Upgrades suck.
But you knew that already.
Yes, that’s right, I’m spending my hard-earned Saturday night at work. Specifically, as I type this, the system is STILL backing itself up - it’s now 22:42, and it only started at 19:00 - but the real fun starts once it finishes and I can get on there to actually upgrade to Domino 6.
It’s almost sad that I’ve looked forward to this. There was once a time when I’d look forward to Saturday nights because it meant I’d be going out on the town, ogling hot boys and drinking and on occasion dancing - you know, general carousing - but it seems those carefree days have passed. Alas.
Oh well, it isn’t so bad. I’m drinking some nice French roast coffee, eating granola bars, and listening to Stevie Wonder and P-Funk. There’s nobody around to bug me; I can do pretty much whatever I want while I wait for the stupid thing to finish saving itself.
[You'll note the choice of link for the Stevie Wonder href. I am of the opinion that that particular song is the most perfect song ever written; it covers all the angles on love, that most complex of emotions, and does so in an engaging manner.]
Enough for now - time to check on my backup. I’ll probably write more in a few minutes, as the new software loads.

The New York Times has a good piece entitled ‘2 Servings of Reality, Please‘, about how the unilateralist actions of our beloved (?) President are giving the rest of us a painfully necessary lesson in diplomacy. Worth a read. (I especially like the author’s synopsis of global opinion early in the article.)
