I deleted my last pathetic entry describing my failed router. All is well. It only took 14 hours but I managed to get the router online. I have no idea how. I guess something should be said about just randomly changing settings until you either fix the problem or break the computer permanently.

My laptop AC adapter is blown. It'll be about three days before Gateway can get another one for me in the mail. I either wait for the free one or pay $135 at Best Buy for a generic one. I'll wait. Right now I have a 6 pound paperweight since my battery ran out earlier this afternoon. We have our desktop downstairs but it's a hassle to go up and down all day long. No, I'm not lazy. I have a toddler to transport each and every time I want to go to the basement. I think I'll just read.

Fuck.

This has been a 150% fucked up sucky day and I am quite down and miserable for many reasons other than my laptop. The stupid fucks at Best Buy top my list... The sooner it's over the better.

The only bright spot is apparently with an 83% introverted score, I hate people just as much as asarotte and isadis. I'm among excellent company.

After much agony, I finally have the new laptop set up for a wireless connection. Phew. Actually, this is pretty cool!

I think I needed to clear my head earlier. I was banging my head on the table cuz I couldn't get the laptop to pick up the wireless connection. I went outside and mowed the lawn. It hadn't been taken care of in about 2 weeks. I put the baby down for nap, got the 6 loads of laundry out of the dryer and ate a sandwich.

Voila! Clear head...fixed laptop. Wooo Hoo!

Well, I think I've wrestled control of this paperweight from the 30+ replicating Trojan viruses that took up residence within its hard drive. It's still slow on the start up but once everything's loaded, it runs pretty smoothly. I might still have Matthew take a look at it and see if there is anything I've missed. I just keep running the virus software over and over and over and over and over again until it comes clean. There are still some annoying adwares that are popping up and no matter how much I clean I still can't get rid of them. I've checked all my settings and they are supposed to be blocking this shit.

This sucks. This is the third time this has happened. Last time we had to wipe the entire hard drive. That sucked even worse. Now that I have this beast somewhat functional I'm gonna throw everything I can on disk or into the slave.

I can't wait to just dump this wreck and let M have it. That way when she screws it up, she can deal with it. I'll have my nice clean laptop will never do anything but write college papers, go to IMDB cuz I'm that kind of a freak, and update my live journal. sigh.

You know, I feel so dirty....like I've had unprotected sex. LOL
