very simple

Well, Thanksgiving is over in my house, after a rousing game of Trivial Pursuit. well, it was rousing for the first fifteen minutes, and then everyone wandered off to get dessert and have side conversations, and the game eventually had to get called due to people having to leave.

In computer related news, we did eventually manage to get my stepmother’s computer working on the wireless network, thanks to some help from my stepmother’s nephew, who actually works in IT for ESPN. It always helps to have someone who knows what they’re doing (as opposed to a lawyer with some technical know-how) around. What he did involved rooting around the DOS menus though, and I’m pretty sure that’s more than what’s expected of the average computer user.

And now I’m already locked in my room, under to covers. Cough still hasn’t gone away, and I’m bordering on antisocial. Tomorrow I’m going to try to take the car and spend a few hours by myself, maybe do some shopping. I still have to get a wedding gift for one of my best friends who got married this summer, and I have in my head the idea of what I want to get, but actually executing the plan involves a little work, as well as compliant antique shops (which are much easier to attack in the Berkshires than in Manhattan). If I can’t find what I want, I’ll have to come up with a Plan B, since I’m sure there’s nothing left on the registry at this point…

Goodnight y’all. I’m going to bury myself under the covers and watch the PBS documentary about Broadway…They’re up to the last 25 years.
