No mother board, no mother ship.

You know what is incredibly annoying? When I go to put on my iPod and instead of hitting the middle button so I go through the menu options to get to my artist of choice (currently Joshua Radin as I’m doing work and he is soothing), I hit the play button, which takes me to the very first song in my library, which happens to be N’Sync’s “the Game is Over.” Apparently I liked this song at some point of my life. I guess that was like 6 years ago or something. But now it hurts my ears. I’m guessing you may be unfamiliar so let me summarize – the song kicks off with pinball machine noises. Yep, it does. It’s terrible. Can’t stand it.

But, in other news, my f'in H-Piece of shit computer died on me on Sunday night. $200 later I took what was left of it (my hard drive) and walked out with my diagnosis from the Geek Squad: my mother board is shot. Mother board. Whatever the hell that is. Do you know what it feels like to have your computer die? Like you lost an appendage. I know it sounds dramatic, but it's true, honest abe it is. I was a bitch-a-holic on Monday. I'm over it now. Working on a loaner lap top. Or rather not working on it considering that I have a 6 page paper due tomorrow and it's 10pm and I have yet to start in on it. But you know what I liked to do yesterday? I liked to go around to my friends and be like, "Hey, look, this is my computer" and show them my teeny tiny little box of a hard drive. They laughed. They probably didn't think it was funny, but given my bitchy state, thought it better to laugh anyway. Right on.

But, who cares about my computer right? Wanna know something more exciting??? SV got engaged this weekend!!!!!! I wanted to post some pictures of the newly official-ized couple here, but, umm, well, there is no pic slot in this computer which is not my own anyway so I can't so much transfer them over. Anyway. They are adorable, I love SV and the Nate, and am 800% happy for them. And we celebrated liberally over the weekend, but I"m pretty sure we can stretch it out a couple more weekends maybe b/c hey, they're worth it. Ok then, I'm going to try to be productive now. From here on out, it's all about pay and compensation practices in Canadian professional soccer. gosh, what fun we shall have.

Wait one more thing? Know what's weird? When you're sitting with friends and they're like, "Lindy, have you blogged lately? Let me see." And then they go ahead and pull it up and start reading it when you're sitting with them. It's nice when they giggle, although you doubt their sincereity somewhat...but still...kinda odd. Anyway, just a thought. On that note, the end.
