kestrellThis past weekend was my birthday weekend, which was awesome! How did you like those Perseid showers? Yes, I get celestial fireworks on my birthday every year!
I took Friday off from my internshIp so that I could sit in the living room and watch movies with Alexx, my favorite audio describer. We rewatched some scenes from Sandman that I want to write about, then watched "Lost City," starring Sandra Bullock.
Alexx gave me a small fog machine! You see, every year I bemoan the fact that I do not own a fog machine so that I can do Halloween right, and I usually follow this up with the comment that "they make really small, reasonably priced ones nowadays..."
Now I'm in the market for an authentic-looking labris.
Also on Saturday: my new PC arrived! A couple of weeks ago, we had a power outage which fried my old PC (yes, I had it on a surge protector and yes, I now have a new surge protector).
I wanted a small sized PC because my computer desk is in a really small space and the optimal shelf to place the PC on is exactly 11 1/2 inches wide.
Alexx set it up yesterday, but it runs really hot. The top is quite warm right now, and I didn't have it doing any jobs overnight.
A housemate suggested putting it on a stand to increase airflow from beneath and getting a small fan to aim at it.
Do folks have other suggestions? I'm including the PC's details below, in case they turn out to be relevant.
