One of the many terrific things about the iMac is its screen size.  It's the perfect size to have word processor window and browser windows open side-by-side, both at a readable/workable size.

I do have one small gripe.  The mouse's connector cable is a little short.  I'm going to pick up a wireless mouse soon to alleviate this.

I haven't yet activated the 30-day trial of iWork.  Once I get the Flags assignment off my desk, I'm going to take a look at Pages and see how it functions as a desktop publishing application.

Speaking of, I'm making too-slow (but fairly steady) progress on Flags.  The introduction's complete (I cry your pardon, dear readers, as it is in fact Game Fiction), and most of the other sections are at least half-completed.  I expect to complete the alternate versions section tonight.

Back at UK, I was the only person in the particular circle of people I hung out with who wasn't a fan of The Professional.  For whatever reason, I just didn't like it at all.  So, a few days ago, I watched it again, just to see if I'd seen it on a bad day or something.  I guess I had, because I really dig on this movie now.

Honestly? I loved UK. Terrific faculty and facilities. Active on-campus social life, the campus is very close to Lexington's downtown, and there is a lot of affordable near-campus housing.

Dislikes - the constant construction or renovation, and that was really little more than an inconvenience. The SGA is a punchline, of course, and really doesn't do anything good or bad. Ridiculous fanaticism for the sports program, but that's actually easy enough to ignore.

There's a good-sized grocery store about four blocks from the northeast corner of campus - I stop by there on my drive home from work once or twice a week to pick up the evening's dinner. There are scads of student-oriented stores and restaurants on the edge of campus, and the city's bus routes run through if you need to roam further out.
