welcome to the weekend of our discontent

After staying up until 5am and then getting up at 10:30 the next morning, we laid down around 9:30 last night, slept until 3am, regrouped and got up at 10:30-which-is-really-11:30-thanks-to-that-goddamn-daylight-savings-time this morning. We have not done ANY work. NONE.


In other news, my computer has decided that it would be cool to have Emergency System Shutdowns every once in a while. Also, Norton tells me about every week or so that it has detected and removed the W32. blaster worm. Um... shouldn't that never happen again then? Also, my e-mail program seems to have decided that it cannot possibly get my mail. All of these things are adding up to some concern, but as I have no idea how to begin to fix any of it, I shall go blithely on until I am literally unable to use Microsoft Word to write my thesis. At which point I will freak out. Microsoft Word itself seems to be having lots of problems - some of which seem to facilitate Emergency System Shutdown status.


Also, Jane Dog seems to want something, but she doesn't talk (in words), so I don't know what.


My world is confusing today, but I am well-rested.
