The laptop's fan is completely beyond redemption, so I don't expect to have my computer back until next week. :( At least the repair place didn't find any other problems, so yay for that.

Dammit, I bought the wrong kind of flour, and I'll need more yeast and one more bottle of ale.

*sigh* Time to trod back to the store. This will teach me to keep a shopping list.

SRZ BIZNIZ: My computer is infested with spyware, and I have no idea how to get rid of it. I downloaded HiJack This, which is said to be immensely useful, but I don't actually know how to use it. The other Anti-SpyWare programs I've come across thus far are either useless or only detects the infected files without actually doing anything about the problem. Does anyone have any suggestions or advice? I really need to get the damn things off my laptop. Booting it up has become a nightmare lately.

I'm thinking happy thoughts, trying to keep from shouting in frustration. Clear blue skies, clear blue skies... ... ... Screw it, I'll just go with Sheppard in a sparkly tiara:



One of the best descriptions of the lure of McKay/Sheppard I've ever come across:

"Wow, they're like House and Wilson, only with more Batman jokes and allergies and less crippling drug addiction!" (valuable insight courtesy of propinquitine)

Hi, I'm gaffsie and I'm a whiny bitch. *waves*

Now bed, and then hopefully I'll be ready to rejoin the human race tomorrow.

ETA: More about Scott and Rodney in the comments, complete with a great graphic by countess7.

I wonder why videos won't load for me at Imeem. I checked their FAQ, and I do have the latest version of Flash installed. I wanted to indulge myself with some fluffy McShep vids, but I guess that's not going to happen now. *iz sad*

I promised my friend that I'd go to the jazz festival with her today, but I'm on my period and I want nothing more than to curl up on my bed with a pillow jammed under my stomach and read the trashy spy novel I started on yesterday. I don't want to go out in the fresh and crisp autumn air and face the masses. I especially don't want to hang out in a crowd of people come this evening. But I promised, and I can't back out now. :(

*sigh* Off to the city it is.

I had an exam today. It was scheduled from 9 AM to 3 PM, which led me to believe that I'd be done somewhere around noon. I was wrong. It just took me a little over one and a half hour to finish the damn thing, and now I'm not sure whether that's because I'm just that smart good at playing the system or just that stupid. Personally, I think it went well which, in turn, makes me feel like I'm committing academic fraud. I don't cheat, obviously, but I do have a knack for floating through exams easily because of my bullshitting skills. Should I feel guilty about that? I do, somewhat, when I talk with co-students who aren't as lucky.

Well, it looks like my mother has broken up with her boyfriend. He was a pretty good guy, but they had different ideas about what constitutes a relationship, or something like that. It makes me a bit sad for her sake. He seemed to make her happy, and she really deserves some love in her life. It's not too late for her to find someone new (if she wants to), but the injustice of dad having been in a committed relationship almost since the divorce went through and not her makes me upset. She's funny, smart, reasonably attractive and scarily good with people, but just because she had three kids to take care of my guess is that a lot of potential partners were afraid to start a relationship with her.

Blah.

ETA: Just to cheer myself up:


When I was a kid I thought for sure that he was speaking some made-up language, but that's actually Italian, isn't it? Whatever he's saying, he's pretty damn angry. :D

I've been watching the preview for next season's SGA. I have a baaad feeling about this...

ETA: Oh, I almost forgot. A work station at the local infotainment centre:

Who said that learning wasn't fun? ;)

Little help plz?

I just installed version 5.35 of Winamp (I was getting tired of the damn notification pop-up that appeared every single day) and I accidentally made it my default player for all media files. Now even .avi-files are marked as winamp files. I know that I can still choose to play them in VLC, but I want to have that as my default, not just an option. So, how the hell do I change back my preferences?

ETA: God, I suck even worse than I thought. Somehow I've now managed to turn all audio files into VLC-files and all videos into WMPs. HEEEEEEELP

I really am to stupid to live.
