Computer update

[mmebahorel]

Got my new memory card today - am taking it to Best Buy after work to have someone who knows what they are doing install it. Then maybe we'll start to have a clue as to what is wrong and thus how to fix it.

and let me tell you, it's starting to get weird being out of contact and not having my usual entertainment options. I'm generally avoiding TV due to writers strike (though tonight there's the first part of a 3 part series on Jewish America on PBS, so I'm totally watching that), and without LJ, photo uploading, Facebook friending spree, more Yuletide stories, etc, I've been *gasp* reading actual books in the evening. Problem is, boy does a girl go through a lot of books if she does that! I nearly finished Cold Mountain just on Saturday, finished it off on Monday (and went to bed early since I got home from closing far later than was the original intention). Last night, grabbing at anything nonfiction, I pulled the first nonfiction off the top of my box from home: Primo Levi's Survival in Auschwitz. While I think this must be from Intro to Political Theory because it had been in the box with Nietzsche's On the Geneology of Morality or whatever the actual title is (the one that postulates that Christianity is weird because it makes weakness good, whereas in all previous cultures, weakness was bad), why in the hell did Vatter assign this? It's not political theory. But I can't think of any other class I took freshman year that it could possibly have come from. I've only got a couple chapters left in that one (it's quite short). If this goes on much longer, I'm going to have to either find where the hell I put Louis Philippe's autobiography so I can do something productive or else start rereading Bleak House (because both my copies of LM are totally buried, probably more than the Bourgeois King).

Going to NY on Saturday to stalk non-LM boys - see Robert one last time in Spamalot and get student tix for Farnsworth Invention because a) adore that show and b) adore Jimmi Simpson. Intention this time to actually stage door. and will probably book for Sunday in the Park with George in order to avoid internet fees and actually get decent seats for v. early in the run (really want to hit first or second weekend because I'm obsessed). On Roundabout's site, looks like they've finally put theatre seating into Studio 54 rather than the table seating that was still there for Pacific Overtures, so orchestra seats might actually be feasible.

Hopefully soon I'll be back in real contact. Going nuts only having computer at work.

you're on Facebook at last? And you haven't added me yet? *cries*

Farnsworth is a surprisingly good play (although the last eight minutes or so is kind of out of keeping with the rest) and Jimmi is superb.

I was slightly worried, what with how awful some parts of Studio 60 were, but I fell in love after the first scene. Yeah, the last bit is a little odd, but oh, how I love this script and this cast.

Need to catch RnR at least one more time before it closes, too.

Do you have plans for Sunday in the Park with George yet? (I know, planning ahead isn't your strong suit. But previews start two weeks from tomorrow, so that's not that far ahead, right?)

No, no plans for Sunday yet.

Kristin (ladybranwen) and I are going for the evening show on Jan 26 to start with (I already know i'll be going multiple times) if you want to meet up.
