Food & links!

On the way home, stopped by the grocery store for human- and animal-foods (vegetables); once home, I checked out the headlight kit that arrived, gathered the bird and went back out to Petsmart, where I chatted with the sales associates and picked up bird- and lizard-food. :)

Now to make dinner, later perhaps a photo upload. (Already offloaded and retouched.)

Not-happifying router news

Well, I was unable to get the new wireless router to broadcast a wireless network that my laptop could see, and then this afternoon, the router started repeatedly dropping the wired connections, so I swapped the old router back in. All fixed, except for the wireless part--I think I'll see if they'll exchange this reconditioned unit for, say, one that works properly.

Watched the (taped) series finale of Frasier,* then last night's Simpsons, then some of Friends/Will&Grace/Dharma&Greg as Nathan channel-surfed.

* Tho' much is taken, much abides; and tho'
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

-- from Ulysses, Alfred Lord Tennyson

Still way behind on comics, but that can be fixed. :)
