Ya know, its one thing for your computer to be giving you the "occasional" bit of trouble...its something else entirely to try and contact the good folks at DELL and to end up talking to Hadji in New Delhi when you contact them for tech support. And almost as aggravating, as my good friend the lovely Ms Pinchon-Gleason is quick to point out...is that they never actually HELP you....they sure apologize a lot, but your still left with the original damn problem! So my lovely bride is on the phone for seemingly forever the other night trying to solve the problem, and no one can seem to understand why the hell the Internet Explorer won't work on my desktop! AARGH!
So last night, for reasons that I'm not exactly I was FINALLY able to go onto my laptop and...(brace yourself here)...surf the net!! Ya know, like you are supposed to do when you have a computer!! And I must say, its damn impressive. LCD display and there's nothing quite like actually seeing the ENTIRE page, of a website instead of having it chopped off on the edge. Something tells me that once we get this thing fixed TOTALLY, that I'm really going to enjoy the laptop. The wife has officially decided that she hates computers and wants nothing to do with them. Women....just because I sit on my fat ass while she does all the technical work...imagine that.
So lost last weekend in all the rush of getting the new dog and the new computer was what was an amazingly heartbreaking....SPORTS NEWS ALERT!! SPORTS NEWS ALERT!!....weekend for my sports teams. UGH.
The Cubs remained....well, remarkably inconsistent in their inconsistency. Give them credit...it takes one hell of an effort to not win a title in like 96 years. I mean geez, the freakin Marlins have only been in existence for 11 years, have gone through 3 of the worst owners in the HISTORY of the game...and still managed to win 2 World Series titles over the last 7 years.....how is it that the Cubs don't have that sort of blind luck? Really, its amazing that they haven't somehow managed to stumble into at least one title in almost 100 years. While I was suffering through that, Notre Dame managed to get their asses handed to them....AT HOME...by Purdue. That now makes 7 of Willingham's 19 losses at ND that have been by MORE than 20 points...and you wanna know why he's in trouble?
Well....I just thought I'd check in and let you know thatI was alive....I can't say the same for my desktop, which is just about 1/2 a step away from the old "reconfiguration".....wipe the old slate clean if ya know what I mean.
More tomorrow...including a great football game tonight and the incredibly stupid way that the team I supported BLEW the game....am I cursed???
Later,
JEFF
