Friday Night

So, tonight was moderately successful. After work, I went to class, which only lasted a short time. I have some assignments I'll need to work on later. I'm looking forward to it. Following class I proceeded to Trader Joe's to acquire some foodstuffs in order to make mom's Lemon Meringue Pie. I was hoping to buy the ready-made crust they sold just a few days ago, yet they were out, and it sounds like it shall be discontinued. Bummer.

So, home I went to make some crust and pie. I was successful in that endeavor. The pie is now cooling off, and about to hit the fridge.

Following that, I succumbed to being bitten by the collection software bug. After dslartoo plugged Music Collector, I did some investigations and determined they had the best deal. Plus, they had a detail I was intrigued in: you can upload books and movies and comics, as well (if you buy extra packages), and these items can be uploaded with a barcode scanner.

Hmmm. Well, that makes it easier. So, I've got the software, and the barcode scanner will be shipped. I can scan the isbn code of my books and catalogue them. Good fun. Also handy in the event of a total loss.

So, I'll buy the comics package later. They have not yet acquired the barcode interface for that package, yet, so it's not quite convenient to catalogue all that.

That's all, for now.

Spam email

I got spam from Strudel D. Thebes tonight.

I love that name. Theoretically, of course. I'd never name my own child "Strudel".

The cats like a catnip buzz early in the morning

Alright. I am up, robed, and ready to hop in the shower. My cats are frolicking about the house chasing and killing a faux mouse I purchased for them a few days hence. That mice has no chance.

Sascha, the laid back cat, gets so crazy over faux mice. It's pretty funny.

Now, to hop in the shower. I shall get clean, dressed, and ready to go to the Freeport Bakery to pick up breakfasty goodies for Mom, if they still have some...then head out to her place to hang out with her. No surprises for her birthday, the laptop was the big surprise for her. Next Saturday, I shall set up her home network, and all will be good!
