My beautiful iMac had a bad fan, so this morning Brett took it to the Genius Bar for a little tlc. I thought maybe since it was just a fan they would be done with it by the time he got off work, but they actually have to wait a few days for the part to come in, so it could be as long as FIVE DAYS before I am basking in its warm glow once again. Only, hopefully its glow will no longer be so warm.
The GOOD thing about all this is that they're just going to go ahead and replace ALL the fans, which is cool, and while they're in there they'll check to make sure everything else is looking good, too. And it's all free. Which is also nice.
It's also kind of good timing, I guess. I never really LIKE to be without a computer, but our real estate agent is coming over on Friday to check out the work we've been doing around here, so I should really be focused on other things anyway. And I guess I'm not exactly without a computer - I have this POS PC laptop.
I mean, it's a pretty good computer and all, but it's no iMac. It's kind of like...it's like the difference between a McDonald's cherry pie and an actual slice of cherry pie; they'll both fill your belly, and they're both sweet and gooey, but one is just sooo much better than the other. Especially when it's piping hot, with crust that is light and flaky and just a little bit sweet. With maybe some sugar crystals sprinkled around the edges. (Can you tell that I really want a piece of cherry pie right now?)
Anyway. So I might post to my blog, but I won't be posting photos to flickr, scrobbling to last.fm (though I'll still listen to some stuff within last.fm), playing Challenge Sudoku or any other fb game that requires mouse skillz (this thingy has a trackpad, and I hates trackpads), or doing anything that I'd rather do on my big, beautiful iMac.
I also won't be watching Karate Kid I or II on Hulu. Because barf. I'm really not into those movies. I wish they'd put up more stuff I like. Not that they deserve my complaining though; they're friggin awesome. Speaking of friggin awesome, if you have an iPhone (or possibly even if you don't), lists.zenbe.com is friggin awesome.
I don't really care about the rest of what Zenbe has to offer (their email can only import POP so I was like, boo! because I like IMAP), but their lists thingy is great! At least for us. I'm craaazy about making lists. I make them for everything. I had a blog for awhile that I just used to post lists, but it was too tedious to keep up, so I quit and went back to using Entourage & Excel to make my lists, but the problem with that is when I want to share them with Brett, I have to manually send them to him each time I make an update, or he has an outdated version.
Zenbe is cool because I can make lists, invite B to share them with me, and either one of us can make changes that the other one can see right away. And they have a FREE iPhone app. There are other to do list apps for the iPhone that are possibly better, but they're not free. This one is, and it does what we need, and it's cool because now my to do lists can go with us wherever we go. Which might drive me crazy if I wasn't so anal, but I am, so it doesn't. Woo!

It's not gross; you should keep it long. I like it. I'll helps yous stands it up like a parrot if yous wants me tos. (Does it bother you when east coast people say "yous?" Talk about gross.)
Also, wtf? I should look at my blog on a pc more often, because it's all fuX0red up. I should also stop using tables. Because it really shows my age. :/
