So I gave up on Fedora for the laptop. It would refuse to boot and just got stuck in some weird loop, not even a Windows recovery thing would do it. So I tried Ubuntu (with MATE) and it Just Worked. Well. Maybe Lunix really is ready for the desktop. So now Windows and Lunix are successfully booting on it.

man this show is really weird.

Okay, so, I can't find the one old iPod I have that I bricked and got working again by plugging it into the new laptop but then would only update on it - I had it just the other day and I was excited to get it back into shape with the newly-booting-again laptop. I hope I didn't lose it. I last remember having it at the gym the other day, hopefully I didn't leave it there. Other option is the office. I think I'll stop in the gym in the morning.

tomorrow si the first day of classes for those with classes. for those without classes, it's still the first day of classes.

Yada yada yada, mouse ate some cookies and then some wires in the car, now we have a situation where we can't turn on the blowers or it turns off the car. Fun! Things are a little tight at the moment. Oh well, we'll manage.

Also I'm occasionally remembering to minimize plastic bag usage. Woo. Small steps.
