otis redding - sittin on the dock of the bay

in the library, waiting for my windowsupdate to finish. it's been quite the two weeks.

i had red sox tickets last weeks, invited a friend of mine to the game, but couldn't find his place, ended up missing the game. effing sucked hardtime. then i got pretty sick for a couple of days after that and couldn't do any work (granted, this was completely my fault.) pulled up outta that funk, then promptly spilled beer on my laptop and ruined it.

terrible feeling. thought i was going to lose all my data. 24 nervous hours later i got my data back, but lost all my programs. oh well. not a huge deal. however, as i was walking out of the IT center a copper approached me. asked me for my registration... turns out mine was expired.

my car got booted then and there and i had to walk 10 miles home. in sandals. i have blisters on the bottom of my feet the sizes of half dollars - no lie, they are disgusting. so i was sans car and sans walking ability for a few days. only could order dominos - course, i barely ate that even still. tried to do work, couldn't get much shit done.

luckily, i got my car back, my computer is slowly getting back to its previous state. oh, and my boss gave me a new laptop - effing awesome. a vaio vgn-fz160e. lots of ram, fast processor, tons of space. the screen is georgeous. unfortunately, the sound doesn't work so i can't play movies, but whatever, i'm not complaining.

so yeah, from bad, to worse, to bad, to okay. i plan on going up to maine tomorrow to spend a couple of days with friends, then bomb back down to boston for a facebook developers meeting, then more or less of the same.

hopefully i'll get up the nerve to call up this girl i've been meaning to ask out for a while. even if nothing comes of it, at least i'll have someone to hang out with. been lonely as hell for a while.

peace.
