Thanks to Fenwick for fixing my computer. Apparently, it WASN'T a virus. It seems Windows 7 likes to take over networks and fuck itself outta online access. Talk about taking your masturbation a little far...

I just got this new (to me) computer set up tonight, a bit later than I'd have hoped. I believe that was the longest I've been offline since first coming online in '99. It's interesting when I take breaks from things that seem quite integral to various aspects of me, e.g., the Internet. But really, anything ( Read more... )

A couple of weeks ago I posted re: the Food Safety bills in Congress, and wrote a letter to my local Congressman. I must confess I was a little surprised to get a reply:

I'm really glad that I at least sat down for a while to keep the Momentum of my Writing up. In the past hour and a half, I added another 450 words to my essay, and am almost done defining my terms. LOL I've really found that proper ( Read more... )

I had to do the closing books at my job on the new system, which meant I didn't get outta work until after 7:30. FUCK!! I was really, really looking forward to going to the EUG Merry Meet tonight--I even brought in my dinner and ate it at work so I could just be a few minutes late to their 7pm start time. As I cannot stand it when people are ( Read more... )
