How is it already February 11th? I feel like I've been soooo busy, when really I've kinda just been a giant slackmonster. Well, and also dealing with a bad cold (that I just got over in time to get another one) and horrible sinus problems (ongoing) and mainlining True Blood like I'm a junkie needing a V-juice fix ( Read more... )

So this evening Mr. Willis The Computer would not turn on. Got a light on the power button. Heard vague noises from inside the machine. But no whirrrr of start-up. I finally unplugged the power cable, waited a minute, then plugged it back in and tried again. It worked ( Read more... )

Okay, so this was my second time lugging Mr. Willis to Future Shop. THIS time they run two hard drive diagnostics and say "it's fine". NO IT'S FUCKING NOT. Then they say that unless the shut-down thing happens WHILE THEY'RE STANDING THERE WATCHING, they'll charge me $60. Even though it's under warranty. I just. *throws up hands* It's NEVER ( Read more... )

Remember how I had a sucky week last week? And how this week was supposed to be better? Yeah, not so much.

Besides being drenched a second time in another not-moosoon-but-might-as-well-be, on Monday the computer also died. Just sitting there, chatting and typing, la la la, then boop and it was like someone pulled the plug. Brought it up to the ( Read more... )

So I just went into my hotmail junk folder and found spam *from myself*. So. Apparently my hotmail has been... I dunno? Hacked? If you get something from me with about "pzifer" or something like that, with a link -- I didn't send it ( Read more... )

So on Saturday night/Sunday morning my computer started doing weird things. Well, weirdER things. Things like freezing on a grey-barred screen, and refusing to shut down unless I unplugged it and let the teeeensy bit of battery life drain. Then things like not turning on at all ( Read more... )

In the ongoing quest to Get My Life In Order,, I finally called on Wednesday and cancelled my cable television. The very nice CSR assured me multiple times, without any prompting, that this would not affect my internet service. The cable was scheduled to be turned off on Friday ( Read more... )

My lofty writing goal for the weekend was 10,000 words. I ended up with 8,501 words! Woot! Probably could have made the goal, but I chose to spend today editing the two chapters of the Oz Big Bang fic that I wrote on Friday and Saturday. I swear, I am soooooo much happier with this story. The place that the guys are in together feels much more * ( Read more... )

I am doing the "two more shifts, just two more motherfucking shifts" mantra in my head. Jeez, what a week. Last night's shift culminated in a driver flipping out and refusing to leave, trying to be all intimidating, and just... UGH. Let's say there was no good karma last night and leave it at that, shall we ( Read more... )
