The upside to being a nomad the past two months or so is I’ve spent most of my time sleeping at the GDGF’s place, which has been awesome. The downside as a hopeless nerd is I’ve been without a computer that feels like my computer; with my documents set up just so; with my e-mail read in Apple Mail instead of through a clunky webmail interface; with iCal events that help me jog my crappy memory. During the aforementioned stretch of time, my Mac Mini sat collecting dust in a bedroom at my parents’ house, a sleek little waste of silicon and plastic.

You can imagine how giddy I was when I unpacked it night-before-last and hooked it up. At long last, it was mine again, if only for a little while. Unfortunately, the goddamn gas won’t be on in my place until Wednesday, so I couldn’t stay over to play with it. It be cold in there. Plus, there won’t be Internets in there until at least Thursday or Friday, and maybe not until next week. Gah.

Anyway, no Internets there has given me more time to learn Texas’ offense in NCAA Football on my Gamecube. My cable should be hooked up in time for the SEC title game Saturday if anyone wants to come over to my place and watch Georgia lose on my stunning DLP TV. If this post seems a little incoherent, it’s because I was up at 4:45 this morning for work and haven’t taken a nap.
