Almost the end of the month! And I've been working on
some stuff -- and thinking about some other stuff -- today,
so I figured I'd go ahead and type about it.
But first, for those of you who cannot live without some
weekly Boo...
Blog!
Oh yeah, blogging every day has gone exceptionally well this
month. There are still days when I can't figure out what to
say, of course... but I think I'm starting to deal with those
better.
Crochet!
I am working on my last xmas scarf, and I'm about ½ done!
I think I'll be mostly done with it next weekend, and
plenty of time to really jazz it up. Yay!
Postcards!
*sighs* I have decided to put the PostCrossing on hold for
a while. I still have a huge stack of addressed postcards
that I've not touched, and I haven't even started on my
november postcard for my monthly exchange.
It's just not as fun
anymore now that the scanner is dead in the water (or alive,
just completely unaccessable) and the printer is a pain to
run (through my other computer).
Computers!
ah the computers. Those evil devices that are annoying me
today! :) SO's computer is running well, there's just some
tweaking that I need to get to. Today I am working on the
Sheep. I finally got through moving all my old files and
did a quick virus check this morning. And then I started
a back-up.
I am not too proud to admit: I have never ever done a real
backup in my life. I have copies of some of my files, but
this has never been an organized scheme at all. But with the
new computer, I thought I would be a good and responsible
computer user and do real backups.
I figured a few hours, maybe 15 or so disks and the pain of
being responsible would be over.
Yeah, right.
I'm at 4.5hours, disk #30... and the progress bar is just a
bit past the half way point. *Annoyance reigns supreme*
Do normal people EVER put up with this kind of crap?? Well,
I have definitely learned my lesson. If I backup SO's computer
it will be on a separate hard drive, and I will only backup
the files under his username.
Art Projects in General
I guess I abandoned the NaNoJouMo
It was fun, I'm just doing too much this month. In the
meantime: a couple of other projects have popped into my
head! Have to see how december goes. :)
Reading??
Yep, books and mags. I think I'm finally getting bored with
the Uglies series... it's Young Adult, and a fine
adventure story. Just on the look out for something new, now!
And, I've finally organized my
NaBloPoMo Prize!!!
