Stayed up way too late last night and didn’t leap out of bed at the crack of dawn, but that’s okay. We actually rented a U-Haul to go get the treadmill, and now we have a treadmill in the garage. Sometime today I’ll go figure out where to plug it in and I’ll set up the DVD player and then, as Jai said, she will NEVER catch me on the road to Mordor! Ahahahahah! Ahem. (I told her she obviously needed to start running. :)) Worked out some plotbunnies with…
Nook 2.0: the beginnings
I have just ordered a $500 keyboard. Shortly, I will buy a wall-mounted monitor arm and a flat screen monitor (although not in that order, because I need to make sure the monitor has the right kind of back so it’ll fit in the mounting).

weekend
Jai and I went to see House of Flying Daggers this afternoon. About two minutes before everything went completely to hell, I thought, “Oh, shit! This is going to end badly!” And lo, it did. I mean, of course it did: it’s a Chinese movie. They always end badly. (Wonderfully, but badly.) I felt rather silly for not realizing it until ten minutes before the film ended. Of course, Jai said she was completely blindsided by it all ending badly, so at least it wasn’t just me. :) I enjoyed…
