Blah blah blah

Okay, so a couple of days have passed and nothing new has been happening. I did, however, get my new NEC DVD+R/RW dual layer drive this afternoon, so I spent the evening putting it into my Dell. It took some finessing, what with having to remove the front accent piece (the drive slides out from the front and the plastic molding just barely covers the edges of the drives), so rather than use brute force, I had to play around for a while. After a little while, I got it in, got all the cables connected and away I went. It works pretty nice, too. Fast open/close and speed up time was really quick. Not bad for $50 on Amazon. Now all I need to do is wait for the dual layer discs to get here and I'll be set (on the down side, the order was sent to two different vendors, so the delivery times didn't sync up).

If it seems like I'm rambling, I've got a serious cramp in my neck, so I took a couple of oxycotins to help ease my suffering. Monday and Tuesday I was painting the kitchen and it took me that long to put several coats on the textured ceiling (who in their right mind puts a textured ceiling up in the kitchen, let alone anywhere anymore?!?). So, with all the looking up, my neck is not quite right.

I think I'll pop in a movie and call it a night.
