Almost, but not quite

Dec 20, 2004 19:27

I almost went to Uncle Elizabeth's internet cafe today because I was craving hot chocolate with whipped cream topped with chocolate sprinkles. Being that I don't have hot chocolate makings here at my place, Unc's the only place I wanted to be.

Then hark! Something happened. I bought two new games for my confuser and both don't work. I read the error message it gave me and a wise woman told me I needed an updated "---" video card. Unfortunately I forgot what type of card she told me I needed so when I called RE-PC (the computer store that I always bring my virus-infested computer to), I didn't make much sense to the lady on the phone. "Um, do you have, uh, a..um..DXE..wait, no, that's not it...um, does that kinda sound like a card of some sort?" No. "Oh." You'll probably have to bring in your computer just so we can take a look at what kind of card you'll need and if we even carry it. "Gotcha."

So I'm thinking tomorrow that's what I'll be doing. Annnnd since I will be computerless, I will then make my way to Uncle Elizabeth's and have my hot cup of chocolate with sprinkled chocolate chips in the whipped cream. MmmmmmmMmmm.

Then I got another great idea, call Neeecole. I read the error message to Neeecole and she replied that I might just need to update my driver(?). Not even sure if that's how she put it, but computer talk all sounds the same to me, so yeah, that's how I took it. I went to Microsoft.com and downloaded all sorts of shit. No idea what they're for, but now I have about 4 more icons on my desktop. For a split second there, I felt like Bill Gates...without the money.

Still my games don't run, but that's okay, I'm in high spirits.

I would really like to stop bleeding now...thank you.

Flipping gears..

After Trish and I went rock climbing yesterday at REI, we went to World Wraps. Never been there before, but I didn't like it, but I think that's just due to me being stupid. Trish and I were standing there for about 15 minutes not being served when it registered that we weren't in line. *shrugs shoulders* Egg on our face. Trish is being helped and I was next when this butch chick manager type thingy walks out to take my order. Somewhere I thought I saw a wrap with bacon in it, so I asked for a salad wrap thingamajib with bacon. Butchy snorted and replied they don't have pork. But I knew I wasn't hallucinating, I saw bacon strips somewhere on that menu. I looked back and realized that about half of Seattle was behind me in line and they don't care if World Wraps has bacon or not, they wanted me to move. Then, of course, it clicked that perhaps I was hallucinating because where I thought I saw bacon was under the seafood section of the menu. Okay, so I can't read...I'm working on it.

The newspapers were rather boring today. It wasn't because it was put together horribly, but more like the writers didn't try to make it interesting, so it caused a bit of disappointment. WRITE FOR MY ENJOYMENT AND MY ENJOYMENT ONLY!!! We'll see if that helps.

I know I need to eat, but I'm not hungry...however I will have a sugar drop if I don't eat pretty soon so I should just do it, right? Right. I'm already bitchy about me bleeding to death for the next 5 days, I don't need to be all pissy on top of that cause I'm hungry.

Shit, I think I have a marching band playing outside my window.

Something funny-

When asked to name a weakness during your job interview, you reply: "I have a slight gambling problem that sometimes leads me to theft."

That cracks me up, I need to send that to Mary.
