Staci has gone off to West Palm Beach, FL which is apparently where good things go to die as far as I can tell from her description of the place. Until she returns on the 20th it’s just me and the boys in the house. We’ll try not to wreck the place too much and we all sure do miss you.

My PowerBook done went and crapped out again. Inexplicably she worked like a charm for a week and then back to shitty no video land. Realizing that arranging for shipment to the Apple repair center would be troublesome with my work schedule, I went ahead and left her in the care of the fellows at my local Apple Store. I trust she’ll be just fine.

In Staci’s absence I have turned intermittently to Dragon Warrior VII to pass the time. I’ve become strangely obsessed with it. When I’m playing it I tend to get bored because it’s a Dragon Warrior/Quest game and those tend to be proudly obtuse. But when I turn it off and start to do something else my mind keeps drifting back to it. I really can’t explain it. I haven’t even made it to the class changing system — I expect it will cause me no end obsessive consternation.

The weather has been nice lately. I think I might take Leroy down to the river tomorrow.
