I braved the outside world yesterday. Ugh. I hate going out this time of year. So many rookies and idiots who are normally not out. I went out about 9ish because I needed a new hard drive and kitty litter. Yes, needed. Yesterday I was looking at one of the TV shows I have and I was thinking I know I have two more seasons of this show. So I pulled out my small portable drive (500gb) that I take with me on the road. Yep, there were the two missing seasons. AND 173 other movies I hadn't copied over because I didn't have the room. Dammit. Okay, time to cave in and buy a new drive. I had been procrastinating the kitty litter because I knew the cat could go a couple more days but now I had more of a reason. I was down to almost nothing on the one drive and this played my hand and sent me out into the world. I got a new 3TB for $120. Ridiculous. I am still moving things to it of course. Things like this don't happen instantly. Plus I am finding some of the files I have ripped are corrupt and will need to be done over. No big deal more just annoyance than anything else. I now have six terabytes on one machine. Insanity. I know for some that's nothing but the thought of having that much drive space 10 or 15 years ago would have been unheard of.

Got the drive and kitty litter and came back home. Hung out around the house for the rest of the day unti it was time to meet my director. She wanted to go over the NYE show and since she was going to be in the neighborhood I agreed to meet her at 6. We had a nice chat. It wasn't horrible or anything crazy. I got back home around 7. The kid had to work from 10-4am so I decided to go with her to the mall and see if there were any last minute presents. Ended up getting us both new sweaters for $15 each and a sweatshirt for her. Nothing crazy but it added to the pile. She went to work at ten and I walked home. That was actually nice. Being out at night alone. I got home around 10:30 and stayed up until about 12 copying more files.

All in all a pretty decent day. Social contact, outside, people drove me nuts, but whatever. Today I am going to work so I can have w-f off without guilt.
