So here I am again, after another absence. It's almost midnight on Friday night and I'm curled up in bed with my electric blanket and the laptop. Dinner was Butter & Garlic Pasta Roni with garlic bread – not the best of meals, but it was yummy. A while ago I tried to de-bounce my dog with the laser pointer. A cattledog mix probably wasn't the best choice in the world for us but he's such a good<\/i> dog; he's very sweet and easy going – and has tons<\/i> of energy.<\/p>\n

My pc is back, minus the blown hard drive and plus a new power supply. It seems ok. Then I went ahead and put Win98 back on instead of 2K. This time I lost my quicken files, because I forgot to back them up. Oh well – it's not as devastating as it could<\/i> have been since I'm getting rid of that bank account anyway. I'll just move my paltry 401k and sucky stock info over to Rob's quicken.<\/p>\n

In the Great Crash of 2001 I lost the drive that held all of my mp3's. All six cd's worth. Which I had just finished organizing into folders by genre. I've restored them from cd, of course, but I have to go back and reorganize them again, which was a royal pain. Plus I lost a bunch of new ones. :( Hope I can find them again. Maybe this time I'll re-burn them after I get 'em organized!<\/p>\n

I'd like to get into the habit of writing more here. I really enjoy reading my friends list, and I feel mildly guilty for not contributing much. So far my journal has been mostly news snippets, minor peeves, and silly tests. Not that there's anything wrong<\/i> with that of course, I'd just like to get a little more depth<\/i> here as well. :)<\/p>\n

This past week I've been sick. Every year lately I get this cold-like thing that's a royal pain in the ass. I never feel nauseous, thank $DEITY but I get a sore throat, then a cough that gets worse and worse. Voice goes and the cough stays on. I'm in the end stage now, but this cough will stay for probably a couple more weeks. Bah.<\/p>\n

Saturday morning now. I got tired last night, and was having coughing fits anyway, so I gave up. I really need to get motivated to get my life back together. The house is awful, my desk is disgusting, my brain is mush, and oh yeah, I still need to get a job. But hey, my webpage has never looked spiffier! Bah again.<\/p>\n

Speaking of wastes of time, I found an awesome mah-jong game. You can download it here<\/a>, but I warn you – it's addicting.<\/p>\n

Well, Jake's ringing his bell to go outside and I really ought to take a shower and get dressed, so that's it for now.<\/p>\n

Hasta!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
