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.<\/p>\n
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<\/a>, 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.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n
