The Free Clinic

No Avatar in 3D for me today. Had to take Horace to the hospital, his optical drive had an allergic reaction to Windows 7.

More proof of my innate psychosis: when faced with a choice of dumping Horace the Dell in favor of Horace II the Asus, I realized how much I had actually formed an attachment within a short amount of time. Horace had slept beside me; I'd come home to him, and he was dying to see my hometown. How could I abandon him, even if I do have the option to within 7 days from purchase?

He fought so hard for my attention, too. It was Dell vs. Asus and it took a long time for me to make a commitment. I guess I really am committed - I looked at both and thought that for all the alternate unit had to offer, I was now with Horace till his motherboard conks out. To the bitter end.

All's well that ends well; Windows 7 is still ironing out the kinks, after all.

Also, I have to say that Abby was right - it's incredibly convenient having someone who works for Dell be within shouting distance.

Avatar will have to wait until tomorrow - I'll go after work. My first time to watch a movie in 3D! I wonder what it'll be like.
