cimoreneIt's very strange for me when people come over to my place in a potluck situation and bring food, and then leave the rest of it - I have sense enough, and have seen it enough since I moved here, not to make embarrassingly counter-cultural-conditioning protestations about it, but you know that we USians in Potluck Land (at least Midwesterners of Polish-German stock and Southerners) take our own leftovers home in our own dishes, and frequently go away from big feast-type parties with leftovers the host has pressed on us. So it always seems strange to me and I have this niggling worry because I have other people's pots and dishes in my refrigerator (and my draining rack).
I spent the last week mostly planning my Passover party and cleaning things in the house: laundry, tidying, rearranging, making lists... . I think I've done the dishes more times this past week than I've done most months in the dark foggy bits of winter (they're foggy so I can't remember that clearly though). It was nice to temporarily feel like I had a purpose. I feel a little at loose ends now, although I've started thinking about sewing projects and getting a staplegun so I can FINALLY reupholster those blasted kitchen chairs.
There were two days in a row where I didn't turn my computer on at all, because this stupid graphics driver bug requires restarting the whole thing a zillion times every time I start it up, waiting for it to realise and use the correct driver so that I can get an image on the monitor. It used to take three restarts or so, but now it's up to about two hours' worth in all, and it's kind of a drag sitting in front of the computer and finding something to occupy myself with in between constantly pushing the power button. I've found the bug report and all - it's just that I can't really understand it, let alone follow the rather obscure instructions there. This is sometimes the case with Linux things. I've got to either catch Brother Linux with a lot of free time or else buy a graphics card.
