Lots of little things happening.
We're all dug out, and my car is ready to go to yoga this morning. Zippy did a lot of the shoveling yesterday; I cleaned up this morning. Not such a bad storm, all in all. I worked at the studio for a bit yesterday (until the storm got too bad) then hung around the house. Not much work got done.....
I've decided (after a dozen or so instances of chronic lock-ups, running in safe mode, and system restores) to punt on this stupid laptop. I'm gonna reformat and reinstall the O/S from start. Just too much time and energy spent trying to keep it breathing. To that end, I just ordered a Sony Vaio which I will pick up this afternoon. A bit of work to get it up and running with all my apps and networking, but I've just had it, and have two travel gigs in the next few weeks that demand a computer. A double whammy curse to Windows Vista and Toshiba.
We are having friends over for dinner tonight, a long delayed a dormant women's movie night. We have two Netflix films in house: Deepa Mehta's Fire and something called By Hook or By Crook. Neither is light; I may go pick up something less cerebral at Blockbuster. I'm making a couple of new dishes - Kinpira (julienne' carrots and burdock root), and curried quinoa. I did a dry run on the kinpira yesterday (came out great), the quinoa is a it of an exploration. Zippy as some ground turkey thing he makes (olives and capers), and we have some chicken breasts as well (figure those are safe alternatives, this is not a super adventurous crowd)
Hopefully, I am gonna get some work done (tomorrow, probably) and then I am heading to the CARC Oscar party on Sunday night.
Off to yoga!
