ARG!!!!

Ok, so I meant to post this yesterday, but was far too busy and now I am not quite as upset nonetheless I am very irritated.

Why you may ask? I shall tell you! Weds evening I was all set to play in my weds game. For those of you who dont' know it, I am a GEEK, a gamer geek. I play a weekly D&D game. Yeah, I said it get over it, it's FUN! Anyway, where was I? Oh yes, my game... since moving to P-town I have to play via web cam since the game is in TD. I have my camera all set up and finally working, FINALLY got the mic figured out. For some stupid freakin' reason it keeps getting set to mute and other random settings get changed. (Another annoyance that set the mood) I was fully connected and had all my stuff togeher, I could see the rest of the group, and just as the game started.... BAM! My comp shut down. Mind you this had been coming for a while now, I knew that something was wrong, but was assured by a certain individual that it was most likely something that me the user had done to the system to make it so laggy and non responsive. Well, when the system died and started making very loud noises, I knew I was not to blame as we had this prob when the comp had been built.... it overheated. ARG! For whatever reason it worked just "fine" for nearly a year and now it dies.

Great, just great, now what do I do? Hmmmm, well I can't edit pics on gimp, surf the net, chat with friends, NOTHING online. Ok, I will watch tv. Oh wait.... no I won't. Not because I don't have a fabulous big ass screen tv to watch, however I only have ONE FREAKING CHANNEL TO WATCH! Yeah yeah, it isn't the end of the world, there are starving kids in africa who dont' even have clean water and I am bitching thatmy comp died and that I only have 1 tv station to watch. Did I mention that the program on that SINGLE channel was.. oh lord this hurts... American Idol. Freaking shoot me NOW!!!! Yeah, and then what was on after that you may ask... the STUPIDEST game show to ever be on tv... EVER... it is something like 21 questions but with a lie detector test. Yeah, I watched it. What choice did I have? It's not like I was going to solve that dirty water and no food problem in Africa sheesh, who do you think I am???

I am a glutenous American who can't live without my iPod, computer/internet, 465 cable channels, PSP, PS3, Xbox, iTunes, and whatever else the marketing people tell me I need to be entertained with. Heaven forbid I actually read a book (hmmm), go for a walk (hell no, not when it is like 20 degrees out!), work out (not a member of a gym here yet), basically entertain myself for a few short hours. Instead I get pissed. I was sooooo angry I could have just burst. Then to top it off the dang dog wouldn't leave me alone. That damned red ball of hers... and she kept getting it stuck in places so I would have to get up and get it. I know she does that on purpose. Honestly, she does. I will be sitting in a chair and she will run up to me, instead of putting the ball in my hand, she "throws" it under the desk/ table/ chair/ coffee table or wherever else is inconvenient.

There you have it, the end of my week and my pet peeves for what set me off this week. I do have to say though, yes I am alive and thankful for that. I am also going out to dinner tonight at Montage one of my FAVE places in P-town for food and adult beverages. They have the BEST mac n'cheese. Yay, TGIF!!!
