Updated the journal style.
I should be writing, but seriously, who hasn't diverted themselves from doing something hard by doing something just to kill time? My journal looks better, at least until I get my main computer out of the shop so I can use Photoshop again. We're onto week three now. At least it's covered by warranty. But seriously. It's like sending away a member of my family, at this point. I'm just glad The Little Laptop That Could, i.e. Eleanor, i.e. the Dell Latitude D620 I'm working on right now, is proving hardy as a Shetland and is putting up with my abuse again after languishing for months. She's officially going to be my Travel Laptop, so whenever I finally get Bette (the new Dell Precision) out of the shop, the persnickety mechanical wench can just enjoy life in her ivory tower and never get moved around.
Eleanor is so named as a reference to Gone In 60 Seconds, because she was the first laptop I bought for myself. She's my unicorn. She was a bitch to save up for, and I made several abortive attempts to get her before I managed to finally attain a laptop of my own.
Bette is named for the tall, sleek, sexy and Amazon-ish character from The L Word. When she likes you, she's a dream, but if you piss her off she can be a heartless and cruel mistress.
Now back to work! I have a scene to overhaul.
