My lack of presence was due to my keyboard breaking, which somehow broke the mouse too. I now have a pretty black replacement (keyboard, mouse was fine). And a working sound card, now I just need speakers to plug into it...

We just spent the last two days in georiga, planning to shop in an antique/junk mall called the big peach, which we had been to before. unfortunately, we didn't think to check for it's exact location (as last time you could see the ads from the interstate) or even if is was still in business. So, in the end, we didn't go to the peach, and the sum of the trip is one cooking pot and a few hundred miles of wasted gas.

mood not working...I'm only slightly distracted. Is more sleepy now.
