Late-night superheroics take their toll on you. I slept in again this morning. This was a hardly a bad thing as I: a) needed the rest and b) am trying to kick the last bit of this head cold (i.e.: lots of congestion in my sinuses). came over to put her new carpet steamer to work in a couple of rooms.

We had lunch at Jitterbug Coffee Hop (1855 South 700 East). One of the things that I like about Bruce is that he remembers (semi-)regular customers. So much so that we didn’t even have to tell him what we wanted to eat – he only had to ask what kinds of cheese we wanted on our sandwiches. And, for the record: The sandwiches there are massive. If you’re in that part of town and looking for a good cup of caffeinated goodness and/or a bite to eat, drop in and say “Hi” to Bruce – tell him that Robert sent you!

From there, it was off to take to her nail appointment. While she was there, I absconded to Dr. Volt’s for my weekly fix of paper crack. And, yes, a few pieces of plastic crack, too. Back to the salon and then off in search of adventure. Or something that nominally approximated it. We wound up at CompUSAirways. I picked up a simple (basic, no bells-and-whistles) mid-tower case for $19.99! What a bargain! What a bargain for me! This will be the new home of my secondary rig… which would have been finished last night, if the hard drive hadn’t been giving me fits. From CompUSA to Best Buy. Grabbed a stick of memory for DS9 (I’m getting tired of the lag when I zone in CoH/CoV…), a new drive and a copy of Ultimate Avengers.

We considered seeing a movie, but missed the 7:30-ish showings. *shrug* So, we headed to ‘s to watch North Country. Very good movie. Good script, good direction and good acting. After the movie, I planned to catch the new ep of JLU – featuring the Legion! Unfortunately, Comcast didn’t think that I should watch it. So I didn’t. *rails at the Fates*

There was a small group at breakfast, but was there; I haven’t seen her in a while. There was some decent people-watching material, for an added bonus. Gabbing, gossip and food. And then it was time to call it a night.

Namaste.
