Well, I got a new laptop today. It’s pretty spiffy, if I do say so myself. I even got the Pro, so my keyboard is all backlit and stuff. Right now I’m working on getting all my essential items from my old laptop onto my new, beginning with my iTunes library. I tried to do the whole fancy Migration route, but apparently it didn’t move any of my music. Luckily, there are other methods, one of which I’m utilizing with seemingly good results. Of course, being the superstitious sort that I am, I hesitate to say that everything is going fine and dandy, because that’s when all of a sudden things turn fine and ugly. Anyway, my old laptop seems a bit melancholy–however, it’s moving into the ownership of my brother, who I think will take superb care of it. He’d better, anyway, if he knows what’s good for ‘im.

It’s that fourth month already, the one with all the rain and sun showers.  My mother’s birthday is coming up in a few weeks, but more immediately in le scroll de bon anniversaire is this big ol’ shindig happening this evening.  The coolest thing is that it’s not only a birthday party, it’s also a zombie party.  Nothing says “you’ve gotten old” like festering skin hanging off your cheek, or having a few nubs, stubs, or stumps.  I think I’m gonna go the whole ‘super-chic’ zombie look, like I was the homecoming queen in 1960.  That could be a lot of fun getting made up for, especially if I could pull off looking like one of my eyes had been eaten out by a crow at some point during my slow decomposition.

Oh, I’ve gotten even more excited just thinking up ideas!
