The awesome homemade hat is keeping it together for me

This is my brain on amoxicillin, sudafed, tylenol, mucinex, and hydrocodone cough syrup. All I need is a margarita!

KIDDING.

My teeth hurt.

This is also my brain ODing on iTunes. Notice how all four eyeballs in the photo appear to be looking in different directions? And notice the giant CD rack silently mocking me in the background? This project is driving me batty. I have ripped 259 CDs. I think I have 350-ish to go. I am pretty sure I will run out of disk space before I get there.

Speaking of bats in the attic, I returned our new Windows laptop today, the one we bought a month ago, for repairs. It works just fine. There is nothing really wrong with it. There's just one little thing: the battery is slightly loose. It does not sit securely in its bay. When I hold it the way one always holds a laptop, or use it on my lap, as these things were designed to be used, I can feel and hear the battery jiggling around. It finally drove me crazy enough that I called the Dell help line. And the nice person on the phone had me remove the battery, re-insert it, remove, insert, etc blah blah blah no it's not broken it's just driving me insane I expected better quality than this so sue me I'm a Mac user maybe my expectations were a little high.

Deep breath. At any rate, they sent me an empty box, and I sent it back with the laptop inside. My fingers are crossed.

Hopefully I will come up with something else to talk about before the MP3 drive fills or or the Dell returns home so I can bump what may be the most unattractive photo I've ever taken of myself down the page a bit.

(Obviously I also think it's hilarious, or I wouldn't have put it up there. But still.)
