Overall, it’s been another good day.

Work was bearable – for the 5-1/2 hours that we were there. Today was my Friday AND I have a 3-day weekend! Ain’t nothing wrong with that.

Left work and headed to the comic shop for my fix. I think that I’ll leave today’s comic chat at this, although I will reserve the right to come back to it later. Disclaimers. Gotta love ’em.

We came home and hung out for a while and then left around 9:45pm to go to Angie’s gig at the Lazy Moon Bar; I don’t think that I’ve mentioned it, but Angie is the bass player for the band Groove Dilemma. It wasn’t a big turnout, considering that it is a “school night,” but they sounded good… and it looked as though they were having a lot of fun in the process. That’s what counts. After that, it was hometime, again.

Sitting in my Playspace, I started messing around with the laptop and made a rather disturbing discovery: It’s borked. *sigh*

  • The CD-ROM has renamed itself.
  • It isn’t playing nice with the other kids (not connecting to the network).
  • And it’s just plain pissing me off.

So, after making sure that it’s really being a moody amalgamation of silicon and that I’m not as mentally deficient as I sometimes seem, I took what I deemed a necessary action: I restored it to factory defaults. This means that I get to look forward to lots of fun things:

  • uninstalling some of the default software,
  • reinstalling software that I’d put on there,
  • finding out what other insidious things decided to go wrong.

I [heart] my laptop.

Well, it’s time for the Sisko Show, so I guess that about wraps it up for now.

And tomorrow is Mallday and Movienight; these come under the heading of “good things.” No clue where we’re doing lunch… or even IF we’re doing lunch, but we are going to see Marky Mark and the Monkey Bunch tomorrow evening. I really hope that it doesn’t pull a Mission to Mars or Deep Blue Sea on us. Sorry, if you’re fans of those movies, but they were big wastes of celluloid, in my opinion. And “that movie” which was based on a certain (good and fun) role-playing game? That took “disappointment” to an entirely new level.

More later.

Peace.
