Death by TV and "yé où mon laptop?"

Had a very nice day visiting my dad for a rather belated birthday dinner, despite some poor weather on the drive back. azrhey also suffered through a nearly lethal dose of french canadian "culture", in the form of "Star Académie" and an enthusiastic living room audience, LOL!

I have a receipt for a deposit on a PowerBook in my bag, and I'm getting twitchy. :-)

I GOT MY DVD!

On a note in the package:

Dear Supporter,

Thank you very much for your patience and support during the Phase II of Neubauten.org Supporter Project. We are pleased to have been able to make this album independently, which would not have been possible without you. Enclosed are two extra copies of the CD, which are yours to do as you please: we hope you will share this result of our work and your contribution with your friends and anyone else who may be interested.

We hope to see you back with us in Phase 3.

So I have two CDs to give away. I suspect one will go to musicdieu, any taker for the other?

And tonight, I shall be watching my DVD! Gna!

You win some, you lose some...

Today, on the plus side, I rescued some old data that the ever sentimental gregorama was attached to. A 40 megs hard drive's full content, shoved into a 13 megs ZIP file. I'll put it on my portable music player (which has 512 megs!). He passed me on some nice Dresden Dolls and Devotchka to listen to, it sounds nice, might look into getting some.

On the down side, the release I was supposed to make at work today isn't happening, since it's missing one tiny part. Damn. Should be done quickly tomorrow, but oh, so close!

Now, I'm off to watch my Einstürzende Neubauten Grundstück DVD (here's the trailer, for those who might want to borrow it) with some pizza! Woohoo!
