Sunday stuffs, much the same as Saturday stuffs

[auntiemeesh]

Things accomplished today:

*one load of laundry (all but the folding and putting away part)

*six hundred words of original fic world-building and conceptualization, while hanging out at a cafe with eve11

*purchase of dvds (season three of Las Vegas and season five of SGA) and a book (The Three Muskeeters)

*read at least half of another book (The Stupidest Angel, by Christopher Moore)

*removed a nasty trojan virus from my laptop - well, spent almost three hours on the phone with a Dell software support person letting him remove the nasty from my laptop (the reason I stopped at six hundred words of world-building and conceptualization, also probably the reason my IE went all freaky on me last week)

The virus thingy sort of hijacked my plans for the day but I did not despair. Instead I went shopping and stocked up on books and dvds in case my computer was down for the count, lol. Of course, once I talked to the guy at Dell and found out that my warranty only covers hardware problems and I'd have to pay through the teeth for the software support, I sort of wished I'd had more self control at Barnes & Noble, but that's okay. It's payday this Friday and I'll just have to be a little more lean in my spendings next month.

Oh wow, congratulations on bidding that virus farewell!

I was a little afraid that I was going to have to strip it down and reinstall Windows, thus losing everything that wasn't backed up for a second time in six months, so I was very happy the support guy was able to fix it so easily (albeit slowly).

*does a little happy dance*

Oh, glad you got it sorted. Sorry it cost you though :( I hope your laptop's sped up a bit from feeling ill.

The support guy said the reason my computer is slow is that I only have 1G of memory and Vista really needs at least 2G to support it, so I should consider upgrading my memory. *buy dell products, buy dell products* Then he strongly encouraged me to get a one year software warranty so phone calls like this will be covered in the future, even after I told him I'm getting a new computer in a couple months that may not be from Dell. *buy dell products, buy dell products* They train those guys well, lol.

Glad you've gotten rid of the trojan horse (and your IE problems, I hope) and have stocked up on books and dvds. How is "The Stupidest Angel"?
