(no subject)

I'm feeling pretty good about myself. I fixed my computer yesterday nearly all by myself. Ben mostly sat on the side and offered advice when I asked for it.

I took the old hard drive out, put the new one in, and reinstalled ubuntu. I upgraded all the way up to the latest version which finally fixed a display issue I was having with the monitor. Yay!

Then I made wheat bread, curry, and curry pan. I was quite productive! I didn't make waffles though because I ran out of eggs and flour on the curry pan. Oh well. I have cereal to last be some time until I stock up on more.

Book - The Tin Woodman of Oz

In this story we learn that the Tinman is a massive jerk. He just happens to remember one day that right before he rusted, he was going to marry a young woman. And he simply forgets that!? Anyway, he decides that the woman must still be waiting for him, so he goes off to find her and marry her even though he doesn't love her anymore.

World's biggest jerk.

Although this Oz book felt more like Oz than a lot of recent ones, I could not get over what a jerk the Tinman was. It consumed me. And I don't think I'll ever be able to look at him the same way again. Because he's such a jerk!

I start The Magic of Oz next.
