Dear Diary
I am still waiting and waiting for that case worker to call. It's annoying because I can't leave the house during the day while waiting by the phone. All I can do is look out my window and wait for night to fall before I can do things.
One of my waits is over. I bought my daughter a refurbished computer online and it got here within a week! She is very happy. It is a Dell Optiplex 760 Core 2 Duo 2.80GHz- 4GB- HDD 250GB DVD/RW- Windows 7-64bit, and I paid $60 for it. Perfect for a kid, as kids tend to tear thing up and be harsh on them. It was Windows Professional so I had to put the 'games' part on manually, but everything is fine and running. I am putting some anti-virus anti-spyware stuff on it now.
I gave her, her own account on the computer, and password locked an administration account so I control the programs and the content. That way she can't mess it up too badly.
The keyboard and mouse I had laying around didn't work because, Ashley agreed to use her Christmas money to go buy new ones, and I bought her speakers, I also bought her a large oversized stuffed horse, but still, she used her money to buy something for her computer, and I thought that was cool!
I did manage to go by the bank last night and get some money out for the bills this month. Tomorrow night I can go pay some stuff. I wish that lady would call, I hate having my life on hold like this.
The phone rang while I was typing this. I got all excited, but no, it was a reminder that 'Flu season is about, and I can go get me flu shot at---' I don't know where I can get it, I hung up the phone.
I've been watching 'The 100' again.
I caught up with 'Game of Thrones' on CouchTuner EU. It seems to be the only place now that doesn't attack my computer. I tried a couple other places but my computer was attacked on episode 2. I had to manually shut my computer down as it locked my entire computer. I came back on scanned everything. Computer is safe, but it still gets annoying. CouchTuner EU worked great as you watch the stuff at the sight and don't get sent all over to listings that may or may not be what you want to watch.
Movies I watched recently were:
'Brick Mansions' a great action packed movie.
'Invisible Sister' it's cute, one sister makes the other one invisible and has to fix it.
'Exeter' typical teens trapped in asylum movie, has a twist ending that wasn't much of a twist as I already had it figured out. Pretty stupid but entertaining.
'Housebound' another horror movie, but more of a thriller then actual horror. A good watch.
'Gun Hill Road' a drama about family situations. a predictable but acceptable ending.
'Eastern Boys' A French film, but fairly decent as far as French films go. This older man befriends a young Russian Immigrant after the young man and his gang rob the older man.
'We Need to Talk About Kevin' about a kid that attacks kids at his school. Not to bad of a start, but taking down a gym of people with a recurve bow, it made the story completely unbelievable. The kid would have been rushed no matter how fast he strung those arrows on that bow.
'Burying the Ex' A funny movie, a guys obsessive ex girlfriend comes back as a Zombie.
David Bowie died, very sad. I don't think I can remember a time when I didn't listen to his music. As he has been singing my whole life. Just after he released his last album. I normally don't put videos on here, but this David Bowie and this was his last video.
