How shall we say?
le bwahahahahahahahaaha
The copy of Win2k we were waiting for came to our home, not the PO box, so I didn't have to leave the house... but I was dressed and ready to go anyway, so I went and picked up lunch. Went to a small local chain that does Chicago-style hot dogs... got up some Chicago dogs for Rose and some chili-cheese dogs for me, yum! With a side order of the most sinful onion rings I've ever had... I'm ready for a nap!
Rose is busy installing Win2k on our new computers, so we'll be up and running on the new systems soon, yay!
Texas won, but barely... so sorta yay!
Ummmm.....I don't do lines! :)
There are other, bigger theaters around. This one is the closest (to where I live, that is), it's comfy, and they don't play the sound too loud. I don't feel the need to fight the crowds and traffic just to see it in a "big" theater. And then there's the one not too far from where I work - billed as the best theater in the area - that I could go to. They have more screens, more concession choices, more video games in the lobby, etc., but the individual theaters are the same size as at the other one close to home.
Oh! And I have to suffer through only one trailer at the close-to-home theater! (Unfortunately, last year that trailer was for "Goldmember".)
Arwen gets the axe?
Ain't that the truth! It almost made me rethink my stake-out-the-best-seat-early strategy for subsequent viewings.
Elrond disowns Arwen?
Yes, these are the computers we were building from scratch. We bought two of everything; I assembled the pieces together last Saturday, so we have two identical systems. Then we discovered we'd forgotten to get data cables for the floppy drives, so I made a trip Monday to get those. Monday night we discovered our old keyboards wouldn't work on the new systems; they're so old that they have the old DIN-style connector, while the new systems only accept PS2 or USB connectors! So, Rose made a run to the local office-supply store to get a cheapie keyboard. That problem solved, we then discovered the copy of Win2K we had wouldn't work on the new systems (it was restricted to work only on Dell systems.) So, went to eBay and did a buy-it-now to get a cheap copy of Win2k, which finally arrived today!
It's been an adventure, but we're getting close to the payoff!
