in absentia

Been hard to get a chance lately to collect my thoughts, let alone write them down, mostly due to the fact that I have been laptop-less for going on 6 weeks. That and when I do get a chance to do anything I feel obligated to write reviews for the DVD site I get free Blu-Rays from. (Tip of the hat goes to Eyecravedvd.com.)
I am currently plugging away right now on a loaner machine that I have to give back tomorrow so I am trying to get as much done tonight as I can. But no more reviews tonight. Three in a week is my limit.
I am desperately awaiting the arrival of not one, but two laptops, as HP is finally (fucking finally!) going to replace the one that I have had to send back twice to them for motherboard failures. And I am also eagerly awaiting my new eee pc, so that I have something to always take with me and a backup in case my new HP turns out to be as reliable as the last one.
Listening to the free instrumental album off the new Nine Inch Nails release, Ghosts and its really good. And free, as in the band is offering it for download and has upped it to every torrent site in the cloud at no cost in the hopes that downloaders might then buy the whole 4 album package. Which I won't be, thanks. Although I might just download the whole thing for nothing (snicker).
Been working on my resume tonight too. Unfortunately for me, there are some postings at my job for the job I currently have to make it a full time gig. Bummer for me because I like working on contract; better money. And now I have to compete for a job I currently have, and might lose, which is teh sucks. But such is life.
And now that I take the time to update the blog, I find I have relatively little else to say. An old friend of mine recently was written up in an article for a St. Catharines newspaper and it is worth a read. He is a motivational speaker, and aside from being a bit of a religious nutter, he is one of the coolest guys I have ever met. Awesome attitude, and I was really happy for him when I came across the article. One of these guys that, were he to be handed lemons by life, would likely build a lemonade stand and donate the whole thing to a passing homeless guy.
