Murphy (of the Law) came to see me this weekend

or, if it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all!

First off, my POS television, the one I got for free when Saon left it behind over four years ago (before I moved to Oklahoma), finally died. I was in the kitchen doing something when I heard a pop from the living room. That pop was the picture tube getting fried. I had no picture at all, and a lot of high pitched noises.

Well, great. That's all I need.

I called over to Mom's to ask Jeff if I could borrow the one he got for Christmas three years ago that I've never seen him use. I expected him to say no, but he said, "sure, I guess so."

Then he had an idea. He'd buy me one from the Goodwill store for like $20. He just had to see what his schedule for this week at work looked like. Probably won't get today off. I don't know. I haven't talked to him yet.

Next, my cell phone is doing weird things, like hanging itself up in the middle of a conversation when I haven't changed location (in other words, it wasn't because I wandered away from the cell tower) and not putting thru text messages. Jon called me all pissed off because I didn't immediately respond to his text. I told him I never got a text message from him. I ended up hanging up on him because he was being unreasonable ("I did too send you a text, you should have received it!" etc. He's pulled this crap before. He's worse than a two year old sometimes!).

The only good thing is that I got my tag for the Beretta and drove it to school today.

If it's going to be cold, then let it be cold, dammit! None of this freezing our asses off one day and 60 degree temps the next. It's a wonder I haven't gotten sick yet with all this weather nonsense.

That's all from where I sit.

A "small" fire requires 5 fire trucks?!

....and other observations.

Jeff and I went to WalMart near Mom's house, just to get milk, and we were there all of 2 minutes when there was this announcement that the store needed to be evacuated.

As we were leaving, the fire fighters were already unrolling the hoses and headed towards where there was smoke.

We stuck around for a bit, and I asked a cop what was going on, and he said it was a small fire inside the store. Well, duh!

People were taking pictures with camera phones, and I was wishing I still had my Motorola phone with Channel 4's news tips line in the address book. I had to give that one up when I went to Wyoming because of the different "technology". Tracfone now offers a camera phone for like $60, and I think I will get one when my financial situation improves.

It seems a lot of stuff goes down in MWC, and maybe a camera phone will come in handy.

But why, pray tell, did it take five Edmond fire trucks for a small fire?

Someone got a new work computer (at last!). I'm almost jealous.

The days of my sitting around like a lump have to end. Nothing gets accomplished that way.

And... those individual packets of Hamburger Helper you can get now-- the ones where all you have to do is add water-- there is hamburger in them, but it's a joke. You almost have to look for them!

If you live in Edmond, it's Yes Yes No No. Think of Beethoven's 5th symphony. Works for me!

Hi, honey... I'm home!!!

(I don't have a honey... at least I don't think I do. I "borrowed" the title of a Shania Twain song for the title of this post)

Got in about 4pm yesterday.

A "travelogue" of sorts to follow. It'll be weird, because it's all text messages to my email account. Now my cell phone is toast. I somehow screwed up the battery so badly that it won't charge. Maybe all those emails from my phone.
===

I know I've been bragging about how Jeff "upgraded" my computer, but somehow, it's slower than ever! It took two hours to get online last night, then the computer decided to reboot itself.

So I'm at UCO's library typing this.
===

Let's review:

*I'm home!
*Cell phone's fried
*Computers way too slow

Tomorrow, I think Tori and I are going to look at the three apartments in MWC I researched on the internet while I was still in Wyoming. Just as long as I'm close to Rose State, I don't care how small the apartment is. So long as it's not a studio. I need a bedroom.

My household stuff will be here on Tuesday.
===

I've got phone calls I've gotta make tomorrow, too. Fortunately, they're either local or toll free, so Mom won't have this outrageous phone bill.

Thanks for peeking, cowboy ;)
