RIP Elisabeth Sladen

http://www.doctorwhonews.net/2011/04/dwn190411204508-elisabeth-sladen-1948.html Right now I am incredibly sad and at a loss for words. Sarah Jane was my favorite Doctor Who companion, and I absolutely adored The Sarah Jane Adventures . I can't believe she is really gone. I will probably be writing up a tribute of my own within the next couple of days, but for now... Farewell, Sarah Jane Smith. Rest in peace, Elisabeth Sladen.

Relay and Obi-Wan....

Howdy folks! I am writing this post from my "new" (as in, refurbished), computer, Obi-Wan! Yes, after many years, I finally got a new computer. Yoda has been good to me-he has lasted much longer than any normal computer would (in fact, he still is running, and can even get on the net, as I still am currently using dial up). He was my first computer when I started college-and although he has had a 'few' upgrades, he essentially remained the same in spirit. ;) There have been a few hiccups, and I am sure there will be many more. But it was time-Yoda could only handle Win98, and I really needed a computer that, at the very least, could handle XP. Even though Windows 7 is now the newest, greatest thing, I currently have XP running on this computer. Now I just need to find something faster than dial up. Rather than just getting high speed internet, I'm considering bundling some services, of which would mean I have to switch to digital phone, and switch my cable. (that

Lots and Lots of Walking...and Other Projects

February breakdown: 02/01-02/05: 1.5 miles 02/06-02/12: 3 miles 02/13-02/19: 15.1 miles 02/20-02-26: 12 miles Total: 31.6 miles Actually, if it wasn’t for the fact that I was checking in on my friends’ cats, I might not have even walked that much! So much snow... (not that I’m complaining about snow in February. LOL) The 25th was an interesting day-I was watching the school closings to see if the Cleveland Hts/University Hts school district would be closed (the bus tends to be early when there are no kids), and I never saw Case in the listings. While on the bus, I decided to check Facebook, just for kicks-when I found out that the University had closed!!! Got into the library, turned right around and went home (special thanks to Robin-she gave me a lift so I wouldn’t have to wait for a bus. She is an excellent snow driver!) Snow days are much more e
