My new summer edition Field Notes. Let me show you them.
 
Grass Stain Green PLUS blind-hit letterpress cover PLUS green gridlines in soy-based ink.
 
Did I mention letterpress? Because yeah.
 
Now if you’ll excuse me, I need some “alone time” with my notebooks. Ahem.
  
Mmm, tasty and delicious writing materials. My only problem with such things is that I don’t want to ‘spoil’ them by covering their innards in my scribblings. I need to get over this stationery preciousness and actually do things.
Also: I'm going to be shameless since I'm down a computer. * noms a #moonfruit * Go on and hate me for it :(
I just had to explain the whole "om nom nom" thing to my mum. Without the aid of images. While she was grilling steak for dinner.

By-the-by, the HDD is pretty much dead on the other system, everything else is OK. I'll replace & reinstall an OS at some point.
Shopping done, mocha now being consumed. Macbook is enjoyable as my only computer in some respects - makes me do more work, less gaming! :)
It's so bloody annoying having to go all the way into town just to see how much cash is in my account. I desperately need internet banking.
I suppose I should think about getting the PC up and running again. Sigh.
Tried EVE Online. Seems nice, but playing 3D games on my Macbook frightens me (the heat!) and this screen size is far from ideal.
Giving in to temptation and installing The Sims 3 on my Macbook now.

Macbook is now my primary workstation. OSX is so nice that it's softening the blow, but still... I would like my PC to work so I can game!
Internet tells me this is probably my HDD crapping out. Stuff is backed up now, but, FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Sims 3 no longer works on my PC. Reboot results in... well, another boot failure. OH JOY!
lol. I clicked Firefox and Chrome, and by the time Firefox actually opened, I'd searched in Chrome, found what I wanted, and downloaded it!
Strange. PC booted up with no problems this morning...

Windows XP can indeed look presentable, with some fiddling. - http://brilliantology.co.uk/post...

Deleting every game I haven't played so far in 2009 too. If I haven't played them by now, I probably won't miss them.
Uninstalling The Sims 2 and all of the expansions and a few of the stuff packs. This is a big moment for me.

@brokenbottleboy I just realised I may have come over as being sarcastic/arsey "lol wiki it" there - I wasn't :(
@brokenbottleboy Crazy, there's a wiki article on them! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... It says April 2002 in SanFran there.
Somehow... somehow I just got into Windows... what?
Back from walkies. Mood lightened, til I rememebered I have Windows death to sort out. NO I AM NOT GOING TO STOP WHINING ALL DAY ABOUT THIS
Going to burn an ubuntu live CD in hopes of rescuing some of my files from the unconscious PC. (I have a Mac, no need to tell me to get 1)
Grumble grumble grumble...
