So, I hope everybody had a nice day yesterday. Here, it was like any other day (well, any other day where I didn’t have to work). No turkey, no relatives, no football. Nothing. I mostly spent the day trying to weatherproof the shop area as much as possible (and installing the wireless access point I’ve had kicking around down there so I can use my old faithful Dell Inspiron as a “shop” computer). Threw my Cisco Catalyst switch down there, too, in case I want to hook up more shit (which is pretty unlikely, but it throws off a fair amount of heat, so I figured it can’t hurt). That was pretty much it, though. Well, that, and a lot of nose blowing.

I just saw on the teevee that what is possibly my favorite toy (assuming you can call it a mere toy) of all time – the Etch A Sketch – came out in 1961. This means I’m older than Etch A Sketch. That’s kind of sad. I’ve worn out quite a few of them over the years – I prefer the “classic” red one – and once considered myself pretty good. Not good enough to get into the EAS Hall of Fame, though. Story of my life: not bad at a few things, really good at nothing. Oh well, I suppose I’m in good company there.

Due to illness and incredibly poor planning, I’m faced with the prospect of having to go shopping today. Just for food, but it still means I have to go out and face the crowds, which I’m really not looking forward to. As I may have mentioned before, I don’t much care for humans. Not in groups larger than two or three, anyway. Four, tops.
