Maintaining consciousness took more coffee than usual.

I was tired at work today and it didn’t help that my laptop was dead. They fixed it first thing in the morning, but they found “oddities” in the IT backdoors. They kept trying to fix it and they told me it would take half-an-hour at 10:30AM but I didn’t get it back until about 4PM. They never thought it would take that long so I didn’t get a loaner laptop until just before I got my real laptop back. What a mess.

I had a mixtape (which is no longer on a tape) from a friend with mystery songs on it. I finally figured out I could use Shazam on my iPhone to figure out what some of the songs were. After I was through, I bought 2 more CDs (Rasa: Exotica and Rasa: Exotica II), a DVD (Comfort and Joy) and a wallet. Not that I can afford any of this after deciding on remodeling, but whatever. I think I’ve bought a dozen CDs since I got my iPhone. Funny how that works.

I’m still trying to decide whether to go to Japan this fall. I’m feeling broke, but that never stopped me. The only question is whether the contractors will be around while I’m screwing around in another country. My sister doesn’t think she can make it (too much work, probably) so I’m really on the fence. I’ll probably end up flipping a coin in the end.
