1. I might not be online much for a bit.

2. I downloaded a browser upgrade a little while ago and now I can't get online and I can't fix it. Murphy's Law strikes again. I'm typing this from the hub's computer, but I really hate hanging out on it. The keyboard is spaced weirdly and this thing runs on Vista. Vista annoys me.

3. I've been anxious all day and all night and I don't like it.

4. I feel like I have been doing nothing but trying to fix one big problem after another for weeks now. I'm tired, I'm cranky and I'm starting to run out of energy for the crappier stuff in life.

5. I have an earache and the hypochondria is running rampant.

6. Will the unknown party please stop torturing the little voodoo doll that looks like me? If not, I will cast a spell of my own and the damn thing is going to leap to life and maim the aforementioned unknown party.

7. I need something really good to happen.

8. I think I'm going to bail on the computer mess. Probably time to reinstall the operating system so I can clean-slate this thing. I really wanted to avoid that, but at least now I won't lose anything important if I do it. I'm trying to look at the bright side. Reinstalling will be like having a brand new computer.

9. I think I am addicted to my computer. I feel naked or something without it. I have to use it, I can't get online with it and so I feel like I don't have any choice but to write. Of course I will use the external floppy (stop laughing), so I won't be risking having my stuff sucked into a machine that has been possessed by an evil leprechaun.

10. Is being forced to write another bright side? Well, that depends on how you look at it.
