EVIL WILL ALWAYS WIN, BECAUSE GOOD IS DUMB.
just felt like saying that.
My compuer is finally back again! woohoo! This is after formatting my hard drive, and reinstalling the BIOS. I bet the Dell support techs all know me by name now. They probably screen the calls and fight over who has to pick up (..i assume they're fighting to not be the ones to have to deal with me).
I'm tired. Never enough sleep.

I am sitting at a Power Macintosh 5400/180 called "Sleepy." To my left is "Sneezy" and to my right is "Crappy" (well, the label with its original name has been removed and replaced with the user's own interpretation as to the personality of his machine).
In the time it takes me to write an email to a friend - load the program, type, and send - I can probably walk back to NYC, tell them my message in person, have a Whopper, and walk back here. I might be exaggerating a bit, but not much. Maybe I'd have to get the Whopper "to go."
As we speak, Windows ME is reinstalling. I have already formatted my hard drive with the help of a rather condescending tech support guy. I miss my Marco. Why do they put the Windows certificate ID on the bottom of the computer?
Anyways, hopefully (fingers crossed), I can be back online tonight! Woohoo!
MACS SUCK!

My internet connection is D-E-D = DEAD!
I spent ANOTHER hour on the phone with a Dell support guy (Lee), and after updating the OS twice, and reinstalling my modem drivers twice, we were back to where we started from: NO INTERNET!
While I know many of you in cyberspace will miss me... I assure you, Anna offline is NOT a sign of the Appocalypse. At least not yet. So go on your merry way, don't drink anything suspicious, and don't wait up for the mother ship. Hopefully I'll harass the CIT tech nerds tomorrow.
On another note, I will now be taking bets on how much work you think I'll actually get accomplished now that I have no connection to the outside world. You may post your bets as comments. All you have to win is a sense of self worth.
BOOGERS!

I don't know whether to laugh or cry, what I do know is that I'm hungry!
Going to raid the fridge

my god that would fucking be the end of the world for me! i would bet you will get very little work done because you will rediscover the magical world of television...teehee
11/27/01 8:15 PM drone1218 (me) "RE: oh no!"
I have indeed rediscovered the wonderful world of television. I actually watched Dharma and Greg tonight (?!). AND I've been watching some late night Voyager - I hadn't seen these episodes.
I guess I'm too predictable.
eh.

I'm happy. I don't know why, I just am. The last few days have been good. Although being home (in the house) sucks, being back in the city isn't all that bad. I got to hang out, see some people I haven't seen in a long time, meet some new ones...
I only have 3 papers left, that's actually relatively low stress for this point in the semester. If I was back in Ithaca, I'd have to start catching up on reading, do a bunch of papers, as well as study for finals. But here... I'm all caught up! woohoo!
And Alias is on tonight!! Great show!!! Then the Practice - which isn't as good as it used to be, but it's still interesting. Phantom Menace is on tonight as well, but I don't know if it's worth taping - it'll obviously be edited, and the reception isn't all that great. Maybe I'll just wait to buy the DVD.
Sunday nights = good tv

Here I was flipping out about turning 20... I'll be OLD! Over the hill! Sure it may seem funny to you, but my fears were all confirmed when I came home and my dad gave me my mail.
See for yourself.

When I left for home, my poor drone (my laptop) was dying. Taking its last breaths. It would freeze immediately after booting up. The tech guy had me do some cpr on it, some triage... but nothing helped. It seemed hopeless.
When I turned it on today, after a 4 day break, IT WAS HEALED! I guess 4 days was enough to regenerate my loyal drone, and now it's doing its thing like a good drone should. I tell you, it's a MIRACLE! Not a glitch! WOOHOO.
I BELIEVE!

how come whenever you actually plan things and look forward to them, they always fall through?

So it's Thanksgiving. Contrary to the popular belief that it means "family" and "food" and "giving thanks," more simply, it means cooking! And what goes better with cooking than burning the food??
Something burned! When I went downstairs there was that familiar smell of something burnt... and the disperse cloud of smoke. Which, by the way, has now wafted up to MY ROOM! The joys of living on the top floor (without a door). The smoke is so thick it's like a fog. I can barely make out the other side of the room.
I know it's all part of their elaborate scheme to smoke me out of here. Sure they claim to "love" me. They begged me to come home. But the question beggs to be asked: "Why?" Tricky!
Just remember, more people die from the smoke inhalation than from the fire.

Today was THE DAY... well, it was supposed to be in any case. After 1.5 years I finally got an interview for my citizenship... and guess what?
"We checked your file this morning and we noticed that the office in Vermont didn't send us your actual application. We have a receipt for your payment [$250!!!], but not the actual application. We called them and they'll be sending it to us as soon as they can. We'll call you."
Well, it IS the US government after all... what more could one expect?
Also...
COMPUTERS FUCKING SUCK!!!
and...
NYC RULES!!!
and lastly...
cute boys with fast cars are cool :)

That's right.. I actually went outside today. To lift our spirits, my roomies and I decided to go to the National Cemetary in Arlington. Then we headed to the National Zoo. Everything in DC is "National," go figure.
Gotta love the monkeys!
I dyed my hair tonight. No, nothing wild. They call it "Nutmeg."

Alright. I'm going to make a resolution to actually write in this thing. Perhaps once a week (to start). Considering I'm a total slacker, I doubt I can do any more than that.
