My online time has been minimal lately because my computer's powercord has died, leaving me stuck using a borrowed computer while I wait for amazon to send me a new cord. And I had a whole stack of ebooks I was reading on my computer, too, half of which are going to have to go back to the library soon. So my technology-failure tag gets its second outing.
I think this is the first three-day weekend in ages where I've barely gone online at all. On the other hand, I was also sick for part of it (not with swine flu, though -- one of the guys in my office came down with it recently, so we've all been specifying every time someone's sick that we don't "have the swine flu").
But on the plus side, the Dr. Strange scene that was taking absolutely bloody forever in Reassembled is finally finished. Yay!
Also, we saw the Wolfman movie for a romantic Valentines Day evening, and it was awesome schlocky, gorey fun. Just like watching an old 40s Universal pictures horror movie (right down to the random gypsies, who at least in this version were *good* gypsies rather than the original version's kind-of-evil gypsies; progress, I guess?), but with better special effects.
Meanwhile, my sister has bought a house in Shreveport. Her monthly mortgage payment is less than our rent for our one-room apartment. My little sister has a mortgage payment -- it makes me feel weirdly old, like somehow her being commissioned and my cousin getting engaged and stuff doesn't make us "real" adults, but a mortgage payment? That's serious adulthood territory.
