2004-05-24 - Entry 471 - TOGoS's Journal

I went down to Home Depot and Phyllis interviewed me. I hope I did good. I porobably didn't. Maybe they'll call me :|

I went roller skating, and, being the clever person that I am, I had taped the wrench that goes with my skates to the inner side of my left skate. It got lost. I couldn't find it.

Since everyone but Dad's gone until Saturday, I went ahead and brought my computer up to the living room. I'm going to have to get more RJ-45 plugs. The ethernet cable I'm using just barely reaches down to the router under the stairs.

My music.download.com account finally got activated. They totally mangle your ID3 tags. Mulker 22 is apparently track 1 on my 'http://music.download.com' album :P. They put their URL in no fewer than 6 places!

...

I was pretty bored so I called Fizz up and asked if he wanted to do anything. I went over and we decided to go look for him a computer. Staples was all out of the one I have. So we went to Office Depot, and found one that looked like a pretty good deal. And it came with a free printer. After rebates. We got 5 50$ rebates.

We got back to his house and unpacked the monitor and stuff and then his folks came back from Mary and Julia's award ceremony. They all basically said "hey, Tim got a computer!". We spent a while getting Windows to start up and not be all dumb. Then we took the main box over to my house so we could copy software and stuff onto it. And we played ZDoom on the new Crapi 5 for a while. And he talked on the IMmer to some friends.

Maybe I'll go to sleep, now.
