You will automatically restart in 14:00 minutes

Thanks to Cuteoverload, I am informed of the fact that today is Squirrel Appreciation Day. This makes me feel better.

I'm forcing myself to be in a better mood today. The fact that my computer keeps trying to restart for updates isn't helping.

Things that are helping me feel better this morning:
*Coffee
*Snuggly kitty (whom I suspect merely wants the leftover yogurt in my breakfast bowl)
*Yogurt I made myself (mmmmmmmmm)
*A good* book (The Windup Girl, Paolo Bacigalupi's debut novel)
*It's Saturday

Okay, yeah, she just wanted the yogurt.

No matter. Better mood. Onward. And fine, fine, I'm restarting the damn computer. Geez.

*But kind of depressing

Have you seen the drunk squirrel video?

Oh poor squirrel!

1. Can you imagine how scared he must've been at first? Once he started running in circles, though, he seemed to have fallen into the spirit of things.

2. This needs to be an ad for why you shouldn't drive drunk.

That book was the topic of a recent Review of the Day on Powell's newsletter. It sounds very interesting.

It was very good. My favorite of the 2009 novels so far.

Glad to hear you're feeling better a little.

Better mood? Don't know if this will do it for you, but it gave me a little hitch to my breathing, and then I said, "Oh."

I fell asleep with my computer on and it downloaded literally DOZENS of updates while I slept, then it restarted itself. That was Friday night. I may leave it on all night on purpose sometimes just to let it take care of its business during a time when it will not annoy me!

That's a very good idea! I might do that on Friday night so I don't have to deal with updates on Saturday mornings.

Did you use the new yogurt maker?

I did! I did! I love it so much! I didn't get the one you recommended, but I'm very happy with mine. It's so good.

Hmm I appreciate them.
I want to build a squirrel flinger to appreciate them more.
