Updating blog roll

Sooo, I realized I haven't changed the sidebar in over a year. And now I have blogs that I read regularly, through google reader.

Anyways, if you're a reader and have a blog, let me know and I'll link to it! Chances are I already read it. :-)

Reluctantly stimulating the economy

Our computer has been slowly going the way of all things. We helped it limp along thanks to some clean-up advice and freeware programs from the computer guys at Tim's job. But it's demise is near. It was really frustrating because it was taking all of the bits and pieces of time I have to work on dissertation stuff even to open the notation program I use, much less to make musical examples with it.

It's actually lasted longer than our marriage to this point, which is quickly coming upon the four year mark.

When Acme sledgehammers seem like an appealing option for fixing the computer, the time has come to bite the bullet and find a new one.

Someone suggested the Dell Outlet store. We found a laptop that had many times the memory and speed that our old one did, and for much cheaper than we would have gotten it otherwise. We didn't know the color, it was ambiguously called "Chill Pattern." But we're not really the kind that has color-coordination as a priority (though Tim was relieved that we didn't end up with Flamingo Pink). But when we looked it up online, it looked rather Art Nouveauish. Nouveau Art Nouveau? If any of y'all knew how many pictures Tim took of the Metro stations in Paris, you would know his obsession with the Art Nouveau style.

We're just getting the computer set up at this point, but we're uber-happy with it. More on our discoveries of what we can do with a fast computer later!

Gorgeous Blog!

I just stumbled on the funnest blog, in which a Parisian takes a picture of Paris each day and puts it up.

Mmmm....Paris....want to go back....
