My computer decided to kill itself yesterday. I’ve been unsuccessfully battling a virus for a few months now and had just gotten to the point of ignoring it until it became a complete resource hog over the last week or so, and after several attempts to remove it even after 3 complete system restores yesterday the computer just won’t even boot up at this point. It just sits there perfectly content to be a paperweight next to my desk. It sucks because now I’ve lost all the images I’d had in the hard drive as well as a lot of software that I use a lot. Fortunately the music will be restored once I sync the iPod to whatever new machine I get, as well as probably half of the images.

Our neighbors have a puppy. I’m thinking of taking bets in the building about how long it will take before either they get a note on their door telling them to get rid of it (dogs are strictly forbidden according to the lease) or they’re evicted. From what I can tell they lock it in the bathroom when they’re not at home because I could hear it crying and barking and crying while I was in our bathroom this morning, and Eddie saw it tonight and says it’s a little brown thing.

Ah, Humpday. The day we love. Half the work week over. Not that I work right now anyway, but in 2 weeks I’ll be back in school. Gimme a week, I’ll be scarfing down Pepto and Immodium like Tic-Tacs to avoid the dreaded Digestive-System of DOOOOOM that seems to get even worse when I’m nervous.

I’ve been attempting to fix Eddie’s issues updating WOW on his computer, but I don’t appear to be helping anything. If I had his install disks I’d reinstall from scratch while he’s not home to get frustrated by it, but I can’t find them. His computer is quickly going down the shitter, so I’ve been scouring ebay for a new system for him. I think the main issue with his computer is the hard drive corrupting shit, which ends up fucking over everything. I’d buy a new computer for him, but we still need to take Pickle to the vet for her shots and a checkup, and god knows how much that will be.

While I was working on the PC in the man-cave, I came out into the living room to get some tissue and found Pickle sitting right on the top of her cage, right in the middle of it. She gave me a look that said “Yeah, i’m on top, what are you going to do about it?” I took that as a hint that she wanted to get in (even though her little door was open) and put her back inside. She’s sleeping right now.

Now? It’s shower time, and time to put a new trashbag into the bin so that I can clean the tissues off my desk again. Eddie picked up some more stuffing for me, so I can work on some monkeys this afternoon, which I’ll probably do after I eat.
