Laptop
posted by Jen | 4:11 PM
I ordered a laptop today! It's refurbished, but it's also pretty loaded. $899 for a 1.8 GHz with 512 M RAM. CD RW / DVD combo drive, wireless networking, 15" screen, 6.5 lb. I'm supposed to get it October 5 - just a few days early for my birthday.
Yesterday's post broke a record - 4 comments for a single post. I'm glad to see that spaceflight is worth talking about, even if just among us space nerds at NASA. How come nobody ever comments when my posts are about where I walked with the dogs last night? :)
Next Tuesday is my orbit FDO cert qual sim. This is the really tough sim that they give you right before they're ready to finish certifying you "to find any rough areas". People have been coming by my desk to smile smuggly at me and give me sage advice like "study hard". So much for sleeping for the next 4 days.
The Astros swept the Cardinals this week and are actually drawing me back into interest in baseball - that and Ichiro's potential breaking of the single season hits record. It's pretty cool to be involved in a close run for the playoffs again, but nothing will ever beat Seattle 1995. So far, I haven't seen anybody jump of the back of a sofa and almost land on another person after the game-winning hit. Nothing will ever beat that.

When I was in 5th grade and the Hornets were brand new to Charlotte, I was cheering for them one night during a particularly exciting game. I had a blanket in my hand and was flailing excitedly and somehow managed to snag the knitted blanket on my braces, which yanked one of the brackets off my tooth. And I was leaving town the next day, so we had to call the orthodontist to his office at 10:30 at night to fix my braces.
That's at least as good as jupming off the back of a sofa. Pish posh.
