Last night it was phase one of Fixing Laptops Time.

"Colby, read me that registration number?"
"X295SDY46..."
"Ugh. Do it in phonetics."
"Xray two niner five sierra delta yankee four six..."
"Oh, better, thank you."

Tonight is Phase Two: Now With More Blank CDs And A Poptart Too! I can hardly wait, and I mean that the way I mean I can hardly wait to whack my head against a wall.

Yesterday - or maybe the day before? - I saw something tiny dart across the floor. It was a baby gecko, at most as long as my pinky finger. I have a Recurring Baby House Gecko Bogey and get one the same size every year. Last year's gecko was on the counter next to the stove. I did the only thing I could do, of course - dropped to the ground, caught the baby, and put her back outside.
anole pants

Green anole, this, not a brown one -- native species, and a bit rare here since the invasive brown anoles are somewhat more successful. Gorgeous though, isn't it? I never get to see these guys, and it's such a treat. They don't mind people at all, either; I was about four feet away from this one. Lovely little things. (And now I'm channeling Steve-O, because I get excited over lizards.)

That's the second green anole I've seen around my house in the past week. Couple of geckos, too. Wonder what that's about.
