Lesson of the day:

When your stereo cassette adapter gets stuck in your cassette player in your car and you suspect it's draining power from the batteries, try to get it out. Otherwise, your car battery goes kaput and you have to push it around by yourself. Neutral helps but you're still moving more than a ton of metal by yourself. Not fun.

In other news, cleaning is always good. Cleaning in all senses. Cleaning up the room, organizing the fridge, laundry, and even cleaning up the ol' pooter. The Inspiron 4000 is long overdue for a windows reinstall. Yeah, I'm going to install XP on it (since otherwise UCSB Resnet will try to have hissy fits). But other than that, not much else. The Inspiron is quickly turning into my media 'pooter. Downloading anime, software, and music on that machine, and it's used to run divx video files to my TV (well, it used to, before the TV-out broke...time to send it in again...). Still, in this age of net connections, it's useful to have an always-on machine doing the long-term tasks.

And since my car's kaput and it's raining outside, I have no incentive/energy to walk to school and work at the library. So cleaning the house it is. I better get the car jump started sometime soon though seeing as how I need to get to a UCSB Symphony concert.
