Stephen Colbert - Another Christmas Song GO LISTEN RIGHT NOW. And then you can watch
a preview of the special. :D
So, eBay update. eBay thinks I've made $26. But after eBay gets its cut, and PayPal gets its cut, and I account for the fact that eBay cannot accurately estimate shipping cost for crap, it's more like $10. (I've paid about $11 more in shipping than I've charged. I should probably start adding handling fees to cover the difference.) At least I'm coming out ahead, but .. I don't know if it's even worth it to list the Star Wars stuff, considering the time and aggravation. ... maybe I'll make
melannen do it since she doesn't have a job. d-:
I loved my laptop's super-bright screen .. until it started giving me headaches and burning out my retinas. I forced myself to crank out a TDR last night with suns exploding inside my eyes. It got better about halfway through, though, but then I've had a headache for most of today. ... and, yes, I HAVE now turned down the brightness, thanks much.
My presentation isn't gone! So that's good! But I still need to review it and add things to it, and I keep procrastinating, and I'm probably going to suck just when I really should be making a good impression. Sigh. (I don't even know who the audience for this will be, actually. Students? Local professionals? How far do people travel to attend GIS Day at a community college, anyway?)
(I've put off any long-term desktop-computer-fixing until at least Wednesday night. I might set aside the drive that I'm pretty sure contains one corrupt partition for now; I don't know if I want to reformat the whole thing and then trust it with data any time soon. Maybe I can pull the 80G one out of the external case and slot it in as a secondary internal ... must see if I have the right size hex key, though .. and this is all assuming the motherboard isn't fried, or anything like that ... yes, I'm working on my presentation, quiet, you.)
.. finally, the obligatory yuletide flail:
omg why did I say I would write in this fandom I have forgotten SO MUCH canon and it's so far outside of my comfort zone and I'm not worthy!!! Aughkhhhgh.
Ok, let me have one moment of happy: Christmas socks and mint tea and a holiday Firefox skin and Stephen Colbert singing carols and snuggly kitties! Mmmmmm.
I need more tea, and the last of my apple cranberry pie.
