camwynI know it is a very silly thing, and I know that for other people such things come amazingly easily, but I could not help but feel a small surge of pride when I came into the office this morning, fired up the Routing & Remote Access console on our VPN server, and saw that not one but two of the people from this office were connected remotely.
I got it to work. Yay me!
... anyway. Must get to Fordham's Manhattan bookstore today and buy my mother a buttload of thesis paper, because Mom defended her doctoral thesis successfully on Wednesday and I am now the daughter of a Ph.D.- one who has to print up two copies of her thesis on official Fordham paper, but still a Ph.D. I also have to buy a hundred dollar savings bond as a gift for my nephew, who's being christened on Sunday, and I have to go back to NJ and find a parking space for my car (I was too nervous about the space I chose yesterday to trust it and have left it in the care of an all-day parking lot instead). Tonight, though,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mephron and I will be going to see Kung Fu Hustle, so that's good. It's been a while since I had a hit of the pure unadulterated sparkly pink fruit flavoured monkey crack that is Stephen Chiau.
Saturday would be slated for a 'wake me up on Judgment Day' class of sleep, but the building's monthly visit from the exterminator is Saturday, so it's more 'wake me up on the Day of the Book of Joel'. The day's largely free otherwise. I expect I'll finally get to plant my basil seeds and then do much laundry, possibly get out and go skating or something like that. Might not be a bad idea to bring my skates into Manhattan on Saturday and practice the Central Park loop before the Empire Skate Club runs start...

Date: 2005-04-22 12:40 pm (UTC)And, I LOVED 'Kung Fu Hustle'!!! In Jinan, would you believe, they have it playing on HUGE screens in the underground shopping areas under the street crossings and under the main square of the city, and people stop in little knots to watch the best scenes and move on when they get to the 'plot forward' bits, rather like everyone in Italian move houses whispering to each other and then going 'zitta, zitta' when the music gets to the arias...
Enjoy.
