I'm alive

Although still saddled with a dud of a computer. We were optimistic that it was just a clogged fan like a few people had suggested. We took it apart and cleaned it thoroughly. It was filthy and it seemed plausible that this was the cause of all our troubles. With renewed hope we set it up and turned it on. It was working, purring softly like a happy kitty! I plunked myself down to do some surfing, and not 15 minutes in it crashes. DAMN YOU COMPUTER!!!!


So here I am at work, using a relic from the cultural revolution for a computer and it's driving me bonkers! First of all, there's no wheelie on the mouse. Why would anyone want a mouse without a wheelie?? What good is that?? I have to scoot the pointer over and use the scroll bar, what a nuissance! Damn inconvenient scroll bar way over on the side of the screen. Of course I keep forgetting that the mouse is wheelieless so I keep giving it futile little mouse massages with my finger.


For some reason i don't get any options in my blog either. Hence the small, boring, black font.


The keyboard is all grungy too, black and sticky from so many dirty little fingers poking at it. That's just icky.


On the upside, it's on, so I'll count my blessings. One. Haha.


Tomorrow I'm supposed to pay my deposit on my trans-siberian ticket. It's such a big whackload of moolah. Even though I know it'll be amazing and totally worth it, blahblahblah, it's still hard to part with a large sum like this. And this is just the deposit - gadzooks!


Lemme see, what other thoughts should I jot down while I have the opportunity? Tomorrow is the last day of the beerfest, I'll either go tonight or tomorrow.


I hate this small font. It's giving me a headache. Besides, it's not nearly big or pompous enough for my deluded sense of importance. NOT EVEN LIKE THIS!


I'm starving. I'm so hungry that I'm eating a bag of soggy, limp crackers that have been sitting on this desk for god knows how long. After touching this grubby keyboard. I'm sickatating.


Alrighty then cowpokes, I'm off. It's been fun. For me. I've been checking in at everyone's sites when I get a chance. I don't always leave comments though, either because I don't have much time, or I'm uninspired. Or you're boring. Muahahaha! Hey, don't beat yourselves up, not everyone can come up with this riveting soggy biscuit material.


Ew, soggy biscuit. Heh heh.

I guess the only thing more primative than the computer you\'re using would be a carrier pigeon.

riveting soggy biscuit stories? hon i had to go back to see how \'buscuit\' is even spelled. Nah when i\'m running low on material i regress back to \'me in speedo\'s\' stories - i go for shock value, the send people screaming into the night kinda thing. Besides, speedo i can spell.lolz sorry about your no-wheel mouse; i had one who\'s clickee thing was screwed so i reversed the mouse so \'right-click\' ended-up being the click that did everything (including being the \'trigger\' in my wargame). Jez i got messed-up when i got a new mouse and had to change back again, i can\'t tell you how many times i\'d run into an enemy soldier just to revert to \'right-clicks\' (which didn\'t work anymore w/ new mouse) - the colonel of a clan dying like some noob moron just standing there, over and over...have you tried a \'system restore\' on your computer? If the configurations got messed around somehow and the result now is program[s] are conflicting causing a crash... perhaps taking your setting back to before it happened might be a thought.start/control panel/performance and maintenance/at upper left in \'see also\' box they\'ll be "system restore"... take it back in time to before this problem started happening); you can just as easily \'undo\' any changes you\'re about to make - just do over picking \'undo\' last change)hope you get it fixed, wouldn\'t want you missing any stories \'bout me in my speedo\'s now...(i\'m a stare at the keyboard one-fingered typer with a hamster in a wheel harddrive, i can relate hon)
