I HAVE A COMPUTER! And I have lack of sleep because I need to finish Gulliver's Travels. Whoops?

So: Random coincidence of the day. When I went to the bus, I ended up talking to this girl from my Linguistics class. She's pretty recognizable because of her blue hair and I see her pretty much every time I go to the bus. I end up finding out that I'm not the only non-youngster in the class (25, wow, old) and that she's in the English Honors college, too. Now comes the funny part.

Once I get my computer up and running, I open my e-mail and let it download the gazillion e-mails that have been waiting for me. One of them is a friends request for Facebook from 'Jenny'. Huh, I think. Do I know a Jenny? I click on it and lo and behold, it's the girl I talked to on the bus. And even weirder? Her birthday? 6/19. For those of you who don't know? That's my birthday.

Cue the Twilight Zone theme.

So, I'm officially not going to have a computer until at least Tuesday, but more likely Wednesday. And that's providing that the parts they're sending are actually the parts that are broken. At the moment, I'm thinking that it's the motherboard. One of the last times we managed to get it to boot at all, there were graphical artifacts that were screwing up the screen.

That's what they told me was one of the potential symptoms of a dead motherboard. You know, the last time we got this replaced. What was it, a month ago?

So, for the time being, I'm only going to be at a computer when I can steal my desktop back or when I'm at school in between classes.

*Sigh*

This makes me wish that I'd never lent out my desktop. I could just set it up in the sewing room and everything would be good.

The following is from my Honors Lit Theory class:

"The perspective of the aesthetics of reception mediates between passive reception and active understanding, experience formative of norms, and new production. If the history of literature is viewed in this way within the horizon of a dialogue between work and audience that forms a continuity, the opposition between its aesthetic and its historical aspects is also continually mediated. Thus the thread from the past appearance to the present experience of literature, which historicism had cut, is tied back together.

...remind me why I'm an English major? *Tries to wade through twenty pages of this*

There will be SotP when I'm in class.

• 21:54 @frogmajick Oh, fond childhood memories. #
• 00:28 @littlesilvered Oh god, yes. #
• 00:32 @littlesilvered @dreamsofstars are pimps. Enough said. #
• 01:02 @dutchesschaotic I'm ashamed of you. You haven't pimped the Adam Pascal Chess to me, yet? #
• 01:26 @dreamsofstars You are a pimp. #
• 01:27 @dutchesschaotic Yeah, but I just started talking to @dreamsofstars. HOW long have you known about Chess. #
• 01:42 @dreamsofstars PIIIIMP. #
• 01:42 @dutchesschaotic Yup. Totally fail. *Loves anyway* #
• 01:55 @dutchesschaotic Because you always pimp me the good Adam stuff? #
• 01:55 @littlesilvered BAH. #
• 12:42 Homework and tags. Is there any other better way to spend the afternoon? #
• 12:52 @SusanEsparza Tease. Not I want chocolate. #
• 13:22 @acorn_hat Lucky. American lit. #
• 13:29 @acorn_hat A True History of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson at the moment. #
• 13:35 @acorn_hat Hah. Well, it is a 300 level class. Gotta love being a Junior. #
• 13:56 @evilsalmon What did you THINK it was? #
• 14:02 @evilsalmon HAH. No, no, no. This is stuff from, like, the 18th century. In fact, the entire class is pre-20th century Brit & Amer Lit. #
• 14:08 @evilsalmon Ugh. I know. Last semester I had an American Lit class. It's not so bad once you get past the pre-Revolutionary era. #
• 14:14 @acorn_hat Exactly. And I'm not getting JUST the American lit stuff. I'm getting the British side of it, too. *Likes that better* #
• 14:22 @acorn_hat Heee! I've been a fan ever since I was a little kid. I can blame it all on the influences of my grandmother and trips to London #
