So the life of Mags is on a rollercoaster... Everytime something good happens, something bad counter acts it. It's alright I suppose, a "break even" kinda deal. Par example, my amazing parents spring a surprise on me that involves wireless Internet, a Compaq laptop, and my ownership of it. So random and nice! They love me I guess. So 2, possibly 3, days into my ownership, there is a tragedy which involves a format gone wrong. Missing Windows files, Linksys unable to connect, programs collapsing under their own weight. Just utter computer chaos. Luckily the incompetance of Linksys technicians led me to discover a neat little trick that fixes all problems involving an Ethernet cable and a router. Yay. Also, Brian managed to fix everything in between, and add some pretty wicked programs to my Lappy. Good leads to bad, leads to good. Thus far the cycle has ended in this example.
Nothing exciting is going on really... Brian and I were supposed to go up to a cottage with my parents, but his car is on the brinks of death and thus will not sputter to our destination. Good: I have 6 days off for vacationing purposes with Brian after a long summer of work. Bad: Those 6 days will be spent at my house because we will not be attending said cottage, nor will I (obviously) have a vehicle at my disposal for vacation cavorting. On a side note, I would like to share the definition of covort because it is just so cute: To bound or prance about in a sprightly manner; caper.
Brian is looking into buying a Saturn. It's a sweet little ride. I'm very proud of him for being an adult and making the right decisions. "Right" meaning those that affect his life positively currently. I hope he buys the one we test-drove cuz it was just so nice. Not perfect, but still a great ride. Good: Brian will soon have a dependable car. Bad: This car will not be here in time for our trip.
So, conclusively I think I have proven the "break even" theory. Good: I can prove insignificant theories. Bad: I can prove insignificant theories.
Fin.
