eor"The middle of the road is trying to find me,
I'm standing in the middle of my life,
with my pants behind me."
So I was really distracted this afternoon by setting up![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
derien's new PC. This is the first PC made of all new parts she's had in years. Like 15! So I'm totally distracted by making it right, because I'm anal retentive as hell. Wire ties, I have a thing for them.
Anyway, it's ungodly hot and humid, so at some point I think "something cold to drink would be good." Ten minutes or so later I remember the thought and append to it, I could have a rum and coke. I get as far as filling the glass with ice and get distracted by the need to look at RAM heat sinks on the Internet. After who knows how long, I remember the concept of beverage. I bop out to the kitchen, grab a coke and start pouring it over the ice. Oh, yeah, I was going to put some rum in that, something I usually do first so it get mixed in well with all the bubbly goodness. No worries, I'll add it now that the glass is halfway full, while thinking of other things. (Here it is kids, mistake number one.) Pour, pour, pour. Oh, wait, this is not coke I'm glug, glug, glugging into the glass! Oh, ****! That looks as transparent as a drink you'd get at a dive bar. (Here is mistake number two. Don't try this at home kids!) I'm not going to waste that much coke. Well, maybe if I drink it down a ways, I can add the rest of the can of coke. Oh, wow, that is strong. Maybe not. Maybe if I get another glass and pour half in that and fill the rest up with coke. Oh, wow, I'm glad I'm not going anywhere this century.
It's a good thing it doesn't take a license to drive a mouse or a brain to install Windows 7. Only 37 updates to install, woot!
