Why Me Lord
May. 10th, 2013 10:13 pmSometimes it's the littlest things that make me happy. I've been looking at/pricing new monitors for a few weeks. I don't exactly need one, but I just want one. I found plenty in the $100 or so range, which was the price I'd set for such an expenditure. So, last night, after work and some errands, I found myself digging through a closet, looking for an old portable file folder box. Found it - and found an old CRT monitor. Old as in probably last fired up in 2005, and probably purchased in 2001 or 2002. What the heck, I figure, and plug it in. Powers right up. While running some more errands before a movie today, I picked up a Mini DVI-to-VGA adapter, and now I have a small secondary screen! Yes, I know I could just use Spaces and have effectively the same thing, but this is works, and I'm pleased with it.
The movie? Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby. Enjoyed the heck out of it. I love the novel, and Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet is just a joy to me, so I had pretty high hopes. I was not disappointed at all.
