Just opened the boxes...

matrixrefugee...and I'm suddenly jittery over the idea of setting up the new comp. Connecting the cables, etc. always makes me nervous... though first I'll have to unhook the old computer, pack that up and set up the new one here in the study. My mom suggested taking this box and using it downstairs, but do I really want to inflict this thing and all its bugs on her? I'm tempted to ask my dad if he can get his friend the computer whiz at work to come over and give me a hand, just as some moral support.
Got the Flash drive earlier this evening, and on the way back, my dad got it into his head to go up the Loop Mall again and see if he couldn't find more of a series of toy classic cars he's been collecting. So while he was doing that, my mom and I nipped into the Borders bookstore there. Man, they've got a bunch of Neil Gaiman's miscellaneous (ie. non-DC/Vertigo) graphic novels. I almost bought "Harlequin Valentine", but I need the cash to buy a black tie for my Constantine costume. I'm almost all set for the big night: I just need the tie and to make a stencil for the (temporary) arm tattoos: I ran across the perfect image to use, so I'll take that into Lowell on Tuesday and blow it up to the right size before I print it out and use it for a template to trace onto some waxed paper.
