you know, sometimes you just have to take the good with the bad.
\ntuesday night, when i got home from work, i discovered my net connection was sketchy and then died outright. so, after futzing with it a little yesterday morning before leaving for work, i shut down the machine as per start->shutdown. when i came home last night i pressed the power button and… nothing happened. i unplugged the power cable and flipped the power supply switch and cycled the power bar all to no avail.
\ni assume it’s got to be something with the switch or the power supply. i guess i’ll take it to the shop on the weekend. i might talk to mike about it and bring it in here for him to look at, but at the pace he moves i’d be lucky to get it back by august.
\nit was interesting to be computerless last night. i didn’t really miss it, except for not being able to track my points and when i wanted to hear “white flag” by dido, i had to sing it to myself. i wish i’d brought my book home with me, though. good thing i have class tonight to keep me occupied.
\ndid i mention part of my school blew up on tuesday? it’s a large-ish campus and one of the steam boilers in the north campus exploded, taking out portions of neighbouring buildings. my classes aren’t affected as they’re in a different section, but it was still interesting. they said there was a lot of asbestos around from the exploded buildings, so i thought it might be prudent for me to wear my sars mask to class tonight.
\nmy craptastic review of girl scout cookies:
\ncaramel de lites<\/b> – good, instant insulin response. the caramel sticks to everything at room temperature, so you have to put them in the fridge for a few minutes. unfortunately, they taste totally different chilled.
\nreduced fat lemon pastry cremes<\/b> – really good. not too lemony and the cookie part is nice and light. a winner.
\nshortbread<\/b> – it’s really hard to go wrong with shortbread. it’s kind of weird eating girls’ faces, though.
\nanimal treasures<\/b> – they’re HUGE! wow. these are for serious cookie eaters. tasty and with that instant insulin response we’ve all come to love. i ate two giraffes!
\nthin mints<\/b> – they’re not really thin and absolutely nothing like i thought they’d be (read: like the girl guide version), but still minty enough for me to eat them even though their chocolate-y coating is slightly greasy-feeling.
\ni’m glad i got to finally try the american version of the seasonal cookie whoring, but i think i’ll stick with our boring vanilla & chocolate creams.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
