not falling down

The parts are trickling in: my Ballistix RAM showed up Saturday, and my Lian-Li case arrived this afternoon. It’s all aluminum, so it’s surprisingly light for its size (well, and it’s empty). It’s also beautiful, the way babies are beautiful; I want to coo over it, and tell it fairy tales, and rock it gently to sleep.

I’ll try to remember to post a camshot tomorrow. I’ll try not to be licking anything.

Update 8.31.2004 0834 hrs: I only just realized that me referring to the case as a baby and then talking about licking it is kind of disturbing.

I love the second picture (scroll down) in this Seattle Times article about Penny Arcade and PAX. Like that’s exactly how Tycho and Gabe make the comic: sitting at a clean white table, writer leaning over the artist’s shoulder, staring boldly into the future and posed more stiffly than dead mannequins.
