what a golden age, what a time of right and reason

The other night, all the Chinese restaurants were closed. Isn't that weird? It freaked me out. We called and called, and there was either no answer, or a machine saying, "Sorry, we're closed." Then we got Thai, and man, were they busy.

I haven't been able to cook for my family in weeks. It is a problem. Especially since it is really the only thing I like doing. I should plan a big shopping trip. It's hard to make dinner when you are out of staples. Also, that laundry really needs to get done.

Ah, the exciting life.

My non-computer DVD recorder broke, and after somewhere between 20-40 emails back and forth with Gateway (including gems such as, "I understand the DVD drawer won't open. Why don't you try a lens cleaner disc?" And I should get that in the machine how?) they finally gave me the address and my repair number, and now I can't find a suitable box to ship it in. Ugh. And you know I only threw out the box it came in three weeks ago.

Also, my iPod freaked out and needed to be reformatted. No tears, because I was home when it happened, and all the songs are on the computer anyway, but that was weird. I am having bad electronics luck, which isn't like me.

I've also had a headache for four days. That, sadly, is totally like me.
