Random musings

...as they might say over at nopod. I really don't have anythig significant to say this evening. But I managed to get my laptop to work without too much difficulty this evening, so the moon must have entered the third house of Jupiter in my communications zone and I really thought I should take advantage, and write something...anything. Maybe I can start off with the technical issues plaguing my laptop. Fascinating!, I hear you say. Please, do describe these matters in painstaking detail. If you insist...Well actually it's just that I was so excited when Steve the Kiwi moved in and promptly got broadband wireless, as I thought it would mean I could now use my laptop instead of going to the skanky internet cafe. Although I would miss being surrounded by lonely Polish guys looking for love on all the wrong porn sights, it might mean I would post on this here blog a little more frequently...not to mention commence downloading illegally acquired music on a massive scale to feed my insatiabe desire for music I would feel too ashamed to buy (Britney Spears' Toxic comes to mind). As I'm sure you have figured out by now this story does not end with me building a global blogging empire worthy of challegning the Fug for supremacy. Instead my lap top decided that it would only allow the screen to work on every third attempt and only after 'pumping' the screen back and forward in a manner not unlike cranking the engine of an old car. Of course I could have taken the damn thing back weeks ago and had it fixed on warranty but why would I do that when I can enjoy endless hours of frustration. This is clearly the only possible course of action. Otherwise, what would I have been able to write about this evening?

PS - I have managed to download new music like a little champion. It is extremely addictive. I only wish the range of music was more substantial. Why don't strangers who I'm trying to get free music off have better taste in music?

PPS - yes I do know this post was rather pointless but so are all my other ones.
