Back to work after a week off--color me cranky.

It hasn't been all bad. The tax refund arrived late last week, a fact I didn't discover until Monday. That being the case, I went ahead and preordered Tiger. I swear I've done more updating of Mac OS X in the past few months than I did of Win 95/98 in all my years of PC ownership.

I am debating the purchase of an iPod Mini. I am already an iTunes semi-junkie, so I may as well take that last fatal step, shouldn't I?

In J5 land, another puzzling bit worked itself out. It involved the justification of a rift between Jani and one of the main characters. Started last night with a single line of dialogue that just kinda yorked out onto the screen, and developed nicely during the 500+ words I knocked off during lunch. It's nice when things like this happen. Unless I'm sure my characters are emotionally justified in doing what I set them up to do, I run into roadblocks and it all just trundles to a halt. If I can get them to buy into it, it all sort of works itself out.

Whats nice about this is that it really isn't a surprise. Two strong personalities reverting to default mode under extreme stress. It happens.
