1. I've got my new office computer now, and it's much better than the old one - almost as good as my home computer. The tech installed Firefox instead of IE, which is a great relief - but it's Firefox 3, so the "Open in New Tab/Window" menu slots are reversed from how they are on my home computer. I actually have to pause and look at the menu to remember which way to go.
2. I'm well into the Season One "Scarecrow" DVDs. At this point - they just nailed the mole in the agency - Amanda has saved Lee's life half a dozen times. She's also saved Billy, Queen Whatshername of Whozistan, and the entire city of Arlington, VA. So why is everyone except Billy - and that includes Lee - still acting as if she belongs on the short bus?
3. I finally got around to listening to my Who album. I only recognized three of the songs - "Pinball Wizard", "Behind Blue Eyes", "I Can See for Miles"; quite a few of the titles were familiar, but I'd never heard them. (The only reason I recognized "Behind Blue Eyes" is because Giles sang it in the Buffy episode "Where the Wild Things Are".) The consequences of an eclectic musical education, I guess.
4. I'm giving Tim Powers' Expiration Date and Earthquake Weather another try, and they've risen somewhat in my estimation. I'm still bugged by the fate of Fred the dog in the first one, though.
5. So Mitt Romney told a bunch of unemployed people that he's unemployed, too. Somehow I think the experience of unemployment is rather different when you're a fracking millionaire. (Yes, I realize it was a joke. Here's another one: Romney was fired by his last employer after four years of unsatisfactory performance reviews. Funny, huh?)
