Yes I am still up even tho I am sick. Why, you may ask (or why do I care). Well see I am continuing in my project of the week of updating the parents computer. Tonight's task: downloading 110mb of updates. This took 7 hours. Started at 1900 and ended at 0200. Now the irony is after this I have to probably download something else, install 10.3 and then spend another night doing the same thing (as we are now at 10.3.7 which I just updated my computer this afternoon). Don't forget peripheral updates. Then I have to get their favorite places working and so on and so forth. I'll be here all weeks folks, probably even into the weekend.
Some random commentary: finished The Unifying Force which is the last book in the New Jedi Order series. It's strange now that it's done. I read it so piecemeal as it came out I never got a strong sense of things. Just brief memories which sort of interconnect things when they were mentioned. However the concept was good just not my reading pattern. This book actually took me over half a year to read because I started reading it the day I left for England but was halfway through it so I left it here (rather then finish it on the plane and have extra deadweight). Ok, let's see where the galaxy is: Chewie's dead, Anakin (Solo) is dead. Jacen's prolly baddest-ass of all the Jedi. Luke and Mara have a kidlet. The Jedi are going a completely new path then ever before. At minimum a half dozen well known worlds (Ithor, Coruscant, and Yavin 4) have been destroyed or radically altered. New Republic gone. Galatic Alliance in. Imperials = good guys. That's all I can think of off the top of my head. A fair amount of the legends showed up here. A couple died (I forgot Ackbar but he died a non-combat death, ie old age). The galaxy will never be the same as it's been so thoroughly shook up.
Relating to that I have finished watching the Star Wars DVDs with commentary. I can't believe Han Solo killed Ben Burtt! What was he thinking with the movie half done? They're lucky the got sound for the last half of Return of the Jedi!
Twism's in the apartment now. He nicked the master bedroom (with it's own walk-in closet and bathroom). I am a whee bit irked because I did go to the effort of finding the place I guess I think I should get the choice of bedrooms. However I am telling myself it's a minor thing and all that. We have a place and that is good. Exciting times anyhow. I am going to hunt for an office chair tomorrow because I realized I won't have anything to sit on to use my computer. For the moment my computer desk will be a card table but I am expecting my sister to surrender her old unwanted computer desk at some point.
Finals thoughts: Dad finished the bookshelf! Yay I have a place to store my RPG books and the rest of my library now! It is sad, pathetic, and nerdy that I am soooo excited about getting a bookshelf? Oh well, it looks darn cool if I do say so myself.
Anyhow time to say good night. To those who are sick like myself (but no unlike certain people named Leah I didn't get them sick) hope you all feel better soon!
