Why, oh, why am I not at Wiscon?

I've been screwing around all morning. I was going to blow off the porch and send all of the tree seeds back to somebody else's yard, but that would entail finding a face mask or doing massive amounts of drugs. Instead, I dragged the stylish Miele vacuum cleaner with the HEPA filter on it out and vacuumed them up. I then tossed the vacuum bag into the garbage.

I've been waiting for my sister and cousin to call. They're driving into the city from Fargo today. I blew off going to my aunt's because we're going to be there this afternoon. Sometime, I've got to cancel one of the restaurant reservations I made for tonight.

My cousin's father called from Bismarck. His daughter is usually up around 4 or 5 in the morning, and he thought that they'd be here long ago. My sister is sometimes up by 10. I didn't expect them early unless she slept in the car.

I was highly tempted to pop for a new motherboard, cpu, memory and DVD burner yesterday. If it would have made it here this weekend, I probably would have. Fortunately, something stopped me.

For anyone who has not read or seen enough about The Matrix and philosophy, there's an article in today's NY Times. Article. There's also dirt out about how much the Wachowski Brothers got paid. Apparently one of them is in divorce court. Article.
