Month: August 2004

I bought 3 tickets two friggin' months ago for myself and 2 friends. I've been chasing them since then to get the money back for their tickets. I finally got one yesterday, and today the other one sends me an email telling me, dang, I can't go.

So now I'm stuck with a kick-ass 100$ ticket. So here's the lowdown:

who: Rush
what: 30th anniversary concert tour
when: saturday, august 21st, at 8pm
where: Bell Center, Parterre Nord (BB-20)
how much: $97.30

I forgot my laptop power supply at home. I have 30 minutes of battery power left. This will be a problem.

Today was heads and shoulders better than yesterday. Even though I did get a lot of good work done on LJ.NET, yesterday was a boring, muggy day (for the most part). Today was better. I got some housework done, and I went to ikea with montreality and sbourge. I got a pole for the drapes I wanted to pu t up in the living room to get rid of some of the glare when we were watching TV in the evening.

A short time later, a friend called me to invite me to go play a new board game the boys bought, so I spent the evening doing that, eating burgers on the BBQ and smoking up. A nice end to the weekend.

So now I'm home, watching a bit of TV before going to bed. Cat is being a pain once in a while – when he's not purring away next to me. I so don't feel like going to work tomorrow. That, more than anything else, confirms that I need a new job. The fact that raspberrysalmon and eniran won't be there to relieve my boredom in the afternoon really doesn't help.

I need a vacation.

I'm still working on my custom version of LJ.NET, and having a really good time of it :)

Edit: so it's now two hours later, and I got a lot of cool stuff done.

…which is good in a woman but bad in a city.

It's muggy, it's damp. It's been raining since yesterday night. Normally, I like the rain, but today, it's too damn humid to do anything. I spent the day indoors, trying to keep cool with the fan in my bedroom. Results were mixed.

Got some busy-work done, like dishes and laundry, but overall, today was spent fixing my computer problems. I re-installed my desktop, but I realized in doing so that I lost all the documents I had on it. I'm pretty sure I have my documents backed up on CD, I just need to find them. I still need to reinstall all the applications I use for fun stuff too, but at least I can connect to the net again.

I also got my wireless working again (typing this from my laptop in the living room). I think the DHCP server from my wireless is acting up, because once I switched to static IPs on my home network, everything is hunky-dory. The high point of this day was the unexpected conversation I had with raspberrysalmon. My laptop was happily wireless again for less than 5 minutes when I got a happy surprise. That made my day (thank you muffin! Hope you have a great time in Zurich!!!!)

Now, I'm going to go make myself some pancakes, cause I really don't feel like making anything more elaborate for dinner.
