cry whine bitch moan grumble

expletive expletive expletive expletive

I had a big, long, interesting Livejournal post written out (and it was cut, so that it didn't clog up everyone's friends pages) and the computer froze up and I lost all of it. I'm not feeling well, I’ve had a bad day, and then that happens. ARRRRRGHHHH!!!

So, let's retry this, eh? Maybe I will type this all out in a word file so it saves regularly.

I suggest that if you think you will comment on anything, you open up the comments page in a separate window right now (or open up a notepad/word file) and just type the comments as you come across them. I promise these cuts are REALLY HUGE and by the end, you might have forgotten all you want to comment on!

Okay, now for the long bits, which I will cut with my new LJ knowledge (woo adalius! They're separated into My Birthday Weekend, and Monday.

This is for actual current events, not the history of the past 4 days. :)

Thanks to my dumb Papa John’s boss last night (he made me stay past midnight even though I’m supposed to leave at midnight and my availability says not past midnight) and yummy nauseating side effects of penicillin, I called in to Saxon today and said I wasn’t coming in. I slept until 11 instead, which I needed. Now I’m up, and I’m using goldbug’s computer for this. I hope she doesn’t mind… she has told me that I can use her computer, but I don’t know if that means “you can turn it on while I’m not home”. And I hope she doesn’t mind that I added my ICQ number and logged it on, and installed AIM so I can talk to Jason. All these things are reversible, though, so if she does mind, we’ll uninstall.

First off, check this out. US Airways and Space Adventures have started a deal where you can use frequent flyer miles for space travel. Now I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m gonna look into the frequent flyer plan for US Airways now. I know they don’t fly out of OKC, Dallas is the closest, but I’ve flown from Dallas before for cost reasons. Plus, they stop in Boston, and that’s where I’ll be all next summer… Hmmm…. I guess I’d better figure out how much miles they require for this kind of thing. After all, it’s $98,000 per person for the suborbital flights… So if you have to have that many frequent flyer miles, damn. No use in me trying. ;)

I guess it’s time now to take a shower and head to pad thai… See everyone later!

thai food sharing

Those who have laid claim to half (or more) of my thai food lunches:

Monday: goldbug (since I don't go to the lab afterwards anyway)
Tuesday: free, although often Brendan is at the lab - but not always. This meal I get to go and bring it to the lab at 2:30.
Wednesday: Brendan
Thursday: Elise has claimed this one now.
Friday: free - maybe. This meal is also brought to the lab.

I need to know if anyone wants to specifically claim a day, because people have food requirements (like vegetarian, or no-peanut). If I know I'm going to feed someone on a particular day, I can make sure to get food they will be able to eat.

I'm Shaking

I just bought:

a black mid-tower case
a case fan
a motherboard
a fan for the motherboard
a Gforce2 card
a floppy drive
a cd-rw drive (24X10X40)
a 20 gig hard drive
128 megs of ram
a AMD Athlon XP 1700+ processor

Soon, when I have more money, I will buy a keyboard, sound card, and monitor. And when the prices go back down, I will buy more ram.

I plan on using Teddyville's keyboard and monitor until then. And onboard sound.

I have a mouse, speakers, and a network card.

Am I missing anything?

I'm shaking. I'm so happy to have a desktop computer! And I can afford it. It'll hinder the debt-free-by-May, but I'll still have OLD debts paid off by May.

Also, I will need some Windows action. *twiddle*

And I will need someone to help me put it all together when the parts come in :)
