mm. So this has definitely been spring cleaning in a computer-sense. I've gone from using roughly 97% of my total hard-drive capacity to using just 69%, I've cleared up a hell of a lot of old, unused, ~10MB-type programs, I've resorted my [start]-menu hierarchy, I've streamlined my quicklaunch [net change of -4, to a total of 20 icons], and I've remapped my virtual memory-- I had a 1.75GB swap file on my smaller [master] drive, for some reason, so I purged that and assigned a 2.5GB swap file on my larger [slave] drive. And of course, I also did msconfig-meddling to carve out any autolaunch leech-things that apps like Quicktime had installed over the past couple of months since last I smoked them out of their tickybox homes.

[stuff];

I have the curious feeling that I'm supposed to be somewhere, doing something-or-other. But I'm plagued, so I guess that even if there is something I'm forgetting about, I probably wouldn't have gone to it, anyway.

I actually feel a lot like going to see a movie, but I doubt there's anything worthwhile out right now, and I've plenty of unwatched//unread//unlistened-to media within easy reach, anyway.

Point of curiosity: Are you so plagued that you have to forgo rehearsal tomorrow? :/

Feel better, mmkay?

Fact: All Choirkids have carefully-designed lungs that act as special catcher-nets which filter all the pathogens out of the air and inject them directly into the bloodstream, aiding in the proliferation of the Plague du Jour.

I plan on going, but I'll probably sit way in the back and not sing and just pencil stuff in my score and allsuch.

I mean, I really don't feel sick, but I know that I obviously am, and that it's not even very well-established what I have (in-so-far as knowing how virulent and/or dangerous to others it is), so although I'm sure I'd feel fine if I just rehearsed like normal, I figure that with all the wide-mouthed communal huffings and puffings going on, I should just hang back and keep my mouth shut.

I might go to see 'Match Point' tomorrow, unless it's so nice a day that I end up reading outside somewhere for the entire time...dear me, that sounds inviting...

Oh yeah, and get well soon! (Darn breaks-from-computer during which you forget how you were going to finish the message and so post it immediately upon returning and then see it and feel stupid.)
