computer flu
Apparently while I was at school yesterday, an unauthorized person was granted access to my computer. When I got home, I was informed that something was wrong with it.
So this unauthorized person used Internet Explorer instead of Mozilla, and “accidentally” downloaded some malware.
While we have some major problems worked out (I can SEE my SCREEN now!!), others are still driving me nuts. For example, uploading pictures, in most cases, just doesn’t work.
Let’s see if Wordpress will work…
Nope. Errors. DAMMIT. And I even got an awesome shot of the full moon tonight…
Well, if you’re awake right now, I guess you’ll just have to look out the window.
So I’m sipping some crappy box Merlot and thinking I might get into the liquor since I was supposed to be at band practice with the Quorum (HA! that makes me laugh) and getting a consultation at a tattoo place, but band practice was canceled because the guy with the effects tech equipment couldn’t make it, and since we’re not going to be up that way, we’ll have to do the consultation another time.
Meh, I’m in no hurry.
Maybe I’ll just curl up with my Bioarch book and a second glass of what I’m only tentatively referring to as ‘wine’ because my brain is too tired at the moment to manufacture a decent insult for it.
In the meantime, here are some quotes from the last couple of weeks:
“So, you’re saying it’s like a promise that there is cake, somewhere under the icing?” – Prof. Mark Jefferys, Biology of Religion/ Evolution of Storytelling class, on what is meant by “based on a true story”
“(What might result is) a child with a massive thyroid who glows in the dark.” -Dr. Haagen Klaus, Bioarchaeology, on how many roentgenograms (or was it MRI’s?) it might take to verify certain things about the growth patterns of subadult skeletons
“I wish I had a loop pedal. I could have fun playing with myself for a change… I mean, someone would actually be following me! Because it’s ME!” Angela, violin player
Arielle: “This is, like, an evolutionary error.”
Me (imitating Arielle’s oft- heard insult voice): “You’re an evolutionary error!”
Arielle: “Yeah! I’m YOUR evolutionary error!!”
…And this is where I applauded Arielle on her very first decent comeback.
Matt’s gone to visit friends. Tomorrow he’s going to a friend’s house where someone lives who I cannot bloody stand, but that’s okay because I’ve been invited to the hookah bar with a couple of the belly dance girls. Sounds like fun to me… I hope they don’t mind if I wander off for a bit. Maybe I should forewarn them about my wandering isolationist tendencies.
Oh- I’ll be performing on stage at the Covey Center for the Arts with Gypsy Tapestry Belly Dance Concert on, um… well, in the first two weeks of March. We’re not sure of the date yet, but I’ll keep you posted…

I love the way you are so politically correct here……”an un-authorized person…….”…like someone snuck into your apartment and used the computer.
