The Ninth Strange Day

Gizmo’s pawprints on my left shoulder. Done 30 March, 2008, at the Tattoo Museum in Fell’s Point.

See the tattoo happen in less than a minute. (link goes to a worksafe YouTube video.)

She’s quite the attractive chicken, really.

All four shots.

Things you don’t expect to see in Baltimore City, whilst out walking the dog.

1. A chicken.

I went to get the camera. When I came back, a tiny black cat was staring at it with this look on his face like he had found paradise.

I’m at work now. I’ll get the pictures uploaded when I get home.

I’m pretty sure we saw a Fishing Hawk today.

Mim got to see my new computer today. A few hours later she was buying one of her own. Go, Mim!

Anyhow, got the new ‘puter yesterday and set it up. Spent last night and part of today getting things installed and updated and it is NICE. It’s dead quiet, clean, and speedy.

The only thing putting a real downer on this weekend is the fact that I’ve officially put Gizmo on the “Oh, dear, she’s quite old, isn’t she” list.

Order? What order? From where is this order coming?

I bought a Dell. Dell let me customise the computer to suit my particular use, and even let me have Windows XP Pro as my OS. The shipping was free.

I didn’t get a super-big hard drive because I have an external one and I plan on moving the new one from the old computer (although I will likely need help with that. Daffydd?)

16X DVD+/-RW Drive which I totally don’t need, but hey. It was part of the package. Leaving it off wouldn’t have saved me any money.

Difficulty is going to be in getting it. Signature is required.
