Cold numbers
12 July 2009 22:361. I tried to sell my old iMac PowerPC G4, but was only 30% successful. They were going to give me $150 for it - older model, won't be compatible with latest OS X upgrade - so OK. But then I realized that I hadn't brought the installer disks, and they said that without those, I'd be getting $50. If I back out because the techs check out my Mac and say it's worth even less, I'd end up paying them $60 for the testing. Just keep the damn thing, OK? Although, really, I'm expecting that they'll say it's in excellent shape and give me my fifty bucks. I can't believe that I cannot find those friggin' installer discs. I've saved all sorts of computer software discs for stuff that I don't even own anymore. No installer discs for that computer. Bah.
2. I tried to see some books, and I was 50% successful. It was a funky place called Casablance, and they take more esoteric, non-fiction works. They took roughly half my books. Some of them they refused I could understand because they were exegetical works of particular books of the Christian Bible and of minor interest to the layperson, or books on politics or reference works that were heavily US centric. Not a problem. They're going in the trash when we get our dumpster. I'll take pictures. Getting a dumpster is going to be one of the happiest occurrences in my sad, sorry life. I shall burn a veritable path between the house and it as I blithely throw purty much anything into it that ain't chained down. I am so very, very happy.
3. I do love True Blood. Bill: "But that's insane!" Eric: "That's Texas." Jessica: "I hope you don't mind. I ordered room service." Bellboy: "One male, O negative." Jessica: squeee!
