Coffee and Beans

The day I have been dreading has come to pass.

My laptop is dying! The screen comes up dark, but when you wiggle the hinge it lights up again.

If it were consistent in this behavior I’d still be able to use it, but it’s pretty erratic.

I’ve had this machine for over four years and it’s served me well. It deserves to make an austere exit from my life. I should let it float away on a large chunk of ice or deliver it to Valhalla on a burning Viking ship. Or I may just throw it at a car. I haven’t decided yet.

Apartment Therapy is my new favorite blog to read. It’s got lots of great tips for interior design and living. Plus it’s pup and kitty friendly too.

I recently rearranged all the furniture in my bedroom. Lots more light, lots more storage space in there now. Plus the bed-that’s-shaped-like-a-race-car that I sleep in is now lower to the ground. Vroom vroom!

Are any of you going to San Diego Comic-Con? I would go but my Naruto suit is at the cleaners. Plus this weekend I’m going to be busy reading and having an existential crisis.

“Adam Baldwin will be there!” said Kim. Adam Baldwin of Firefly. Not Adam Baldwin of the brothers Baldwin.

Stan says that he definitely isn’t a member of the Baldwin clan, but I think that he secretly is. He just hides this link from the rest of the world. This way he gets the best of both — the notoriety of the name without the stigma of being directly related to the guy who co-starred with Pauly Shore in “BioDome”.
