Spending the day cleaning up my work laptop, burning off the gigabytes of my data that aren’t work-related. Yay me!

I am woken at 6:30 this morning by my brother, who is calling to reconfirm that I am UNinvited from his wedding. After trying to get back to sleep for a few precious minutes, I decide to give up and focus my remaining energies on M., who is feeling ill and needs to go to the hospital. (Everything seems fine, for now. –wohali). Then I had to deal with sitting in a hospital waiting room for at least two hours, maybe more.

After all of that, I am here, stumbling blindly through my day, trying to make sense of it all when everyone else around me seems to be crashing down.

I will continue without him. I am strong, with or without the spineless, emotionally crippled, dependent weakling known as my brother. He can choose to follow me or exclude me, but he certainly can’t choose to undo the pain he’s caused me now.

So my grandparents aren’t pissed at me, it’s just that their WebTV is down. Now to see if they can figure out how to get it back up and running again…they say it just won’t connect.

So before the villa, we’ll be staying at the Hotel Majestic Roma for two nights.

:P

Science tinkerers continue to take it on the chin

Women and Slaves in Classical Culture: Differential Equations .

Yes, I want a cross-disciplinary major in Roman Art & Architecture and Mathematics! Come to think of it, that’s not such a bad idea…

So we’re going to Italy for two weeks, half in big cities, and one week in this beautiful villa:

Don’t you just want to die?

Wheeee! One good thing about living abroad: I get an automatic 4-month extension on my US taxes (and yes, I owe nothing this year…)

Yay! Now I have until August 15th to file!

I support and use sema‘s client.

Check out this post.

Essentially all of the Windows-based clients for LJ, including sema’s great one and the “official” client was working on (asshole) are now illegal. Though I can’t tell if visions is being honest or a complete asshole for feeling slighted by the LJ developers. This crap so disappoints me with software development. Giant fucking egos…
