Made my pasta for dinner. Step grandma really likes spike and was pretty OK with the pasta. Score another point for my killer pasta.

Met up with the step family. They're remodeling a trailer on a lot they just bought. I helped for a second. Overheated. Nerded in the van.

Him (out loud): "We're doing the same thing, but getting paid for it."

Me (in my head): "I'd rather have a life than a living."

I hadn't realized that you can still boot into transfer disk mode with 9-pin FireWire 800. Turns out you can. Sweet!

In Wesley Chapel, Florida to visit my step-grandma and my step-step-grandpa. No joke.

The window arrangement in Snow Leopard's Expose is pretty fantastic.
