I saw physics happen today. Ill explain more later, but it involves a silent baby.

... get preached at by my uncle for close to an hour.  hes a rad dude and im not opposed to learning about Jesus from his point of view.  so despite my disagreeing with him, im all listening sincerely because hes not trying to convert me to low self esteem church, he just likes talking/teaching about Jesus a whole lot.

other than that, it was awesome to catch up with him, aunt, and cousins.  it was a beautiful day for a cook out and outdoors-y family togetherness.

I'm terrified it's something like that MASH episode with the woman who smothers her baby to keep it quiet.

I laughed till it hurt when he busted that out.

yeah, our groceries have been a lot more expensive this year. I do not understand why. They were more per-trip last year, because we didn't have a car and would have to stock up on stuff. This year it adds up to a lot more per-month and I do not really understand why. We buy beer now, but not enough to make as large a difference as there is. maybe my roommate cooks fancier things now?

apparently what I thought was allergies is actually allergies combined with the worst cold I have ever had. It is like the commercials where their head is blown up like a balloon, etc.

Today (well actually yesterday but whatever), I will go out on a limb and have the fucker fall out from under me.
Ah well, I'd still do it again.

The other day my roommate informed me that a lot of people consider me "kind of rude" because I do not say hello to them when we pass in the halls. I do not understand how this is possibly the case.

this is like how some girls have told me they thought I was "intimidating" when they first met me. I am a small dude, who is very clearly nervous at almost all times. What gives? I think sometimes "I'm not talking to you because you make me anxious" is interpreted as "I'm too cool to talk to you."

Today I'm going to do my taxes!

Probably.

This is correct. If you are shy but not at the same time generally inept in all areas of life, from the point of view of the people you are not being friendly to, you come off as a snob. Speaking from experience, things will probably go better for you if it doesn't take you several decades to learn this.

Today I'm going to freak out about my computer. It took me 4 tries to turn it on this morning. Each time the power light comes on but the first time the monitor said no signal. The 2nd time I just got a blank screen, the 3rd I got a message saying there was a problem with Windows/System32 then finally the 4th time it booted normally.

Last week I turned it on before I hopped in the shower and when I came out it was doing the "no signal" thing so I hit the reset button and everything was fine after that.

I don't even know where the problem is. Ack.

Damn, those are bad signs. At first I was going to say your video card might be going, but the Windows/System 32 error is odd. Was that error after the POST screen, while Windows was loading? It could possibly be two unrelated problems (video card slowly dying and also corrupted system files).

I'm thinking video card. Because on the 2nd boot when I got a totally black screen I hit the reset switch about 40 seconds after the boot which would have been in the middle of XP loading. Then I got the System32 message asking for the Windows disk. Then I hit reset again and got a normal BIOS screen and it booted fine.

I forgot to mention that on Sunday I turned my monitor off, went out and about, came home, turned the monitor on and saw just a black screen (which is also my screen-saver). I tried hitting space and wiggling the penis but nothing. So I hit the reset button and everything was fine.

The system is 5 years old and I've had video cards die on me after 2-3 years before. And of course I'm not looking to spend any money right now.

Have you backed up your data?  You should back up your data, nowish.  Yeah, if it's a video card that won't affect your data, but... back up your data.

[Mr Trout]

Two types of people in the world. Those who have lost critical data due to hardware failure, and those who will.

If I still had my box of old hardware lying around I'd totally send you a video card but my SO at the time made me donate it all when I moved last year.
