Dad gum it!
Had most of an update done this morning... then got a pop-up window from virus-checker software saying that it had updated and needed to restart. I hit the "X" at the upper right corner of the window, that usually closes a window without action, right? Well apparently not in this case, it was the same as hitting "OK", because it restarted my computer anyways. Fuckers!
Anyways, I'm now at work and I want to get this down first before any stupid "Work" stuff. Speaking of which, today is my last day for more than 2 weeks, because of "Shutdown" (I still have to put vacation towards it, though, which sorta sucks -- means every year I have 2 weeks of vacation that I can't CHOOSE when I want to take it).
Been noticing weird urges and desires lately... things I used to not like I'm taking interest in now. I'm itching to go snowboarding again already. I'm thinking about going hunting again (I quit over ten years ago after actually killing something). I'm finding the idea of modding and detailing my car interesting. I'm thinking it would be neat to learn to play hockey. Shit like that. I just noticed they are all "manly" things... maybe I'm having a sexuality crisis? I dunno. Fortunately, except snowboarding, they are not really the sort of thing I could just pick up on a whim, so I hope I am safe for now.
Yesterday I had a band practice (we re-arranged the newest song, I think it's more interesting and sounds better now) and got my Vibe back (and returned the rental). The Vibe is SO much better to drive than it ever has been, since I've had it! (And it had better be, after spending close to $1500 plus the $250 the rental cost me.) I'm thinking more and more that the previous owner treated it pretty badly during the only 7000kms they put on in 2 years... like maybe all they did was work on it themselves (without really knowing what they were doing) and street race it, or something. The marvel of used cars.
