Weekend over. Alas!

Monday has arrived. Bringing work (ie - lots of stickers to make) and a trip to the Apple Store because my power cable has decided funkiness is the way to go.

At least it's still under warranty, though I'd just downloaded the second episode of Sherlock and a large number of books. This is annoying.

It was a good weekend. We got a new table and chairs on Saturday and those showed up yesterday. We like very much. Even better though, Inara and Rabbit came over last night for incredibly delicious experimental cooking. I made bastilla, and even if the puff pasty kicked the bucket because it was too wet, it was damned tasty.

Highlights of the week ahead include mostly work and a paper I've got to deal with by the end of the week. Need to check submission guidelines in American Archivist so ice got an idea of length, but that's not bad.

Doing Better Now

The trip to La Encantada was a success - less than 5 minutes for the guy at the Genius Bar to check my laptop cable and declare it was borked. He ran the necessary diagnostic to make sure that was it and grabbed the cord to replace my old one. So, now I have a new power cord and Irulan is happily back at work.

Then I went to AJ's, bought a few bottles of beer and some cultured butter, and headed home. Now I'm on the couch watching Project Runway (don't judge! please! though watching one of the designers mourn his brand new D&G pants is very amusing) and eating Cape Cod chips. They're 5 cheese flavor which is surprisingly tasty.


I've also been downloading stuff for my Kindle. I need to play around with some of the books I've nabbed - the formatting is a teensy bit wonky, it seems - but overall it's pretty cool. I've been getting lots of classic sci-fi, as well as books by authors like Stephenson that I've wanted to read for awhile but haven't actually nabbed. If anything, it's really going to curb my purchases of fiction. At least fiction of the... single read-through variety.

ETS some time later: Have episode 2 of Sherlock and a bottle of Nimbus' Dirty Guerra. Life is rather better at the moment, I think.
