So i’m sitting in the office trying to decide if i should wait for this disk image of Office X to mount and then install it today, or screw it and go home and deal tomorrow. I haven’t written this week because my computer is tormenting me. My watery, drop-shadowed, command-line enabled OSX machine. For the record OSX does crash. I have already crashed it 3 times in the 4 days i’ve had it installed. So far i am not rilly happy with the way this whole thing has gone here. There’s not so much software out for it yet, and the shit that is out is all buggy beta crap, and mostly i just hate all the damn anti-aliased text and drop shadows that make me feel like i’m going blind.

:: aside – it seems my swiped version of office X does not work – blech! ::

So needless to say i’ve not spent much time actually *doing* anything on the computer besides dealing with the computer. I am half considering uninstalling OSX and going back to the carefree days of 9.1. God but that pisses me off, all this wasted effort now… We’ll see.

It’s already thursday and i haven’t written at all about the fabulous party that i went to on saturday in the catacombs. I’m posting a silly picture of darleen (from nyc) and me and nils (de paris) posing in that catacombs sorta style.

Clearly the three of us need to start a band so that this can be the album cover. Anyway it rocked. There was dancing, there was wine, there was cheese, there was champagne, there was drumming, and there was a really cute but very weird guy who kept diving into the muddy floor and rolling around for no discernable reason. Check out anne-marie’s pictures of the fun. Mine will be up someday soon.

– back to today –

So it’s the last of a very long work week. The kids have been wearing me out with activity. I keep having to explain to them that my solitary self isn’t used to this much stimulation. It’s lunchtime now and i’m off for another round of battle with my bank.

More later.
