today is friday 06 january 2006.
about a week after i get meatloaf (new computer), i am glad to say that i'm finally all set up. really my first time to work with win xp (don't ask), and all the updated software is hip indeed.
did i ever mention my run-in with dell? when i detached a motorola cell phone to mendellssohn (the computer of the charisian presence), the mother board fried. an hour phone call had me removing the hd, memory, etc.--conclusion was to send it in. apparently nobody at dell speaks unaccented english (everyone is from the south or india). she took my address as "w darkness ave" instead of "w dartmouth ave". so when the box didn't arrive on the 16th as the technician mentioned, i made e-mail inquiries (all of which were replied to within 6 hours). ended up dell did send the box, but to some unknown address.
so monday the 19th i head over to dhl to get the box, pack the sick computer in the box, and send her on her way. we're off to hawaii on the 20th. the 28th we get back--but no computer in sight.
so i call dell, and they tell me their memphis facility got mendellssohn on the 21st. but because of Christmas orders, expect delays up to two weeks. i didn't believe the guy, so i called again friday. the guy said he'll talk to his supervisor and call me back within the hour. actually i didn't get a call from dell, but one from dhl instead. the computer was sitting at the denver west facility and would be home within the hour. so all ends well with mendellssohn . . .
as far as the trip to hawaii--i'll need to post photos sometime. the charisian presence liked banyan trees for some strange reason . . . and yes, orbit is still a fat dog.
dodgers are making changes galore. jae seo looks like he'll be in the rotation. the garciaparra move is curious. who knows--maybe they won't take third place next year.
