morning randomness!

1. My scarf matches my tights. No, I did not plan this.

2. Corduroy skirt + tights = need for slip. Guess what I didn't put on this morning? I'm not good at this girl stuff yet.

3. New computer. time from hitting reboot button to login screen is 20 seconds. *Most* pleased. I'm all patched and I installed Office this morning, so most of what remains is data transfer and popping in my data hard drive from my old machine.

4. Storm = still evil. In a helpful way, though, actually. Mmmm, crunchy new plot threads.

5. Something's affecting my watch. This is the second morning in a row that it's been accurate until I take it off in the evening, and in the morning it's been wildly inaccurate, though still evidently functioning. It said, at 8 am this morning, that it was 3:25.

I think I may need to switch to wearing a pocket watch. heh. When my watch starts malfunctioning, usually other electricity-powered things follow. We'll see. The watch could just be broken...

6. There is a roll of butter rum lifesavers on my desk, taunting me. I need to get rid of them.

I am not *actually* an idiot about these things...

...but I cannot seem to set up a regular Windows network so I can share out folders on these two machines.

So I am FTPing 4GB of files to creative, and then ftping them down to the new machine. Which is taking some time, even though they *are* on the same network. There's only so much Ethernet can do, really. (And as for why I don't just pop the data drive into my new computer...I'd like to get my files over first, before doing something that may require me to reformat my hard disk. Heh.)

It's amazing how much stuff needs to be set up, how much work it is to get it how I like it.

(But my new wireless mouse works, now. It's very cool.)

uh. Poem.

It just sort of slipped out.

No, I have no idea who Catsumirande is, either. I do know that the name is pronounced, "cat-SU-mir-and".
