Computer crash

I have spent much of my weekend getting my office computer back in working order. I lost no data in the crash, but it sure was a pain to get it moving again. The restore CD that came with the computer refused to work properly. It pretended to, but 45 minutes later it still didn’t work. I tried several hard drives. Finally I resorted to my pirated copy of Windows XP. Which means no service pack 2 updates. Goddammit. The good thing is that I now have approximately 450 gigs of storage on my computer between the 4 hard drives. It’ll be a little while before I run out of space again.

Tonight I went to a bar-b-que with Tami & Bryan. Which is good since my original plan was to stare at the computer screen all day. I came home to a massive thunderstorm and rain pouring into my windows. Well okay, I’m exaggerating – the windowsills were damp. I decided to take a walk in it all, stripping myself of all electronic gadgets I happened to be carrying at the time and having only a flannel shirt to keep me warm. It was windy, thundering, cold and lightning all over the place. Got home 30 or 40 minutes later. That was fun. Sort of.
