To-Do

1. Get back with George

2. Make appointment at gym

3. Call eye doctor

4. Make appointment to have hair cut, curled and dyed magenta

5. Figure out how to make the television stream Netflix. Maybe I’m missing some wires? Argh.  Welp, I tried, and Mozart tried, too.  And you know if Mozart can’t figure it out, I might as well hang up my hat.  I think that the wireless signal may not be strong enough in the living room.  I note that I have a hard time getting The Leewit online in the living room, too.  A project for another day, obviously.  Or maybe I’ll buy a Zillion Feet of Cat5 and hardwire the tv to the router.

6. File before the pile becomes sentient

7. Continue hacking at backed-up bookkeeping

8. Finish folding brochures

9. Make appointment for Scrabble and Mozart to get their annual check-ups/shots

10. Get more coffee all gone, the coffee.  *is sad*

A request, o author, that when you dye your hair magenta, us unworthies may be blessed with a picture. Because that just sounds cool.

And me!
Plus, I think the idea of a sentient pile of filing sounds like fun!

I love how you just casually tossed that off. The double-take was probably magnificent, though sadly only my cat was present to witness it. Woe.

Wireless signal strength

[sb-moof.livejournal.com]

If wireless in your living room is less than stellar, you may want to look into a wireless repeater. basically, something you plug into the wall at the "edge" of steady reception and then it rebroadcasts the wireless to the rest of the house (in that direction). Something like http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_SPM4139797501P?sid=IDx20101019x00001a&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=SPM4139797501

Oh, wow, me too would love to see it. You go, girl!

In pursuit of more definition of magenta, I stumbled over this page of pictures, which suggests some of the range of styles and colors that this shy little shade may assume...

Dare one ask whether the corset will be in matching shades?

Hope Mozart and Scrabble had good check ups.

Am waiting with impatience for Guaranteed Delivery to be posted.

Was wondering what happened to George. Hope we're going to get a title soon.

Mention of Mozart helping out with the Netflix gives me a lead-in to ask: Do you follow "Simon's Cat"? The most recent one features the cat Being Helpful when Simon is on the computer.

You're making more progress on your to-do list than I am today! :)
