The News

This just in: I hate reading the news. It either leaves me depressed, pissed off, or in awe of how stupid people are.
Which, coincidentally, is also how going on BBM can sometime make me feel.
Christ, why do I keep some people around?
Seriously though: thirteen rapes in the region in the past few weeks? Goderich? Jack Layton? "Scientists" spouting unfounded claims about aliens? Libya? Somalia?
I'd like to get a ticket for the next flight off of Earth please.

New Computer!

Those of you who know me personally know how exciting this news is. After a summer of almost no recreational time spent on the computer due to the crappy condition of my ex-beloved laptop, and a year and a bit of putting up with it through school (probably missing many an "i", "d", or "," in my projects) I have now purchased myself a brand new (that's right, I didn't cheap out this time) Fujitsu Lifebook. I must say Algernon (that's his name) is beautiful. He, too, has his quirks, for instance, the @ key is where the " key normally is... you tell me how that happens.... But for the most part, I am happy. I enjoy being on the computer again. I can type without going back and having to add letters that my keyboard decided not to type. I have storage space for my files. I can plug it in. All these things say a lot about my lowered computer standards, but I hope that I have heightened my standards with Algernon. I get this feeling you will see a lot more of me now. Hurrah! :)
