I bought a new TV on WOOT, and it works SO GOOD with my computer!!! I had an old-school TV hooked up via S-video to my computer, and (maybe you know how that goes?) the text was completely unreadable unless it was set on the hugest, dumbest resolution, only then often programs would have their "OK" or whatever buttons too low so you couldn't see them for clicking. NO MORE! Plus, I got a wireless keyboard at salvation army that matches the wireless mouse and wireless receiver that i already had.... so say hello to way less cluttered TV-lounge type area!

leave a comment if you want to be invited to (a) celebratory movie-watch... so far nominations include live-action speedracer movie.

the low point of today so far is not being able to find the cable to hook the PS2 up to the new TV to see if the found special-remote-to-make-using-it-as-your-DVD-player works ( I adopted a poor abandoned Platstaion2 at the beginning of the summer when some mean college kids left it behind... then I ebay'd up a copy of  katamari which is fun enoughh to be the only game I own, I'm pretty sure.

should I go swimming this afternoon, or will it rain and I can just stand outside for a few minuites for the same effect? decisions, decisions.

The high point of today was stopping by Silly's in Portland (Maine) and getting a lamb & french fries wrap. The fact that, though I saw no coffee infrastructure in evidence I inquired into some regardless, which resulted in a tiny press-pot just for me; also the shared smile with the person who actually made the wrap for me, upon its annunciation.

The low point of the day was the fact that it took me two and a half hours to get ready to leave. Between the car-power-socket ["cigarette lighter" style] I had freshly wired in being shorted and blowing three fuses before I got it trouble-shot correctly, and Monkey having used up all of her in-stock cat litter necessitating an extra trip to the market.

haiku for today

this evening I saw
an ant dragging a live wasp
by its left eyeball.


----------------------------------------------------

I shot a little movie of the occurrence but the exact moment when the ant bumped back into the wasp and grabbed it by its compound face was sadly not well captured, as I was ineptly looking at the real thing failing to point the camera just right.

the haul

this season's casa de oro [the time when students move out and leave perfectly really good stuff behind and/or throw such away] has yielded up as follows-
5 ipods:
8 gig 1st gen nano ~given to roomate
30 gig 4th gen (b&w screen, not photo) ~given to other roomate
4 gig 1st gen mini ~promised to sister
2 30 gig 5th gen video: one with dead hard drive, one with dead battery
these last have been recombinated to yield one fully functional unit featuring 3 seasons of the (american) office, AND a replacement headphone jack for MY 5th gen ipod video, whih was only sending out the right audio chanel.

also a newer digital camera for my mom (new battery on the way from ebay), also one for my friend paul the plumber. also super awesome powered speakers & subwoofer dealie for peter (1st roomie above) and another set for me (which turned out to have one dead speaker, which I replaced today with one from a different broken set I have nearly thrown away about 4 times).

what else: 2 playstation twos (no games tho) including gun-controllers I've never seen before, and can't imagine using. possibly I can sell these on ebay or craigslist?... a brand new in-box, still clipped together pair of ugg loafers... umm what else? maybe that's it.

what's new with you? {see note at right about emailing me}
