Serenity² - SOOOOPER RANDOM!! by RelFexive

When I was deciding what mp3 player to have, it came down to a choice between an iPod and a Creative Zen Xtra. In the end, I settled on the Zen because it cost £100 less for the same storage and was more PC friendly. Meant not tying myself to Apple and their silly AAC format.

I use the third-party program Notmad by Red Chair Software to upload and manage my mp3 files, because the software Creative provided is awful, as Creative software often is.

At the end of the day, with the iPod's infamously bad batteries (a lie Apple has not really been brought to book on) and the fact that they degrade the quality of any mp3s they play, my choice was a good one.

The 'net at work is pitifully slow today. It's bad enough it takes forever for a FFF page to load, but stuff I'm trying to download for actual work is timing out. Grr, arrgh.

We had an impressive thunderstorm come through last night. I was out driving to pick up my son from work (didn't want him walking home in the storm) and passed a park just in time to see a real light show from arcing power lines going down. Power was out for a chunk of town for the rest of the night and, though my house kept power, cable (and hence internet) was out--still is. Passed by the spot in the daylight this morning to see half of a very large tree down, which took the power and cable lines with it, burying some poor sod's parked car and a goodly part of the street as well.

I wonder if there's any relation to the work 'net being so slow? Probably not.

I remember it snowed on my birthday once, when I was living in Maryland. I did not think it a fun thing.

PR-I can't believe Soul's gone, either. He was my own true love (on the TREE). I will be very upset when I learn what happened. (That sentence made sense to no one but you, PR.) I'm going to have to be a Zoe now, aren't I?

Well I thought that you should have them, and then I realised they were somewhere outside reality. So I thought that maybe they were magically left by Soul, as a parting gift. And I remember how much fun you had using it to defend the Tree from the EI's.

Hey CMS! Happy Birthday (bound to still be your birthday in some timezone or other). Yup, jet lag has now passed me by but instead I'm suffering from work lag and dog lag where I have to do the work of two people and look after two dogs, one of whom is still reluctant to embrace the idea of peeing outside the house. In fact, she seems to relish coming in and immediately relieving herself with excitement.

Plus, I just ate too much curry. Definite mistake.

And I have the same sort of issues with my cat. He used to be toilet trained (no lie, best thing ever!) but now he has a litterbox and sometimes he gets confused and can't remember where he's supposed to go and then he leaves me presents in the bathtub. I love those days.

It's always hard to go back to work after a vacation.

Aw, even your kittie remembered?

Last present I got, was killed in the house.

Here's the story:

I was really tired, long day at school and I took a nap and I forgot I left the door open to let in my outdoor kitty. Well.. During the course when I was asleep my kitties chased a bird inside the house (all over the house) and finally killed it next to the front door. So I wake up and there feather's EVERYWHERE. Even on me (ew) so I track the feathers and find a mangled body at the door... You should've heard the shrill pitch of my scream. I bet the neighbor's thought I was being Murdered.
