Maps are for circles...I mean squares lol.
No but in all seriousness, I will tell you that I was always directionally....aloof. that is my nature but, I do like keys on maps. I think keys are fun because I like to know specific things about maps if I read them. But as far as routes and highways and all of that fun stuff Imma say no. no soup for you map.

Well the good news is I think I isolated the cause of my computer problems somewhat. The bad news is there's nothing I can do about it except take it to a shop. The other good news is that my computer is mostly useable, I just have to treat it like a desktop instead of a laptop. On the bright side, at least I still have a computer. I wouldn't be showing my green and rugged avatar around here without one (well I don't show a smiling face around here, just pretty pictures of outdoor things).

Someone mention computer problems? What's wrong cinder? If you have to take it to the shop it must be a hardware problem - anyone can reinstall an OS to solve a software problem.
Sorry... my ears perk up and swivel around like a radar dish when someone mentions computer problems. I'll hush now.

In other news, when you get a tray of sushi it comes with a little lump of green putty - that's wasabi, very hot - and a small mound of something that looks like shredded ham - that's ginger, mildly spicy. I saved that from my meal yesterday because I wanted the taste of sushi, not the taste of spicy. So this morning for breakfast I had a sandwich with black forest ham, mayo, ginger and wasabi on whole wheat bread. This is strange because I don't like hot stuff like peppers. I'm allergic to pain. But wasabi and ginger is a different kind of hot, and I don't mind it. Very good breakfast.
On a related note, my nose is no longer stopped up. Nope, not a bit.

My old 2008 macbook won't recognize its battery. This is a new issue and as I just replaced the battery last year, I don't think it is because the battery has gone bad or anything like that.
So computer won't run from battery, if I run it plugged in but with the battery still installed then it spontaneously shuts itself off 10 or 15 minutes after I turn it on even if I'm using it at the time. If the battery is taken out it seems to work pretty normally. Even when the power cord indicates the battery is charging, it doesn't seem to be charging. Reset the SMC and PRAM multiple times. Found a way to bypass the SMC when I started up the computer and then it stayed on for a while with the battery installed, but still won't charge the battery that way.
My conclusion is that the SMC is having problems with regulating or recognizing the battery. Makes it a pain if I want to travel with the computer, but not much of an issue if I'm just going to let the computer sit on my desk and use it plugged in. I don't have the small screwdrivers and stuff that I'd need to take it apart and try more stuff so I'll either have to take it into the shop that comes well recommend on the expat reviews site or just make due the best I can until I return home in September. Since it is old and I don't know what I'm doing once I get home, it doesn't make much sense to sink a lot of money into it at this point.

Yup. It's official. I killed the rabbit.
Or at least, took away his dinner.
For the third day, that rabbit has gone past my back porch, stretched, and taken several seconds to glance through my sliding glass doors at the yummy, billowing plant that used to sit outside. He looks like he knows exactly what he's doing. And he looks hungry. He stopped and took some nibbles of a plant that's part of the landscaping but I guess they must have have been as tasty.
I kinda feel sorry for the little guy--makes me want to hang a few leaves outside or something.

It's like the Garden of Eden, Zero. He has plenty of others to choose from--he doesn't need my one plant!! 
And it's mine. All mine. I'm holding on to it because like I said, out of about 15, it was the only one to survive. I brought him inside because some of the cold weather had frostbitten an entire section that I had to prune off and I'm trying to preserve him until spring. He is my leafy crown and glory right now! Sadly, in some ways he's like a companion as well.
I've had him since I got here and we've both weathered a lot of storms.
And apparently, hungry rabbits.
