Preparing for China
On Saturday I shall be departing for a two-month sojourn to the country of my parents, China. In preparation for this move I have upgraded my laptop hard drive, by 1) dropping my laptop and ruining my hard drive, 2) reformatting my hard drive and creating a backup disk, 3) having my hard drive experience a fatal error, 4) buying a new hard drive, and 5) using my backup disk to reinstall Windows Vista. Sigh, Windows Vista.
As for other forms of preparation, I have read over half of Tolstoy’s famed Anna Karenina, while simultaneously realized that I completely wasted $35 buying the hardcover copy of Jonah Goldberg’s Liberal Fascism - perhaps my literary tastes have changed a little bit. Besides that, I have done completely nothing; there’s still Saturday morning to pack.
