Another Window On The World

Yesterday was an off-day. Most it was spent in a fog, with me thinking it was already Sunday. Upon figuring out that it wasn’t I was instead convinced that it was time to Fall Back. Wrong again. That’s next weekend, just in time for Halloween. Thankfully today has gotten off to a better start. Whipped up some blueberry pancakes before our little family went out together, to run an extremely geeky errand. We arrived at General Nanosystems just as the doors were opening to the geeks who had gotten there ahead of us. Our objectives were clear. An ethernet cable for me (to get the new addition to the family, my PowerBook, on the home network). And for the husband, to pick up parts for a small contract job (a wireless router and another ethernet cable, for a client’s laptop). Mission accomplished. Though I don’t want to get too used to internet access on my laptop, as next month I’ll be using it strictly for writing, and not for my usual goofing off. The husband and I made a few other acquisitions today. The intersection of our musical (and other) tastes seems to be shrinking these days, but there are some artists we still agree to agree over. One, Neko Case, now with a new live album called The Tigers Have Spoken. Been meaning to give it a good listen, but I’ve gotten sidetracked by Mirah’s mesmerizing C’mon Miracle, which isn’t exactly new (having been released back in May) but is new to us. And ever so fabulous.
