… comes another hellaciously crazy week.<\/p>\n

Work stuff keeps coming fast and furious, with replanning of older projects that have slipped going alongside new projects hurtling toward us like orbital kinetic weaponry. <\/p>\n

On the home front — I’m beginning to remember why I ended my theatrical career in college (or, perhaps, why my girlfriend insisted I do so), as the Cotton Patch Gospel<\/em> takes up my non-working waking hours as if I had entered a monastery. Line running and rehearsals every night this week, culminating (praise Allah!) with the actual performances on Friday and Saturday night (7 p.m.), not to mention Sunday afternoon (3 p.m.). Y’all come now, hear?<\/p>\n

(We did a demo of one of the songs at the announcements at church at two of the services, and it was extremely well received — which was gratifying, to be sure.)<\/p>\n

I still have a tremendous amount of work to do memorizing stuff. Rrg.<\/p>\n

Margie, btw, is being very supportive of both endeavors (work and “play”). Many kudos to her. She even understands my need to stay up late (but not too late) playing CoH when I get home at night.<\/p>\n

The only weekend activity not otherwise<\/a> documented<\/a> was going computer shopping for Margie. Between the 512Mb limit, and some unhealthy fan sounds, and general slowness and congestion, her old Vaio is reaching the end of its useful life in our household.<\/p>\n

Biggest annoyance here (aside from contemplating the eventual transfer of data and reinstallation of programs) is that the nice new graphics card<\/a> we got for her PC will almost certainly not transfer over. That’s because it’s an AGP-slot card, and the industry is shifting to PCIe, and you can’t find new machines with AGP slots.<\/p>\n

Rrg.<\/p>\n

Poking around here and there, I think it most likely we’ll go for an eMachine and buy a PCIe nVidia card for her. At Jackie’s suggestion, we looked at Dell, but, frankly, the price comparison isn’t there. I don’t need any fancy bells and whistles, and the eMachine I was looking at<\/a> will do the trick just fine. Total price should be around $800.<\/p>\n

Plus, of course, actually figuring out the time to get the frelling thing installed.<\/p>\n

And so it goes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
