dchenesSomething I call an elephant bug has bitten me once on the back of each leg. I have no idea what actually bit me. I call them elephant bugs because the welts they leave are enormous, and when I was little I said that they ought to bite elephants if they're going to leave welts like that. They itch like fury, too.
I spent a large amount of the evening of the 4th at a party fixing problems with the host's computer. Well, to be fair, it wasn't entirely fixing computer problems. It was finding a cell phone manual online, downloading it, discovering that the computer in question didn't have Acrobat Reader installed, finding that and downloading it. Mind you, this was all done via 56K modem, which kept hanging up on me. So I sat there and kept it from hanging up every fifteen minutes for a couple of hours, and when I was done downloading things, I fixed the auto-disconnect settings besides. I guess if I can't accumulate moving karma, I can accumulate computer karma. Sometimes, though, I think it would be easier if I disavowed all knowledge of Windows in general when in company.
My Cleveland friends gave me a garlic press for my birthday. Which sounds silly, but I did want one.
I have to go return library books tomorrow. And buy milk and such. And use up all those limes I bought last week. Limeade, anyone?
