I See Nothing
I have done absolute dick all day. I woke up around 8:00 after going to bed about 1:30-ish. I’ve done nothing but crap on the computer… and not productive crap.
I reinstalled my Half Life 2 games and it’s working fine, even with the 128mg video card, and that surprised me. I was expecting some trouble, but it just prompted me to install newer drivers, so I did.
I played the game a bit trying to remember whether it was as hard as the stupid Painkiller game and, so far, it isn’t, but I know hardness is yet to come since I’m at the first levels.
I went out about 4 or 5 times to Tim’s for coffee.
I went to Home Depot to check out their wallpaper. I figured since I’m home, I could take down that hideous wallpaper in the bathroom and redo it. However, it seems like Home Depot must be getting out of the wallpaper business, they hardly had anything there.
I prevented myself from buying a silver and black toaster oven for only $38. Ours is white but we never use the damned thing anyway. What can you make in a toaster oven, or what that we eat can you make in a toaster oven.
I did decide to go into the Liquor Store to browse. While I was there I remembered that we used up the last bottle of white wine we had for the dinner on Saturday night. So I picked up 3 more bottles of white (I’ve still got 2 bottles of red left).
I almost bought my snookey a bottle of vodka since he used up the last bottle. But then I decided, nah, that’s $40. You see how good I’m getting at not shopping?
And that’s my whole fricking day. Although something funny is going on with my Windows. All of a sudden the system tray doesn’t show everything that’s loaded, and it doesn’t have the expand/collapse button that’s supposed to be there, even though I never changed the settings.
Something else funny with the Windows, when using the Windows Explorer, where you used to be able to choose view details, thumbnails, list, etc., it no longer gives me the option to view filmstrip.
So I don’t know what’s happened with my Windows. If somebody knows how to fix it, please tell me. Otherwise I’m not going to worry about it until something seriously screws up.
I suppose it wouldn’t kill me to get off the computer and go finish the book I’m still reading.
I guess it’s the book I’m not reading since I read a few pages the other day and couldn’t remember what the whole story was about. I should finish that off. Maybe this evening while my honey’s out with his kids.

is the new 30. I want the world to close their mouths when they’re eating or chewing gum. If they don’t, I want to elbow them in the face.
I guess the folder has to be specified as Photo folder if it isn’t My Pictures. Right click somewhere among the files/folders and choose Customize This Folder… then choose “Pictures” from the template dropdown
