So, last night John installed Linux on Logan (my trusty laptop). This is awesome and cool and hip and all that, but for ONE THING: NO INTERNETS. The wireless card doesn't work, boo hoo!

Thus I'm using the family computer, and it's kinda sad. Firefox spoiled me; until about 5 minutes ago all this computer had was IE, and let me just say that IE is crap. Crap, I say!

Anyway, I'm done babbling about my computer trials and tribulations. Why am I posting in mid-afternoon on a weekday, you ask, when I should be at camp with the childrens? Well, I took the day off to take care of some appointments. Looks like my tonsils will remain embedded in the depths of my throat, and lots of other good stuff besides. Hurrah?

Other than that, there's not much to report. I've been reading The Count of Monte Cristo in short, sporadic sessions lately because I made a deal with Arpi before we left Grinnell for summer: I'd read TCoMC if she read Harry Potter. Needless to say, she got addicted, read all seven of them, and JK Rowling's fanbase increased by one.

I'm really sleepy right now, so I may just go take a nap outside.

Hahaha I think Arpi definitely got the easier end of that deal.

Heh, probably. Although she did have to read a greater number of pages than I do . . .

I've been trying to convert my parents to firefox, but to no avail. I suppose I should expect this narrow-mindedness from them; after all, they are AOL users.

Ooh, linux. You're so cool. I would try linux, but I'm kind of afraid to hear that you're having problems with your wireless card, especially since we most likely have the same wireless card.

Do you still want to read Emma? :D

Boo AOL. Ah well, it's hard to change when you're set in your ways, I suppose.

And yeah, people have gotten the wireless card I have to work, but I'm scared to try and do it myself. I fear that I'll accidentally kill Logan in the process.

AND HOLY MOLY YES PLZ! Can we wait till I get done with work, or are you reading it now?
