non-einsteinian time

[rone]

Albert Einstein is credited with saying something along the lines of, "Time exists so that everything doesn't happen at once."  I have clearly transcended such mundane limitations:

• We are in the process of buying a new house (we plan to rent the current one)
• I'm in the midst of switching jobs (leaving Netflix and joining shopping.com)
• Both cars are in the shop today (and thus we are contemplating buying a newer one)
• I had to return my MacBook Pro to Netflix (which necessitated completing Portal 2 before my time was up), and my personal XP laptop hasn't been turned on in at least two years due to a bad CPU fan, so i'm writing this on my phone, which means i am contemplating buying my own MBP, even though i know that our funds first need to go towards home improvement and car repair

So, yeah.  Stuff needs doing.  Off i go, then.

Tempting but i'm a size queen and want the 17"...

Shopping.com = congrats. I used to have a little to do with that domain name! But that was in the darker AV days.

Congratulations on the new job! I hope it's much less frustrating than the old one.

Where are you buying?

[ronebofh.livejournal.com]

The house is just south of I-280 between SJSU and Spartan Stadium.

Praise be, does that actually mean you will get to go OUTSIDE WHEN IT'S LIGHT OUT?!!

Moreover, we can actually schedule some hangouts?

Hangouts will probably be greatly curtailed until we're done moving (i haven't even seen my brother since before he went to Ecuador). I hope that something can be managed in the meantime.

Congratulations and sympathies.
