hot!! hot!!

this computer is hot-hot. well, not like it will actually sear [sere?] your skin, but quite warm. warmer than my usual machine. b/c mini-me is here, we have 3 working laptops. a top on every lap! it's weird to use a diff machine b/c the keys are all in diff places. we also have a working desktop and 3 partially working laptops. a plethora of computers. one of the partially working ones has no battery. it will work if plugged in, so it is basically stationary. plus, that one has some serious windows issues & needs to be reformatted, and windows or ubuntu installed. the other two have batteries, but both are running win95, so they need updates at the least & new o-s's at the most. they could probably be working, and it might be worth messing with after mini-me leaves & takes her 2 working laptops w/ her.

been looking for a simple, elementary school, student xylophone. do they not play xylophone in elementary school anymore? if they do, where do they get them? i can find silly ones for like $20, and that seems a lot to pay for ones that seem silly and are made of wood. i want a metal one, but not a huge one. there's a big gap between the little silly ones & the ones for marching bands. those run about... oh... $1500 or so. that's right - a xylophone for $1500. cripes! where are the in-between models?

tomorrow, have to go to work. ::sigh:: should be okay.... i mean, should not be too busy or anything. it's just that vacation is so nice, don't you think?
