In the Face of the Meantime

Since I’m sitting here bored and frustrated as I try to get the MacOS 9 (ugh) machine I’m working on to stop crashing constantly, I guess I’ll write something. Experiences like this one simply serve to solidify my loathing for the Classic MacOS. Though I totally <3 OS X, anything prior is just painful for me.
Time for a bit of a recap… Saturday was lots of fun. I played the ladies’ man as I went to Charlottesville with Jenni, Courtney, and Lynley. The main purpose of the trip was to get Jenni’s headboard from Under The Roof. We managed to totally not anticipate there being a UVA game that day, which made finding a parking spot a little challenging. Once we did (and right by the store), we got to check out some cool furniture. Then we had a delicious lunch at Cafe Europa. Of course, it’s impossible to go on a trip without some other shopping and between Old Navy, Banana Republic, and Gap, I managed to pick up some nice new clothes. Go me. (The current webcam shot is of one of the sweaters… me wearing the sweater that is).
Then yesterday I was teh productiveness. Not only did I mow the jungle that we were calling a yard, I also finally went food shopping. I’m not sure why I’m so proud of myself for this, but I am.
Oh, look, it’s 7:30 and I’m finally done with this lovely piece of Mac history. Except for the part where the Novell login screen takes forever to come up now. Ugh. Screw it, I’m going home.

convince ervie that the ways of the beige G3 have passed… hmm, maybe he's not the one that needs the convincing?
