Windows Updates . . . and Veronica Mars

Hi ho, MMMLogerinos!

The DingdongDell was acting up and I'd called the guy who does Windows. By the time he got here on Monday, Word was opening and saving as it should. He said that he'd seen that strange problem before during the last week and thought it had to do with Windows updating. I had just downloaded a huge patch or something. He also said that there are always glitches that we aren't even told about and fixes for them that are sent to us. And fixes for fixes. Ain't it swell, though. In any case, he praised me up for my puter hygiene--I keep everything squeaky clean, deleting files regularly and defragging.

A marine layer is hovering over Seattle (my part) this morning. It will burn off about noon, I expect. It did yesterday and the temperature zoomed to the 70s, which is welcome but weird. The DH had dethatched and reseeded the lawn. Now without rain we have to water it.

There are just two episodes left this season of Veronica Mars. My gosh, there are lots of grimy characters that need offing or a severe comeuppance at the very least. I don't think there's any social issue the show hasn't dealt with this year. Last night's "exposure" of Veronica's recent doctor's visit was a shocker. Then she lied to poor ole Keith again. Oh. My. But who wouldn't lie to their parent about something like that as long as it was secretly treatable and something important wouldn't fall off and surely be noticed, not to mention missed. As I said before, I can just see those VM writers sitting around wondering how to up the outrageous shock factor of the show. Wow.

Ciao, ciao, MMMMMMMMMMMelinda, off to water the lawn.
