A maybe rainy Tuesday morning randomocity

So, this is the second and last day of my mini-vacation. As the title suggests, it's probably going to be stormy, though not as bad as it was last week. Hopefully.

I bought a new desktop PC yesterday, complete with Windows 8. I'm still on the fence about the new version of Windows, but the fact that I don't hate it yet is probably a good sign. It definitely takes some getting used to. My computer has a touch screen, too, and I dig that, integrating that with a keyboard and mouse--if you try that yourself you'll see what I mean. Sometimes it's easier just to touch the screen and drag stuff around than it is to roll a mouse to an icon, or use the keyboard. And vice versa.

Plus, it's an all-in-one. Since I don't have that tower I've got a bit more room, so I went with a bigger screen. I mean, this thing is huge, compared with the tiny one my old system had. Opening a screenplay or a Word document on it is a bit intimidating--my words are enormous! I don't know why that sort of scares me, since, even though they are bigger, nobody is seeing them but me for now.

I'm going to work some more on The Sorcerer's Daughter, and on rewriting a script that I think is nearly finished. And I'm going to watch The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and Les Miserables on BluRay, too--missed both of those in the theater.

All-in-all, not a bad way to spend a day, I think.
