my apologies for being a bad lj friend

(  It just hasn't been my week so far (whining) )

My shipment from Tropical Foods arrived today and I can't say that I'm entirely happy. The mangoes are delicious - very sweet and the pineapple and papaya look and smell good too, but what am I supposed to do with 3 lbs of guavas? I'm not even sure how they are eaten! Same goes for the pomello. Juice it, maybe? And, what really ticked me off that instead of the avacodos I ordered, they simple sent me more mixed fruit. Without asking me about it. So far, Orkos seems like the better choice of the two. Better selection, better customer service, and lower shipping costs.

I also found a nice gadget that solves a computer problem of mine. Leland IV's predecessor died a mysterious and sudden death that didn't allow me to safe any data on it. Now I found a device that lets you connect a laptop hd to an usb port. I only hope that the old hd is still intact. There are quite a lot of writings and bookmarks that I would like to transfer.

I definitely over-exerted myself last week. I'm feeling restless like I rarely do these days and when I do, it's usually because I did too much over a period of several days. I did write about 5000 words per day the last four days, just to finish my latest story before the deadline. I have a few more stories in my head, some already sketched out, but after over a month of sustained heavy-duty writing, I think I should let things rest for a few days at least. Maybe finally watch the DW episodes I haven't seen yet. I still haven't seen the last four episodes of series three (of the new series) and there are still quite a few episodes from the first and second doctor I haven't seen yet.

After a hard week, I decided to splurge at orkos and ordered some of my favourite fruit, including pitayas and medjool dates. These particular dates are actually cheaper than at the health food store in town. However you can only buy them by the kilo from Orkos. Still, they keep for quite a while in the fridge and I just love them as a sweet snack :-)
