Besides being utterly confused by last night, which I won't say anything about, I'm very happy at the moment.

To get to the point (read the subtext for the details), I had to reinstall Windows after a bit and I lost my journals. That's what I get for printing stuff with a cheap printer in draft mode. I definitely have to get one that actually dries the ink. So, back to the book. It's called The Crystal Cave and Mary Stewart wrote it. I ended up venting my rage by reading it and I spent about four hours reading 225 pages. I've decided that this book would be infinitely more fun to write an essay about because, as much as I hate to admit it (well, I don't really care but this makes it sound more dramatic), I thought The Mists of Avalon sucked. And when I say a book sucks, I mean I had to force myself to read it... very hard in this case.

What else can I say? Mixed signals are evil. And confusing. Mostly confusing, since it's kind of fun trying to make sense of them, but still evil. I'd rather not have to do any of this "piecing together" bussiness... but, hey, it's not like I'd be doing anything terribly interesting otherwise so it gives me something pleasurable to think about. (Did that even make sense?)

Subtext:
_{As I was wandering aimlessly through Borders today (don't ask) I came across the part of the fantasy section that holds all of the over-sized books and I don't mean hard-covered by over-sized: they just look funny. Anyway, I found a particularly oddly-shaped series, so I picked the first book out of it. Lo and behold, it ended up being arthurian legend. This, normally, wouldn't have meant anything to me, but I read The Mists of Avalon for my summer reading and I was incredibly pissed at how much smaller the book was. So, out of spite, I got it.}

Here comes the fun part. After purchasing the book, I started home... and it took me awhile to walk. Anyway, as I came in the door, my grandmother came down to tell me she was "looking for the cat" (i.e. snooping) in my room and she had spilled her coffee on some of my papers when my mom came in and asked what she was doing. I didn't really care, but I walked into my room to find one of my drawers, the one with most of the papers that I keep, ajar. Sure enough, the stack of papers had coffee all over it. Ironically, the papers on top were my summer reading journals. I went off to find my labtop (if you don't get that underlining, you've obviously never had that discussion with me) to go print them again.

Of course, as soon as I booted up "my" labtop, it froze. I proceeded to smack the thing until it stayed on and I started printing the first journal again when, all of a sudden, it crashed. I rebooted only to find out that one of the system files was corrupted. Being rather distressed, I popped in the setup disk and tried to "repair the operating system", but it didn't work. I called the customer service number and they said they no longer offer support for the model and that I was "basically screwed by the sound of it". Tech support sucks these days.

Wow that sucks. So your whole summer reading project stuff is screwed? How the fuck do you accidentally spill coffee in a drawer? Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that you misspelled "neutral" in your image up there.

And yeah, I just noticed the capital "T" and the play on words with NuTang and whatnot. Have a nice day.
