my computer - the drama queen

well, it must be that time of the month for my computer again, ‘cos she’s acting up and being all girly…just like she was a while ago.

i swear that the pesonality of someone’s scorned ex-girlfriend or ex-wife or something must periodically inhabit my computer. i was trying to play Emergence today, but she kept on freezing up. i want to spend time doing things i like, but no! i did that yesterday and now my computer is getting jealous. it’s alright if i spend time with her, but only if we do things that she likes doing, which is everything except playing games it seems.

what do you want from me? do you want me to shower you in gifts? how about some shiny new RAM, or a new motherboard? i already bought you a DVD R/RW drive, a new harddrive (which you managed to corrupt) and a brand new graphics card to replace the one you broke! i’m not made of money you know!

i hope that when i start dating again, my girlfriend is more understanding than my computer!

tyred out

ran the Decision Making programme with Frequency this morning. it was fun doing the WWHR drama. came home and watched a few Voyager episodes. the dumb thing about my room is that once the sun reaches a certain point in the sky, i can’t play computer games due to screen glare and rays of light. once the sun had done its thing, i played Sin for a while, then i played Emergence. took a few screenshots, but they’re not all that great. i’ll get some better ones later.

besides, a single screenshot doesn’t do justice to the sweet water and particle effects in the game.

had to change a tyre on Mum’s car tonight. not because it was flat, but because it looked like this:


this would’ve caused a fantastic blowout!


the wrong shape for a tyre…

spent the rest of the night watching TV.
