Here's what's going on now:
1. My computer is on the fritz. Microsoft Vista sucks. Don't get it. It's terrible and I wish I had never tried it. I got it to be able to play the newest games thinking it would be helpful (Microsoft told me it would be, and I believed them like the fool I am). The problem is, Nvidia, who makes my graphics card, decided not to actually care that Vista work with their graphics cards.
I guess in a way it's good. I don't feel like I spend that much time playing games, but probably more than I need to, so it's nice to take a step back now and again.
3. I learned how to count
4. That was a joke.
5. I'm enjoying my new job change. It's been making me very tired though. I used to have two days a week where I dropped the kids off then had the morning free until my closing shift, but now I work either 7-4 or 8-5 every day, so I've been very tired. Some nights the past two weeks I've been in bed by 8.30 and even then been trying hard to stay awake that late.
6. Kids and I made cookies today. It was my wife's fault. She bought sugar cookie mix and cookie cutters and told me how great this fun activity would be. Yeah right. The only fun thing was fattening the kids up all morning then sticking them in the oven. Then decorating the house with frosting and licorice whips. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
7. Did I mention deer hunting next week? Yep, true that. Haven't been in 20 years, since I was 15. Not sure if I should go get long underwear, probably should I guess. I'm so not prepared. I've spent the past 20 years buying green and beige clothes, and now it turns out if I wear those into the woods I have a much better chance of getting shot. I've started preparing a mental list of things I need.
- Clothes (obvious)
- Gun (wish list)
- Bow and arrow (wish list but more realistic than gun)
- BB gun (this I could maybe do)
- Orange clothes, maybe earmuffs and hat
- Knife (I'm thinking Rambo knife but might just do that Swiss Army knife if I can find it. I may want to whittle something)
- Big bottle of whiskey (self-explanatory?)
- guitar (maybe two in case there's an accident after drinking the whiskey)
- Video games (portable, though batter won't last a whole week)
- Books/magazines (preferably on what to do if you're shot in the woods. Jack London probably wrote such a book)
- Long underwear
It's getting late and I'm going to bed. Carving pumpkins tomorrow. yay.

Whaaaat? You're going hunting? With who? Twenty bucks you get trampled by a deer while you're out there.
Oh, and Vista? I have learned to factor 1 hour of troubleshooting into every morning. Here's the rub: I don't have a copy of Windows XP anywhere. AND I just learned that if you reinstall Windows to try to fix some of the problems, everything gets wiped from your hard drive! So I had to buy a new external hard drive just so I can move everything off my computer, reinstall the operating system, and move everything back. Nightmare.
this is so funny. i want you to go look in the woods with gary and see where i carved my name. i know, unethical, but it was kind of fun actually. i want to know if it's still there. get a mac dude!!! ssw
