30STM is playing a free concert in NYC tomorrow night. You have to be there at 5, so there's no way I could go to work and still get there in time. There's no way I could take a day off, because I took one off last week to go see them, (even though I got someone to cover for me way in advance.) More importantly, I'm still getting all kinds of grief over the fact that I did not blow off a few hours of Sunday's family gathering to come in and work on my day off. Yes, read that again.
Today I woke up in a good mood anyway, figuring I'd ask my Mom and Gran if they wanted to go to Bath and Body Works for some Autumn themed candles or whatever anyone wanted to buy. That's what I had in mind, anyway. I knew I'd have to be back early to work at GC later today, but I figured I'd get a jump on things and off we'd go. But then Mom wa son the phone for about an hour earlier, and then Gran didn't have enough time to get ready and didn't really feel like it. So I asked Mom if she wanted to take a quick trip anyway, as she needed to go into town and so did I. But then the entire time she really didn't seem to be in the mood to be out or to even talk too much. So I picked up what I needed (ink cartridges and Burt's Bees lip balm, because I lost mine,) and she got her stuff and I said, Let's just go back.
So today has been kind of a waste so far and that's put me in a bad mood. But I have Kung Fu later, so maybe that will sort me out.
So, House last night was a little weird. The whole mystery thing was pretty cool, but I'm not sure how I felt about the new development with House's, uhh, health issue (or lack thereof. I don't want to say too much because I don't feel like cutting this entry.) Something seemed a little off in last night's episode. But I did like the weirdness between Chase and House. I hope Chase doesn't leave. He's such a wimp, but I love him.
Meantime, I'm bored. And I want this week to be over.
ETA: Rob called me, and Trisky's bloodwork is all fine. That's great news! And now we just have to get through Tuesday.
ETA again: Darth Vader being a smartass.

Total computer death
Sep. 6th, 2006 10:15 pmSo a power outtage fried my hard drive and I'm typing this from my Mom's computer. The tech support guy tried to reassure me that, No, no, the hard drive is just fine, the computer is fine, you just have to reformat the hard drive. Of course, that will erase everything on it, which includes: the book I'm working on (backed up periodically, but not since the last three chapters,) years of family videos, my friend's wedding (both the latest ones, in fact,) years of digital pictures, years of (what I am pleased to call) "art" that I did and true art that was given to me as gifts over the years--specifically from Min and Ida--all the FMVs I spent hours ripping from various games as well as the sortware I used to rip it, about ten years of saved emails (I took everything over from my last few computers and saved them,) family pictures that don't exist on paper, music videos I downloaded over the years, gigibytes upon gigabytes of songs from all over the world that I don't even remember what they're called or where I got them, all the Hula videos of our group from over the years as well as the Kung Fu videos I've been taking for the last few years, countless pictures and videos (including the ones I took at the 30 Seconds to Mars concert last week,) fanart I've saved over the years, thousands pictures that I've scanned over the years, and, did I mention, THAT NOVEL I WAS WORKING ON?!
And the last picture I ever took of Pendragon, which was a digital picture.
So I decided not to reformat my hard drive, thinking that maybe someday, someone can figure out how to get at least some of those files back, regardless of what the tech support guy said. (He told me that there was no way to get that stuff back, but I'm not ready to give up.)
Anyway, that's the scoop. I can probably check in from my laptop now and then, but I won't be able to access my normal email address because, well, optonline was on that computer, too. Anyone needs to get me, you can use kapunua at yahoo dot com.
Anyone has any suggestions, you can comment here.
Other than that, I will just be in the corner screaming every obscenity I can think of.
