Hard Drive is dead. Long live the hard drive. Lost alot of files in the battle of Hitachi Travelmate '09. I may be able to get some of these files back, but it looks like I may be on the hook for the cost of the hard drive...hundred bucks or so....waiting on work from Hitachi....Acer has completely washed their hands of me. BLERG.
Ya so because of the computer thing I haven't been posting, and because of the computer thing I don't have the fancy program I was using to post with. And because of the computer thing I'm finding out just how possessive one can be with her brand new laptop. Because of this computer thing I'm finding out that alot of things are not located on a two way street unless you are willing to drive into on coming traffic every once in a while. It's not that bad really but similes, and metaphoric extremes seem to be my thing.

It beckons. I can hear it through the ceiling. The low steady rumble of the tiny fan motor ever so surely pushing hot air out of the tiny heater and moving it around the bedroom upstairs. I hear it through the ceiling as I imagine I can see my breath in the air downstairs. It beckons. I must resist. I cannot go to the 24 degree oasis upstairs though my semi conscious self is drawn as a moth to flame, for the end would very nearly be the same. I must resist.
I must be strong. I must resist because, upstairs, beyond the hollow 6 panel door from Happy Harry's, nestled within the angular and earthy tinted walls, lies the beast. Flu-zilla!!!
The only thing worse than sleeping beside someone who wakes up every 30 seconds to cough, sneeze, shiver and wheeze, with a nose like an open wound, red raw and dripping thin liquid snot like a tiny river of pus, convulsing in random spasms between a mountain of virus and bug laden blankets and a foundation of damp sweaty sheets, yes the only thing worse than sleeping beside this person is to actually be this person.
Eat properly, take lots of multi vitamins, drink lots of water and get lots of rest and stay away from this person and you may, just may prevent yourself from being this person. So I've been sleeping on the couch for the last three nights and the thermostat is set to basically shut off from 11pm till 6am. I say shut off because even when it's -15 outside it usually doesn't get down to +15 inside which is where the digital wall furnace thingy is set to turn on and bring more heat.
It's funny, if it was 15 degrees outside people would be walking around in shorts and darkly colored ironic tees, but inside....no no. 15 degrees is not warm enough to sleep in. I know I just have to reprogram the thermothingy or turn it up temporarily but I can't seem to do this in the light of day and it's usually to late to do anything about it when I go to bed. And by too late I mean, pants are off, and I'm half ways to getting half ways warm underneath my favorite blankee. I can't bring myself to get up and deal with something I can do in the morning. I'll do it tomorrow. How many times have I said that out loud and to myself since I got laid off. Hmmmmmm.

It would be only too fair if you caught this horrible strain considering it was your parents doing all the infecting! Although I don't believe I could handle that level of sick man sooking. So I really hope your anti-flu blog works, lol. Oh yeah, while we're on infecting forgive me if I don't want my new laptop plagued with whatever nasty virus ridden porn was responsible for the death of your computer :)
Yes, well my computer, porn and all did not die from a virus like I am planning on tell the detectives brought about your un-timely demise, but from a hard disk failure as far as I can tell, and this just in..Hitachi wants nothing to do with any warranty action as I bought thier product as a smaller part of the bigger whole and Acer is responsible for my warranty, blah blah blah. But they did suggest a diagnostic tool download and run on the hard drive to attempt to re-write the boot sectors and possibly resurrect my machine so you can go back to running 'solo' on your machine!
Not only was your entry delightful I must say Maria's (aka Flu-Zilla) comment struck a hahaha from me as well. You 2 banter very well!!!!
I love your extreme similes and metaphors they appeal to my dramatic self. Yes, and I too understand the whole "I'll do it tomorrow" concept. Bad, bad procrastination it leaves us out in the cold sometimes and sometime inside in the cold.
Hope you didn't get the flu!
