*wooze* (24th)

i've just come back from upstairs - great fscking party. but i gotta be up early, so i had to leave :(

i'm a bit on the tipsy side, so this might come out a bit weird...

tuesday:

what an upsetting day. i put the pc together, paranoid all the way, only to discover that i had the wrong power supply. so i drove all the way to rectron, bought a new one, installed the damn thing, and the system refused to boot.

*INSTANT PANIC*

i was sure i'd screwed something up. i didn't feel so good about it. i haven't felt so bad about anything in a long, long time.

my friend with no nick (erm, hellraiser) took our pc under his wing, and i had to run off and drive my mom around town. which only added to my stress. the good news: by the time i'd gotten back, he'd figured out what the problem was (the video card), and i cannot express my relief in words. talk about saving the day.

we had some coffee, then met up with another friend of mine for drinks and kareoke. t'was interesting. more coffee after that, and then it was definitely bedtime.

yesterday:

i started the day reading across the nightingale floor - i'm about halfway through, and it's fan-bloody-tastic. i'm rather enthralled.

i ran through to rectron, bought a video card (far superior to mine in israel), and finally got this machine up & running. i can't believe windows XP takes so long to install, and i've discovered that my mother forgot to backup something crucial, so i'll have to re-install the old windows 98 to get it.
crap.

my mum and i went through to my aunt's in the evening for coffee, and i made it in time for TNM at shadowslight's. we watched dagon, which was great fun. and we played munchkin. the game took a bit too long, so we gave up and watched the gamers.

and then protoplasm dragged me off to the club.
