The Brutality of Gloomy Days
I'm sure I'm the only person outside Japan to even own the album referenced above. Anyway, mornings like this, I'm so wiped out when my alarm sounds I accuse it of being a liar. My poor neighbours, such strange noises and accusations come from my home. Grey days, it's like I never wake up.
------------------
Five more days for big mystery event.
------------------
I reformatted the computer at home. I was optimistic I could basically gut it, put in mostly new hardware and XP would cope. It sort did, but it was having regular nervous breakdowns. Anyway, it seems good now except the XP nag function keeps insisting my firewall is off. it isn't, it's very definitely running, and working well.
Huge thanks go out to twiin, too many reasons to list here but thanks to him, I have a happy computer. Incidentally, thanks to him my girlfriend has a happy computer. I worked on it alot too, but his help was invaluable.
I would also like to thank myself for buying a hard drive enclosure and a hard drive to go with it. That has saved me more time and fury than I can express.
------------------
Anyway, I'm good, and happy. Got the gaming starting up again in the fall, which is next week as far as I'm concerned. Got a game I'm totally stoked about coming out soon to switch to from Paranoia XP as well. Life is good, with a bit of geeky thrown in. Just wish I wasn't so tired today, but I'm sure Aikido class will wake me up.
