All secret-like, Celina (the young woman formerly known as “Mononoke” in the old KNRK chat channel) went and started up a journal thingie. (Yes, I’m using Mari‘s lingo. Your point?)
Go forth, read, and encourage. She’s good people.
Moody in the Rain
Today I’m getting things done. I completed the next-to-last of the PD Streaming machines. I did some administrivia and maintenance. I even have plans to do some more… things.
Yesterday, not so much. It was one of those crazy, never a moment’s rest kind of days. Only small fires, but there were an awful lot of them.
And that was just at work.
The hard drive in what we call The Big Computer at home went click-of-death Sunday night, so I went home yesterday to face the task of completely rebuilding the box. No stress, it’s only the sole Internet access computer in the house. This time I went with Windows 2000 Pro instead of the venerable (and finicky) Windows 98 SE. In the process I discovered that the DVD-ROM drive and the (crappy Acer) CD-RW drive refuse to peacefully coexist. So we’ve gone from two hard drives and two CD drives in that computer to one of each. Bleah.
Oh yeah, and half an hour into the process my back went out. It went out in a big, bad, hurtful way. It’s now 18 hours later and my shoulder’s still twinging. Ouch.
So I’m glad it’s Tuesday and not Monday The Thirteenth anymore. The only good to come out of yesterday was dinner at Chang’s with Wendi. Yum.
On a completely unrelated note, I’ve picked out my camera. It’s only a month away…
So once again I am bowing to peer pressure. What can I say? I’m weak. And Lil’ told me to. I quote: “You should post your answers on your journal, too. No, really.”
If you want to read my snarky answers to the longest, silliest survey to worm its way around the Internet in months, here you go.
And just because I’m evil, I “asked” Andrew Wolfe (from my NaNoWriMo novel) to “answer” the “survey” (whoops, got carried away with quote marks…) as well. Here’s his version.
As Mari has already pointed out, this may be the lamest Friday Five of all time. So instead of merely complaining, I’m going to have a bit of fun with it. Afterward, if I can be bothered, I’ll submit some questions of my own. But first…
Through some incredible cosmic string of coincidences, I’ve managed until now not to know about Sluggy Freelance. I discovered it this morning by way of DiabloII.net.
Looks like I have another online comic strip to read in its entirety in one sitting, rather like I did with Exploitation Now! and Helen, Sweetheart Of The Internet…
you have an ominosity quotient of six.
