it's definitely turning out to be much too time-consuming to update this thing when i'm at home
gah...this computer definitely thinks that it's 3:20 pm on Monday, September 20th.
ok...fixed the time...no more "you're entry is backdated so lj is going to proceed to EAT IT instead of letting you go back and fix it."
and yet another adventure with floppy disks. because this time i wanted to post the rundown of all the books that i read this summer. the unfortunate thing was that again it was on my own computer. so recognizing the problems that i had yesterday (though you dont really know the extent of the problems because of the aforementioned eating of the lj entry). basically i had to keep going up to the second floor from the basement because the computers wouldnt read off the same floppy disk or the file kept getting cut off or what have you.
so i thought that i had learned from yesterday and took the fairly large "book review" word document and cut it up into four smaller .txt files. well then i got downstairs and apparently they weren't small enough. so i go back upstairs and cut it down even more, just making a new text file for each book and then i tried to open the original files on the first floppy to see which computer was fucking up but of course my computer wouldnt recognize the floppy disk anymore...
so here's the book review, hopefully in it's entirety because i'm not checking again to see if the text files got cut off...
ok nevermind...scratch there...here's where the lj-cut entitled "summer reading" should have been. but when i tried to open the text files they were still cut off or nonexistant!!!! so i give up. i need to use deirdre's computer some time so i can burn a cd of pictures that wouldnt download off my own cd so i'll probably update the book review on her computer.
so i guess i'll babble on with the next entry that i was going to make.
so it's nice to be home in the land of milk and honey. i mean free laundry and food and stuff. though the land of the 56k sucks big time. and this computer is being a pain in the butt. it must have a virus. but i've found that i can just ignore the error message that causes the computer to shut down. then i end up with frozen internet explorer windows and i can't get to the desktop, but i can run things from the start menu cuz i'm that sophisticated.
so i went to church today and i'm just going to make a long-ass whiny post short because i'm all disgruntled about the computer being stupid. basically i just feel so uncomfortable at church. i still havent decided what i believe in. and i feel like if i just go ahead and believe in God then i'm selling out or something...because i wouldnt be really thinking about it. because when i do think about it i can't find any proof or any real reason to believe. or maybe it's just the organized religion part that gets on my nerves...or that thing about preaching and trying to save people, it just sounds very selfish to me. i might have a better rant later. i think i'll type something up upstairs and update on deirdre's computer.
