• 09:13 Do I feel like risking my USB drive to see if NAV still thinks portableapps.exe is a trojan? 🙁 #
• 09:18 Forgot I had a backup portableapps drive and tested that–so far, so good!! #
• 09:27 Hallelujah! portableapps.exe NOT zapped by NAV! Feels like having a severed limb reattached! #

• 10:53 Massively overslept. Maybe it’s the price I pay for *not* being hungover!! 🙂 #
• 10:55 Hrm–none of my goodreads updates updated here, why? 🙁 #
• 12:02 Brunch at the diner, where apparently people in this day & age still wear those tinted shades that clip onto eyeglasses and flip up! #

• 14:01 Maybe I just didn’t have enuff coffee; just can’t get my game on today. Maybe catching up on some podcasts will inspire me. #
