geek trade

Okay. We have this big pile of computer stuff that I cleared out while I was setting up my home office.

None of it is stellar. Some keyboards, a monitor, a couple of computers. Also, an RCN modem that they forgot to ask for back when we switched out.

The computers have data of mine on them. I'm not sure whether they still work, but I'd love to get the data.

I'd love to trade all these bits and pieces for a few hours of someone's time to get the data off.

Anyone interested? Or willing to do it for favors of another sort? (Energywork, homecoked food?)

lunch!

So, recently I have been trying to improve the quality of my lunches.

I like to eat lunch, but I don't always plan ahead. So then I wind up eating whatever happens to be in the house. And sometimes that's great, and other times, it's... not very satisfying.

So this week, I've been trying harder. For a few days, I had chicken with roasted red pepper cream sauce and pasta. Then I had the same chicken, only with potatos and greens. Today was good, too - the leftover potatos with curry, cheese, and kale.

I really liked how the kale came out so I thought I'd share the recipe.

moment of silliness

I thought I could move my new bookcase by myself.
Instead, it is now wedged in place, halfway down the stairs.

I sure hope the boy can fix it. 'Cause otherwise it's going to make traveling between the floors of the apartment somewhat inconvenient.
