In fact, since lilo is on that failing harddrive I won&#8217;t even be able to boot into windows when it finally goes. I have semi-recent backups luckily. I wouldn&#8217;t be so annoyed\/upset by this if: <\/p>\n<p>1) the drive was more than 3 years old<br \/>\n2) the drive wasn&#8217;t Western Digital (I expect better from them than 3 years life)<br \/>\n3) my laptop hadn&#8217;t died just recently<br \/>\n4) I had more time to deal with this<\/p>\n<p>I just want things to work. For once I don&#8217;t want Linux to be a bitch or Windows to be a bitch, or my hardware to start acting up!<\/p>\n<p>Bah.<\/p>\n<p>Work was busy this week. On Thursday the girl on the &#8220;first phone&#8221; was out sick and I ended up getting most of the calls, as well as the extra load of stores to call because she was out. I was exhausted when I came home, and glad that I made up the spinach lasagne[1] *before* going to work that morning.<\/p>\n<p>Along with a busy work week, we did some socializing as well. Went to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.phillylinux.org\">PLUG<\/a> on Wednesday night, <lj user=mtj> was doing a presentation on <a href=\"http:\/\/mythtv.org\/\">MythTV<\/a>. Our friend <a href=\"http:\/\/sadlittleboy.com\/\">b2s<\/a> showed up too, as well as mct, Nita, and waltman. I also got to meet <lj user=absurdminded>, who is part of that friend group of sorts that Michael and I belong to, just never got to meet him outside of IRC (and never much spoke to him there either).<\/p>\n<p>Friday night we ended up going to <lj user=mtj>&#8216;s place for &#8220;Movie Night&#8221; this time <a href=\"http:\/\/sadlittleboy.com\/\">b2s<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/baerana.com\/\">Baerana<\/a> came too, which was fun. We had pizza and drank beer and watched dvds of Futurama. I was sleepy by 10:30, damn busy week making me fall asleep early! I wish we could have stayed longer, but I was just too tired.<\/p>\n<p>This weekend&#8230; gosh I don&#8217;t know. I&#8217;d be happy just snuggling in a blanket and reading all day today, but there is probably work around the house that needs to be done.<\/p>\n<p>*wanders off*<\/p>\n<p>[1] Which turned out great, if I do say so myself. I use the recipe from the no-boil noodles package, don&#8217;t put the ground beef in, and mix 10oz spinach with the ricotta cheese mixture. I can make it up in the morning, refrigerate it, and put it in the oven to cook when I need to, works out nicely.<\/lj-cut><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Mew&#8221; *mumble* &#8220;Meow&#8221; &#8220;I&#8217;m sleeping!&#8221; &#8220;Meow&#8221; &#8220;Go away!&#8221; *sniff and thwap nose* *mumble* &#8220;Want to sleep&#8221; &#8220;Meeeooow!&#8221; &#8220;OK, I&#8217;m up!&#8221; Damn kitty alarm clock.
