I was so hungry I was going to faint, no shit, on Saturday when I was at work.

there was nothing in the vending machines to eat that didn't have gluten in it.

But... fainting at work. not groovy. so I bought one of those microwaveable Campbell's chunky soup thingies, and ate it, wishing that there had been some yogurt or chocolate that wasn't anything but chocolate or not chocolate flavoured milk.

It was incredible searing pain and my intestines doing their "look! I'm a balloon animal!" thing. and my lower belly is still bitching and moaning at me here on this fine Monday morning. I do not get it. Sometimes I can get away with eating bread, I'm not kidding, white bread, a baguette even with warmed up brie and slices of pear and the last of the coconut milk and chicken soup and a bit of wine and not even a mumble. when I'm desperately hungry and there's nothing but not gluten free products I try something and it's the freaking French revolution in there.

This is my body. stupid body.

ETA: oh, and

I'm going to go buy the patch today. I hate cigarettes, too.

so my computer will not boot up, the fuckedy thing.

It was asking me for my windows XP disk.

I fed it the damned thing.

it went into bootup loop. ARGH.

it says that ntfs.exe is either missing or corrupt. So whatinhell do i do now?

I'm thinking I have to format and reinstall. am I right?

but howinhell do I do that if it keeps on looping? do I have to pull the drive, put it in another computer, format it from there, put it back in, and then install?

I'm going to lose writing.

This stinks.

I wish my laptop wasn't broken too. I'd put linux on it, fart around, figure it out, and then wipe Microdorks from my life. Fuck you, windows. Just.... fuck you.

I suppose I could just format this and start from linux and flail around on that system until I figure it out. couldn't I? but the question is how do I format the drive if I can't get to a command prompt? Because I'm sorry to lose the use of Photoshop because that software was expensive but Windows XP was a dismal failure and I hate prolonging a relationship that makes me feel icky inside.

I know I have a bunch of obi-wan kenobis hanging around here. so I'll put my hair into a pair of braided buns and say help me you're my only hope aaaaaaaaaaaaa

when I get home I will download and burn a Linux disk and start from the very beginning, and figure out how to make words and play on the internet and chat on AIM and use Skype and get my webcam going and listen to MP3 - oh wait, is my collection now a bunch of attractive coasters if I make the switch? I mean they're just data disks, is there a problem?

i lost. my writing.

*kicks everything*

so I read The Family Trade last night.

and I thiught I was all clever because I popped my head up on page 117 and said, now I know why the book opened that way! it's because spoiler )

and then I get to page 137 and i sarcastically congratluate myself on keeping up with the obvious, since [livejournal.com profile] autopope basically says as much right there.

so, sulking, I have a shower with the sauna turned on. and as I'm going into the sauna (to continue reading the book,) I think to myself Oh! but wait! That probably means that...

no, if I'm right, and it has not yet been revealed, then it's too, too much of a spoiler to reveal what I thunk just there.

But I will be all smug and "i told you so" if I'm right.

even if I didn't tell you so.

because I worried that it would spoil the surprise.

because if I'm right it won't happen until the end of the second book, which i have not yet read. Maybe even the third.

I think i'm pulling a connie willis, if I may toot my own horn. soon I will cease to be surprised by anything. but you know what? it's not *bad.* it doesn't wreck it for me.

and oh yeah BOOOOOOOO to the cliffhanger! I know it's not [livejournal.com profile] autopope's fault, but seriously, boo boo boo boo boo. that's totally not right boo.
cpolk: (ohfuck)
I left my book at [livejournal.com profile] uranyx and [livejournal.com profile] arcadiax's house.

fuck. I need it back three hours ago. and I don't have phone numbers, and I have to sit here and hope that [livejournal.com profile] strigoitemplar and [livejournal.com profile] mytherin look at it and say, "gee, we better get that back to her asap," and drop it off on the way home.

I am not going to be able to sleep until I get that book back.

That is all.
