just need to find a more permanent solution for the sake of my back.
Work is still work, I am heartily anticipating my vacation that’s just a single work week away from now. Not just because I am looking forward to seeing my friends but because I am hoping I can go back to work feeling a bit more refreshed. I have certainly felt burnt out this past week. It could be worse but I do totally dig the idea of some time away from the mess that is working for the man.
Plus I am stupid excited to see some of my closest buddies again.
Also, I doubt many people here will go to jail but if you do… here is an idea to make your life a little easier (in theory). I almost want to try that out although I am sure ts a stupid bad idea. Probably a better idea to just buy a gun or two (if I had the money) since I have been thinking about getting back into that some.
Otherwise… its summer, the weather is beautiful and life is frankly… fucking awesome. How about yours?
