It's 10G and full - I don't even know of what, I moved everything other than programs off onto other drives long long ago, and I really don't think I have 10G worth of program files.Yeah, so. I reformatted and installed: XP, Firefox and my essential add-ons, Office, Symantec, semagic, and my printer driversoftware.

I'm fine, car's in the shop, don't really feel like talking about it, I'm sure you'll hear more whining about it than you ever wanted over the next week or so. Probably will get a rental car and still make it to camping, but we'll see. Anyway. Visual field test showed basically perfect vision; the doctor thinks my brain has learned to compensate. Whee.So looks like poor Bones has finally jumped the shark,...http://stellar-dust.livejournal.com/359247.html blah.- May 18, 2008 So guess what They canceled my class. For low enrollment. AGAIN. The spring class, I could almost understand; prehistory's an elective, not required for the historic preservation certificate; but interpreting material culture's part of the core curriculum! I just don't get it. At least they gave me the courtesy of a voice mail this time... anyway, I was pissed but I'm over it. I've signed up to take two (yeah, two) classes instead; GIS (I'm finally taking GIS!) every Monday from 4:30 to..http://stellar-dust.livejournal.com/358983.html (Untitled)- May 11, 2008 Watched AWE with Mom yesterday, and I've just found another plot hole. Calypso is the sea. Unbound, she can be anything and anywhere she pleases. So why they hell would she have had to wait ten years and meet Davy Jones at a specified place And she was the one who assigned him to the Dutchman in the first place, I think ... and why So they could be together, forever, gods of the sea Which would seem to be the perfect arrangement and not even require any of the silly curse stuff.Yeah,...http://stellar-dust.livejournal.com/358495.html Yes, more Doctor Who ponderings.- May 10, 2008 Anyway, here's the thing with Doctor Who: Turns out I tuned in for more than I remembered of S2. Season 2 had some really ethically dodgy episodes, and it just so happened that the ones I randomly caught that season were the worst of the bunch: Rise of the CybermenAge of Steel: the Doctor defeats the Cybermen - which were human people just hours ago - by causing them indescribable psychicemotional pain and distress. And he's worried about whether he has the right to KILL THEM Yes!

A-FREAKING-GAIN. I thought they'd fixed that! It hasn't gone out or even pixellated for something like the last five storms! Arg!Guess I'll watch another Doctor Who instead then and get some sleep ... (I'm increasingly suspicious of my motives. I watch shows because they're, y'know, good But here I can't seem to move beyond the fact that David Tennant may very well be the prettiest man alive.)
