There's this creepy guy on YouTube PM-ing me. I think he has more interests than my videos.
Speaking of which: I got a friendly e-mail from my ex-boyfriend. He hasn't contacted me in two years! 
Edit: So I made an appointment to meet him tomorrow! Kinda bizzarre how quickly that went. I'm very shaky!

I will now predict the future: 
Tomorrow, my neighbor will have a baby. It will be a boy.

Ah! Caesarian then? Sounds great, although I hope you don't share a wall, that's usually inconvenient.
Well, I'm up for a big adventure today, meeting my ex...

Yesterday I went to visit my blind friend. It was great! She cooked for me (spaghetti). It's always interesting to get a glimpse of the troubles she
faces every day. For instance, she couldn't find her oven gloves. I helped in her search, but they couldn't be found anywhere. So she had to phone her
cleaning lady.

I finally got fed up with Windows Vista. So tonight I ordered Windows 7.
If it just doesn't suck as bad, I'll be happy...

Oh, I've heard lots of positive things about 7 from one of the testers I know... It can never be as bad, can it? I mean, when I started up the PC and
it took 10 and a half hours...
On Saturday Dad and I visited GLOW Eindhoven again. It was a bit of a downer, there were sections where we walked quite a distance to watch a few
spotlights in the water. But there was another show we caught, called Glisssando. A group of 9 (1 female), dressed as monks, with a hat on fire and
standing on some segway-thing below their costumes, playing music (like Philip Glass and Steve Reich). Their show took half an hour and we were
waiting for 20 minutes... but the crowd! Man it was huge! I did have a place at the front but the videos I made donŽt look so good. Maybe IŽll upload
the best one (and that one is still pathetic).
We also salvaged my Yma Sumac CD from the player. In the process, I had to unplug the device, and in doing so I scratched my head on a stump of the
nearby palm. I now have a highly unaesthetic scratch over my right eyebrow.

If it took 10-1/2 hours to boot up then there has got to be a problem with the computer. You would need to re-install the original software I think.
at least that is how it works on Mac's. (each computer comes with restore cd's) That is why I have not been able to come on here because my laptop
needs the disc one of two of the restore cd's. I am waiting till one shows up on ebay.

The Automatic Updates were on. At the time, whenever we installed a new update, there'd be a newer one online the next day. Usually we skipped all
that and switched off the AU.
It had suddenly started off by itself. What exactly it was doing? We'll never know. The PC was usable to some extent but most of the CPU was sucked up
by whatever it was working on.
It's working OK now... except for our ATI Radeon graphic card which gives me a BSoD whenever I've played Gabriel Knight 3.

I received the Windows 7 disc today. Spent much of the afternoon installing it.
So far, so good.
Goodbye, Vista...

Please MT, tell us all about your findings!
Today I scrubbed the bathroom and dropped a bottle of bath salt. You know, one of those pretty ones that stood idle for years because it looked too
nice to use.

I finally figured out why my computer was locking up occasionally. It was my video card. Now I don't live in constant fear of crashes. Hooray...
Windows 7 is indeed better than Vista. The taskbar has some nice improvements, such as letting you move a window to the front temporarily just by
moving the mouse over the window's icon. Explorer still has some problems, like not refreshing file lists when it should. And I also had some trouble
getting Windows to recognize all three of my USB drives. I had to uninstall the drivers to get Plug and Play to work.
Windows 7 is definitely worth the $85 it cost me (most places sell it for $120) and the half a day it took to install it.

That's great! We've considered a downgrade for quite a while. Well, you know... anything's better than Vista! I've spewed my hatred of it on various
forums. I even wrote a letter to our newspaper when they wrote that a PC should start up in 2 minutes (ours takes 5 on a good day).

Baked speculaas today. It tastes great! Somehow though I think it won't last until the end of the week.

Today I bought some tickets, so now I have tickets to see three upcoming shows; all at the same theater.We have:
Zappa Plays Zappa on December 2nd
The White Album Ensemble on December 29th
The Residents on January 23rd
The White Album Ensemble is a rotating group of local musicians who do a show every Christmas where they play one or two Beatles albums in their
entirety. They originally formed specifically to play The White Album. This will be the first time they've played it in four or five years (last year
they did Abbey Road and Let It Be).
I have to go to the Residents' show all by myself. The rest of my family hates them (Mrs. Flycoon says she still has bad dreams about the Bunny Boy).
But my sixteen-year-old daughter is going with me to see ZPZ, so all is not lost...
