i'm pre-coffee - - so you get a list.

List of things accomplished so far this holiday weekend:

1) Debut with men's chorus, check
2) Ran a red light right in front of a cop, got a ticket, cursed about it, with Portland David taking pictures of the cop in the rear view miror, check
3) Had breakfast with David and Jay fuzzyjay, check
4) and then introduced them to Miss Kate and took pictures at the muffin penthouse, check
5) shopped at Mr. S with David for Valentines Day, check
6) Had dinner out last night and got rotten service and terrible food, check
7) Another great concert with unexpected friends and folks in the audience, check
8) Two lovely nights snuggling in flannel sheets with my man, check

more to come? some more warbling with the menses - and some time out with Miss Kate and David but most likely a quiet day. (and returning to Mr. S to buy a few lovely little items, that store has so many naughty things to choose from)

so beautiful!

buying a new desktop computer.....

Okay - I've decided I need to buy a new work home computer because I am going to install a lot of applications that I'll need (if I work from home in the evenings, etc.) and want to be able to multitask.

My laptop - the trusty thing - is a Pentium 1.7Ghz processor with only 1.99G Ram.

I've been looking at systems with a 2.5GHz processor and a minimum of 6G Ram. Like this system from Gateway.

I went to Best Buy to purchase today - and this particular system was sold out (despite being plastered all over their website and Sunday sales flyer). I can order it online for $560. (with shipping, etc.)

All I need is the tower - I don't need a monitor or any other peripherals.

David also suggested that I could save getting a 4G Ram if I had a computer savvy friend who could install a ram chip for me. But well.

Okay - and before people scream "Go Mac" - - I own several thousand dollars of PC based design software that would cost a small fortune to run on a PC - and I wouldn't want to buy "virtual PC" software for a Mac - because well that sorta defeats the whole "going Mac" conversation doesn't it?

so - looking for a great 6G Ram Tower with a faster processor so I can multitask (say stream Battlestar Gallactica video while Photoshop is open?). Thoughts? Ideas?

Dave says "the web-o-sphere might have some good ideas and might save you some money in the long run" :)

so - thoughts?

Oh l'amour, l'amour....
