Guess what I did tonight?

Yep, that’s right.  More cleaning in preparation for the new carpet.  We’ve got 1.5 of 3 bedrooms cleaned out and boxed up, tomorrow we’re going to try to finish up our master bedroom around Tasha working late and me going to karate.

I have kicked up a vast and horrifying cloud of ancient dust, most of which is settling in my sinuses.  The inside of my nose itches and there is nothing I can do about it but complain.  Poor me, I know.

I am eagerly anticipating the Apple event that will take place tomorrow.  I hear they’re going to revamp the iPod line, and with it should come some cool new features.  If one of those features is turn-by-turn GPS, I’m getting it.  I fell in love with a coworker’s Garmin nuvi 350 during our last Denver trip, and I want in on that action.

Graciously, the end is in sight for this whole carpeting ordeal.  We have a few small pieces of furniture to move, but the rest of the effort is just boxing up and moving plastic tubs and cardboard boxes… considerably less taxing and/or aggrevating than going through boxes of old clothes and papers.

The last important thing to note: God Bless the technology trend that made Dell and Asus put ghosted partitions that contain the factory default installations on them for morons like me that enjoy tinkering with our systems.  My Dell laptop was in sore need of cleaning, so I found a forum entry that instructed me to press Ctrl+F11 during boot up to send it to a hidden tool to reinflate the original image onto the hard drive.

Wham, instant fresh Dell.  I’ve spent far more time agonizing over my iTunes library than I did restoring the entire computer.  I guess you’ll have that sometimes though!
