In random news...

Jesse-cat's found a pillow we actually bought for me a long time ago and claimed it as his throne. A few minutes ago he wandered in and just crashed out on it. Yesterday I actually tried to use it when I was playing SSX3... only to discover it's now covered in black cat hair.

And according to elementals_, I'm a lake and a cat. Kinda makes sense that I'd be somewhat dichotomous like that. *shrug*

Thank God for insurance

As much of a pain in the ass as it is to pay $269 a month for insurance after they hiked up my premium from $234 (though I'm going to appeal that) I was happy to have it when a check for $137 arrived today to compensate me for the wages I lost after I smacked my head. Took a while, but it definitely makes things easier. I wasn't planning on having to use said insurance ever, but I'm glad it's there.

I also feel like a dope for not realize that tomorrow is Mother's Day until about 4 in the afternoon today. For some reason I had it down for the 23rd. But tomorrow we're meeting my grandmother for lunch.

I've also fallen in love with Mozilla Sunbird, a little sister program of Firefox that works as a calendar program. It's actually easy to use and pretty intuitive, so I'm very much liking it. Leto the computer's holding up well after a month and I think I've got Vista down. We ended up putting Norton on after the McAfee that came with it turned out to be a trial and I wasn't willing to shell out that much money for it since we already had a Norton subscription from Hermes, and I like Norton better. I'm still looking for a good open source anti virus program for when this subscription expires but haven't found one yet.

I also installed a Neko in the spirit of pointlessness. It just kinda runs around the screen, but it's cute.
