It’s One Of Those Days, it seems. Nothing actually disastrous has happened, just stuff like having to go to the hardware store to exchange something that didn’t fit after the first trip and then going again to get something forgotten during the second trip–all on a day on which I’d planned to work and not go anywhere. Then there’s been some ongoing drama with the paper business that I won’t go into. Tracie’s been dealing with a migraine that finally seems to be giving up after a couple of days. Oh, and the power went out for six hours yesterday. Anybody who says that power outtages are times for old-fashioned family fun is crazy. Power outtages in a house with two businesses, six computers, and an electronic music studio are a royal PITA and no fun at all.
So, in that general frame of existence, I could do little but laugh when I got home from the day’s second trip to the hardware store, brought my main PC out of hibernation, and it presented me with this:
No, I have no idea what happened. I restarted it but decided to pause for a cup of tea before I find out whether it’s happy now.
I’m not much of a guitar player, but I’ve found strumming a guitar to be very soothing during computer restarts. Better yet, ukulele or banjo or something cheerful like that.
Chris said we need to bug you to post a studio pic. Let’s see where the magic happens.
There’s an old Steve Martin record in which he goes on about how it’s impossible to not be cheerful when you’re playing the banjo.
Sometimes I play with my DS Lite while restarting. Sometimes I play with the cats.
I’ll post some pics after I remember to take some when the light in here is better.
