Okay. But I want to clean my apartment too.

I would go hiking in Yosemite.

I just walked around the office with two pieces of pointy foamcore in my hands saying, "I... am... a... stabbing... robot..."

I think I may have had too much chocolate.

You don't have to wait for vacation, you know.

i've been blowing my nose so much the past week that it hurts to touch my nose.

OTM.

xpost- i know, they stopped carrying puffs at the store here and have instead switched to something akin to .25 grit sandpaper.

so long chicago, don't take any wooden nickels.

Bbbbut all the wooden nickels I've ever been offered were redeemable for free drinks at the bar where they were offered to me.

Grrrr.

There's nothing like having a REAL, IMPORTANT GOAL or TASK to get you to do things like mop the floor, organize your closet, spackle and sand nail holes and re-hang the toilet paper holder, all of which I just did.

And put up lights in 2 closets and changed the light bulb in my stairwell.

(BTW, Courtney is a lurker on this ILX.)

ADVICE PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.


I am just trying to move around some files on my computer, from my desktop to a new folder or from one folder to another, etc. The computer will not let me drag between locations and when I try to cut and paste is says, "Cannot move [filename]: Source and destination file names are the same," which is not at all fucking true. Help!

crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Wednesday, 20 December 2006 02:45 (seventeen years ago) link

Went away, ate a sandwich, read, and came back and the files moved around just fine. During this episode I also could not move any items around on the desktop, and I made sure it that the setting was not "align to grid" or anything like that.

You know what else?? At 6 this morning I was startled out of my sleep by the sound of my dustbuster running in the bathroom (where it hangs on the wall, unused since the week I returned from NO). It was hanging there, running, but with the switch set to "OFF." I left it on the base but flicked the switch to the "ON" position, and back to "OFF" and I haven't heard from it since. Kind of weird, huh?

Also: Windows does that shit from time to time. I'm using a beta of Vista right now, and it gets REAL squirrelly about once every two weeks. And then it stops whatever shenanigans suddenly and runs like a dream. No explaining it. I bet the people who wrote the damn thing couldn't explain it without a week of debugging time. At least with Vista, it sends automatic updates to Microsoft whenever it crashes, so I like to imagine that someone somewhere IS spending a week finding a solution to my problem. Leave me with my illusions, ok?

My good good good good friend 3rica is back in town this week only! (And one day next week when I bring her back from the U.P.) We just had drinks, hence my enthusiasm in posting. We decided about the only good thing about this Xmas is the reunions with friends from far away.

Also: Kenan, I don't know if you remember me talking about this (we were both pretty drunk) but we now have a file server running Ubuntu in our living room, and it's had its fair share of shenanigans too. Computers are stoopid.

danno martinez (danno martinez), Wednesday, 20 December 2006 06:05 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't dick with ubuntu anywhere near as much as I has planned to. I use a Mac at work every day, so I don't miss having a "good" OS. I just use this computer as an internet terminal and constantly-running torrent server. And occasionally, I do work on it, but never heavy lifting.

GUESS WHO IS DONE WITH HER BIG PAPER? ME. ME IS DONE WITH HER BIG PAPER.

That's the end of this semester. ONE MORE SEMESTER AND THEN ME IS DONE WITH HER BIG LAW SCHOOL.

Oh god I just uploaded it to the uploading place. I told Drunk Dan Martin on IM a minute ago that I feel like I'm giving a baby up for adoption. A 35 page baby with 150 footnotes that I totally hate.

Stupid fucking baby.

Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Wednesday, 20 December 2006 06:19 (seventeen years ago) link

Kick the baby.

"Kick the baby" just made me laugh uncontrollably. It's clearly bed time. But I don't have any more homework to do! I want to stay up all night and NOT DO HOMEWORK! I'll be fine at work tomorrow; Jeff's parents gave me a Starbucks gift card for Christmas.

xpost - It totally is!!! When I was an undergrad back in the day I had a motherfucking typewriter, the kind with the little screen where you'd type one line at a time and then press enter and it would type it on the page. We had computer labs but only one really rich kid in my dorm had a laptop. We all got email my senior year but I couldn't figure out how to work it because it was Pine or some shit. Now I am in classes that have affiliated discussion boards. For discussing.

adoption is a loving option

I fell asleep on the train today. That's a sign that I should be in bed. But I'm NOT! Because I have a half day tomorrow, and then office xmas party. And then Thursday, another half day, and then a special marketing department party. And then Friday will be blah, and probably a short day or a nothing day for everyone. My week is effectively over.

Greek food makes my pee smell funny. Like asparagus, but not. It's more like nutmeg.

I watched two episodes of House tonight -- the last two eps of last season, which I had not seen, because it's been a while since I've even owned a TV. (I do now. Pawn shops are good things.) How can they get away with showing that much gore on network TV? I mean really. It's bad enough that they show surgery, but a dude's eye popping out of his head? In graphic detail? Fucking EWW. And the scene where House intentionally kills a dude (it's a hallucination) by driving a robotic bone saw deep into him all the way up his torso from his belly button to his neck? Causing puffy guts to puff out of his hugely open body cavity? Holy hell. Don't show me that. It feels like fetishistic violence to me, way worse than someone being shot (though the episode had a lot of that, too), and way more potentially scarring to our precious children than, say, graphic fucking. So how is this on network television? I don't want to sound like an old crank, it's a real question. Does NO violence get censored anymore?

You know, I take this back. I think either way, children will learn early on that the human body is a strange, fragile, temporal, animal thing. But I wish they'd balance it. Hey, kids! It's not all blood and guts! Some of it's semen and mucus, too! Yin and yang.

whoop de doodle (kenan), Wednesday, 20 December 2006 07:03 (seventeen years ago) link

I have to edit myself again. Both of those things are filled with yang, and not a lot of yin.

whoop de doodle (kenan), Wednesday, 20 December 2006 07:23 (seventeen years ago) link

Raw yang.

How's everybody doin'?

I'm eating a packet of cream of wheat at my desk. For some reason, these little packets always end up more like a small ball of cream of wheat than a bowl of the stuff. It's still good and warm though.

Way to go, Jenny!!!

Where can I download a free, easy music download program for my work computer? I want something similar to poisoned, but for windows. FIND IT! TELL ME!

I'm listening to Take On Me from the ILM 80s top hits.
